We had some bevys and shined some ditches last night- the northerns are running-which means we'll be sticking some suckers in a few more days.

You know you're from Minnesota if you understood any part of that sentence.

Dammit- you're right!   I just realized how bad that looks.  I guess if you grew up able throw a rock into Stearns county, its a pretty sure bet that some of their ways rubbed off....  I'm off to go check the still and hit on my cousin

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, just pointing out a fact and being proud that I understood it.

Glad you're proud of it- you DID marry into our gene pool!

U89 was going to copy this post into the LL and ask if anyone could decipher it.  KR beat me to the punch.  U89 thinks you guys are talking about some kind of fishin', but the suckers make U89 think you could be talking about some old school medicine as well.

Damn right boys! Just came back from the lake (OK and the Lodge at the lake-The Rollie Show was there) and the pike are definitely running. Not that there was anybody out with lights and spears or anything...

Gotta love Minnesota and our hick ways! U89, you boys don't know what you're missing.

Life as we know it here in Chaska -

Officers received a report of a truck that was driving in circles on McKnight Road. It was also reported that passengers were holding shotguns out the windows while the vehicle was moving. An officer observed the vehicle and stopped it. Three high school students were inside the vehicle and possessed BB guns. A fourth student was on the road filming them. They were filming a scene for a high school class and thought they were out in the country where no one would be bothered. The driver was charged with careless driving, his three buddies with disorderly conduct.

St. Paul, Iowa? Early one morning at 2:30 a.m., an officer observed a man walking near Community Bank on Walnut Street. He was having difficulty walking and leaned against the wall of the bank for a period of time. The officer parked his squad car in a nearby parking lot and observed the man walk towards him; obviously unaware he was there. The man repeatedly took five steps to the right, and then five steps to the left, making little forward progress. He came close to falling down. [This senario sound familiar to many of you?] The officer made contact with the man. The man had difficulty speaking and was from Missouri. He had lost his drivers license due to the DWI arrest. He was in Minnesota for work and was staying at the Super 8 Hotel. He admitted he was very intoxicated. He told the officer he had to work at 7:00 a.m. and wanted to sleep. He was worried his co-workers would leave the state, as they were leaving for St. Paul in the morning. The officer advised the man that St. Paul is in Minnesota, but the man disagreed. In any event, he did not make it to work at seven, due to his waking up in a Minnesota detox facility.

Yet another example of day-to-day life in Stearns County!!  

(and if you're really familiar, you'll know the Whiskey Road!! )

OH the Godfather with a couple of doozies on this glorious Friday morning.  Never a lack of excitement in Carver County.

Alright fellas, the Vikes play at the Packers on 12-21.  So we fly to Salem on Friday the 19th, carouse around, get up bright and early for the tailgate party and prepare for another hoisting of the bronze and walnut, win the trophy head to Minneapolis late Saturday evening.  The Pace Arrow (with the black Denali being towed behind for extra beverage storage) is warming up at MSP Int'l ready for the trip to Lambeau field.  Our assistants have stocked the coolers with Hamm's and Zima for me along with a generous supply of kool-aid.  Fins drives us to Lambeau and we roll into the lot about 3am.  Grab a coupla zzzzzzzzzzzz's and it's Sunday morning and what better place on earth to be than Green Bay Wisconsin for Brett Favre's annual beatdown courtesy of the Vikes.  Ok, it is now 8am and time for the Godfather to crank up the grills for more Stiftungsfest burgers.  Willy Wonka can't find his a$$ with both hands at this early hour and Frank Rickard is now 8 Hamm's deep as this is the only thing he can think of to ease to pain to come later in the afternoon.  I am obviously socializing so as to have some eye candy join us for the tailgating festivities.  I recruit a few of GB's finest to oversee security operations of the Pace Arrow and said bevies during the game or else we risk being sabotaged by angry drunken Packer fans following the game.  OAS is in charge of traffic operations as that is obviously the only thing that bright orange jacket is good for.  Game ends about 3pm with a 31-3 final Viqueens with the Win (ho hum ho hum) and fins gets the Pace Arrow on the road...

EDIT: TDT just realized that this game is 12-21 which is a Thursday for some reason.  Change of plans, this allows mass recovery time between Stagg Bowl win on 12-16 and departure of Pace Arrow/Denali on 12-20.

Who wouldn't want to help end Women's Suffrage?

TDT - Great road trip story.  We can only hope that it comes to fruition.

Still not sure that TDT's definition of 'arm candy' matches that of the rest of us-other than that, good plan!

While watching the hockey game on TV last night my wife and I were discussing life and death. I told her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.  If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

She promptly got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all my beer.

Had a couple sunset wheat's last night...tasty stuff.

fins-  Just thought you'd like to know that Westside Express in Sartell is blowing out their 30 packs of Hamm's...I believe they're going for 11.99.  Fish fry tonight?

A guy could really get used to this not working on Friday thing.

Thanks for the Hamm's tip. I better go re-stock since you and Veek depleted my inventory. Won't make the fish fry tonight - going to a birthday party for a friend in Maple Grove.

KR- love the women's sufferage clip. I'm for it too. Those poor women and all that sufferage they've had to put up with. How can they stand it?

Plan on trying to bring the Pace Arrow back to life this weekend. We'll be ready for that road trip to Green Bay!

[Veek]

Fins - with a deal like Frank scouted out for you I would suggest that you drive the Pace Arrow over there in order to have enough room for all those 30 packs.

[Willy Wonka]

I'd be in for mocking Favre in person one last time. After hearing Frank go crazy after Antonio Freeman's catch (is this our Bill Buckner moment?) from on the other side of campus, it's the least I can do to repay him. I will even brave the Johnnie crowd to do so.

I'm not even kidding about hearing him on the other side of campus, though. I walked back from North Hall, head down, back to Pittman immediately following the game. It must be at least 500 yards. It would have taken Frank around 7 minutes to cover that distance on foot, in his prime, but his voice did so easily. He was ridic.

We NEED retribution.

[frankrickard]

I would have thought the totals would have gone down when TDT moved...
