The look on someone's face when you turn down free Spurs tickets...

I wonder if that is similar to the look someone gets when somebody accepts free Wolves tickets.

I had 2 Wolves tickets sitting on the passenger seat of my car. Somebody broke the window and left 8 more tickets.

When a computer is not in your reach, twitter updates via your cell phone....priceless!

Walking around Mariucci I saw a dad showing his son and daughter the wall (opposite the benches) with the pictures of individual players and he was introducing them to guys like Neal Broten and explaining who they were and why they were on the wall.

As much as we like to complain and such....

Most, if not all, MN Gophers hockey games on TV every week, even tape delayed.

Can you imagine being a fan of any other MN school near the TC? Or for that matter, having talked to other fans across the nation, they beg and plead for games on tv, with little to show for it. For us? We feel shortchanged because "only" 75% of our games are on tv, and that's a bad year.

Here, here. I have to work Friday and Saturday nights so I usually listen to the games on the radio. Since the station never comes in for the games the twitter updates on my phone are a lifesaver. Thank you to whoever it is that gives the great detailed updates.

That the Iowa Hawkeyes ranking in the AP poll is down, if only one spot...good work AP!!

Packer fans the day after they lose (especially to the Vikes).

It's even better today! A lot of crying and moaning again.

Loading up my three year old nephew (who rarely gets sweets) up on candy on Halloween then sending him home.

The Slacker bravado seems to have subsided here, too.

The bravado is a bit lower this morning here, too...

The locker room at the gym is full of TVs tuned to Sportscenter. As I was getting ready to leave this morning, one of the guys near me mentioned that it must be nice for a team to have a QB like that (as opposed to the Cowboys).

I put on my Minnesota jacket and said, "why yes it is."

That, good sir, is awesome. One of those little moments in life you get to just smile and walk away.

A classic movie you haven't seen in a while...kids in bed..wife asleep..

North by Northwest is on right now (TCM) . Probably my favorite Hitchcock movie. Cary Grant was so cool.

Going to be building a fort for my kids tomorrow, my son is having one HELL of time waiting for Saturday to come. He has woke up everyday since we told him about it asking if this was the day...saws, air nailers, and beer...what more could a guy ask for?

Seems strange that you're building a fort for a child who is old enough to drink...

I would suggest that the majority of beer gets consumed after the usage of the saws and the air nailers.

Sounds like a great project - enjoy!

Funny story about my son and beer. My son, Grant, has a history of RSV. When he was 2 months old it landed him in Blank Children's hospital in Des Moines for 5 days, he was in bad shape but that hospital is the best!! Anyway every November and February he comes down with a cold that puts him down pretty bad; he gets all phlemed up in his lungs and he has this problem of he gets coughing and upset and empties his stomach. Also during this time he is a terrible eater, if you would know my son that usually isn't a problem. Here is the funny thing, during one of those spells when he was 2 we were trying to get him to drink some pedialyte(YUCK). He wasn't having any of that! When I was at Hy-Vee picking some pedialyte up for him I walked down the beer aisle and saw a 12 pack of Golden Light bottles. Here is the thing, Grant had this obsession with picking up my beer bottles and taking drinks of beer, so here was my thought! I could buy a 12 pack of Golden Light bottles and some orange pedialyte, then I would drink a beer and then fill it with pedialyte for him. I did just that and he never drank pedialyte so fast in his life! Sorry about the long story but didn't want anyone to think that I was a stark raving drunk and was pushing my lifestyle on my children!

Here is a pic of my progress on the kids fort. Side note to this endeavor, no beer was drank until after I shot a nail into my finger. Evidently a nail hit another nail and it shot out the side of the wood into my finger...it took a little effort to release myself from said nail!!

The RZ channel on Comcast, Best ever Football Coverage!!

Amen.


Getting free food at Plymouth Old Chicago due to the frequent visitor punch card/Beat The Manager Football Pick'em.

FYI, since they've been doing this for the last few years:

Each NFL Sunday = 1 visit:

2 visits: free pepperoni rolls
5 visits: free 3-topping calzone
10 visits: free 2-topping med pizza
15 visit: free 3-topping large pizza + order of wings

The FB Pick'em, if you beat the manager, it's a free appetizer.

If I wanted to, I wouldn't have to have bought anything yet this season. (I buy a couple beers, just to buy something)

What appears to have been the last motorcycle ride of the season this afternoon before pickling the bike.

Wuss, I rode to work everyday for the last two weeks.

BTW - I don't think anyone on this board wants to know what you do with your bike and your pickle.

Very cold goose pate...only bested by lobster pate.

Mmm...

See if that pickle crack earns you another fishing trip.
BTW...The last time I saw you on a bike it was an Ultra Classic that had a full fairing. Heated grips no doubt. It looked like there was a Lazy Boy for the passenger seat. Not exactly being in the wind on a bobber scoot, there MOCO boy.
