Ask any MN sports fan if they GAF, and 90+% will say no. The Univ. of MN hockey team has won a couple of titles in that time as well, but niche sports aren't the same. WNBA and NCAA hockey are niche sports that the average sports fan completely ignores. I'm nothing if not average.

LA Wildfires, 100K people evacuated and counting

Newsflash! People that spend their career on camera are vain and care deeply how they look while on camera. Megyn Kelly fairly oozes hypocrisy on this front. That said, it's also funny and Muir deserves some blowback. -

JFC even your attempts at trolling are inane. Did you graduate high school? -
You'd also be a perfect Minnesota sports fan. We all feel the same way with the added bonus of being able to watch professional basketball and baseball teams torture us. Over 140 consecutive seasons without even an APPEARANCE in a championship game or series.

Thanks for the update and stay safe. I remember some bad fires when I lived in SD in 2007. That was scary AF, and nothing compared to what you're going through. I'm not a T&P guy, but good vibes getting sent. -
You don't engage, you make declarations and insults and browbeat those you disagree with. There is never a discussion with you; Jon is right, and everyone else is a bootlicking bastard, among several other unsavory things repeated ad infinitum. Even if I was inclined to agree with a sliver of your hard-right orthodoxy, which happens on occasion, why would I when you're such a self-righteous ass?

Nice. I'm in. We can workshop the quote for maximum entertainment value, but maybe every time the loser comes across a post from the winner, they have to quote it and say something like "Supermike/Fnord is the best poster here, smart and eloquent. I only wish I could live up to the standard that they set every day. I apologize to everyone here for being such a moronic windbag." Begin Tuesday morning and end the following Sunday night. Minimum one quote per day (negotiable), in case the loser decides to "take a break" from the GC next week.

I was hoping for something that would provide a few more chuckles. Like the loser has to quote the winner in threads with a response of "this guy is right about everything he says and whoever disagrees is a..." or maybe something even more ghey. You are more convinced than I am about the result, but I'd still do something like this.

I wonder if this might worsen significantly in the near future, especially in that area... -
Only for the lunatic fringe.

Dude if we're going to keep our respectful little truce going you're gonna need to not throw softballs like this straight over the plate. This type of restraint is not my bag.

but but but there is lot's of money to be made and lots of very wealthy people willing to pay for those properties. Also, many of those areas were zoned and built up decades ago, long before today's much more stringent codes. I feel for the people losing their homes, but if you own in the Palisades, you have the means to do pretty much whatever you want. They'll be okay. I am curious to find out what will happen when these monied folks run into the realities of new construction on those sites. They have friends in high places in both parties. -
:chefskiss: for the thread title. Well done.

Cool. That could be a defacto home game for the Vikes. 50/50 crowd at best for the Rams. I still like the Vikings this postseason even after being demolished in Detroit. I have more faith in KOC than I have ever had in a Vikings coach. Though I'm too young to remember Bud Grant other than the very end of his career. I am all in for any game featuring Josh Allen. He's my favorite NFL player atm. Games between the Bills and either Baltimore or KC are must-see. Hoping strongly for a MIN-BUF SB. One team would finally exorcise some demons. But the pragmatist in me thinks Det-Bal for all the marbles. While I really like the Lions, as a Viking fan I'm not sure how I would feel if they got to or won the SB. That would be kind of a kick in the nuts. @supermike80 I am willing to place a non-fungible bet on the Rams-MN game, but haven't come up with any good ideas for the stakes. You?

Trump is ‘100% serious’ about acquiring Greenland, Panama Canal, say sources close to prez-elect

I was told by my freshman health teacher that this was fact! Ms. Botcher would not lie to me! Would she? :clutchingpearls: -

Skoal FTW. Also helpful for showing out as a Vikings fan, if one is inclined to publicize that character flaw. -
Ideally they will do it from stolen Chinese IP. If Chinese IP is even a thing.

Fuk yourself, I'm busy. Your rants are so tiresome and ignorant. Wait for 2 years for the inevitable voter rebuke, then another 2 for landslide losses after voters realize the country is run by Republican crooks and nutballs. Dems will be back in power and America will be in a weaker position than it is now because of Trump's 4 years of chaos, and you'll still be defending him and the oligarchs that blew it up and took the money. You are the worst kind of clueless sheep: the one that thinks he knows everything but in reality is a complete nincompoop. -

Very few terms piss me off like "microaggression." One of my staff members used that term when complaining about being bullied at work. I was more than happy to give her the boot as soon as I could. Focking microaggression. Pvssies. -

Same. You forgot to mention that when that happens, your visibility immediately goes to zero. But doing the same thing is hella fun if you're screwing around and don't have to worry about other cars! -

This. It was like riding a bike after I lived in SoCal for several years coming back to snow and ice. You know when you go into a slide at 60 mph on the interstate and don't panic or hit the brakes while correcting that you're a capable winter driver. I actually enjoy driving in those conditions, depending on what the other idiots on the road are doing.
