Her: “Um, why the fuck are people talking about me peeing on the floor?”
Me: “They follow me on Twitter.”
Her: “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING ON TWITTER?”
Me: “Um…..nothing.”

So, if my account no longer exists tomorrow you know why.

Most people don't know where Arby's got its name.

Took me a while until I figured it out.

Here’s another one: What does the alphabet and the song “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” have in common?

Holy shit, this is great.

When I got to the house I was like, uhhhhh….it’s a clue, but I’m too stupid…..don’t understand….then the Arby’s hit and WTF does that mean, there’s roast beef, not pork….then I thought my computer at work was fucking me up on the blank one. I even clicked on it to make it bigger to see if the picture wasn’t loading writing. Took me a while, but the roast beef was what pulled it together for me.

A Story

An Iowa graduate decided to move to a lake house in Minnesota. He drove down to get groceries every couple of weeks and had to pick up his mail from the local post office since they didn’t deliver way out where he lives.

After six months of being totally alone, there is a knock on the door. He opened it to find a large bearded local standing outside.

"Name’s Floyd, your neighbor from the next lake over. Having a party Saturday; thought you’d like to come."

This sounded pretty acceptable and he agrees to the invitation.

"Gotta warn you, though: There might be some drinkin."

The Iowa grad allows as that would be OK.

"More ’n likely that there’ll be some fighting, too."

Even that sounded tolerable after six months of living like a hermit.

"I’ve even seen some kissin’ at these parties."

That sounded just fine since the Iowan hadn’t spent more than a few minutes with a woman since he moved up to Minnesota.

Just as Floyd was leaving, the Iowan looks up and asks, "Well, what should I wear to this party?"

Floyd turned back around and said, "Whatever you want . . . just going to be the two of us!"

I won't give up

Blowing us in TCF
With Apologies to Bob Dylan
(Minnejota’s premier song writer)
(sung to the tune of "Blowin in the wind"
Adult Content – Language

How many times must Minnesota play,
before you call it a win?
How many times must the goal posts come down,
before they Gophers give in?
And how many lousy offense schemes does it take,
before Tim Brewster gets canned?

The answer my friend is blowing us in TCF,
the answer is blowing us in TCF.

How many years can the Gophers desist,
from scoring more than they give?
How many years can Jerry Kill exist,
before he’s sent back to the MAC?
And how many times can the Goophers decree,
the repeat of fifty eight will set them free?

The answer my friend is blowing us in TCF,
the answer is blowing us in TCF.

How many times must a man look up,
before he sees 55-0?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear the Gophers cry ?
And how games will they lose,
Before their goalposts belong to the Hawkeyes

The answer my friend is blowing us in TCF,
the answer is blowing us in TCF.

Long Live the Pellican Whore - like FOREVER

It hurts

that our defense is so lousy that you expect the tire fire up North to score 4 times.

Boomstine takes a kickoff return to the house this Saturday.

If he hadn't just done all that running he woulda broke M'queis into fourths.

Lucky for Minny, JB was winded.

(God, I so hope this prediction actually comes true, though Gray can remain in one piece as far as I’m concerned cause I’m a pacifist.)
