Usually the Cup is late; rarely is it so early!
Had to check if you meant it was a 2015-dated Co'C or something
Did I post instead of schedule? Eh, it happens.
I think you did try to schedule it, but you scheduled it in the past for January 9. Only luck had it be later than yesterday's Cup.
Hm. January's getting away from me already.

Heh heh.
I just hate this team so much. I can't believe I watched this.
They always find a new way. That's what's so great.
I won't deny it was hilarious.
Not having a lot of emotion attached to it was nice.
That wasn't even a new way, was it?
The Dirty Birds game was played inside.
Missed kick outside feels new.
I told a kid today after church that the way to tell when the Vikings would lose would be when it would be most painful.
Realized at that time that if they won today, any future wins might be considered "gravy".
So shall it be written; so shall it be done.
That had to be about the Vikingest Vikings game ever.
That's what I said to one of my lifelong friends, almost word for word.
My first thought was "well, Vikings gonna Viking."
I feel the opposite. Having watched almost no football the past two years, this was a joy. I wasn't invested, and a classic loss was just as good, in a memorable-watching-experience sort of way, as a win.
This.
Plus one. I don't know that I've watched any NFL games in a year, and I happened to catch the last 90 seconds of game time. Well timed, I gotta say.
I was outside looking for owls, shrikes, and winter ducks.
1. Two Great Horneds
2. Nope, but another pellet.
3. Just Commons (Mergansers and Goldeneyes), and not as many as I hoped with the river frozen above the dam.
I did find a Canada Goose decoy frozen into the river and spent half an hour chiseling it out of the ice.
I quietly set it on the woodpile. EAR already saw it.
I, obviously, didn't watch. However, if there is audio of PA being crushed and devastated that can be set to tecmo super bowl, then I'm in.
Can't help you with Tecmo Bowl, but here's. Link to the call.
I'm down in NOLA, and watched the first three quarters. I told future b-i-l (from werewolf) that Walsh usually makes longer kicks but is shaky on the short ones like extra points. We turned it off after three quarters for in-laws' anniversary party, but hilarious nonetheless.
That's like blowing a save w/ 2 out nobody on and a 3 run lead, which I think I've done.
So, here I am in the San Diego airport, waiting for our connecting flight. The gate agent announces that the preceding flight at our gate is about to close and "Brian S___h" (my name with an added "h") needs to report immediately. I'm like "whaa?" And a guy walks by me saying "that's me!"
What are the odds?
There are 15 people in the U.S. with your name. 5 people with the name of the dude you mentioned. I haven't checked but I'm sure there are some more variations with Bryan and the like. I'm guessing more likely than winning the Powerball, but still pretty unlikely.
Oh, well played.
But you have to incorporate the odds of us being at the same gate for consecutive flights. I'ma thinking I got better odds on Powerball. I should go buy a ticket!
So should Seattle.
But also need to incorporate options that would have gotten the same response from you:
First names: Bryan, Ryan, Brianna, Briana, Bryanna, etc.
Last names: S___h, Sh___, Sh___h, Z___, Z___h, S__eh, etc.
Flight immediately before you, flight at about the same time as you in opposite concourse, gate next to yours, etc.
And now you know why I don't play Powerball.
Went up to St. Cloud with a college buddy for the hockey game last night and hit the Beaver Island Brewing tap room before and after. I had their heaviest and lightest offerings, Union Suit porter (8.9%) and Ripple German ale. Really good stuff. They sell in a lot of bars around St. Cloud and some in Duluth but they aren't in the Twin Cities yet. If you're in St. Cloud for any reason it's worth a stop.
Twayn, I met up with a mutual friend on Friday for dinner and a beer at my new digs.
Beaver Island- their tap room is located where Bo Diddley's used to have a location, and is where I first asked out my wife. I like many of their beers, although I have had a couple that didn't land in my wheelhouse. I might have to reach out to them this week to see if I can get a few kegs up here soon.

I don't care if it were the right thing to do for the roster, I never want the Twins to trade Plouffe.
thats pretty good!

Just one time. Not Plouffe's fault
God bless the interwebs.
Please someone tell me Perkins has seen this specific link. Or shared it himself.
I looked at his Twitter feed. Somebody tweeted that link to him already.
I am absolutely certain that Perk had this one in mind already when he tweeted.
The Wolves scored 13 points in the 3rd quarter.
thirteen.
Following the Wolves is way more frustrating than following the Vikings.
Sadly, I'm not sure if you emphasized this for negative or positive effect.
😆
