We all need a good laugh

When they consider renaming Sesame Street's Cookie Monster the veggie monster.... ?

Come on! Watching that blue fur ball for half my childhood didn't inspire me to eat one piece of sugary junk food. I didn't need inspiration. The wrath of mom or grandma was waiting if I got caught raiding the cookie jar.

Please tell me that isn't true about cookie monster. I hadn't heard that, and it shouldn't surprise me I guess, but it does depress me.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Yes. We should have one PC free weekend where pro, and college coaches, can speak freely.

That would be golden. Can you imagine Kirk dropping f-bombs on the fans for booing Greg Davis for instance.

Wait. We are Iowa nice. Did we even boo Greg Davis? Our bad.

Kind of the idea behind "The Purge" movies.

"If Vinny picks up his fucking feet he walks in."

Fenney, not Vinny. I remember this game. When I first started paying attention to football about 2 or 3 years before this, Alfred Anderson and Rick Fenney each had a TD for the Vikes in a game I watched at my uncles. Since that was my first exposure to watching football with the adult males in my family, it was a pretty impactful experience, and those two became my favorite players (until I understood more, then it was AC and Chris Doleman).

Perhaps the fact that my first favorite NFL players were fullbacks is what made it so easy to love the Hawks.

I see kids in the grocery store today eating cookies by the box before they're even paid for. Mother approved. Think anyone out there over the age of forty would have gotten away with THAT back in the day? We weren't allowed to takes our hands off the cart.

This made me chuckle. All of it so, so, dead on.

It's so bad now I dont even think it's a case of political correctness. Its devolved into something worse... basically the opposite of common sense and pragmatism.

Dead on.
PC has devolved into a cult.

If you don't agree with the PCers then you're ex-communicated from a "civilized" society or keeping your job with the cool kids or ....

Believe it or not, I've seen Burnsie a few times at Lifetime fitness in Eden Prairie...as recently as last Spring. 90 f***in years old and he's still in there workin' out. Can't f***in' beat that.

Thanks. That's great. I used to watch the Vikes some when I was a kid but that is going back to the "Purple People Eaters" era. And Fran was the "Man". Just not in the Super Bowls.

Ever been to one of Bud Grant's garage sales?

 

[Lumberman]

Basically, it's thought police nazism...or Thought Police Nazism

Bud Grant, who's also at or near 90, could be his fitness partner. Grant would be the one jogging down Hennepin Avenue in zero degree weather in his shirt sleeves.

I wonder what his dad thought about his cussing.

Favorite George Burns line.

"When my doctor was alive he would warn me all the time about the health dangers of smoking cigars."

Not sure but Red Auerbach may have a similar quote.

"His fucking shoe comes off. That's not Bob Schnelker's fault!"

We once counted them but at least 17 f-bombs I believe.

rofl. man, that shit was funny. i think the only sentence he uttered that was an actual complete sentence was his last sentence: "fuckers!"

 

[judzeehawk]

Wonder what he really thinks! That was Golden for sure.

We were gonna go last year...and as we got close the streets were so clogged we bailed (it was kinda rainy). It's crazy the people I bump into up here. I stood and talked with Alan Page and his wife a couple years ago in the bar area waiting for a table at a pizza restaurant. Couldn't have been a more chill guy...total class.
