OK More specifically I have **Paul Bunyan’s AXE** to grind and you don’t!!! BWAHAHAHAHA Care for a little SDMB wager on the outcome of this weekend’s game? Hey we have both lost to Northwestern so playing for pride is out the window. \*\* IT’S ALL ABOUT THE AXE AT THIS POINT!!! \*\* ---

Wow… Vikings lose to Tampa and the Gophers lose to Northwestern and you can’t scare up a Minnesotan? (taps fingers and waits patiently while sharpening Axe and shining Lombardi Trophies) ---

Yeah, yeah, yeah…I’ve been in Tampa with my son. We had a great time at Busch Gardens, deep sea fishing, water parks, the Tampa Aquarium, and general screwing off. And what do I find upon my return? Some cheeseheaded challenge from a buggered Badger. Hell, yeah, I’ll take a bet on the Axe returning to it’s rightful home. What’s it gonna be? Lefse versus cheese? Lutefisk versus beer? What’s your fancy? ---

**sled** , I’d jump into this little wager you’re making, but in all honesty I’m still picking the crow out of my teeth from last Sunday ☹ ---

That’s right…. I forgot you were out of town. Other than the events of Sunday afternoon I hope you had a good time in the Tampa area. Lutefisk for beer my ass!!! Lutefisk for Wisconsin River Mud maybe… Seriously…you actually eat that… that…stuff? We have Beer, cheese, beer-cheese soup, brats. What are you guys famous for? The Minnesota Pickle??? I’ll have some fresh venison sausage in about 2 weeks if that would interest you. Otherwise…we could just do the loser spending a week sucking up to the inherent greatness of the winner’s team in posts on the Message Board. **This Axe is my Axe It is not your Axe You can not have it And surely can’t win it This Axe was made for Wisconsin** ---

Hmmm…isn’t there a Vikings-Packers game this weekend as well? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gazoo \* > \*\*Hmmm…isn’t there a Vikings-Packers game this weekend as well? \*\* Pot stirrer… And for the record there is no **Packer** -Viking game this weekend. (You had your order mixed up and I’m not talking alphabetically) Now on **Monday** , while the Gophers are still licking their wounds there is a Packer game in that Marshmallow looking Humpty Dome. I’ll extend a secondary wager on that one. Blind Faith shall deliver me.(quick somebody call Eric Clapton) ---

So the Gopher fans are forfeiting??? WOOHOOOO Look at my nice shiny Axe… I know you guys raise a lot of chickens there but come’on!!! ---

Very well. The loser shall spend the next week, posting at least once daily, extolling the virtues of Minne…uh, I mean, the winner. Better break out your Thesaurus and rhyming dictionary, Sledski. So let it be written. So let it be done. ---

OK done. Now this is riding on the Axe game correct? You must be busy catching up at work I never thought it would take that much taunting to get this done. ---

_sigh_ Should’ve bet on the hockey game. The Gophers shut out WI 4-0. Oh well, a bet’s a bet. I’m off to create a particularly unpleasant (to me) thread. ---
