You won our bet. The Green Bay Packers beat the Vikings. …in the Metrodome. …for the 2nd time this year. …in a game the Vikings really needed to win. So, my sig line is yours for a week. Have at it. By the way…you’re gonna have to be _real_ creative to come up with something to say about the Vikings that I haven’t already thought of. ---

One guy said he was going to piss him off so he walked over to the Packer fan and tapped him on the shoulder. “Hey, I hear your Brett Favre is a drunk.” “Oh really, hmm, didn’t know that.” Puzzled, the Vikes fan walked back to his buddies. “I told him Brett Favre is a drunk and he didn’t care!” “You just don’t know how to set him off, watch and learn.” The second man walked over and tapped the guy on the shoulder. “I hear your Brett Favre is a drunk and a crybaby!” “Oh, wow, I didn’t know that, thank you.” Shocked beyond belief, the man went back to his buddies. “You’re right. He is unshakable!” The third Vikes fan said “No, no, no, I will really piss him off, you just watch.” The Minnesotan walked over to the Packer guy, tapped him on the shoulder and said… “I hear your Brett Favre is from Minnesota!” “Yeah, that’s what your buddies were trying to tell me.” ---

**Rysdad** , I’ll e-mail him and see if we can get him out here. I’m surprised he didn’t jump on from home right after the game though! Once again in the Packer/Viking game I got the best of both worlds. The Packers win, thereby making the game next week another big one for the Vikings so they can’t rest Culpepper and Smith, and Culpepper scored me a ton of fantasy football points. Cha-ching!! ---

Sniff, sniff… I love the smell of napalm in the morning!! 🆒 Ah, the spoils of war. Gracious of you Rysdad to seek out your sig line. I am not feeling overly creative this week so I hope this passes muster with the Wisconsin contingent. Rysdad’s new sig line: \*\*As a Viking fan I now realize that Drew Pearson did not push off and that the Falcons were the better team. (Not to mention the Steelers, Chiefs, Dolphins and Raiders.) There is no vast conspiracy by the NFL to prevent us from winning the Lombardi Trophy. These have all been excuses trying to explain the Vikings need for a team Heimlich. We need to suck it up, quit whining and begin to follow in the footsteps of one of Footballs greatest organizations and our idols _The Green Bay Packers_. Oh, and Cris Carter will you _PLEASE_ stop flapping your arms like a bird every time you don’t catch the ball. \*\* ---

My next thread will be titled: Prozac Overdose, or why Rysdad isn’t going to post for a week. Not really. 🙂 With a stoicism born of many previous disappointments, I hereby display my new sig. ---

Hey, I cut and pasted! Don’t blame me if the bolding, italicising and underlining didn’t come out right! ---
