    Friday OT: To Nog or Not to Nog

    Norwegians do a lot of disgusting things. They also bury fish in the ground for up to three months, then uncover it and eat it like it's candy.

    Friday OT: To Nog or Not to Nog

    I forget what old-timey comedian said it, but he had a theory that there were only three fruitcakes ever made in the history of the world and they keep getting regifted every year because nobody eats fruitcakes. In my family, it was always a holiday tradition to serve Oyster stew, lutefisk and...

    Worst Movies Ever

    When it comes to bad movies, nothing can beat Master of Disguise. Absolute worst movie ever.

    Meanwhile at Kinnick… what in the hell?

    From the looks of it, it's incels protesting their condition.

    Friday OT Tell us about the 1st time

    My mom took me to see Hotel as a confirmation gift. I was 13. It may not sound like a big deal, but Hotel in its day was considered a raunchy movie and barely escaped an X rating because * gasp * it showed an unmarried (to each other anyway) couple sharing the same bed in a hotel room. I thought...

    Most Pompous POS?

    Finebaum, and it's not even close.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I intensely dislike Chris Atterbury as the radio play by play guy and he's the one taking over for Provis. I listen to the broadcasts more than I watch them on TV, because that's the way I grew up following the Twins, listening to Herb Carneal on the radio broadcasts. Still remember going to bed...

    All-Time Fave One-Hit-Wonder

    I've got the ultimate one-hit wonder and a great trivia question. It's the only song to ever be a one-hit wonder three different times in three different years, 1980, 1989 and 2019. "Into the Night" first came out in 1980 when it hit No. 11, and then when a deejay noted for playing oldies...

    ESPN Invitational - Would you complain/ask for a refund (or partial)?

    I'll give you a judge Judy-ism. You ate the steak. You have to pay for it. If you got the steak, took a bite, said, "I don't like this steak," and sent it back, then you don't have to pay for it. But you ate the steak. You stayed for all the games, ate the food, drank the drinks, then you've got...

    This video is the best

    Well, now that I've tried to find a video of him talking, he talks pretty normally. But the first time I heard him, he sounded just like Chris Griffin. Maybe he had a frog in his throat that day.

    This video is the best

    You ever heard Seonbuchner speak? First time I heard him, I thought he was playing us. He sounds just like Chris Griffin on Family Guy.

    Thanksgiving food sins thread

    I love me some pickled herring, as long as it's not in the cream sauce with the skin still on it. Don't know about the crackers though. I can sit there and eat a whole big jar of pickled herring right out of the jar with a fork.

    Biggest Dumpster Fire

    That doesn't really answer my question. We have a history of being in the top three nationally. True, that history is 30 years old, but it's a legitimate question.

    Biggest Dumpster Fire

    Has Dresser really turned things around? I'm asking. Seems to me like a No. 10 national ranking is not very much progress in year 7, considering the history of the program. I know this year looks promising ... so far ... but we really haven't hit the meat of the schedule yet.

    Most surprising road win

    Yeah, but we had no way of knowing that at the time. At the time, they had just beaten OU and were 5-2 on the year. Meanwhile, we were 3-4, losers of 4 in a row, and going nowhere. I just remember having to work on that particular Saturday and trying to keep up with the scoring online at work. I...

    Most surprising road win

    Slaughtering Texas Tech 41-7 in 2011 right after Tech had beaten OU 41-38 the week before.

    Friday OT - Computer Personality

    The MagicMouse can be a bit troublesome. Mine just quits working sometimes, and I have to fiddle with it to get it working again. This is a relatively new MagicMouse. My previous one quit working altogether. When I ordered this computer, I really didn't want a MagicMouse because of that...

    Friday OT - Computer Personality

    I've been a Mac user forever. It was difficult in the beginning because a lot of stuff, like videos and certain games, wasn't compatible with a Mac unless you downloaded different video players. It seems like I needed three or four different video players in those early days, but now that's not...
