Saturday Open Thread
Good Morning!
Only one more day until we get to watch the Vikings play in games that count, if you’re not excited you need to check your own pulse. I mentioned yesterday I was going to start doing a Saturday only weekend thread, there will be lots of from page articles leading up to the game and figured the usual thread would get buried. Meanwhile, let’s carry on with our news and links open thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and go ahead grab a beverage and start the tailgating early.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waiter, don’t tip the cows and Welcome Aboard!
