Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
Happy birthday yesterday to Vikings WR Stefon Diggs! We have to wait a day longer than usual to watch our beloved Vikings, I’m going to go out on a limb now and predict a win by the Vikings in Seattle. If I’m right you’ll never here the end of it, if I’m wrong we will never speak of this prediction again. 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 enjoy the weekend, you have to go back to work on Monday.

We come to today’s media selection: Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
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, have another leftover turkey sandwich and Welcome Aboard!
