Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
Hope you have a weekend planned full of fun, last minute Christmas shopping and fulfilling the honey do list so the Monday Night Game has your full attention. Since there are three games Saturday night (one of which has playoff seeding implications for the Vikings) I’d assume there will be a game thread for the games. I’m taking mrs_rob out for dinner, but I’ll check and make sure one is available before we go (got a gift card for a Christmas gift). I don’t know who needs to read this, but no politics. I deleted a bunch of it yesterday, next I’ll delete the comments and the offender. Dead serious about this, I won’t have it on any thread I post at the DailyNorseman. 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 it’s the weekend, have a good time.

We come to today’s media selection:

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 eat the yellow snow or cheese and Welcome Aboard!
