Gberger forwarded this to me because, as a Vikings fan, he likes to mock Packers fans.
The video below from The Onion is meant to make fun of Packers fans, I think…but I take pride in it. Peanut butter and jelly. Packers and beer. Some things just go perfectly together. Enjoy:

I was following the liveblogging of the Apple event today, along with Gberger. Our reaction was generally the same: “Really? All this hype for this? How is this any different than an iPhone? Why is the f*cking border on this thing so f*cking big? And iPad is a feminine product, no?”
Very, very disappointing. Nothing [...]

1. Nancy Reagan

3. Queen Elizabeth II
4. William Ford, Sr.
5. Barbara Bush
6. Sumner Redstone
7. Amy Winehouse
8. Wilford Brimley

The weekend started out a little rough, with a 14 hour trip through snow and rain to Arkansas — and the loss in the Family Weight Loss Challenge — but it couldn’t have ended better:

Arm-wrestling Champ.
Won the family bowling outing (w/ a big 127).

I have a few friends from New Jersey. I have a few friends who went to school in New Jersey. I have a few friends currently living in New Jersey. I have a few Italian-American friends. I also have friends that go to the Jersey Shore on an annual basis. So….I have to be a [...]

Usually I try to refrain from posting things Gberger sends me, because he has his own blog. But I know we have different readers and I think everyone needs to see this, so I’ve decided to post it:

The best abstinence advice ever? Apparently front/normal hugs are inappropriate, and too likely to lead to baby-making, so [...]

I was just having a conversation with Gberger about our pick pool. In our weekly battle, he’s going to beat me by 1-3 points depending on how the two remaining games shake out. We determined that any win by 4 points or less is considered ‘domination.’ That led me to make the following observation:

The end of Week 9 in the NFL means that we are essentially half way through the regular season. All teams have now played 8 of their 16 games. The Giants and Texans have played 9. That means it is time for lots of mid-season updates. Here goes the first of many:

Competition is great. On whole, it’s what keeps our quality of life improving. Two of the greatest corporate competitors of this decade are, arguably, Google and Wal-Mart (or Wahl-Mart).
Some people think Wal-Mart is evil, but their business helped pay for large portion of my college education, so I have to be polite. Google’s creed is [...]

As most of you probably know, swine flu is everywhere. It’s pretty serious stuff already, and the peak flu season isn’t until February. It could be a rough winter for most.

Gberger sent me this funny/interesting/telling pic from his office this morning about how his group is tracking days they go without flu symptoms in the [...]
