Loved the Macho Man. And the memes with Lord Alfred Hayes and Gene Okerlund on the mic are terrific. Mean Gene doing his "Now just a minute there, Randy Savage...".  ? ? ?

Are you thinking of organizing a group buy? If so, count me in.

The breezers are the best part. The jerseys look A+ as well. It the socks that are off. The socks should be solid white with maybe a thin stritp.

"Can we get a different actor?"

"Mr. Williams could you just read the line?"

FYI some is NSFW but it's brilliant!

I suppose... that was early enough that people hadn't realized yet that you didn't hire Robin Williams to adhere to a script.

To Robin, a script was more an outline than a listing of things that were meant to be said.

I did a search & Howard Storm had directed episodes of Mork & Mindy so any deviation should not have been a surprise to him!

Had a scammer call today who spoke extremely broken English. I said "How can I fall for your scam if I can't understand you?" He started talking very slowly saying "I   am   speaking    better    English    every   day,   and   becoming    better    scammer. '

I honestly just heard about the re-use warehouse a few days ago from a guy I know at LTD. He's getting a lot of stuff for his house that way. Sounds like a pretty cool place if you need some stuff.

Started back up at my side hustle at a local liquor store; we're not open yet, just doing the restocking of the shelves. Came across some Barefoot wine, co-worker asked, "Where does this go?" And I said, "Oh, that's Karen Wine, it goes on those shelves." Apparently we are using that term for that section in the future. 😀 Other wines of that nature include Yellowtail and Woodbridge, that sort of thing.

While many items here are no cheaper than they are in MN suck as groceries, gas, electronics, etc., anything involving labor is typically a steal. Just got a full tune-up and had one brake light replaced for $55. Gave the mechanic a nice tip on top of it and still feel like I made out like a bandit.

Watching the Gopher women game on B1G+, and wow it is great hearing a band play through an entire intermission. Not a note through a speaker for 15 minutes. Wonderful.

You can’t even go to a Vikings game without a UND cockroach fan wondering the concourse… lol!!!
I’ve been on at least one Gopher Hockey road trip every year since 1998-1999 and almost every time there’s a cockroach at the opposing arena and UND isn’t playing.
Their fan obsession with the Gophers is amusing.
It’s like the Washington State flag every Saturday on ESPN Game Day for college football. They send a WSU flag to an alum or fan to wave.
The Grand Forks Olive Garden must sponsor a fan to follow the Gophers for every road game… lol!!!

Oh honey, it’s all they’ve got.  They don’t have a professional football team.  Nor basketball, not baseball, not hockey.  Sad sad ND, one thing to pin all your hopes and dreams on.  If they didn’t wear the ding dang jersey to other sports no one would know they exist.  Let them live out their limited lives as you shake your head and repeat, there but for the grace of god.

Not necessarily a simple pleasure but...

About three months ago I badly tweaked my left shin while running and I used it as an excuse to get lazy with my exercise instead of finding an alternative method. 

3 weeks ago I finally got off my arse and started walking (about 4.5k) three days on, one off, three days on, etc.  A few days back I think I started developing plantar fascitis although I haven't had it professionally diagnosed.

I've ordered some proper shoes and inserts, but they're shipping from the U.S. and will take a bit to get here. 

I did not want to go backwards like I did the last time and so I started swimming in the 25m pool in our compound. Holy s**t it's so much more difficult. I'm struggling to do 50 laps which is about 1 1/4 miles.  But for now it's something.

I'm contemplating even buying a bike, but I would have to buy a rack because there are no roads around here that I want to chance biking on because drivers here suck.

Back when I used to run a lot for exercise I would revert to swimming when I would have foot injuries.  Plantar Fasciitis was my nemesis when I ran, usually because I was a hard foot striker and would wear my shoes past their prime.  Anyway, yeah I remember swimming kicking my arse but in the end it really helping my cardio.  I still work swimming into my workouts which still kick my arse but I do love it because it doesn't kill my joints in my feet and legs. 

I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!

Bought some really nice running shoes this spring. Went running once and got bursitis around my ankle from the shoes. Probably too tight. That derailed part of my soccer season combined with two knee injuries that haven't quite healed yet (also bursitis). 

Wanting to get a new pair, sounds like this year's edition are wider (nice!) than last year. We're also looking at just buying an elliptical since I have a bunch of rewards cash from work I can put towards it.

Ha welcome to getting old.  It seems something new breaks every other day for no reason.  I trained for a triathlon this summer and wouldn’t ya know the day before the race I get a pain in my right groin area.  I had to walk half the run portion but I did finish.  Pain never really subsided so next week I get to find out if I have a labrum tear.   I’ve been unable to play hockey the last couple months after a bad thumb sprain and even that rest hasn’t helped my hip.   Add on top of that a shoulder working on freezing up again.  I’m hardly even lifting anymore cause something always hurts.  I hate feeling broken.  Getting old sucks; and is getting expensive.  ?

Never underestimate a good pair of shoes. Especially important if you’re going to constantly train in them to keep track of the usage. I like to keep my running shoes as strictly only for running until they reach that 400ish mile mark. Then they become my walking shoes and I have a new pair of running shoes. 

The older I get, the more work I have to do to be ready to train again. I used to be able to finish a run, sit down for a bit to cool down, and be ready to go the next day. No I have to actually stretch and do some PT exercises or my ankles and Achilles will not survive. Even then I tend to get hurt. 

I too have tried using the pool as an alternative. My swimming is more like trying not to drown, so it’s a good workout. Just a miserable time doing it. I will shortly realize it’s a bad idea and go back to the bike or elliptical to train but with minimal impact.

@slap-shot 

Is your pool set up for running?  I run underwater at the local Y, there’s a dedicated lane for water jogging/running/PT work.  I love it.  More resistance but less impact.  Plus I despise sweating, always have…working out in water fits my needs.

I have been doing some jogging in place in addition to swimming laps as there's one end where the depth is just perfect for it. I first learned this technique when recovering from a torn achilles after FB season my senior year trying to get ready for track season, when I wasn't allowed to do any dry-land training until May.

My shoes were new and high quality so I am sure they were not the culprit with my feet. Since then I have worn them outside the house twice after never having once worn athletic shoes for any reason what wasn't sport since I was probably in grade school. I can't even being to describe how much I loathe doing so. I cannot wait for my inserts to arrive. ?

This is about the only social media group I can come to after a loss. Way too many clueless pitchfork and fire come out after the team loses. From “Fire Motzko” to you name it.

Though come March and April these same people will be the biggest Gopher Hockey jock sniffers around. They’ll join the list of creepers that the player smile to, but try to ignore and not cross paths with.

Though they’ll be back at their shenanigans if the Gophers don’t win the Nat’l Title.

If anyone says fire Motzko now, it means they've probably been kicked in the head by a horse at least once.  

That dude gets about five miles of runways to land the plane. Anyways, the super cool thing about Motzko is it will never come to that. He's going to be fine. Even if somehow he can't land it, he'd have the decency to step away way before the approach

Not technically a simple pleasure but...

Our youngest is a sophomore at UM. His gf that he met in h.s. here in the Philippines is also a sophomore, although she took this year's fall semester off from her college in Seoul to visit him in Minnesota.  Recently after ending that visit she flew to Los Angeles to see family before she heads back to Asia.

He got a ticket to LAX for $220 and is traveling there to see her for the Thanksgiving break. 3 friends of theirs from HS that are in college in San Diego, Tempe and Vegas are also going to meet them for a reunion. 

The gf will return here to Philippines in a few weeks.  We are flying both kids to Bangkok for 3 weeks during their Winter break on Christmas Eve, the gf will fly with me to Bangkok (my wife goes this weekend) and 1 of the aforementioned friends is also coming. 

When I was his age I thought I was adventurous crossing into Motomoros for a day when we went to South Padre on spring break.
