Hey, what's that song they're playing in Minnesota? Is that the team song? Sounds like a polka.

And regardless how the game turns out I have to doff my cap to AP. That guy is just insanely good!

Skol Vikings, let's win this game,
Skol Vikings, honor your name,
Go get that first down,
Then get a touchdown.
Rock 'em . . . Sock 'em
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Go Vikings, run up the score,
You'll hear us yell for more. . .
V-I-K-I-N-G-S
Skol, Vikings, let's go!

Heh, grats to the Vikes. That was an effing good football game regardless. AP man, holy shiznit that guys is effing incredible! All things considered, much as we all want our own teams to win I'm calling the Pats for the Superbowl atm. Honestly, they are just so monstrously good right now it's scary. Over the last several weeks watching them play they're just making all the hard stuff look easy - like, ridiculously so.

*squints.....rubs eyes* wtf.....little cloudy today....

You sir, can eat your HAT!

That was the BEST game I have ever been to. I have been to a LOT of the vikes games, and I don't think there has been a better game in the dome. wow. That last run by AP...if he would have broke that loose, he would have gotten the record. Walsh, rookie of the year. AP MVP.

/the NFL has hated the vikes for years. f those refs. f those refs in their stupid asses.

Forgot to mention I checked out one of those Tesla cars today - not buying one - but they are effing cool! The whole middle panel is a huge LED touch screen you control all the stuff in the car with. Super cool! If I had 70k+ I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Good looking car too, like a cross between a Maserti and Aston Martin. The guy said they're doing good sales on them too.

Parenthesis. Brackets have square corners, just like the real-world things you use to attach shelves to walls :) <- There. I closed your paren for you. Now we can only talk about Stan Lee's birthday, though...

I'm British, bracket is the right word. I appreciate your effort but it's not really the same, especially in a smiley. Everything is still bracketted to me, and will be until either Blue fixes this, or I happen upon an unmatched closing bracket. Woe is me. (Edit: Yay, thank you Blue!)

Happy birthday Mr. Lee, from the one person on Bluesnews who knows nothing about your work.

Bats, I love you man but you really need to lay off the drugs. You know, and I know, and everyone knows that Pack is going to CRUSH the Vikings today. CRUSH them!!!

And while I'm grateful to Stan Lee for all the things that Marvel has brought us I wish the guy would check his fucking ego and stop showing up in every cartoon and film there is. Granted at 90 that's unlikely to happen much more. And goddamit would kill Marvel to make a new Punisher film with Thomas Jane and I want see to see a feature length film or cartoon with Namor. And the Vision better be in the next Avengers because he was always my favorite!

No prizes for everybody! Fortunately, I have plenty since I acquired an imaginary warehouse filled with unawarded no prizes back in the 80's.
