OT: Friday night football humor/what are you drinking thread
It's Friday, and it's dark, cold, and grey outside, amongst other things. Figured the board could use a good laugh to brighten things up and kickstart the opening of our collective livers workweek. Michigan gets a nod, thankfully that's the only association we get with an article that hits oh-so-close to the mark.

I've got a 4 pack of Stella Artois and a 12 year old bottle of Dewars. Cheers!

Nice, I also started reading the blog in 2005 but didn't create an account until recently. I can distinctly remember becoming an mgoblog addict following the Manningham miracle against Penn St. Things have come a long way since then. I thought it was especially hilarious how everyone tried to comment "first" on content and also how different the posting system was.

Not drinking anything yet, but someone did just give me a pair of tickets to the game next Saturday, which I am extremely excited about!

Crap. Cleaned out the fridge in advance of the storm, and out of beer. Doh! Oh well.
A big tree fell in my driveway wiping out some smaller trees and branches from another tree. But, because we left there weren't any cars parked there, and everything missed the house. Got lucky on that one.
My daughter and I are headed for the NW game next week and had the choice of the Slippery Rock game or Michigan-MSU hockey. Which one would you guys go to? Does it matter that she's never seen the b-ball team live, but saw us lose to OSU at Yost last year?

Any Yoopers on this here thread? I know that it's most MSU territory up there, but you never know...
Was up there last week and got a variety pack of Keweenaw Brewing Co. I find it quite agreeable.

Had the same problem, albeit with a younger puppy ~3-4 months old. I put a rope with bells around the door handle and rang the thing everytime I took her out to. Eventually she learned to ring the bells when nature was calling and that was that.

Crating. Dogs like to have a den, it's natural for them, and they instinctively don't mess in their dens. You can regulate when they go by crating. Give them crate time (covered by a blanket) typically at night, and as soon as you take them out they'll be ready to go. Then they have no ammo left to defile the couch with.

And lots of other things to celebrate passing the bar this week

If you passed that means the person next to you failed.
Science.

November 2nd, 2012 at 9:03 PM ^
It's Central - Western weekend. You were supposed to start pregaming the game by now...
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
Oh don't worry this week has been one giant pregame already.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:53 PM ^
Watching the Celtics and sipping a West Coast IPA. I just went to the local craft beer store today, so I am stocked. The Celtics are getting killed, so I'll need it.
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
Up the ass of a Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA right now.

The only thing my 4 yr old and 6 yr old are in chage of is getting ice for my martini. What is this video you speak of?
November 3rd, 2012 at 2:24 AM ^
My little nephew does that too. I l<3ve that kid. I'm not even empty and he's bringing me a fresh one, from the freezer no less, and I never even ask him. Kids are so awesome sometimes.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
If anyone wants to watch MSU struggle (they're winning but still) against a D2 basketball team heres a link. Before the who cares, I would have watched it anyway just because I'm so excited to have college hoops back. Not solely Spartyfreude.

Dark Horse Kmita Kolsch
Honoring the quarter-Polish part of me tonight. Shout out to my Fedorovski relatives!
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
My brother-in-law's name is Nancy and won't drink beers that taste good, so he dropped a Kmita Kolsch on me that one of his buddies left in his fridge; it was fantastic.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Glass of Jameson and paperwork. Have to get up early to be at a computer training terribleness tomorrow so nothing exciting.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^

If the whale ale is half as good as their IPA then I need to try it.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
Just drinking some cheap wine, listening to Theophilus London, and watching Cal/Washington.

Got back from the new Half-Acre (chicago brewery) tasting room a bit ago. Now polishing off the SN Pale Ale in the fridge.
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
and my neighbors just left with snootfulls of Buffalo Trace. Nice M win in hockey, and damnded fine nice wife action in the kitchen.
It's great. To be. Aaaaaa....
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
"nice wife action in the kitchen"
Just trying to imagine what you might mean by that...
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
to paint an inaccurate picture.
3 really attractive wives (and their hubbies) in my kitchen, 2 of the women M grads, sipping wine, doing shots of apple pie, and feeling the weekend whilst looking scrumptious.
Nothing creepy meant. Other than I would like to bone each of them silly.
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
thank God in advance for gatorade and ibuprofen
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
fan-tastic.
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
Got a growler filled with Mitten Brewing's (brand new brewery in town) pumpkin ale. Prettay good.
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:07 AM ^
prettay?
November 3rd, 2012 at 12:03 AM ^
Had my first Founders Harvest Ale tonight. Very, very good, but pretty hard to find down here in the DC area.
Tomorrow, I will be cracking open a couple of Zombie Dusts thanks to a friend back in the Midwest who hooked me up. That beer is simply the truth.
