What does 'SKOL' Mean?

 I’ll rip out your eyes and pi$$ on your brain.

Good story. Quite entertaining and cool to think about.

But I guarantee you just pulled this out of your ass. If you didn’t, can we see a link showing us where you got that information?

after Favre destroys the Packers 4 consecutive times.

Thanks Ted,

SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

about the technicalities of the post. It’s bad-ass, enjoy it!

First, you might start getting down on me because I am a Packers fan. Okay, that is fine. I do not have anything against Vikings fans. I may not want your team to win the superbowl. That’s only because I want the Packers to win. There is a rivalry here and I understand that. Yet we are all fans and I respect that. If you want to trash me, go ahead. It’s your place. I’m just visiting. I am not exactly crazy about the cheesehead stuff. At least it isn’t violent.

Here is something you wrote near the end of your blog:

“…I like this side of the story a lot better, because it’s totally badass.

“May we always drink from the skulls of our enemies!”"

At another point you wrote:

“These days, it just is a way to urge each other on to victory in an American football game, but if you piss us off too much, we’ll put Packer Nation’s head on a pole, parade it around, and then drink some Grain Belt from it, so keep one eye open bitches, because the Vikings can go medieval on you in a freakin’ heartbeat.”

Do you really like to think that way? This is as bad as when some Packers fans wanted Favre to get injured or killed, (KILLED)! It is the same for when any supposed fan wants a player injured. That is when people need to take a break from watching sports. I thought this was just a game. I know you are trying to be funny. This is all humor. Yet the world is filled with violence. I know the sport of football is violent. Yet let us not try to attach threats of murder (even in jest) to relaxing and watching our favorite team making a nice tackle.

As for whether or not drinking out of skulls is true, it probably was not. Why do I think this? Much of Viking history was distorted by christian views, which were biased. They exaggerated their barbarism and pagan ways. Obviously, vikings did expand and fight. Christian scholars demonized them, but perhaps unfairly so. Fortunately, history has set some things straight. The vikings had a rich culture and religion as most of us are probably aware of today (but they most likely did not wear horned helmets). Back to the skull-drinking thing…it can be traced back to a guy named Ole Worm. He wrote about drinking out of skulls. But there is no historical evidence that it happened with the vikings. It did happen with other people. But this is already a long post.

Okay, I am done. I’ll stop bothering you. I hope Favre throws 50+ TDs (I’ll always admire his spirit and tenacity). Everyone else hates me because I like Favre. lol

That have felt the need to send Ted negative e-mails about this story, feel free to back the hell off. It was meant to be humorous, and it is.

It’s a post on a blog, for crying out loud. Settle down.

I know that was clueless to what it meant. You guys helped me out on this about a month ago.
That story is so freaking cool.

Would’ve responded earlier, but I was at work.

Not all of you need to lighten up, just those of you with a stick up your ass. This was meant to be a fun, tongue-in-cheek story to help kill the time between now and the start of training camp. The emails I have received over what was supposed to be a piece of SATIRE astounds me to how wussified some people have become. It makes this thread look like Duckies and Bunnies. And I really do appreciate the concerns expressed in the thread; they were pretty reasonable, level headed responses to some concerns folks had, like starmark. Especially compared to some emails. Jeebus.

Dude, it’s all in fun.

News flash: It’s…the…Internet. Sometimes, on the Internet, we type bad words. Like…close your eyes if you’re offended by bad words…like shit, piss, and badass. Sometimes, we type about bad things…even if they are metaphorical.

Calm the hell down, folks.

Thank you for wishing us good health, Vikings fans! It worked for us last year.

And for those in the Norse Division and elsewhere, it’s our fight song and our hail to those in Purple to score score score. Enjoy the link courtesy of Vikings.com

…so its not chewing tobacco?? ;-)

I might add that 28 was not enough pts. You was a little short , thats why we didn’t see ya in the SB. You know you really came out of the Saints game lucky. You caught the Saints after they lit up the lights on the Cardinals and that other hall of famer (Kurt Warner). You caught Brees on a flat night where he was not really lighting up the score board.From what I seen of your offense (fumbles@ interception) you was lucky the Saints was not in regular form that night. From what I seen of your defense , (no pressure) and running around lost , I think they was lucky too. Brees can light up a score board on much better teams then you have there. Thats why right now he is the # 1 QB in the NFL , Saints offense has been # 1 for about 4 years and running. Saints defense is a # 2 in the NFL in takeaways and it really showed in the game against you. When you turn the ball over as much as you did against great teams like the Saints , Patroits , Colts , you will be fortunate to only loose by 3 points. You have bigger problems there in Minnesota right now than being in here whinning over spilt milk. Last year is history , you need to worry about this year. You have a coach that Favre can’t stand , you have a QB that is on his last leg and no real replacement for him when he goes out whinning again (or retires) when you least expect it. What if he comes back next year and plays for (Chicago) ?? You know he might or could , remember he has hated the Vikings through most of his playing time (75 years). You have running backs that need coaching , they don’t show up for you or they turn the ball over to much when they do. You have a defense that may be slightly better then average. They really put (no fear) in the Saints team at all ? Remember , Favre is only playing for you because he is trying to prove to the Packers that he can still play , after they got tired of his crazy lazy way of retiring and returning and retiring and returning and on and on and on. You have a team that is always threating to move to LA. Most people don’t know how that coach you have even got a chance to coach . Read the book that Sean Payton just put out (Home Team ), in it you will find a statement that Favre said about (Chilly) meaning , your coach. AND LASTLY , move on from the Saints/Vikings game from last year , we have the ring and you STILL set there with NO rings in your history. Other words you have NOTHING to be in here bragging about. Don’t cry and whine about how tuff and ruff the Saints played your little team.Think back to the days when the PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS use to hit people and try to retire them and put cheap shots on everybody as well. Think back to last year when the Viking/Dallas game was almost over (few seconds left) but your hero went back and threw that final end zone touchdown pass just to pad his stats. He has so much class. (not) Remember this too…the Saints really put his PANTS ON THE GROUND , and he is home pouting right now……LMAO…WHO DAT TWO DAT-DREW DAT
