Minnesota Vikings News and Links, December 1st and 2nd, 2018

Good Morning!

I’m home late from work after midnight, so links and words up here no one reads might be shortened because I’m old and need my sleep. From skimming the front page it appears some good news can be found in the Vikings injury report so there’s that. While we’re waiting for the next Vikings game to start we’ll continue with our news and links full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Have another cup of coffee and drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and a virtual donut. With that let’s do this, Skol Vikings beat the Patriots.

We come to today’s media selection: U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-This isn’t a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, try the venison chili and as always, Welcome Aboard and Skol Vikings!
