Tuesday Open Thread: April 17th, 2018

Good Morning!

Gone Fishin is traveling for work so you get me again for the fifth consecutive day. I’m not a Monday person like GF is but I hope your Monday was great. We’re finally getting closer to the draft, and the Vikings have reported to their new facility for offseason workouts. Shoutout to Ted for helping me find the poll option, thanks Ted!

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 and tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, try the venison chili and as always, Welcome Aboard and Skol Vikings!
