Non-football related stuff that really makes your day

CVGT is correct on the Nancy Skinner clip. You'll never hear someone from Detroit talk like that.

My wife accepted a new position behind enemy lines. When next season starts I will not be butting heads with Bear fans, but with those morons that cheer for the Vikings. We have been in the flatlands of Illinois for about eight years now, but all of our family live in Minnesota. So now instead of being six hours away from family, now we will be about 40 minutes from them.

It will be good to be home, even if I have to deal with all of that purple and gold.

Go Lions!!

Grats to your wife, Islair! At least if you go to the Vikings home game vs. the Lions, you can be entertained by AP running all over the Lions' defense.

[DanO]

You were already behind enemy lines, Islair. You just changed positions.

Congrats my friend.

My daughter learned to ride her bike without training wheels last night. Proud but feeling a little sentimental, too, to see that my baby girl isn't a baby anymore.

You will feel the exact same sentiment when she goes to the prom graduates from high school, when she graduates college, when she first moves out on her own, when she marries, when she has her first child Kay.
I remember my mom waxing sentimental about such things 50 years ago after she listened to a song performed by Mike Douglas...the lyrics of which are.......

The men in my little girl's life
The men in my little girl's life

It seems like only yesterday
When I heard my little girl say
Daddy, there's a boy ouside, his name is Rod
He wants to play in our backyard
Can he daddy
Can he daddy
Oh, please daddy

Is it really so long ago
She'd come to me and wanna know
Dad, there's a boy outside, his name is Lee
He wants to carry my books for me
Can he daddy
Is it alright, dad
He's got freckles, dad

The men in my little girl's life
The men in my little girl's life

Then came pony tails and jeans
And my little girl was in her teens
Popsie, there's a boy outside
His name is Tom
He wants to take me to the prom
OK, popsie
He's cute, popsie
We'll be home early, popsie

Before I knew it time had flown
And how my little girl had grown
Now it was, Father, there's a boy outside
His name is Eddie
He wants to know if we can go steady
Can we, father
Yes, father
Oh, can we borrow the car, pop

Yes it seems only yesterday
I heard my lovely daughter say
Dad, there's a boy outside
His name is Jim
He asked me if I'd marry him
I said yes, Dad
Got something in your eye, Dad
I love him, dad

The men in my little girl's life
The men in my little girl's life

A child, an adolescent, a young lady, a wife
And oh, yes
There's another man in my little girl's life
Hi dad, there's a boy outside
His name is Tim
I told him Grampa was gonna babysit him
Thanks, dad
Bless you, dad
Good night, dad

The men in my little girl's life
The men in my little girl's life

The fishin' is better in Minnesota.

[The Cat]

How did I know you would know this Sharkie....another of the forum's finer outdoorsmen.

[Sharkbait]

Thanks Cat, only fishin' in Canada is finer.

Here is an oil painting my daughter recently. She said to pardon the ugly green blanket it's on as it dries. I know some of you are aware of her talent as you purchased items she had made for my cancer benefit.

[Malto Marko]

That is awesome!

[Islair]

That is incredible. I always admired artists that could line up 3 panels at once and get everything to line up right.

[bimmer84]

That is awesome!
