The joke’s on you, if you’re an old graybeard or just look like the Viking mascot of that type:
– And you thought the penalty for being tardy was bad in grade school. Longtime patron and former bartender Forrest played a joke on friend at the Village Inn in North Hudson, who has a reputation for being late and such things. An old picture was posted of him with a bee sting near his eye and a sunburn, among other maladies, and said he responds to being called “Dork.” It was surmised that this photo should be posted on a vodka bottle, not a milk carton. And so it was done, all over the Inn. Sorry to say it took much of a night for the victim of this practical joke to see he had been targeted.
– One of the bartenders in on that last joke was asked for whom the response was greater, the recent hands-to-the-face non-call involving Sam Bradford that cost the Vikings at least a tie, or an Aaron Rodgers touchdown. It seems the amount of noise for the two equates. The server responded with laughter, then said well you know the Packers do kinda suck this year …
– That same bartender in North Hudson, who is as sick of the cold as anyone, noted that her friend and colleague in the biz from across the street had closed a bit early on one of the first December frigid nights — the first time that’s happened since, say, the days of the Ice Bowl. Then just minutes before closing, the ‘tender in the third part of the triangle stopped in, just because. On the following weekend and Monday, as the an-manageable middle part of the month manifested itself, multiple Minnesotans made their way downtown sporting T-shirts and shorts.
– Speaking of over at Guv’s Place, they were “liked” a few weeks ago on their Facebook by none other than Adrienne Peterson. So that’s where he/she was been keeping his/herself during the most recent injury. (It should be noted that during the ACL-tear-trying-time, Guv’s was at its former location in Houlton, not in North Hudson).
