In certain Northern Mid-Western climes, the citizens have become so mushily liberal that — in their overwhelming compassion –they have confined their hapless professional football teams to a regulated indoor environment.
As a result, no one in these left-leaning regions need suffer for their gridiron art in the fashion of Lombardi, Hornung, Robestelli, and other Hall of Fame stalwarts of the past. Come game time, both players and fans can loll about at room temperature, consuming multiple jumbo franks and 64 oz. Mountain Dews without fear of nippy nose or chilly tootsies.
Real tough guy stuff, no? You’ll find it no wonder, then, that these teams haven’t won a Superbowl in… well…
Forever.
I bring this up in order to levy well deserved shit to Chief Admin Jeremiah and his wussified, faggot-assed (not that there’s anything wrong with that) Minneapolis Metrodome Vikings.
I mean, if you are going to be pussified about going to see a game in the weather — despite your arguably holding a home field competitive advantage (see “Packers, Green Bay“) — then by all means build youself a cozy indoor stadium so you can spare yourself the chilblains on your vanilla layers of Midwest portly.
But do us all a favor, eh, Minnesota? Please get yourselves some architectural engineers that will factor in the possibility of snow accumulating on the roof, eh? You know, just in case it gets warm enough to do so every now and then?
Thanks so much. Your friends,
The N.Y. Giant Fans With Three Superbowl Trophies and, Not Coincidentally, an Open Air Stadium

It looks as if The Bernank (sic) and his antics will continue on, at least for the beginning of options week here. Like a good neighbor, I will be reducing my positions again, trimming here, trimming there and braiding the remains for a nice Christmas streudel rope to be given out to wassailers and other visiting Folk o’ the Yule.
I will probably get rid of the last remnants of my IAG calls, which have been less than satisfactory these last few weeks. I will likely retain the underlying stock, however, and only be trimming my outsize positions (ANV, SLW, EXK, GDX) to raise some cash for the new millenium, where the chief currency will be penny farthings made up of plastic doll’s buttons.
Again, this is not the long term strategy, and I will not be taking down my core, only my oversized accumulations, which have done so well since September especially. More tomorrow, if I can get out of my driveway.
Best to you all. And keep an eye on BIOS and ENTR. These old stalwarts seem to be making a move again, as do non metal Jacksonians ANDE , TCK and TC.
