Dirkes for Presidentby:avonlakers 01 Jul 2010 20:09:07 A vote for Dirkes is a vote for progress! Scott Dirkes, former punter at SCSU, is apparently running for Sheriff in Todd County. Now Scott isn't even living in Todd county much less in the law enforcement line of work but we certainly wish him the best! Sign spotted by Wimm near West [...]
Freeport Tournament – [Updated]by:avonlakers 18 May 2010 15:04:01 Tournament Bracket EDIT: This has been updated to reflect the changes. EDIT: Apparently Avon's manliness scared the Milaca squad away. North Saint Paul Roosters have stepped up to take their place. Unfortunately, this jumbled the brackets a bit and we will take on our old friends the Upsala Blue Jays Friday night @ 6:30pm. This [...]
What Laker fans dream of...by:GreenBean 10 Mar 2010 16:48:38 A friend of mine, we'll call him Ted, IM'd me today and said, “I have to tell you about my dream last night. You were in it. Don’t worry, work safe content”. I was still a little apprehensive to hear this dream but knew I'd get a good chuckle. Ted's dream: I was watching one [...]

New Year resolutions 2.0by:brandonoverman 08 Feb 2010 04:40:00 We've made it through the first week of February. In Minneapolis, that is saying something, considering that January is the coldest month of the year. Although you may have made it through the first month of the year there is a good chance that your New Year's resolution didn't. Don't worry, you aren't alone, but that's no reason to give up on the rest of the year. If you are like many Minnesotans, and people in general, exercise was more than likely on your list this year (and every other year, for that matter). Don't let the cold...
The Vikings and your familyby:brandonoverman 25 Jan 2010 04:57:00 Well, they've done it again. Deep down, we all knew how the story would end, but the pain (actually, frustration is still there). For those of us who have never experienced a Viking Superbowl (maybe that's for the best, actually) it just doesn't feel like the team will ever make the big game. The Superbowl has seemed like something that we will never experience. As I mourn yet another lost Viking season, I have realized that I need to take on a different approach to the way that I deal with this loss, because this year, I was watching the season...

The way stop this trend is easier than we all may think. One way to stop the growth of our ever-expanding waist sizes is by exploring topic of kids and exercise. Step One: We have to stop using the word exercise with our children.
Exercise is defined as, “the activity of exerting your muscles in various ways to keep fit.” For many people however, it could be defined as follows; “an act of torture, something that I do half-heartedly...
Merry Christmas...that's right, I said itby:brandonoverman 23 Dec 2009 13:52:00 I bid you no harm. Although my greeting may seem akin to an attempt at brain washing to some, my greeting is only intended to say, “Hello” and offer my greetings for you to have a great day…or month, since Christmas celebrations have grown exponentially, especially recently. I know that everyone has had to make the difficult moral decision of whether or not to greet someone at the office or while shopping and not knowing whether to say “Merry Christmas”, which just feels right, or taking a step back from your Yuletide bliss with a less controversial greeting,...
Keeping up with the clutterby:brandonoverman 08 Nov 2009 18:05:00 You’ve tried and you’ve most likely failed. Its okay, you’re not alone. Every parent has the great ambition to keep their house clean and organized and every parent sees their plans thrown out the window when their little angel starts playing in the living room…and the bedroom…and the kitchen… Although it’s very difficult to stay on top of the constant clutter in your living room as your little one goes from her books, to her blocks to destroying the newspaper, one area that you can control is your storage space…as long as you are able to...
