Ok vikesrule, here I am in the "we welcome you" section so that I can tell you about myself. I did grow up in a "Packer home" (in Appleton, WI) so I've been a fan ever since I can remember. But when I was in middle school, that is when I really started to follow and understand the game. I went to college in Minnesota and ironically ended up working at the Metrodome! So I am sure you can understand how my dad thought this was blasphemous! But it was a blast and I really enjoyed working for Vikings games, Twins games, monster truck rallies and other special events. And I was able to watch one game versus the Packers as well as scoring some Packers merchandise at cost so that was always a bonus. Now that I live out here in DC/Northern Virigina, I have to make much more of an effort to be a fan and see the games. I even have Packer pictures on my cubicle door at work so its amazing the random people that will stop by and say "oh you're a Packer fan!" and then find out they are from WI themselves or just like the Packers too. So its been a great "networking" tool for me as I start my career - who would have thought! Anyways, my husband is not much into sports but I converted him to a Packer/Favre fan (not that he really had a choice in the matter!) so at least we don't have to argue over what team we're watching on Sundays!

Nice intro.

Gonna give you a total waiver on the whole knowing and/or listening to Vikesrule aspect, as nobody's perfect.

I'm a Wisconsin guy that got demoted to the whole D.C. thing. Alexandria, most of the time. I feel that pain. As an expert drunkard, (wonder how long that one will take to gravitate into Nick's sig) I used to know all the hangouts for Packer fans there. The best by far was Mr. Day's place in D.C. --- unfortunately they shut down. The Damon's in Springfield had a crapload of Packer fans...I think they are still there...

Looking forward to reading some more of your stuff!

We live in Alexandria right now actually! I've just been going to a local bar around the corner because they play all the games, but we're usually one of only a handful of Packer fans. I don't mind that so much as the smoke - can't wait for VA to be smoke free too!

You are in luck. My Mr. Day's reference...closed down? Nope!

Moved to Arlington.

There will be hundreds of Packer fans there. Check this out!

AM 620 Behind enemy lines 

You gotta go. If it is 1/10th as good as the old Mr. Days, you will go into shock at how awesome this place is.

Hell, I might drive down there for this!

Sweet! We will have to check that place out for sure! Sounds like a blast - it would be nice to be around lots of Packer fans again, I've almost forgotten what that's like! Definitely appreciate the tip!

Welcome Packerette!

It so very good to see a fine young Minnesota educated girl around here. U of M?

Very interesting story about working your way through college at the Metrodome.
I'll bet that did frost your Dad's shorts!

Conversing with cheesehead guys is a true challenge.
But female Packer fans are a tolerable lot. Plus they are much more pleasing to the eye, and smell a whole heck of lot better.

One word of career advice....
Attempting to network by putting Packer pictures on your cubicle are a definite career destroyer.
It will completely negate that outstanding Minnesota education.
You might as well put up a sign that says:
1.) I have no rational thought processes.
2.) I follow the herd.
3.) I like to drink cheap beer
4.) And my family tree has no branches.

Bwaaahaaa! :onfloor:


Seriously, welcome. Post often

But be very wary of any advice offered by dfosterf.
He is one grumpy old cheesehead (not quite right in the head, if you know what I mean)!

Thank you for the warm reception ladies! I will do my best to represent! And vikesrule...aren't you in the wrong forum? 🙂 But you are here so that must mean Packer fans are better to socialize with than vikes fans! Can't argue with that logic, right? And yes, we are pleasing to look at and smell good 🙂 Flattery will get you everywhere...

You are quick of wit young cheesehead. The time that you spent in Minnesota did you well.
Your sense of humor will prove most valuable in the upcoming debacle that is destined to be the Packers 2009 season.

As why I am here....tis a long story.

Long ago in a land far, far way the mighty Thor came to me in a vision.

And Thor said "vikesrule, you are chosen among the the Purple faithful to venture forth. To venture forth and seek out the poor unfortunates of the world.
Those that are most woeful and misguided. I speak of none more sorrowful than.....than the cheeseheads"

I was trembling with dread at such a daunting task that might be in store for me.
And I said " Mighty Thor, what is it that you wish me to do when I encounter such miserable souls as the cheeseheads.

Thor replied "vikesrule you are to travel to lands of these poor wretches, and show them the light.
You shall enlighten them as to the great error of their ways. For they worship the demon cheese, and as such are destined to eternal perdition."

And so I began my pilgrimage, to pursue my ordained quest. While I have suffered many travails in my long journey, I shall not rest.

I shall not rest until I have accomplished the task of rescuing the poor cheeseheads and guide them to truth, justice, and righteous football fandom.

And so for several years, I have been searching for the "eternally lost".
And believe me, this place is a plethora of truly castaway souls.
