    Can't remember if it was 06 or 07 but we went one and done. If not for the fumbled interception, we would have faced the Colts and we owned Mannings Colts. Could have beaten the Bears with our high powered offense.

    Yeah I think it was in 06' when they were one and done versus the Patriots. 07' was when they beat the Titans and then the Colts and lost again to the goddamn Patriots!! What I hate the most is losing in 08' to the Steelers.. I think it was the 3rd quarter when the Chargers had the ball for literally one play the entire quarter and the Steelers had possession the rest of that quarter. Completely changed the game and they went on to win it all.

    Would be nice to see them come out of nowhere and win it all this year but who knows. We'll see how they do on MNF :thumbsup:

    They need a better defense and O-line.

    Rivers gets killed out there. He has a cannon, but has to throw it away most of the time because the o-line sucked.

    A laker is similar to a vikinger.
    A laker is what you are, a viking is what you do.
    Vikings as we know them from the norse lands are descendants of black sea Pirates who went up river and created fiefdoms wherever they could control a piece of the water.
    A loch/lake is a place that has a portal like connection to "the deep" where the dead are locked away under the ocean that is under the earth.
    These are the myths behind the Los Angeles Lakers.
    The lake is the most powerful motif in non bible based religion.
    It is always a gateway to the 'mother' which is another word for the manifold chaotic powers of nature.
    This is not just big in the european countries but its also huge in mexico and south america, im sure all over the world too.
    The Lakers are people who lived around and lived off lakes, bogs, moors, bays, pools, seas, ports, etc...
    The great lakes region was contacted by Lakers who sailed the great lakes of the world to get to the great lakes of america.
    Then later came the Bruin hunters from france look to take rare furs back home for big money.
    But the first people to come hang out with the indians were the Lakers going a Viking and sailing on their Yankee Clippers.
    Lakers are the first americans that werent brown.
    But who knows maybe Eric the Red had a really red neck.

    I was a Laker fan when Elgin Baylor was the most incredible Bball player I ever witnessed. They were then from Minneapolis, which means "land of many lakes" in some native American dialect, probably Algonquian.
    I love Rube's Norse dissatation, but I don't know if it's all quite that complicated.
    Hail Ragnar!

    Isn't Minnesota "Land of 10,000 Lakes"? Pretty sure that's where the name came from...

    ten thousand lakes = too many lakes to count = many lakes
    but thats not the real name, its a nickname for the place
    the place name for minnesota plays on how the lake water rises and becomes milky white clouds in the sky only to fall down in waves and become a lake once again
    the indians or maybe vikings or their chinook descendants probably took that as a type of meaning that described the thought process of a human
    with the cloudy aspect of water being the ability for humans to store our 'water' up in our nebulous minds.
    hence the term minne which is related to the norse word for memory/mind.
    a secret storage place for your water where only you can access it and can freely dispense it out to those thirsty enough to know where to look for water
    but i hear a good arabian wild ass is good for finding water, but thats water locked into the rock not water locked up in the cloud.
    either way the folks up in the north are well versed with having to break up water locked in another form, its how you fish in the winter.
    you must use your weapon and break a hole through the frozen heart of the lake and then you proceed to use your bait and angle a bit until you get a bite of that soft salmonic underbelly.
    but we dont have to go that far to know what the word minne means
    its a mine that is of mine own making every time i place mine memories in mine own minne
    thats what the indians mean since they never forget the meanings of the terms while we just like to repeat them and say 'never forget' as soon as we begin to forget.
    indians dont say never forget, but then they remind you and you no longer have time to reminisce on what you no longer have because you failed to store water before the drought.
    it is the indian who remembers where all the bodies of water are buried.

    i watched that show a couple of times
    its got everything i like in spades, the guy they got for ragnar did a great job, loki too
    but i cant sit and watch tv like before, my tailbone hurts when i sit for long periods
    besides im out crouching in the tall grasses and looking out over hills while i stare down into town with my dogs to my side as we chill till the next episode
    but the actors put on a good show thats for sure.
    still, all the worlds are stages so why not take the scenic route?

    before someone says that a lake is not a mine i suggest you throw a penny in a pond, or a sword in a lake, or a treasure ship in the sea
    sure a penny is just a cent but a cent is a hundred and a penny of copper today may have been made of silver or gold back in the day
    and ancient swords are worth way more than their weight in gold as an ancient sword can recreate a fallen nation if that sword can be restored
    privateer or pirate, ship captains always followed the freeways of ocean currents and parked in the same coves and ports to put their parts in their caves in order to turn their goods into future prosperity.
    like putting clay and hay in an oven and getting back a brick outta that mud
    it aint gold but its some sort of alchemy at work
    and gold is in the eye of the beholder
    and when you put a bun in the oven outta the cave pure gold will someday walk out

    There is a well known theory, that the Vikings sailed down the ST Lawrence and landed/.stopped at the extreme northern Missouri (US land mass) settled there and intermingled with the Mandan Indians indigenous to that area. It was lent some creedence, when in 1803 Lewis and Clark) and a little later (George Catlin, artist) expeditions came across many Mandans with blue/grey eyes, and light brown hair, definitle not a NA aboriginal physical trait.
    Plus some shields and axes, very unIndian artifacts also.
