if you dudes do not stock up on Coors Banquet I will be very disappointed in you all

If the cigarettes run out due to missing tax seals, my mother will be happy to go on a rampage, strangulatin' people.

the cashiers at mystic lake are gonna get carpal tunnel...

Ah, wait: you've just pointed out how my mother will be getting most of her smokes during this difficult period.

I'm still back on "I'm sorry, we can't process this because you gave us TOO MUCH MONEY; please start over"

Welp, I guess I know what needs to be done.

Guys, for what it's worth, the governor of Iowa's spokesdrone has said that Iowa has a plan for shutdown, much like Minnesota has

Unlike Minnesota, the plan is in our governor's head

at least you guys can go buy beer in Hudson

nice to see HSTNGS represent at the state level

man i dont really remember the polar bear, but that was an embers for quite a while and also i just ate some of their fabulous tacos yesterday for lunch which i will take over a polar bear any day of the week.

wsp also used to have the greatest mcdonaldland in the fucking world btw. you could take a tiny train to get up to it!

Three of them asked too late not to be paid.

riiiiiight

arrrgggh manager of four firkins (super awesome craft beer store in mn) just started talking about the likelihood that the millercoors thing will shut down distributors that make most of their money off of peddling that swill, thus keeping them from distroing all the craft stuff they also do

PANIC

oh god

okay this is ridiculous

http://www.startribune.com/politics/minnesotashutdown/125538818.html

our boy is holding it down!

sorry I know you guys are actually living through this but this is fascinating to me

just talked w myfriend who I played with in maps of norway, he got laid off cuz of the shutdown. Has a six month old. The state republicans are the biggest shitbags and I hope they die except that one dude who have the good speech about voting against the gay marriage amendment

If you guys start losing real services, you can feel free to drive one state south. We haven't shut down yet, and as of July 1 you can buy hard liquor everywhere, even convenience stores.

for those of us who really only just started following this, what does this mean (aside from Dayton being all "okay you big fucking babies, I gave some ground and now it's your turn")

isn't the operative word "yet"?

dan,

honestly i don't know the house are fucking psycho babies, i'm surprised they haven't taken a shit on capitol steps yet

I keep daring myself to go read a James Lileks column, but I find myself unwilling to accept.

oh boy

dayton caves on revenue through new taxes, agrees "reluctantly" to GOP proposal...

...with a few conditions:

1. forget about all the right-wing policy crap, and drop that stuff for the rest of the leg. year
2. drop the 15% across-the-board personnel cut in state workforce
3. $500 million bond

i bet they say no.

GOP will counteroffer with initiative to fund buying bus tickets for all homeless people in the state to leave for Colorado again.

Gov. Mark Dayton said Thursday morning that he is willing to accept Republicans' June 30 budget offer, which would close a $1.4 billion budget difference by delaying payment of school funds and borrowing against the state's tobacco settlement.

isn't that kind of like what pawlenty did?

^^^ yep, kickin' the problem down the road another year.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

He told me he has an ... interesting costume.

This has been a week full of surprises but none eclipse the idea of Don Shelby as Frank N. Furter.

ok i can't watch that youtube due to Circumstances but the idea of Don Shelby as Frank N. Furter is blowing my mind

You need to watch the video tout suite. My cousin (Cop Uncle's daughter; Cop Uncle and DS were good friends when she was little) is going to cack herself.

LOL, he's actually just going to be the Narrator, but that still means he's doing "The Time Warp."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is the main thing. Also, he looks as if he's put on about 20 pounds.

Cousin has responded! 'Mouth agape at Magic Man*!' She is also worried in a 'my childhood, destroyed' way about the pelvic thrusts required in the chorus.

*DS known as Magic Man because he used to keep little her entertained with magic tricks whenever he visited my uncle.

oh god i went to college with a guy in that

how can they have shelby wearing a cravat instead of a tie?

Shelby wears what Shelby wants

for a second I mixed up the Narrator with Dr Scott and was thinking "Shelby in FISHNETS???????"

oh god i went to college with a guy in that

Plz tell me it's Rocky.

i'm sure rocky went to college with somebody? but no

the guy in the frilly shirt who isn't don shelby

weather just got rilly real

how am I supposed to while away the afternoon on the Internet with the power out :(

my office has tinted windows so it looks even more armageddony

How's the Metrodome looking these days?

Like it just had its teeth whitened.

haha, just looked it up. Verrry inspiring.

http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/125494428.html

Especially when the exterior shots start about a minute in.

OMG shelby.

also can someone make a gif of that guy flexing his muscles and winking.

i met don shelby outside of a soul coughing in store at let it be. he seemed nice.

hey i thought up a joke:

i went to joe senser's the other day. the food was pretty good but afterwards i just felt run down.
