00000000000000000000000000000000000000000001goldy.jpgWhat started out as a simple headline helping you honor the request of scagmajor to please, please, vote for Goldy Gopher in the semifinals of the mascot challenge turned into a vague, almost confusing reference to a rather inconsequential scene from “Back To The Future.” And for that, we apologize. But please, do vote away.

Also: Don S. would like you to know that Hockeytown USA is right here, SI says. Eat it, Detroit.

We have a RandBall T-shirt meeting tentatively scheduled for sometime this week. They would almost certainly not be ready for the Redactular, but we could at least perhaps show off some renderings at that point.

Um, yeah, we like golf.

Randball: Somewhere in between Best of the Worst and Worst of the Best.

Vote against Zippy while you’re at it, too.

Why is it that you grabbed a picture of the “The Real Goldy is Too Good to Show Up at Your Lousy Academic Event” Goldy, rather than the real Goldy? I’m not even sure that Goldy can spin his head.

Is that a thumb or an index finger?

I think he might be giving the other mascots the middle finger Stu.

That pic of Goldy looks kind of like the infamous Johnny Cash picture if you look at it in the right light.

You know, this one:

Toonces: you are going to have to let me know how you get lucrative corporate sponsorship for your internet commenting.

There was a blogmaster ..in Fla. I think..that had such a following (b.ttsniffrs) that he actually went commercial charging for entry (that came out wrong)…but what a gig..sit around in your underwear in front to a monitor, word vomit then pick up the entry fees. I think it’s a quasi political format. Do you think anyone hear would pay to get on my freewheeling sport format ? Sliding scale ?

meeting tentatively scheduled for sometime…

For a t-shirt?! Surprised the Strib ever got around to producing a website at that pace.

Hockeytown, yeays!
I’ll say this about Minnesota fans, they stick to their guns and refuse to be bamboozled by a redacty owner AND a redacty product. You can have one or the other in the Cold White North but not both.
