Hello from the land of Starbucks and Sir Mix-a-lot

**DrSwerve** · 03-04-2005, 12:44 PM

How's it going? Just posting a small bio. I'm 26 years old, single, & in the Navy. I'm a submariner & I've been doing this for nearly 8 years. I currently live in Bremerton WA, but I've lived in Minnesota (Norwood, Young America, Chaska, Excelsior, Circle Pines, Fridley, Coon Rapids, Cambridge, and Blaine), Florida (Orlando), South Carolina (Charleston), and New York (Saratoga Springs). I move back to Saratoga Springs NY next month.

I've been a Vikes fan my whole life. There have been several disappointments with this team throughout the years, but one thing never changes...they never fail to entertain us.

I was involved in an altercation with Chad Eaton (formerly of the Seahawks) a couple of years ago when the Vikes got whipped by the Seahawks out here in Seattle. After the game, me and some friends went over to an Irish Pub to have a few drinks. There was probaly about 50-60 Viking fans in that bar. We sat around singing various Minnesota sports songs. Well anyway, Chad Eaton was at that bar, and he walked up to me and started to talk some smack about Minny. So naturally, I turned around and let him know how I feel about the Pac NW (like how the fans drink starbucks and eat sushi at football games). Then he started saying things like "I'm Chad Eaton"...and blah blah blah. He then grabbed my Vikings hat off my head and took off running. That bastard ripped the horns of my hat! We didn't see him again that night, and obviously I was just a little more than pissed. The bartender apologized saying that Eaton normally wasn't like that...so he gave me $20 for the damage to the hat and gave a round of drinks to me and my friends. All in all, it turned out to be a pretty interesting night.
