I was informed that I am supposed to introduce myself properly. Well, I'm from central Pennsylvania and have been a Vikings fan my entire life. People often ask me why I am a Vikings fan since I've never lived Minnesota and don't have any family in/from Minnesota. I tell them that it was just love at first sight, I don't know if it was the fact that these men are so masculine that they are not afraid to wear purple or if it's because I'm part Norwegian and I'm proud of my Viking heritage, maybe a little of both and a lot of other reasons! Haha, really, my dad is a Vikings fan and has been since they joined the league. I visited Minneapolis once and it remains my favorite U.S. city. I'd move there if it wasn't so darn cold in the winter! Ok, so what else...my brother, Ltrey is a member of the site so he got me to join. I've already been tailgating with a few of the members and I wish I would've taken cajunvike up on that offer to try the world-reknowned gumbo! Who knows when I'll have another chance! Other quick facts...I'm a first-year medical student. I proudly wear my Helga hat on game days and study in front of the games. Other than football, I'm a tennis player and fan. I'm also into politics, because it is a necessary evil in a lot of ways. Well, that oughta do it for now. I look forward to talking to my fellow Vikes fans! :usa2:

I now know why you didn't pick LAW SCHOOL! :razz:

Just teasing...where are you studying medicine?

You forgot to ask Ultra for your FREE BEER...or is it FREE ROOT BEER??? :lol:

**FedjeViking** · 02-09-2006, 01:01 AM

Really Caj! First year medicine? It's beer!

Hey Deanie! I live in South central PA. Never been to MN, and a Vikes fan since 1967! My grandfather was born in Norway. We have a lot in common except our ages! :lol:

Where you live?
Hasn't it been terrible around here lately in Steeler country? I go to Juniata, I guess you go to Penn State?

About the Helga hat, did some dork Ravens fan give it to you at the Christmas game? :lol: Joking! Cajun and singer will fill you in on that story! :lol:

Glad your here--Skoal!

**singersp** · 02-09-2006, 01:06 AM

Welcome Deanie!

Hang on tight to your Helga hat! Many of the Ravens fans are jealous that they don't have one & they'll snatch it right off your head!

And in case Ltrey didn't tell you, I'm one on the nicest guys on this site you'll ever want to meet!

NOT necessarily, Fedje...she could be a child prodigy...I actually went to law school with a girl that couldn't legally drink until her second year of law school...she had started college at 16, finished at 19, then started law school and didn't turn 21 until her second year! Never ASSUME...you know why! :lol:
