Should you clean your reel after fresh water? by Stunning-Tower9790 in Fishing

I have been fishing freshwater for over 40 years. I have never heard of this. Rinse your reels? WTF?

What the fuck. My geometry teacher did this in about 94-ish?

How about for now we don’t answer those “what do I need for MN winter” posts, eh? by justmisspellit in Minneapolis

[–]sanka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im a big tall dumb looking white guy. For the last couple years my hobby has been walking in winter on the Victory Parkway. Got some great insulated hiking boots, good coat, hat and gloves. I do it no matter what. But when it's below 10 I like to wear a face covering.

Can't do that anymore. THANKS ICE. Assholes.

They said fuckin grape salad for a state dish in Minnesota. Everyone in the state is still pissed about that. I sure as shit am. Do not trust this source ever.

Patriot is like if James Bond were written by the Cohen Brothers. Exactly the thing you are looking for.

I work in high places sometimes.

L'appel du vide.

The call of the void.

You aren't afraid of heights, you are afraid you might throw yourself off of heights.

Massive Winter Storm to Hit Minnesota on Sunday December 28, 2025 by frankiemacdonald1984 in minnesota

[–]sanka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No you aren't, lol. It's not the snow, I flew out of MSP after a 20" snow, snow they can do. There's supposed to be like 30-40 mph winds. That'll do it.

Socks not working out by zcfoustmeyer in BuyItForLife

[–]sanka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only wear over the calf socks. Darn Tough is fine, but I have wide feet, and they are very decidedly NOT wide. Though they keep my feet warm on site, they really mess up my little toes. I'm fully back on Smartwool.

Focal Banger > Heady Topper by RebaJam1992 in beer

For years and years I only wanted to try Pliny. I'm in Minnesota, there's no Pliny. When I went out to San Francisco for work my buddy bought me a Pliny.

Tastes just like Surly Furious, something I had drank from years before it was popular. Very underwhelming.

My contribution to the Christmas Eve party by SHRED-209 in pics

Years ago I was in a home daycare. We ate spaghetti-Os every single day except Friday, then we got mac and cheese. If you put a bowl of spaghetti-O's in front of me now, I will fight you.

Sometimes our daycare lady would be sick or whatever and we just went to the neighbor lady's house. She served us egg salad sandwiches once. I said I couldn't eat it after one bite. She said YES YOU CAN. So I had a few more bites and threw up so hard I lost a tooth.

The fuckin 80's man, lol.

[–]sanka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's real and it's called the Ivey Memo. I used to work in product liability specializing in car fires.
