GOPHERBAIT? Ooh . . . so intimidating! That's funny! What the hell do gopher's eat anyway?

That's a great question, FemaleTiger!
According to Wikipedia, "They eat shrubs and other vegetation." ( LINK) Also...
Other interesting facts:
* GOPHER protocol, developed in 1991 at the University of Minnesota, was a very commonly used protocol on the Internet until about 1994. In fact, there were still some computer terminals at the Frey Computing Services Center at LSU that used the GOPHER protocol into the late 90's.
* Gopher wood, of unclear meaning, is mentioned in the Bible as the building material for Noah's ark.
* A "gopher ball" is one of many nicknames for a home run in baseball.

... North American entertainment culture and non-technical literature tends to anthropomorphize gopher characters as "non-threatening".
Gophers will create a large community of tunnels with large mounds of dirt at their entrances, frequently referred to as "towns". Adult gophers will frequently stand watch at the entrance to a tunnel and whistle when predators are spotted, causing all the other gophers to run for the safety of the tunnels.

So gophers are known for whistling and running. Yep, that's real intimidating.

Why are some people so stupid to start a thread like this on here? You know you're gonna get hammered. I'm grew up in Minnesota and I feel like giving you shite, but you'll find out the hard way how baseball is played when you can actually play it year-round without one of your balls freezing off.

the real question, yesca, is why are you such a pussy?
Posted on 5/25/09 at 8:32 pm to TheLittleAristotle
Good one little guy, I guess it's because I'm from Minnesota
Posted on 5/25/09 at 8:37 pm to Yesca11
Why must you malign the good people of Minnesota?

Slightly below the belt, but point well taken.

I don't remember a lot of people laughing when Illinois came to Alex Box and won 2-out-of-3 earlier this spring.
