Speechless Sunday--Skol Vikings!

Carved Viking by Teri Eckholm Realtor

For all the football fanatics out there...This guy is a year-round fixture in the front yard of a Roseville home.  I took this photo a year or so ago....Wonder if he now has a number four painted in gold on his back? Maybe not yet but if plays keep coming in the final seconds of the game, it could be added to the back of the shirt rather easily!

Karen Anne--I have driven through WI several times and have never seen a yard with a cheese head wooden figure...but then maybe I was just in the wrong neighborhood. LOL But this guy would definitely be scarier than any cheese head!

Cynthia--Not too many people would go so far as to have a VIKING in their front yard no matter how loyal!

Terry and Bonnie--I'm kind of wondering if the Viking has a new number painted on his back after that last minute play.

Russel--I wonder if they will bring back the old "purple people eaters" slogan of the 70's...with this guy as a mascot, there is no telling.

Rebecca--Soooo you are not cheering on the Vikings and supporting Farve in the match up on Monday? LOL...There are lots of Packer-backers in MN too. Just haven't found a front yard tribute to share as of yet.

Karen--Many of these wooden carvings are pretty well grounded...literally...as they have been carved in place where a tree died. I think that is the case for this particular fellow!
