Re: AC/DC to the West Lot.........rumors
Ok, I've had enough of talking about the Target Field game for now, so I've come to my "safe" place and decided to post a public service message for all of you loyal readers.
Good communication is a hallmark of great leadership, and Lord knows I've got both of those in spades!We are getting new Thunderstruck Maker Inner Circle members each day (although not any, unfortunately, that feel like donating…...the cheap bastards!), and like most new members, they don't want to have to go back and read this entire thread to get up to speed on the awesome happenings within ThM (they're lazy bastards, too…..but we luv 'em)!
So…………………………..I give you……………….
The Thunderstruck Makers Abridged Dictionary
AC/DC: THE very definition of Rock Band. Performers of the classic 'Thunderstruck'. Closely associated with NDSU Football across the world.
Angus: Angus Young, legendary lead guitarist and showman of AC/DC. Likes to yank Bison Loaf's chain from time to time.
Backup Plan <xyz>: A bunch of great potential 'Thunderstruck' acts lined up to come in on the small (laughably small) chance that AC/DC doesn't show up.
Big & Rich: Extremely controversial suggestion as an appropriate fall back act by some non-accredited and rogue Inner Circle members of ThM. Does, however, have certain GameDay ties.
Bon: Bon Scott, legendary former lead singer of AC/DC who died from alcohol poisoning in 1980. All head gear is properly removed when uttering his name.
BJ: Brian Johnson, longtime lead singer of AC/DC and iconic voice of 'Thunderstruck', who just recently had to stop performing due to hearing loss. What did you think BJ meant?
Budget Deficit: A necessary financial tool in successfully running a flagship organization.
Crack Team of Number Crunchers: A group of ThM Honchos charged with keeping the organization on the "cutting-edge" of red ink.
Dammit: Word that usually pre-curses the conveyance of extreme frustration with the ThM constituency, and/or signals the use or non-use of the color purple.
Drink Umbrellas: Popular perk provided to members in good standing of the ThM inner Circle. Civil war almost broke out when they were on the chopping block.
GameDay: ESPN's College GameDay, national football show that loves Fargo and has close ties to ThM. Would be here every home game if the P5 schools would let them.
Have you called ThM?: What an Inner Circle member will politely tell you when one of your ideas really, really sucks.
HerdBoy: #1 fan of Bon Scott. Thinks Scott's death in 1980 was staged, and that Bon's been living in south Fargo all these years.
Honcho: Any project leader, minion, or secret operative on the ThM payroll. Should be revered at all times, but never trusted.
Hooch: A word used in ThM circles so that the Milk Drinkers and Knitters don't know what we're REALLY drinking out in Thunder Tundra.
Inner Circle: A group of privileged ThM donors that receive important secret text messages precious seconds before anyone else, including Forum Communications.
KISS: Legendary Rock Band attempting to horn it's way in on the upcoming Thunder Tundra extravaganza.

Philly-boy, or Rudder: Phil Rudd, former drummer of AC/DC, who was incarcerated under home arrest for attempting to have a hit job put on a couple of people. Rumors that those people were Big Undies & Nilknarf are largely untrue.
Pom-poms: aka Pom-pons, highly endorsed ThM fan participation tool that, when manipulated properly and rythmically, has a stimulating effect on all parties handling or viewing them.
Priority Points: Points earned for greasing the palms of ThM Honchos. Can be used only for entry into the AC/DC "Meet 'n Greet" event.
Pud: Anything that is not Big-12-like or AC/DC-esque.
SBOHT: State Board of Higher Tailgating – a bunch of dipshits whose only purpose on earth is to annoy and frustrate the hell out of Bison Loaf.
Slap a Bison Jersey on <abc>: Slang for any ThM member not stepping up to the plate. Such as, "Hell, we couldn't even get someone to slap a Bison jersey on Garth Brooks when he was here!"
ThM: Shortened version of Thunderstruck Makers.
Thunderstruck Makers: Extremely popular and beloved organization established to bring AC/DC into Thunder Tundra for a future live performance of 'Thunderstruck'. Also has a vested interest in promoting alcohol consumption, pom-poms, classic rock, satire, and world-class tailgating.
Thunderstruck (the song): Underlying foundation of the greatest intro in college football, for the greatest dynasty in college football.
Thunderstruck Tequila: Official Hooch of Thunder Tundra and Thunderstruck Makers.

Unsubstantiated Rumors: The true lifeblood of the Thunderstruck Makers organization.
Vet: Bison Vet, long-time nemesis of Bison Loaf and leader of a dissident group of small-time thinkers. Loves Barry Manilow and spinach dip. That about says it all.
What have you done about the damn Dippin' Dots?: Code phrase used in those extremely rare times in which you're not happy with ThM leadership.

These ridiculous results serve that stupid-ass Board right for making me do this! (Don't worry, all my posts and correspondence are on a secret, un-hackable server residing in my mom's basement.) I can assure you, we at Thunderstruck Makers will be going by the results of the TRUE Bison Fan rankings and criteria that have been in place around here forever. Those rankings are, of course:
