    Default Answer Guy aka Vern Lysford

    https://www.duborefuneralhome.com/obituary/Vern-Lysford

    It's very fitting that the obituary so very accurately captures his unique sense of humor!

    I've known Vern my entire life & wasn't necessarily fond of his style of humor in my early years, but I grew to appreciate it as I "matured" (just like his appreciation for NDSU ).

    Rest in peace, thank you for showing us how to accept what we're dealt.

    Vern sure had a unique sense of humor and made me smile every time I read his posts or ran into him at tailgating. Loved reading his stuff back in the day on Bison media blog, stirring us all up to get a laugh. UND has rarely produced anything worthwhile, but he was the best they’ve had. RIP, Vern and condolences to all his family, including you, gotts.

    I've been told Vern wrote his own obit. For me the tell is ...

    He is survived by his long-suffering wife of 40 years, ...
    That's classic "Answer Guy" (aka VMeister).

    Vern had a final email that was to be sent out after his passing.

    The last line in his good bye was----

    P.S. If any of my Bison friends are reading this, please help them with the bigger words.
    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Looking at the Bisonville Digital Grave Site, it's sad how many people have died in the last 18 years I've been on this site. When I die, after a few years people will ask
    "Whatever happened to herdbot?" If I ever go a year without posting, assume I'm dead.

    Anyways... RIP Answer Guy. I probably annoyed him a few times but I enjoyed his witt

    Here's his last post on Bisonville

    Otherwise, the numbers would be larger.
