Those Cracked pictures made my morning, thanks!

The winning picture actually sounds like an amazing idea! Watch out, anyone in Carbondale!

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

That Toews hit cannot possibly be more clean

That should be showed to defenseman as the textbook of what you are supposed to do, feet planted on ice, no elbow throw or any upward drive, just a grounded beating. That the Hawks got rewarded for fighting after a Mr. Clean hit to “break up” a pure breakaway is pretty annoying.

Not afraid to nitpick

Project mayhem done

I have to say I liked Cam Ward’s Blackbeard mask, Huet’s indian headdress, Steve Mason’s Civil War homage and Smith’s pirate mask. Still I voted for our Mason and hope everyone gets on board. How well can we blow this out of the water??

Hmmm I seem to like the history themed one’s. Makes sense, I love historical stuff.

Since I'm off work today I get to watch

Regis and Kelly interview Andy Murray. Did you know that he lives in NY and Rome?
I think he should be more dedicated to St Louis.
He likes dark movies. Wears black all the time so he doesn’t have to waste time thinking what matches.
Did you know his next movie is ‘The Anti Christ’. How does he have time to coach hockey and act? I think he needs to stick with one hobby.

Seriously, I kept looking at him but the voice coming out wasn’t right.

HEY DAD, I CAN'T SEE REAL GOOD! IS THAT BILL SHAKESPEARE OVER THERE?!

Seriously . . . Chris Farley has been dead for over 10 years, and I find that hard to believe. And like John Belushi, he’s still fucking hilarious.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

Certainly put a smile on my face.

Which says something, since this craptastic month is chugging along nicely. Some jackass charged stuff on my debit card IN CALIFORNIA, so now that’s locked so I can’t use it, I have a game to go to tonight and I have to have cash for parking, and they won’t refund the money until it posts.

And I just ate a Hardee’s thickburger in 2 seconds. Today is probably going to get worse before it gets better.

Dude, just check the site.

Honest to God, the Thrashers have ticket deals about every 30 seconds. They do have a buy one, get one free thing for students… if I hear of any special promos, I’ll letcha know!

BTW, do not do the all you can eat seats. A friend did one last night… total clusterfark.

And thank you for the thief hatred. Stupid people piss me off. :(

size

hmm lokking at the size = the weight graph what you should realize is that d-men are getting bigger, goalies are getting taller,

but forwards are getting stronger. (the weight is far more “sloped” than the height so they either getting more muscle or they more kt donut diet)

While staring intently today

at my new background picture (courtesy of milkin&waxin) I noticed that the awesomeness that is a monkey drinking Jack with Lynryd Skynyrd is even more amazing. The monkey is also wearing roller skates.
