Late Night Poll: Know What I'm Tired Of?

by gallagher on Oct 27, 2009 12:58 AM CDT Comment 15 comments

Not these beers on a Monday night, that's for sure. I don't know what it is about drinkin' in a typically non-drinkin' situation that makes it more fun than usual, but I've always been a sucker for falling in with the 'bad crowd' (also known as my best friends) when there's a movement afoot to do some random drinkin' on say a:

Monday night. Isn't Monday for sleepin'?
Sunday afternoon. Football schmootball, Sunday afternoon once you hit your 30's? Lots of kid events (birthday parties, soccer games, "bonding opportunities"), lots of maintenance (Can I get away with just giving my lawn a mullet: cut the front yard and leave the back to go back to making hay?) and lots of, well, stuff that isn't you and your buddies sitting at the local pub 'n grub with a bucket o beers and a giant plate of wings in front of you. Don't ask me how this happens, it just does. Coors Lights' ads are lying to you.
At some kid's birthday party. As my first good buddy who had a kid said in a speech to the assembled crowd at his party, "Thank you all for coming, we appreciate you coming out to celebrate our son's first birthday. Many of you may be wondering why we have a keg here...."
After your team's rec league game. It might be nearing midnight in the middle of the week and all you want to do is go home, but when that one guy says, "Hey, if anyone wants to hang around for a bit, I brought a cooler full of beer," it's like a siren song. You know you're probably going to end up crashing your ship on the rocks, but the song is just... so... beautiful.... You know you're going to that dude's truck for "one beer" and that you're not leaving for at least an hour.

And there are plenty of others, but I've digressed too much and (once again) shared too much. Feel free to add your own examples in the comments.

Tonight our poll is similar to my rambling, but barely:

Poll

What are you tired of hearing about the most?

Steve fucking Ott. Suspend his ass and let's be done with this shit.

13 votes

The "Andy Murray Sucks" garbage. It's a young team with lots of injuries. What's a Green Goblin supposed to do?

15 votes

Eric Brewer sucks. Can you even picture Eric Brewer? We haven't seen the robot in months, shut up already.

8 votes

Barret Jackman sucks. Jackman is doing exactly the same job he did in juniors when he was drafted and when he won the Calder Trophy. This is what he does, numbskulls!

9 votes

David Perron and the doghouse. We get it, he's immature. Who wasn't when they were 18, 19, 20 years old?

Where's all of the above?

Steve Ott can go die in a fire. Murray is doing the same thing he did last year. Brewer is Brewer. Jackman is Jackman and Perron is maturing.

That being said, I voted for Jackman. Fans in St. Louis got used to Pronger and MacInnis and want everyone to be like them.

you get no "all of the above" and you'll like it.

That’s just the way things have to happen here. You gotta take a stand somewhere. Might as well be on the internet, where it doesn’t count.

I wanted 2 and 5

People who bitch about murray are the same kind of people who pound a case of donuts and write half assed, porly thought out, completely irrational, zero patience bullshit fucking articles for the Post cough fuck you bernie miklas you fat fuck cough

People who complain about Perron and his fragile ego and how Murray hate him for helping him mature as a player and a person are the same kind of tools who thought we needed to trade prospects and get a veteran cause this could be the year, but say that shit EVERY FUCKING YEAR cough fuck you every mother fucker who posts at Stltoday cough

And id just like to say hanging out with the PPP guys for their first win was hella fun. Seriously they were about to start rioting, if they drank as much as we do that thread would have been full of girls flashing they were so excitied. Stempniak was a beast, other players had better statistical nights which is awesome considering he had 1g, 3a but he took Marchant OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME with a hit and also drew some penatlies that got them 5 on 3s. This ones for you dutchy.

Also yeah i was helping them celebrate and being a loyal son of the STL means im slightly drunk. I might have put a hit out on Ott as well since they play Dallas wednesday.

I vote "all the above"

1- Ott is a fuckin meat head. Almost EXACTLY like Bertuzzi
2-The Blues have a young team, do people really think they automatically fall in line and behave?
3- All I have been hearing about Brewer is praise. “O Mah Gawd hes gona be the savior of the Blues!” He will take a while
4-Every person who says Jackman sucks is as much as a meathead as Ott
5-He Needs a little work…

I win. Where is my certificate for my Free Internet?

St. Louie Blues, St. Louie Blues. Have you heard the news about our St. Louie blues? They've only just begun, but they're on their way to Number One.

I went for #1

Shew, for minute I started bobbing n weaving thinking you were going after my big doughnut luvin azz.

I went for #1 since I was handcuffed with the choices, Otter gets way too much ink.

What I’m really REALLY tired of is watching the Kings show some magic and chemistry while the Blues, who are supposedly a year or 2 ahead of them in the rebuild, do a giant bellyflop every other game. For the love of god show us some consistency for a change. It’s like your drunk uncle Harold coming over at Thanksgiving, you don’t know of he’s going to show up sober or crashing into the garage.

Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints

I hate Miklas for various reasons so any chance I get to take a potshot at him gets taken. I don’t mind rational Murray criticism but it seems people go off on Murray after random losses, boneheaded plays, and random canadian holidays.

If you will rememeber though for the last 2 years we’ve only played half a season each. Last year the second half, the year before the first. I think it took the players a while to get fired up for the season and are now just working out the kinks to their game. The player turnover were getting isn’t helping anything.

Likewise.

That is all.

you NEED ten hours of sleep? Jesus christ!! How do you live

I prefer 13 hours of sleep, but I can get along just fine with 4.

Holy crap.

Can I get away with just giving my lawn a mullet: cut the front yard and leave the back to go back to making hay?

Holy crap. Have you been to my house? This is exactly where I’m at.

I got away with letting the backyard go for a while by blaming it on the yellowjackets; but the exterminator got rid of them a few weeks ago. If we get a couple sunny days after this rain passes, I think I’m gonna have to cut it. I can barely see the dogs in the yard as it is.
