I'm tired. I got like two hours of sleep Saturday night and was up early Monday. I haven't done this since college and I gotta say, it's nice to get eight hours of sleep on a regular basis. Anyway, links? Links.

would have to agree as well

been rooting for them since their inception, was a team my best friend got me into watching, they have 3 of my top 10 favorite players all time, Forsberg, Roy, and Sakic. and the team name and jerseys my adult league team use are the same. i root for the blues though when they play each other

Ahh, the giraffe.

Believe it or not I show that every semester in AP Psych. Needless to say, the kids enjoy it… not sure about other folks.

I tend to show Li’l Hitler when discussing WWII, as well. I’m one of those teachers.

That name engine . . .

I could’ve sworn that was Kerbs on the voice for the hockey players I typed in. I’m probably wrong, but still . . . it could have me fooled.

The Name Engine.

Hey guys, I am the creator of The Name Engine, and I want to thank you for the nice comments about the site. It’s not Kerbs doing the voices, but there’s still a major St. Louis connection to the site. I am actually from St. Louis and a lifelong Blues fan (I live in Springfield, Missouri now). So needless to say, I’m thrilled to see the site getting some exposure in my hometown. Thanks a bunch—and go Blues!
