Well that sure was a lot of fun. Six goals, man. Six goals.They should do that more often. I'm glad to have David Perron on my fantasy team.

The suspension flow chart is art.

I’m glad Perron is on my fantasy team too.
The Waffle House people have got NOTHING on the WalMart people.
Dom sounds bitter, I get it, he doesn’t like the shootout. I personally like it.

WaHo and Wally World are both scary places...

… at 2 am. Or 2 pm. But you absolutely cannot argue with WaHo’s cheese eggs.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

Lets make a habit of this

Trying to write a speech while I had the Blues game running sounded like a good idea when I thought of it yesterday afternoon. I figured I’d get a lot done as neither team would score very often, and honestly saw us losing, thus I’d finish the speech while depressed. Oh I couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s waaaaay harder to write a speech when you’re doing high fives and fist pumps in the computer lab.

Thanks for ruining my speech Blues…at least I had an A in the class already.
