Monday Links

In a week the regular season will be over. Hopefully the post season will be starting for the Blues. Just three games left. This week is going to be fun ... and be tough on the ol' ticker. Let's get to the links.

Blues news

Not much news to report on the Blues front. Except for this little nugget: JD says the team will make the playoffs.
A look at the X-factors in the remaining games by Jeff Gordon.

Hockey news

Here are the standings. The Blues are still on the outside looking in.
The Sharks helped the 'Note out yesterday. As DJ pointed out, the schedule for today doesn't have anything that will impact the playoff the chase.
Some of the fine folks at TSN debate the NHL Award winners.
The Swedish chip-shot artist might play in the KHL next year.
Sidney Crosby dropped the gloves again yesterday.
Ron Wilson will lead David Backes and team USA at the Olympic games.

Other things

Nicknames are a good thing in relationships. So I guess we DO have a healthy relationship with the Blues.
This news probably won't go over well.
Kids learned swear words at school. Who here was the teacher?

Video

So last week's game against the Blackhwaks was a shitstorm of epic proportions. However I did manage to find the lone highlight from the game from a Blues prospective. Carlo Colaiacovo tells Colin Fraser to sit down.

Come back later for more fun things.

Re: the Alcohol story, Its called fucking prohibition...

…and it doesnt work. For starters, this is a campaign directed agaisnt poorer people who don’t have the “common decency” to drink themselves blind on $250 a bottle scotch and have their driver run them home. (How gauche poor people are.) However, if the cost of alcohol is raised that it impacts availability people will find other black market alternatives.

Organized crime and gangs must be licking their chops.

Here is a tip for everyone: If you meet someone and they say they either work in “public health” or they are a “nutritionist” you know they are evil and stupid. God, I hate this fucking bullshit.

Completely agree.

When the government starts messing with people’s abilities to do anything, even stuff that’s not good for you, it builds resentment for the nanny state. Look at the hike in tobacco taxes. I don’t smoke, but I think that’s BS. If someone wants to smoke, let them. If we raise taxes to pay for some other sector of the economy at the expense of someone else, yeah, that extinguishes that behavior. But if you factor in the increased taxes into your budget, and then all of a sudden those monies disappear, then your program’s screwed and you have to look for a new source of revenue.

Which defeats the entire TRUE purpose of the tax to begin with – not to control people’s behavior, but to get money for a program in a way that people deem “excusable” and “acceptable.” So, basically, you have no money and a bunch of pissed-off non-smokers.

Oh...and a word about "New Scientist"...

…in this context “New” means either fascist or totalitarian. (Take your pick.)

But don’t worry, you didnt need your freedom anyway.

Going to be a Quiet Monday

Good day to catch our collective breath for the next week.
It IS baseball’s Opening Day, though so with that FUCK THE YANKEES and as always FUCK DETROIT

'Fuck Detroit is one thing, at least, that the St. Louis Cardinals did magnificently...

…at least the parts that the Tigers pitching staff didn’t fuck already with its stellar ‘defense.’ I feel guilty — I want it to be 3:15 so I can watch the start of the season and my second biggest St. Louis sports mancrush, Adam Wainwright.

You hear that, Blues? There’s another team vying for my attention now, so you can start winning in destructive fashion again and make the playoffs already.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

I second that.

Opening Day is my absolute favorite day of the year. I can’t wait for the game to start.

I just wish that I could manage to be up there for it.

I love players getting sent over the boards in the other team's bench

I’m trying to remember the best bench check I ever saw. The player got pizzed and starts swinging on the bench and the bench players just hold him down like a log and rub noogies on his dumb azz. God I wish I could remember the teams and player, it was a riot to watch. The refs finally had to come in and rescue the dude and drag him off while he was oozing oil.

I could teach Swearing 101 while Donut King teaches Swearing Combinations and Contractions.

And regarding that story, I read some of my old journals a while ago, I was a fucking sailor mouth when I was in third grade. I was saying FUCK in third grade. I was such a nice kid. And I think that teacher is epic for teaching the kids, those parents are just pussies.

And regarding the alcohol story.

FUUUUUUUCK MYYYYYY LIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DOES LIFE INSIST ON TAKING A HUGE DUMP JUST WHEN IT’S MY TURN TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING?!!

There is nothing wrong with cheap alcohol. I am having the time of my life right now with the cheap alcohol. Seriously every time it was my turn to experience something cool the god damn fuckers have to fuck it up. (EX: seniors this year only get out a few days early instead of a few weeks. And when I got to high school they eliminated late start wednesdays and open campus lunch WTF??)

Yup, lets just take a huge dump on Christine by raising the god damn prices. COME ON!!!!!!! Vodka is fucking fantastic, don’t ruin it. DON’T RUIN IT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well there is always stealing and mooching. But see what this is going to create?!?? A FUCKING SOCIETY OF STEALERS AND MOOCHERS.

And they make it out to be like pissing in the street is so bad. Come on, it’s not that bad, and most people hide behind a bush or something so no one even knows anyways. COME ON!!! Everyone pisses so why is it considered “vulgar” ?! This just shows that there is a need for more public facilities not a raise on alcohol prices. I mean really, when a person has to go they have to fucking go, a price change isnt going to change that because people are either going to find something else to drink or black market the shit.

People are dumb and this shit pisses me off.
