Saturday Links

I'm starting to agree with averagejoe, who reads this damn introduction, anyway?

Welcome to the weekend linkage:

Blues News:

Word of the Blues second-half surge has reached far and wide. Even Alabama has heard the news. (Thanks, Hildymac)
In case you can't scroll down below this article, draft mastermind Jarmo Kekalainen will stay in the organ-I-zation for a little while longer.
Just another reason to hate the Russians. Russian-3 USA-2. Osh and Backes play for the bronze now against the Swedes.
But Chris Mason has a shot at Gold. Dwayne Roloson was the man in net for Canada's semifinal win, though.

NHL News:

Last night's action resulted in wins for the Penguins and the Canes.
Ovechkin with a knee-to-knee shot on Gonchar last night. I really can't imagine Ovie would do that on purpose, particularly to a fellow countryman.
PensBurgh recaps last night's win for Billy G (there's a Michael Jackson reference in there somewhere) and company.
As the Coyotes Turn. Reports of 3 offers to keep the team where they are. Keep checking Five For Howling and Save The Coyotes for continued updates and smart-ass commentary.
Caps/Pens and Hawks/Nucks slated for tonight.

Other Stuff:

School wary of student attending prom filled with loud music, dancing, hand holding. Can you hear me all the way back in the 1950s?
I wonder if this thing talks shit about Kelly Backes. God help it if it does. (Hat tip to "Susie")
One of my favorite weekly articles on CollegeHumor: Stupid Question HoF
Google can read your mind. If you would actually ask a computer about relationships, that is.
It's 12 inches in length, helping you get those hard to reach places. Get your mind outta the gu...well, OK, go ahead.
This one isn't a link. I'm just wondering if anybody saw the new Star Trek movie yet. If so, how is it? And before you ask, yeah, I'm an original series Trekkie.

Video:

Today's links are feature bookends from Alabama. Enjoy. (Editor's Note: They are also feature poor grammar)

Come back for more. Game Time Prospect Department (I call him Mr. Department) has some stuff on tap for later today. It's good. You should read it.

Believe me, Mobile, AL:

If there were an actual leprechaun . . . it wouldn’t be there. It’d probably be in Madison, WI, where he could drink all the whiskey and Guinness he could ever want for pennies on the dollar (booze is cheap in the Cheese State).

The reviews for the Magic Hand are what make it.

That’s the funniest stuff I’ve read in eons. Anything that can damage the thyroid gland from overexposure (like one review said) makes me a little, um, nervous regarding other usage.

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.

From the USA/RUS game notes:
“The USA’s three best players of the tournament were announced: David Backes, Dustin Brown, and Ron Hainsey. For Russia, it was Oleg Tverdovsky, Oleg Saprykin, and Ilya Kovalchuk.”

Also, just got back from seeing Star Trek at the IMAX at Ronnies – it’s great, go see it.
