Nine hours and thirty-nine minutes into 2010.

So far, so good.

We’re 0-0-0 at home in the new year.

Let's go Blues!!!

Power of positive thought.

Or something.

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.

If you think JR has it tough with asshat fans

Chris Kerber is dealing with the same thing on his twitter… except he doesn’t seem to know any better to just ignore a troll.

He’s mad at JR too.. http://twitter.com/Overkamp

So last night I'm

at my parents house with sister and her family doing our normal game night on NYE.
We’ve moved the tv to watch Mizzou (shit the bed) and the Blues.
I tell them when we’re up 3-0, just watch what happens now. Yup they proved me right.
I was soooooo hoping I wouldn’t look so great in front of my family.

All the laptops were taken up by 5 kids so I didn’t get to watch the Canada/US game. It looks like it was a great game. To bad US couldn’t put it away. But, good to see all our juniors doing well. Petro with the late tying goal SH to put it into overtime. Allen stopping the 3rd US SO goal for Canada’s win. McRae scoring for the US….
Let’s hope the US gets past the next 2 teams to meet up with Canada in the finals.

I did the same thing

at the game. I was there with some old friends from high school, and only a couple of us really follow hockey. When we went up 3-0 the ones who don’t usually watch the Blues were commenting on how they were glad we got to see a win, to which I had to keep saying “Don’t count on it” , “Too early to celebrate”, “They’re just going to score at the end of the second and then tie/win in the third”. Fuck being right, how do I get my $37.50 back. The only consolation was that being at Scottrade meant I didn’t watch the atrocity of a Mizzou game I would’ve otherwise suffered through.

What an epic collection of videos.

Oh, and mixing several different beers and adding a bottle of champagne later . . . is something I could do when I was 20, but not now. I’m reaping hell from it today . . . .

Likewise.

Though add a glass of wine and a vodka-pomgranet juice to that. I have only been awake for 3 hrs today at the most. I’d kind of like to return to bed, actually.

wuss

i had to drive 2 hours back home today AND go into work. you dont see my complaining. except that.

by averagejoe on Jan 1, 2010 4:36 PM CST up reply actions

Ewww, work. You win.

I really think I got a bit toasted because of my blood pressure meds… I don’t think that I’m supposed to drink on them, let alone drink shit called “Satan’s Anus.”

For those who’re wondering, it’s frozen lemonade, frozen limeade, a fifth of tequila, and 6 Coronas all stirred up in a pitcher. It’s hellacious.

Watching the Winter Classic

Just started lots of big hits.
The lighting is so different, it’s got to be hard for them on the ice.
It’s hard for me to find the puck on tv. The view from way above is a great camera angle. Don’t know if it’s from the top of Fenway or a blimp

waiting for after the classic....

so i can see who made the cut for team ( gold medal ) USA

you smell that? that's what a winner smells like....

by stonewall jackson on Jan 1, 2010 12:47 PM CST reply actions

i was wondering when the hell they were going to announce that

i thought it would be before the game

Congrats

to Backes & Johnson on making the USA hockey team.
Unfortunately unless we have another Miracle on Ice 1980 type run we’ll not have much of a chance.
I’ll root for any Blues when they are playing.

Oh come on — It's Miller Time!

If Ryan Miller gets hot, this could be a bronze medal team!

Jackman for Captain

I want a shot of him holding back both of the twins as my wallpaper. That’s a man who’s sticking up for the team. Also watching the game with my wife as soon as they mentioned our troubles in the third she looked at me and asked why they are jinxing the team. While it’s true that we have sucked in the third should they not mention it?

The term "in my humble opinion", which they think adds weight to their statements rather than indicating , in reality, "these are the mean little views of someone with the social grace of duckweed"
