F-You Friday: Home Opener Eve Edition

by Brad Lee on Oct 8, 2010 11:01 PM CDT

We've got a ton of things brewing, so this is popping up late. But we figured we can't start the season without a few fuck yous.

One side not, in a hidden room not too far from where I'm typing this entry, hundreds of Jay McClement for Selke posters are printing for the game tomorrow. It's a covert operation under the cover of darkness so make sure you get one Saturday. We'll have them with our paper vendors and a few of our "elves" will be distributing around the pre-game festivities. No, I'm not drunk or making this up, but gallagher is driving two blocks for tall boys while these motherfuckers print.

Now back to our regularly scheduled F-U Friday.

- Fuck scary moments like goaltenders collapsing during games while action is happening at the other end of the ice. We mean that in a positive way in that who needs that kind of drama, ever. Thankfully Ondrej Pavelec is alert and by all signs fine, thank God.

- Fuck you Mike Modano and your Geritol ass for scoring in a Red Wings victory. Do I need to say Fuck Detroit. Yes, yes I do.

- Fuck Detroit.

- Even though it doesn't affect any Blues fans for the most part, fuck those games in Europe. As the Blues and Andy Murray can attest, it usually doesn't turn out very well.

- And finally, fuck you clock. I like the weekend to drag on, but not when hockey here in St. Louis is Saturday and not Friday.

Gotta go check the printer. And drink my beer. Shit this is fun.

SAY IT LOUDLY AND PROUDLY

FUCK DETROIT

Pavelec collapsing was a definite "what the fuck"

Great sign that he’s conscious now, hopefully nothing that will keep him out of commission for too long. I kept waiting for the House intro credits to start, hear someone describing their new case of “23-year-old professional hockey player, randomly collapsed on the ice”.

So I just watched the replay of the dude collapsing

It’s like he was shot. Holy crap.

I haven't really felt the frustration on previous Fridays, but...

F-U Dish Network for your “screw the customer” policies and bargaining tactics. Don’t tell me to blame Fox — they didn’t take their channels off the air, you did.

F-U Fox for your involvement in this mess.

F-U again Dish Network for giving me literally 20 replacement sports channels instead of the one channel I want. Maybe some of those channels will carry a Blues away game feed and I’ll have to retract this F-U, but are you telling me that adding 20 channels is cheaper than whatever rate increase Fox wanted?

F-U Blues for all of the Dish Network ads you shove in my face at the games. So you have an advertising contract — throw some lawyers at it and get those ads out of there! An extra F-U to the guy who flies the Dish Network Blimp around between periods. It would take just one “malfunction” and resulting loss of control to take that thing out of commission for the season you know (it’s much more complex than an escalator, and you know how long that took to get fixed).

F-U one last time Dish Network for not even giving me the choice of having the cost passed on to me. How much could it be, $3 a month? You’re going to increase rates sometime in the future anyway, why not make it for something I care about? Thanks for assuming that I’d rather not even have those channels than pay a little extra for them.

This sounds like fun

Cant wait to move closer to GTHQ.

Between beers and putting hundreds of pieces of paper in a printer

I think gallagher said he’d help you move.

Brad has the bigger vehicle.

And said he wanted to show his daughter where Mark Twain lived.

F-U, fantasy hockey.

How the fuck did I end up with three fantasy teams? And how is it that I don’t have a single Bluenote-wearing fucker on any of them?

by BleedBlue42 on Oct 9, 2010 12:17 AM CDT reply actions

this seems impossible.

i’ve always had way too many blues on my teams.

i’ve also never won a fantasy hockey championship.

so…..

Fuck you, HP!

Why is my netbook- which I’ve barely had for 2 months – starting to give me a fucked up screen like I’m an 11-year old trying to watch scrambled HBO porn? It almost cost me my fantasy hockey draft a few weeks ago, but it’s been fine until today. Now I don’t know what the fuck to do!

Fuck you, SIU Theatre faculty! I’d imagine very few of you have have heard of Alice Ripley, but she’s a fantastic Broadway actress who won a Tony Award for starring in probably the best musical of the past decade, Next to Normal. Well, she’s in at SIU this weekend doing a free concert and a master class – a master class that I’ve been asking to participate in for literally over a year! And of the nine (NINE!) people chosen, I’m not among them! Fuck you!

Fuck you, tech rehearsal, for making me miss the Blues opener! Fuck you a thousand times over!

Finally, fuck you cigarettes! I recently started getting so stressed that I took up smoking. As if my lifestyle wasn’t unhealthy enough, now I’m pretty much doing everything my D.A.R.E. Officer told me not to (other than the really hard stuff). Quintin The Bear would be very disappointed in me.

Now if you’ll excuse me, that master class is at 10 in the morning. I may not be performing, but I’m sure as fuck still going to be there!

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

Fuck

not Chris Mason. Did anyone see him take over for the guy that passed out randomly? I wonder if he was on something. Mason also did amazing in the game.

It's called motivation.

Wait til he plays the Blues. He’ll be doing backflips.

FU

getting old and having to shave your ear hair. There only one other region as delicate and with as many curves and angles.

FU body scanners. The STL fishwrap says I’m one of the first to have my body shape projected onto a big screen at the Southwest Terminal tomorrow. Lovely, I hope that comes with a warning to those in line. I’m also not responsible for the fucking stampede that’s sure to follow.

FU Blackhawks, luv watching you lose.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

A day late, but...

…a hearty FU to a company in St. Louis whom I cannot name, but who fired my sorry ass yesterday.

Good luck finding someone off the street who can do what I did for you, and won’t need six months’ training to be able to do it.

Yeah, I'm late again

Fuck you sinues! They would start now. And I can’t blow my nose after surgery. Which is about a week and a half away. I hope they do something with those too while they are at it. I’m sick of you hurting me all the damn time anyway. Enough all ready.
Fuck you ‘s’ for not wanting to work right. This laptop isn’t that old to fuck up so soon.
Fuck you body, why must you be such a mess at this age. What’d I ever do to you to deserve this shit?
Fuck you weather, I’m sick of being hot. Cool down.
And finally fuck you family for wanting me to put me in the middle of your shit. Deal with it, I’m the youngest, not the fucking parent. Grrr.
Oh yeah, fuck you Detroit and Chicago. And fuck you A. L. team(s) that I was rooting for and lost. And fuck the N. L. teams.
