I wish I could've stayed up for the game.

Ok yeah I’m an adult and COULD have stayed up but would’ve been a very crabby person at work today.
I’m glad I said I wanted the Slovaks to beat the Ruskies!!! I really didn’t think it would happen.
Yeah for Bart and Handzus and whoever else is an ex Blue.

This goalie mask is just soooo scary

Demetria

how could I forget him.
After going through 200 of the 266 comments the late nighters left I see he scored the SHO winner.
Awesome.

Then you guys went to curling again!!!

Carnie wins with the last Buehler Buehler.

Hiller's a beast.

No doubt, if his team would have been a little more skilled, the Swiss would have won. What an epic choke job for the Canadians – they had almost 50 SOG, and couldn’t manage to score more than 2. So much for that whole “America beat the Swiss by only two goals!” snideness – we beat them by 2, and in regulation. What’s your excuse?

I admit, I have a whole new level of respect for that guy after the game. I also find it hysterical that the big, bad, awesome Russian team got taken out by Slovakia again. America’s in 1st in hockey standings. Hell yeah!

That was a nice put-together by the Uni Watch.

Had any of those three prototypes from the mid-90’s been put to use, I’m sure someone in marketing would’ve been fired. I would never wear those ugly ass sweaters – any one of the three designs. Ugghhhh.

Can someone explain to me...

… why one was PINK? I… gah. I hate them for women’s jerseys. Why the hell would you put that on a man’s?

Note by Note

The Uni watch link made me remember my own copy of Note by Note, carefully preserved in the dark inside my chest of drawers. I also bought a copy of Note by Note for my father. I don’t know how to make one of those poll thingies, but if an enterprising SLGT reader wanted to help me out I’d like to see a poll up here asking what percentage of SLGT readers own a copy of Note by Note and how many have purchased more than one.

I have one.

Err, somewhere. (I’ve moved four times since I got it, and it’s in a box of books that are patiently awaiting the construction of more shelves.)

If polls are being constructed, also put me down for “People who think Jim Woodcock is using Uni Watch to sell those last ten boxes of Note By Note that have been in Woodie’s garage for five years”.
