Looking for America videos, I came across Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA." Needless to say, I couldn't live with myself for linking Miley Cyrus. Then I remembered my favorite mashup and well, Party and Bullshit, son.
Hey guess who Team America is playing today?
Game on at 2 p.m. today. I'll be there, will you? Rock, flag and eagle everyone.

Here's a few Reasons to hat Switzerland
The punch holes in my cheese. They let rich people hide money. They make me spend too much damn money on chocolate for the wife. They stole money from people in WWII. but in the end…THEIR ALWAYS F’IN NEUTRAL…PICK A SIDE SWISS PEOPLE.
WTF?
Does TJ think his name is spelled, P-A-T-R-I-C-K K-A-N-E?
Let's go Blues!!!

Someone
needs to tell TJ not to smack his gum when on tv (end mom comment).
Damn I wish I could be here when the game is on.
I can’t believe NBC is showing the gold medal game on tape delay to spectr and others on the west coast.
Since they have hockey on sundays this would be the best way to promote those games. They’ve had what 1 game on nbc? How stupid can they be? Pretty stupid it seems.
I know they’re showing it on nbc today. The schedule says 2pm-4pm. I hope to god they don’t do one of their switcheroos at 4 to show Oprah reruns. I will be pissed since I have to tape it
.
USA sort of handled the Swiss the first time, let’s hope they build on the CAN win. And, Backes needs to keep his head up.
I’ve looked at the hit on Bartecko numerous times. I don’t think it was a dirty hit. I never saw an elbow, it looks like he skimmed his head with a shoulder and Bartecko ping ponged into another player which knocked his helmet off.
Ugly but not dirty IMO.
Hockey players wear numbers because you can't always identify the body with dental records.
It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all. Laura Ingalls Wilder
...
considering nbc has just been a tremendous pain in the ass the entire course of the games, i for one will be grateful if they pull a switchie, because lord knows if they dont show the third period, some good ol fashioned american killin is gonna take place.
Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

Doom on NBC!

Altered Futurama quote:
I hate these filthy Swiss!!!! With enemies, you know where they stand, but with neutrals – who knows. It sickens me.
Switzerland?
We’ve done them already, haven’t we?

Ooh, game on at 2, Nintendo Media Summit at noon.
Today, we finally might answer the age-old question ‘how little can a person actually work at work without making it blatantly obvious?’
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
I love how no one is mentioning
that one of the teams everyone said would be the two in the gold medal game isn’t even going to medal. Today is going to be a really good day if we beat the Swiss. USA up another round and definitely competing for a medal and either Crosby or Ovie going home with nothing. Gotta love it.
No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.
Land of cuckoo clocks, fondue & crooked bankers?
If that doesn’t get everyone’s Irish up, nothing will!
And don’t get me started on those useless Swiss Army knives.
They’re neutral — why do they have an army?
To guard the Pope. Really. Look it up.
Let's go Blues!!!

Enjoyed the WSJ article.
Kind of disconcerting how they kept referring to Ovie as “Mr. Ovechkin,” and say that the number two way to hold him back is to “bang him.”
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.
Oh, wait, that wasn't part of the links.
Duh. This is what happens when I have 29,297 windows open in Firefox at once and actually do work at some point. Here’s the article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704188104575083551317015696.html?mod=WSJ_World_MIDDLENews

That
needs to be Backes, not Kessel
Pujols takes out "I" in BIG and "A" in MAC, previously considered to be an unyielding, consonant threat
I don't know if Backes is capable of making a face...
… that kind of looks like Cartman when he participated in the Special Olympics:
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.
I swiped it from PPP
I was thinking the same thing. Backes or Eeej would go better.

Julien Sprunger is a titanic kitty...
That hit wouldn’t draw a penalty in a rec league game.
If you can’t take the heat, son, stay the hell out of the kitchen.
