Hockey news

A reason to like Ilya Kovalchuk and his sweet 1990s hair cut. Shaved under and long on top, bro? That's chill. [In Lou We Trust]
Zdeno Chara may need pinkie surgery. You think his pinkie is like the size of Mike Weaver? [ESPN]
If you're from Quebec, don't drive to Philly. [ESPN]
The Thrashers are going to interview Scott Arniel for their open coaching job. I originally misread this headline and thought his name was Moose Arniel. [TSN]
Dammit, Sharks. You beat the Wings, which was nice, but now you're shitting the bed against Chicago. Turn this series around now. [TSN]
Michael Leighton has been unreal for the Flyers. Philly is up 2-0 on the Habs. [TSN]

The Big Picture blog is one of my favorite sites on the tubes. This site is its companion site, and it is also great — for different reasons. [The Big Caption]
Wanna sound like you're working without doing anything? There's a site for that. The only downside, you can't surf other sites with noise. [idlekeyboard]

Dan, who I think I might know from my college days at Truman (softball?) gets points for reading comprehension. Yesterday I used the phrase "warms the cockles of my heart." Dan got the reference and wanted to share with the rest of the class.

Finally, we have something to add to Gallagher's "Joe really likes Ghostbusters" file. This is too awesome.

Adios, amigos.

I just found out DIO died

Holy shit im spamming you with Dio links the rest of the week.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.

Where you been for the last two days?

My brither’s been in deep mourning; he was a huge Dio fan.

RIP, Ronnie James… you’ll be missed.

They say that life’s a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who’ll blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It’s heaven and hell.. oh well

And they’ll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls

It’s heaven and hell

So today is my birthday

I got up at 9:00am to go run my ass off
Then I completely underestimated the distance it would take to walk downtown to this restaurant, I now have horrendous blisters… and the food wasn’t even that good.
And I had to pay DX
And now I cannot find a place to drink alcohol.

this… this is not a birthday

*puts head in hands and cries.

My birthday is on thanksgiving

I spend it being polite, making fake insincere small talk with relatives I barely know. They are all good folk its just weird trying to spend a day with people I’m not totally familiar with but somehow am close to and its supposed to. Oh and after 24 godamn years on this earth people finally tell me the day before thanksgiving is one of the biggest party days of the year. I seriously did not fucking know that it is legit to go out the day before thanksgiving and get hammered and there will be tons of people there with me. I figured it would be sad and lonely because everyone would be at home with their family and I’d just be drinking alone like a loser. Apparently not.
