Sunday Links: Stackin' Shit and Breakin' Stuff Edition

by Poor College Student on May 30, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

Don't get the headline? Guess you gotta come to more Meet N' Drinks.

Good job to those who made it out last night. It was great to see you again or meet you for the first time.

Don't forget, we're doin' it again for Game 3 in Maplewood.

Blues News:

RusskiDan and I want you to vote for David Perron for Goal of the Year. Registration is easy so do it already.

NHL News:

Hawks take game 1. Broad Street attempts the recap in the near hours after the finish and does a good job summarizing: Crazy ass game.
And Puck Daddy recaps as well. Wysh and Co. also dare to predict their cup winner prior to game 1 festivities. Only one of them takes Philly.
Bob McKenzie: Chicago needs to use speed to beat Pronger. Ka-chow!
It wouldn't be that loud if Chuck were singing, I can tell you that.
Take comfort, Bruins fans, in the fact that your rival Canadiens didn't make the finals.

Other Stuff:

Epic garbage toss from downtown!
I've never taken a journalism or photography course in my life. Even though I'll defer to those with more experience (Joe), I'll say these 29 photos, thanks to very good timing, are very well done for the most part.

Video:

Chris Gift presents for your viewing pleasure, "Big Lebowski: The fucking short version."

You want Averagejoe tomorrow? Great, because he'll be here.

If you don't want Averagejoe tomorrow, you...well, I just plain don't like you.

And stay tuned for Prospect Sundays.

Yes, yes you did.

Because after you left, CT did this:

and managed only to break one of the plates.

It was nice to meet you guys, by the way!

Holy shit.

If you could spin them too, you could land a spot on Ed Sullivan.

Thrashing the Blues

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.

Sorry to break it to you, Hildy...

Ed Sullivan is dead.

Let's go Blues!!!

and that isnt the one that broke,

used all the plates the second time

however someone from another table came over to take a picture. so apparently drunk people stacking turtles isnt just of interest to dr seuss, who, like ed, is dead

"All mine!" i cried. "Oh, the things I now rule!
I’m the king of a plate! And I’m the king of a stool!
I’m the king of a shaker! And, what’s more, something dear
I’m the king of a shopping bag and of a beer
I’m childhood trauma Oh, marvelous hack!
For I am the ruler of all that I stack!"

You're WAY too young to remember Ed Sullivan, m'dear...

Me, on the other hand…

I remember distinctly seeing Jim Morrison and The Doors on Ed Sullivan, and everyone having kittens because he sang “girl, we couldn’t get much higher.”

Hell, I remember seeing LBJ depicted as a longhorn steer in “Pogo” strips back in the 60’s. Loved me some “Pogo;” still do. RIP, Walt Kelly…

Writing to you from hell (Chicago)

I was sick to my stomach last night, and amazingly, it was’t all of the Jameson I had to drink. You would think that an event of last night’s magnitude would rock this city, but outside a small percentage, you wouldn’t have known anything was going on…maybe I was just blacking it out. One thing is for certain though: Of the people that did know it was game night, I have never seen so many BRAND NEW Reebok ‘Hawks sweaters in my life. You’d think an original six team might have more vintage sweaters, but I guess the fact that Reebok monoolized the industry after the Blackhawks got decent combined with the fact that 99% of these fans are bandwagoning lead to that. Okay, that’s all folks of my hungover venting.

I'm glad

I came back to STL for the weekend because I want to be in Chicago for as little time as possible during these playoffs. Fuck all the bandwagoners and dumb bitches who have no idea what hockey is except “Seabrook/Kane/whoever is sooo hot.” I seriously hope the Hawks get their asses handed to them the rest of this series.

Why is it that only threads in which the word "Chicago" is mentioned...

…get the friggin’ Air Jordans spam bomb?

Aw, never mind… I just answered my own question.

Yes, I made it home all right last night, all the way back to ~~Hooterville~~ Gillespie… fell asleep dreaming about the chick in the black dress and the chick in the black-and-white dress kissing like they were doing out on the patio…

Why is it

that bands feel the need to play loud enough to injure?
I will never understand.

I was wondering if you made it home since there was no prospect stuff. Had me a bit worried.

i feel your pain

lack of links, that is, not the dump..

well maybe the dump, it is memorial day weekend.

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.

a stake and a shake on your phone. ok now i;’m impressed

Steak and Shake has great food, but they're AWFULLY pricey...

…way too expensive for a lonely single guy on a very tight budget.

Bout to head down to enemy territory again for game 2

Dropped by SCH to say hello to the fellas and man are they gripping bad. They went straight for the Mason 5 hole zingers, usually it takes me a few posts to get them cranked up that good.

One SCH goof is already claiming victory and promising to rock their new SC gear at Card games. Gotta win it first last time I checked.

Go Flyers!!
