The 2 dudes in the corner throwing shit are the gallagher brothers from Oasis, whom ive heard are the 2 biggest douchebags you are gonna meet. It took me a minute to figure out who they were and why they were in the biggest den of scum and villainy in the galaxy.

Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.
So yeah
Went to BWW last night after work to watch the game, they had baseball on in the background with the audio feed from that but I had the big projection screen playing a HD feed of hockey so I was in pretty good shape. Ordered some wings was hanging out doing fine. Then chi scored like 3 goals in the first period and leighton looked terrible. I was considering staying and getting some more food, watching the rest but I once that first period happens you gotta unjinx that shit. My god did the Flyers look bad, Mason would have put on a freaking clinic that game, maybe given up 1 soft goal and we would have hated him for it.

It's amazing what happens when Prongs has a bad game.
He has a bad one, and the whole team folds; Buff has a bad one and Chicago plays for shit. These might be the worst SCF I have ever watched. Shitty goaltending from both teams, the defensive depth of a puddle, and the guys who are supposed to be there to play and kick ass – other than Pronger – are sitting there with their thumbs up their ass instead.
Maybe my perception’s just skewed by the fact that I hate both teams, but I really enjoyed last year’s SCF more, and not just because Detroit lost on home ice. Both teams came to play – these guys? Pft.
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 can't believe that was literally the worst game of his career.
Part of me is amazed, and part of me wants to say “good timing, jackass.” But it gave us this golden quote from the presser: “I’m day to day with hurt feelings.” I love this guy.

I tend to use “The Safety Dance” for clearing out earworms. It tends to work since it doesn’t turn into an earworm itself.
Also, as said by my dad when he actually listened to the Blackhawks’ goal music for the first time last night: “Is that the theme to ‘The Courtship of Eddie’s Father’?” The beats are very similar.

See, the guy wasn’t really singing about anything in particular, he was just trying to ignore the midget dancing around him and forgetting that for one brief shining moment in the 1980s that the lead singer of Men Without Hats looked like the world’s tallest Emo Hobbit.

Kill yourself.
It’s the only way – trust me.
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!!!"
Yeah, why doesn't hockey get cool nerdy commercials?
For God’s sake, Canada, you’re the primary exporter of comedians to the United States (75m tonnes since 1750 according to totallymadeupstatistics.com)! If you combine the Just For Laughs cloning vats in Montreal (aka Les Clone-Vats Du Haha Du Montreal) with Vancouver’s cheaper-than-LA film sweatshops (or “Historic Olde Towne filme sweate-shoppes” when selling to moneyed clients, apparently the extra E’s allow you to charge more) then you should have some awesomely nerdy-cool hockey commercials at the rate of 25 to 50 a year!

Olde English Disagrees

They lowered the price?
That used to be one of the priciest malt liquors out there. Ah, for the days when Magnum sold at 99 cents for a 40, King Cobra came in at $1.29 and Olde English came in at $1.39… times have changed since my liquor store clerking days. Maybe the price increase was for the “800”?

That was sold only in packs of 4 16-ounce cans at $1.69. By volume, it was barely less expensive than Olde English, whose 64-ounce bottle chimed in at $1.99.
Yes, there are certain things I remember from my days as a Liquor Store Ninja. Stocking large numbers of malt liquor bottles is one of them. The other was comedy, like seeing the disappointment on people’s faces when they stumbled to our drive-up window, asked “How much your Big Bear cost? 79 cent?” and were told “We don’t sell Big Bear.” Nothing like watching an alkie cry and throw a fit so powerful that not only did he disrupt our drive-thru, he disrupted the KFC traffic and hardware store traffic with whom we shared a common parking lot. It was an epic I-can’t-get-no-cheap-malt-liquor tantrum. What wasn’t cool was the guy who drove up every Saturday morning butt-ass naked to order a single 24-ounce can of Budweiser. That was a downside to working the morning shift.
Now, as a respectable Paperwork Ninja, I drink Schlafly when I can, the mainstream stuff when I can’t, and Stag if I have to.

Yeesh.
I worked one summer for Brown Derby (the major liquor chain down in Springpatch). I didn’t get to work at any of the nice or close-to-campus stores, either – I got stuck in a shack next to a trailer park way the hell out on West Sunshine. We didn’t sell malt liquor in that store, but those rednecks sure loved them some quart bottles of Milwaukee’s Best.
Wait, residents of Springfield, Missouri use “Springpatch” to describe their town? I thought it was restricted to Springfield, Illinois.

Not sure about the lifers...
… I’ve only heard “Springpatch” from people who grew up somewhere else and moved there for school or other reasons. (See also “Springburg”, “Springtown”, “Springdale”, etc.)
Among the born-and-raised, the native accent flattens out the second syllable, so they’ll all tell you they live in Springfilled.
The local hoosiers call it "Springfilled, Mizzouruh."

What's the difference between Tiger Woods and BP?
BP only had to drill one hole before they fucked up…

Thank you… I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
