I don't know what happened yesterday — I got the day of the week wrong, the video wrong and forgot to do laundry. Rough day. Let's hope I don't have to use my AK today.

Videos

Here's the video I promised yesterday — Gallagher and I have a shared sense of humor, do you share it? Find out. Language not clean.

And we'll close it out with some music. Mr. Donut King suggested some Rush. I suggested Tom Sawyer, since I live in Hannibal. Done and done.

More stuff today. You'll like it.

Clarke MacArthur - ATL walks away?

Now he knows what all those buffets in Buffalo felt like over the past two years. If St. Louis wants an uninspired forward with a penchant for untimely goals they can either sign this scrub or find out if Donald Audette is still skating.

You are a cock,

$2.4 MM doesn’t buy that much anymore.
How good does DP_57’s deal look now?

Joel Quenneville may have won the Cup, but that didn’t stop some kids (or Patrick Kane) from TP’ing his house.

I swear to Aisha

If this Kovalchuk thing means we have to suffer through another month of this Kovalchuk crap I am going to brain someone. I cam so sick of this crap I can not even begin to put it into words. The guys is a one way player who has no interest in being a team player. End of. Sign him, don’t sign him, I don’t care. Just hurry the hell up and do it.

Barret Jackman is my hero.

Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.

Oh, I don't know...

… this beats the hell out of summer reruns.

I also haven’t had to spend any time wondering what a guy whose momma named him after a Chrysler LeBaron was doing on his summer vacation.

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.

Before Big League Chew

There was these huge chunks of gum called “Mouthful”, bout the size of a bar of soap and they had several different flavors. My buddy Kurt got caught with one in his mouth in 6th grade and the teacher had a policy of you had to wear your gum on your nose all day if caught. The wad of gum was so big you could hardly see Kurt’s face.
