Monday Links: Further confirmation that Detroit is "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" edition

by Poor College Student on Jul 26, 2010 6:01 AM CDT

My internet blew up on Friday. Now it's Averagejoe's turn to have an internet fuck up.

Time for links? I think so.

Blues News:

My Blues eBay Find of the Week: This vintage Darin Kimble jersey.

NHL "News:"

Puck Daddy discusses further punishment against the Lamoriello's and the use of the contract rejection as a tactic for the CBA discussions.
Problem solved: When the news is slow, figure out witty methods of describing how slow it is.
More great commercials in NHL history.
Hildy passes along more news that Detroit is unclean. In the world of food service, the Joe Louis Arena has over half of their vendor's with "critical violations."
The ESPN write up concerning all those violations can be found here
We've all read about crappy homemade lettering jobs on jerseys found on eBay recently. However, the problem might be spreading to NHL.com

Other Stuff:

I always imagined this is how the Tour de France would end.
6 great reads that were originally hated.

Video:

Someone will have your links tomorrow. It'll either be me or Joe. Or...you could trade us in and go for what's in the mystery box!

I know we've done some Swedish Chef before, but have we made Chocolate Mousse yet?

"Near Mint Flawless Condition with No Signs of Wear No Rips Holes Tears or Stains!"

Which means Kimble didn’t fight in whatever game he wore it in. Or maybe he didn’t even play.

Otherwise, you could get that for MUCH more than under $45, right?

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.

OK, I do not want to eat

anything at venues in MI, FL, CO or CA. Some of these places had 100% violations. In Missouri we seem to do a much better job on the east side than west side of the state.

I had never seen any of those commercials. Thanks for the morning smile.

I was very proud of Scottrade's 0% ickiness level.

Little disconcerted at Philips’ level of 32%, though – which makes me feel better about eating mostly in the CNN Center before games. Their food service things are posted a lot more clearly.

Holy shit...

… doesn’t Florida have a food-inspection program?

I’m headed to Orlando in a few weeks. Suddenly I’m thinking that I need to bring my own food and water.

I have worked at many food packing plants . You people have no clue what’s in you food Like when i worked at a plant that made soft serve ice cream for places like Mc Donalds , Wendys , Burger king , Dairy Queen and any other place you get a ice cream cone . You have 1000 gallon tanks of product mixing and if you lift the lid on a hot summers day you will see 30/ 40 cock roaches some of them in the tank going around & around with the ice cream mix .

Back where the powder is stored mice and rats have eaten into the bags of whey and milk powder when i read the reports i laughed if only they knew

In college we went to

a slaughter house/meat packing plant.
To this day I cannot eat a hotdog.

We had to read fast food nation at LSU

Its a pretty cool book actually. Its mentioned meat packing and the horrible conditions that are usually found there.

Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.

I knew it was a film (never saw it)…but I didn’t know it was book. Didn’t really know anything about it until now. Might have to check it out.

Never saw the movie

The book is a bit more of a documentary style thing where it talks about fast food, the origins, how stuff is made, things of that nature. All the stories it uses to illustrate a point are pretty interesting.

Beware of the Frosty

I just can’t bring myself to drink one again . Years ago when milk prices went way up we started to use reclaimed milk in the what is that you might ask ?? Well you know the milk that the supermarkets don’t sell by the use date well the dairy will take that milk back and use it in Chocolate mix .

And i have seen and used the milk that has gone way past sour and yes chunky curds in it .
Good news is out of the 745 gallons of milk it takes only 245 is reclaimed and it is run back thru the pastureizer so all of the bad bacteria are dead and hey the Chocolate hides any foul taste so all good i guess . I just can’t bring myself to drink it
