Sunday Links: Vote Twist/Chase in '12 edition

by Poor College Student on Aug 1, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

Can former dominant tough guys just suddenly segway into politics? Apparently so, if you read into the links. Somebody give Stu Grimson a call.

Blues News:

Still combing the desert, even though the mainstream media seems to have "gone to plaid"

NHL News:

Tough guys and their hockey bloodshed seem to appeal to environmental types. Just ask new big wig in the Canadian Green Party, Georges Laraque.
So Taguchi has reached a 1 year deal with the San Jose Sharks.
Stan Bowman can officially weigh the numbers of Niemi vs. Turco or some other cheap veteran option. Antti Niemi has been awarded 2.75 mil in arbitration. Take it or leave it, Chicago. You can also trade it, too.

Other Stuff:

In grade school days, this city would have been first in line on "Reverse Alphabetical Day"
Even though Game Time's a hockey blog, even we all knew this would happen with Tim Tebow.
Speaking of college tackle football stars, the BCS is self aware.
And children are terrible at doing things.

Video:

We've recently been featuring "animals." We always find a way to feature "drunk." You folks enjoy.

Joe comes back tomorrow. I can only hope something exciting happens between now and then. Stick around to find out if it happens here.

I drive by Zzyzx Rd a lot here in the Mojave desert

first time I saw the sign I was going to Vegas and like WTF? I had to go back and drive out on it to see WTF. Nuttin but jackbunnies and coyotes out there. Great place to varmint call. An occassional sidewinder or horny toad if you’re lucky. Indians says a horny toad can tell you which way to go so I always pick them up and ask them for directions and set them back down to see which way I need to head.

I'm taking hockey related

suggestions for my Farmtown newest farm. Other 3 are:
Faceoff Fields
The Puck Stops Here
Zamboni Trail

Blane suggested Between Periods which wasn’t bad for an 8 yr old but having just finished that the connotation doesn’t sit well right now.

Its So time.

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.

Lisa Simpson is getting married today

Wish I had some piggie cuff links to wear today.

I just checked the Puck Daddy Rob Zombie story

I made the mistake of reading the comments. I don’t care, if you don’t like Rob Zombie YOU’RE wrong.

In the Lord's name, all asketh . . . Fuck Detroit.

Dude was spot on about the marketing of the NHL, too. And is an extremely talented artist.

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

That poor squirrel.

No other squirrels to show up and hold his tail while he puked.

^LOL^

just tree rats is all they are. Destructive little bastards. They chew my deer stands all to hell and drive me crazy when I bow hunt. They like to fight with the woodpeckers and can give even Woody a headache. I use a slingshot and hickory nuts to exact my revenge on them. When I can’t find any nuts I blunt them with a blunt tipped arrow. You ain’t never heard a squirrel chatter until he’s taken a blunt upside the head 40 yards off the ground.
