PrintJust when I got used to it being the 7th month, here comes August. Where has the year gone?
Blues news
Not a thing. Not a promotion schedule, not a trade, not a signing. All is quite down Brett Hull Way.
Hockey news
- ESPN looks at goalies and d-men. Jaroslav Halak gets some pub. [ESPN]
- Todd White is living Atlanta and joining the Rangers. [Blueshirt Banter]
- Kirk Maltby sucks, but old sportswriters who love things like "grit" want the Red Wings to keep paying him to do not much. [Detroit News]
- The Blackhawks may have given up the quest to repeat: Chicago maybe has signed Marty Turco. [Second City Hockey]
- Optimism runs high in the offseason, even in Edmonton. [The Copper & Blue]
Other links
- A bucket list is a list (duh) of things a person wants to do before the die. The Fuck-It List is a list (duh) a things this person doesn't care to do before they die. It's easier to set goals you know you'll achieve. [The Fuck-It List]
- CAPTCHA's, those odd words you have to type to prove you're not a spammer, have become an inspiration to a few artists.[CAPTCHArt]

From DJ: Fart jokes are always funny.
From Dan: Animal week may be over but we can still enjoy a song the references an animal. Wait it's not about an animal ...
Maybe some more stuff later — who knows. Just check back early and often.

Yes. Primus. Fucking awesome.
“Wynona loved her big brown beaver and she stroked him all the time. She pricked her finger one day and it occurred to her she might have a porcupine.”
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
They themselves may have been on several of those.
I mean, they did release an album called Pork Soda. That seems directly from either an acid trip or a fun night with shrooms.
They’re still awesome.

I remember....
when that video came out…..I was still in High School…….
God Im fucking Old……..
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
At least..
You knew they had a videos. I liked the band long before I even knew there were videos to go with some of their tunes.
My name is Mudd. But at least I’m not at the DMV.
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Eh, I was in the Air Force when it was released.
I was in Italy at the time. Nice place, Italy.

Hopefully you had the bottom bunk.
‘Cuz if you had the top bunk, then you had to make both beds. That’s regulations.
Shh! We don't talk about top bunk rules in public.
It’s a secret.

I always wanted to make a living off what I do best. Unfortunately no one will pay me to jerk off all day so I had to settle for bass guitar.
-Les Claypool
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.
I should rec this . . .
but I won’t. A bit too creepy.

Could be worse.
Could be “The perky and energetic Chris Pronger.”

EJ signs for two years
good to see
Now to wait for terms…
Breaking News: I'm currently in the process of writing "I will not say and/or type "that word" 1,000 times.
if it's really $5.2M total, we got a bargain.
that’s awesome. also awesome to see turco become a hawk because we’re gonna light him up like a cotdamn christmas tree.
Next in the Nate the Great mystery series: Nate the Great searches for a free-agent forward who doesn't blow dicks.

Blackhawks confirm Turco signing, walk from Niemi
The last 8 times the Blues played against the stars, 6 of them were against Turco. The last 6 times the Blues played against Turco, we won 5 of them.
Can’t wait for some more of this, a little bit of this, and definitely this.
Welcome to the Central, Turco.
The Hawks are nuts...
Choosing a washed-up Turco over a just-coming-into-his-prime Niemi is just plain stupid.
If the Blues didn’t already have Halak and Conklin locked up for this coming year, I’d say go grab Niemi right effin’ now…

all i want
is to be in the stands while we scream, “TURRRCOOOOO, TURRRRRCOOOOOO”
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.
Sooo happy to see Cap'n 5-Hole in Chicago.
Thrashing the Blues
SB Nation Atlanta - home of the Fairest and Weatheriest fans on the net.
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.
Oshie...
Seems to like Turco. High glove side anyone?
Straight from the crazy unfiltered mind of a fifteen year-old Blues fan.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
The Hawks are fucked!!!!!
Or should I say Turco’ed!!!!
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
One more thing...
What in the blue hell is this “the lice hate the sugar” thing?
Is this another one of you whippersnappers’ pop-culture references that I’m too old / out of it to get?
’Splain, por favor…

I need to rent the movie too TB
fuckin Greek to me around here sometimes
Then agin, I sure some of my ramblins leave a few scratching their noggins.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
This movie was made before the Broken Lizard folks were ruined by their involvement in the Dukes of Hazzard remake.
A hilarious movie. And very quotable.

Hey averagejoe
…life, like toilet paper, goes quicker at the end!
I know you’re a whole lot younger than me, I just love that joke.
The whole flipping decade is coming to a close. It’s seems like we just got here!
peace anthony
ps…yeah, Primus!
i'm officially coining the phrase
Martyrdom Turco.. it just seems to fit with the hawks offseason thus far.

So, umm...
… when do the media polls come back?
When people stop bitching about 'em, I suppose.
