PrintI'm pretty busy this week — fall sports start and I have an entire preview edition to produce — so the links may be sparse this week. Don't like it? I'm sorry. (Not really).
Today, nothing is going on so you get some videos. Enjoy some catchy tunes to get you through the Monday's.
Oh and our open thread topic for today: Brett Hull is getting a statue outside the arena. What Blues player from the past should get the statue treatment next?
Videos
This song blew up this weekend. I first heard it on Friday morning, and then I saw it everywhere. It's a catchy tune — so much so that haveblue and Washoo passed it along. Lyrics, shockingly, are not safe for work.
Our second video is just as insane. Ol Dirty Bastard (RIP) singing Buttercup? Yes, please.

Is it sad that I hadn't heard that first song yet?
No? Good, because I don’t care.
It weren’t too bad.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
I love statues just as much as the next guy,
but personally I don’t think there should be another one until we can include The Cup over their head. Hopefully it’ll be one of Backes with it, though.

If it's a statue of David Backes, we have to show him with the Cup as it really happened:
Backes, holding the Cup in one hand and punching someone from Chicago or Detroit with the other while surrounded by a horde of strippers worshipping the ground he skates on. With requisite explosions and guitar solos.

Just look at the box from an old Duke Nukem game, you’ll get the idea.
Or the back cover art from the soundtrack album of the film “Heavy Metal”
gawd, I’m old.

It should also have ninjas cheering in the background. Just because.
I mean, hey, kids love ninjas, and ninjas love David Backes for his ability to destroy people with impunity.

Rec'd like Johnathan Toews!

I'd love to
see a statue of the Plager brothers all together.
Unger might be another but it seems the Blues washed their hands of him for some reason.

Rec'd like the fans in Philadelphia, circa 1968...

The Plagers — all three of ’em — were going to get my vote here as well.
Great minds think alike, I see… :)

Anyone catch this?
Apparently Philly’s making bloggers pay $300 for a business license regardless of your income from the website? What kind of BS is this?
Question – who puts down the $11 that they make from their blog on their taxes?

Not surprising that this is coming from Philadelphia...

Philadelphia is taxing bloggers. Which should be as lucrative as a tax on the Eagles’ Lombardi Trophies.
Clearly that’s the answer.

We don't need another statue
I’m cool with Bernie, Al, and Brett, but we don’t need another one until we can put one up for a sure-fire Hall-of-Famer hoisting the Cup

Referring to the "Open All Night" post from a couple of days ago...
“Open All Night” should be the Blues’ new goal music. Why? This scenario would occur:
1. Blues score a goal.
2. Horn sounds.
3. “YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHH! WE’RE GOIN’ TO THE LIQUOR STORE!” blasts through the arena.
How do we make this happen?

Rec'd like the liquor store in question.
PTMFUS!
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
It's a St. Louis band, it ties in with the arena's nickname, and who wouldn't love seeing the players at a liquor store?
Or at the very least, seeing CAM SMASH check the Dirt Cheap Chicken into a cooler full of King Cobra?

Count me in with the.....
“No more statues until its a player hoisting the Cup” crowd………
But let me throw this at you…….
What if that statue is Brewbot holding the Cup??…..After all if we pulled a miracle out of our ass and won this year he would be the first Blues Captain to win one……..
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..."
If that happens,
we could just have him stand on 14th & Brett Hull Way with The Cup for years to come. His contract’ll be up and it wouldn’t be that different from him on the ice.

My criteria
was “sure-fire hall-of-famer hoisting the Cup”, which would seem to eliminate the possibility of having a Brewer statue

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.
How about a replica of the Bermuda cup?

during the nhl’s first forray into eruo games. back when the blues dominiated them all! (ok there were only 4 teams and two of them were euros, but still)
