I'll take Spock for the win, Alex...

Paper cannot disprove Spock… only Spock can disprove Spock.

And Spock’s copper-based Vulcan blood poisons any Terran reptile with iron-based blood.

A variation of the classic game which uses two of the most powerful people on the planet, Chuck Norris and Bruce Campbell. Bruce Campbell beats Chuck Norris as he has a more powerful chin(thats the reason Chuck Norris has a beard, to hide his inferior chin). Chuck Norris beats Bookshelf as he is able to beat anything, and Bookshelf beats Bruce Campbell as Bookshelf is his only weakness. Some may say that the Bookshelf could be hired by Chuck Norris to defeat Bruce Campbell, but Bruce Campbell could have just hired Mr.T to get the Bookshelf in a never ending cycle…

so soupy is chuck’s kryptonyte? who knew??

i’mma going to watch bubba-ho-tep and good guys wear black on the same tv at the same time, and see what happens.

plus i kinda wanna see ossie davis take on dana andrews as part of the undercard

The things I do to watch Blues hockey

I was stuck at work last night and when I checked the EVO phone I saw it was 1-1 going into the turd period and I just had to watch. The only problem was I had a fire chief , 2 captains and 2 rescue squadies breathing down my neck to get the rescue squad headsets fixed. I barricaded myself in the bathroom and turned down the volume and everything was fine until Dags scored and I let out a yelp. One of the firemen heard the commotion and asked if I was okay through the door. Then the chief showed up and asked how much longer I was going to be. So till the end of the game I had to grunt and groan like I was giving birth. Finally the game ended in a win and I had to stifle myself from any victory celebration. I finally opened the door after a squirt of air freshener to help sell my story and I blamed a bad Chinese lunch for the long delay. Close call but I made it.

that was almost

a top ten “worse blues win ever” (#1 is still an old shark game where pronger scored with less than 2 minutes left as the then patetic sharks managed a full lock down trap for 58 minutes)

however. those two goals should be hanging on the art museum wall.

i guess that shows how far gone the panthers are: at home, playing most of the game better than the oposition they end up with zero points.

You got that right

a win is a win,

i dont understand the whole this is a should be win…the worst team in league on any given night can take down the best

the point is

an entertainment industry. yes, having the sharks piss me off for 58 minutes is BAD

winning, good.

worse win is better than the best loss but still

last night? no blues at all on the ice for 40 minutes is supposed to make me happy?

IT DOES NOT!

nor does it want to tell my wallet to buy more tickets :)

That has to be the greatest hack ever.

Although it’s hell on the goalies, I just use the auto control and let it rip. I lost my first game 9-8 to Montreal, but it’s been over a decade since I’ve played it on a regular basis.
