Phineas and Ferb

It’s freaking hilarious. I watch it as I can find it. Definitely worth the watch if no one has seen it yet.

Barret Jackman is my hero.

Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.

It's educational as well.

Where else would you learn the name for the plastic bit on the end of your shoelace?

Agreed

Literally the only kids show I ever put on when I used to babysit last year, cause I enjoyed it just as much as the kids.

Is willing to go to the mattresses with the lot of yous.

Try Avatar: The Last Airbender

That kids show was the SHIT! (Stay away from the M. Night live action movie though… stay away as if it had AIDS… because it does…)

Best part of NHL 11

is listening to the announcers talk about Eric Brewer being the captain. And how Erik Johnson is going to take over that spot eventually

What, no Be a Pro mode for goalies?

That’d be fun. Also, the NAHL and USHL really lost out getting some advertising. Then again, those teams tend to switch towns every couple of years with few exceptions.

Let's Go Blues!
Support your local NAHL team. Seriously.

I keep seeing ads here for "Down With Detroit" apparel.

Unfortunately, they all seem to be of the “Down With” in the sense of “Who’s down with O.P.P.?” and not “Down With” in the sense of “Cartago delenda est.”

This is an unfortunate oversight that the company should rectify. They’d make far more money advocating for the city’s demise.

Let's Go Blues!
Support your local NAHL team. Seriously.

That's what makes it so realistic!

“Why are the Blues beating Roberto Luongo for the Stanley Cup?”

“It’s a requirement that he shows up in every Final to choke for one of the teams.”

“Then why is he choking for Detroit?”

“Because Fuck Detroit, that’s why.”

Let's Go Blues!
Support your local NAHL team. Seriously.

Every time I see a picture of Checketts my rage-o-meter goes up a few points.

As does my blood pressure. Oh well . . . NBD.

Both videos? Solid.
