Wednesday Links: Scott Nichol Is Interrupting Your Poop Edition

“Sound Back-checking by Scott Nichol is better than a sound-checking Nickleback”

#Boom

We’d still have to send Chris Porter back to the Rivermen.

guy for me to root for. Nichol listed at 5-9 and 178lbs means he’s probably much closer to 5-7 and 165. I always find myself gravitating to those as some of my favorite players. Ronning being on of my all time faves.

There are always accidents at the intersection of my street and Telegraph in Arnold. This sounded different. A much quieter skidding and thump not the squealing and metal screeching crash. Ran outside (this was about 6:50am this morning just after son #1 got on the bus) to see a dead deer laying in the middle of my street, a woman (who I knew) on the cell phone and another woman and a man hunched over an unconscious guy.

Two little girls looking terrified in the car which was a kilter across my street. I tapped on the window and asked the girls if they were ok. Their mom was looking pretty white too. She was going the opposite direction of the motorcycle and managed to miss all 3. She and the other woman I knew (who was behind the motorcycle) said the deer jumped right out in front of the bike and all 3 went flying through the air.

After about 5 min the man started moaning and trying to sit up even though we kept trying to keep him still. He kept asking ‘what happened’. Man was his face and one of his legs torn up with road rash. I think he’ll be ok.
Since he was sitting up a guy slid him a few feet into the middle of a lane instead of on the middle yellow line. Then moved his bike. I started directing traffic slowly around the guy until fire/police/ambulance arrived.
I’m taking the parts I found to the place they towed the bike. I found the keys in the grass on the side of the road among other items.

It’s hard to tell from the picture but it is a BIG doe. This is after the police dragged it onto the corner of my yard to get it off the street. When I was taking son #2 out to catch the bus at 7:45 an Arnold city truck came by, not to get the deer mind you, but because they heard what happened and wanted to see how big the deer was!! I told them if word travels that fast (less than an hour) in the city of Arnold I better not come home from work to find the deer still there!

But the shifts he disturbs couldn’t be bigger

…such a damn shame. I posted this over on the NextSTL.com forums (if you haven’t seen this site, but love St. Louis and the potential it has — check it out), but he was a man who was putting his personal stamp on an entire city…something most men are afraid to do.

I stood in front of this piece in amazement for about fifteen minutes on a walkaround one day:

It’s at the Trailhead Park on the North Riverfront, just north of Laclede’s Landing/Lumiere/Four Seasons, tucked behind the old Laclede Power Center. Built into the underside of a walking bridge.

is amazing.

He’s such a fucking prick. There is no doubt in my mind that he couldn’t care any less about Perron. And he may be saying he likes what Shanny is doing right now but the second he gets in any sort of trouble I guarantee he changes his tune. In summation. Fuck Joe Thornton, and I still wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.
