Dear Farts,
I’m a beautiful young woman trapped in an abusive marriage to a much older man. My husband drinks a lot, and consorts with other women, and is generally a terrible low-life. I would try to leave him, but I’m afraid he’ll kill me. What should I do?
Diana, New York NY
Dear Diana,
Wow. That sounds like you’ve got a real problem there. Um. You say your husband is older. How much older? Maybe you should just hope that his advanced age and hard-living ways will catch up to him?
–Farts
Dear Beaks,
I work in an office that’s rife with gossip. The bosses don’t do anything to discourage people talking about their colleagues behind their backs; in fact, I sometimes think the bosses encourage that kind of culture in order to better keep tabs on their reports. I otherwise like the job a lot, but I’m growing increasingly uncomfortable about all the interoffice chatter. What should I do?
Nathan, Evanston IL
Dear Nathan,
Ugh, I totally know what you’re talking about! People here are always being all per se this and per se that. My advice is, they’re going to talk about you anyway, so you might as well have fun doing it. Go out and crash a frat party or two. I’m pretty sure it won’t effect your job performance. I hope it won’t effect your job performance…
–Beaks
Dear Farts,
Your response gave me such hope that there might be a light at the end of the tunnel for me! I’m dabbing prettily at my tears right now just thinking of it. I’m really quite young and voluptuous, and I’ve made such a terrible mistake binding myself in matrimony to such a monstrous ogre. Do you really think there’s any chance that he might die soon? Because that really would solve all my problems.
Diana, New York NY
Dear Diana,
Oh no. Don’t cry. That makes me very uncomfortable. As far as I know, everybody dies. Especially mean old men. So I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen eventually for you. But, uh… when you say you’re young and voluptuous, how young and voluptuous are we talking about?
–Farts
Dear Beaks,
My young children are desperate to get a dog like all their friends, but I’m afraid they’re not responsible enough yet, and I’m not interested in the care that a dog requires. What pet would you recommend to appeal to children but be low-maintenance?
Babs, Sparta NJ
Why are you asking me? I don’t know anything about pets for small children. Oh, right, I’m kinda the advice giver heree. [Shrugs]. Just, you know, do whatever.
– Beaks
Dear Farts,
Very.
Diana, New York NY
Dear Diana,
Ulp.

Dear Beaks,
I’m planning a wedding with my fiance, and we’ve hit an irreconcilable dispute. You see, he wants to use his grandmother’s silver napkin rings at our reception, but I’ve already picked out gold flatware. Is it okay to have clashing metals in the place settings at the reception, or will that completely doom our marriage?
Andrea, Manassas VA
Dear Andrea,
What’s the problem? You are totally making a molehill out of something small here. I mean, just have a party. With tables. And napkin rings. And flatware. Like, just relax. I don’t see a problem. It’s napkin rings and flatware. It’s not a problem.
–Beaks
Dear Farts,
So can you help me? Can you help me find a way out of my marriage?
Diana, New York NY
Dear Diana,
Yes. Yes I can. But you have to promise me that in the very unlikely event that anyone figures out I was the one responsible for, uh, solving your problem, that you’ll confess everything to the police.
–Farts
Dear Beaks,
Remember that time with that girl and her husband and the murder and all that? Remember that? I, um… think I may have done it again. Help?
Farts, Sing Sing NY
Dear Farts,
Sorry, I’m in the Bahamas with this hot chick, Diana. I’ll see what I can do for you when I get back.
–Beaks

Hey Furry Canes, apparently taking penalties in important games against the Bruins isn’t good. Ask the Habs.
Dear mcguffers,
We think that was more a symptom of the Habs sucking than the Bruins PP being good. But we appreciate your advice.
–The Furry Canes
Dear Furry Canes,
True. The Habs blow. And that’s a good reason not to be like them. So… Stop. Taking. Penalties. You Fuckballs.
Hugs and kisses,

Dear mcg,
Honestly, you think the Bruins are capable of scoring tonight? Are you watching the same Bruins we are?
No worries,
The Furry Canes
Dear mcg,

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Farts isn’t too smart, is he?
[Shrugs]. Just, you know, do whatever.
My favorite advice.
Okay, that’s the funniest play-by-play call of a hold I’ve ever heard — Jack Edwards calls, “LaRose goes down, and he got Ryder’s stick in front of him!” Riiiiiight.
:^::::::::::::::::::::: to both of you!
And I had the game on in the background of SATC so they now have my full attention. And I don’t trust the Bruins to lose.
(Sorry y’all had to come get me from the other thread. )
Farts isn’t too smart, is he?
Heh. No, he’s really not. Poor guy. But Beaker’s really good at giving advice, isn’t he? That’s also the kind of advice I like to give. :D
Farts isn’t too smart, is he?
We asked the hypothetical question at work “Would you rather be smart or beautiful?” So now when ever anyone says anything completely stupid, we look at them and say in a soothing voice, “You’re pretty.” I think Farts is pretty.

(It’s appropriate for Farts, actually, because we have a long-standing joke about him. kristin, when we first started becoming fond of the Flyers, asked us who we thought was hott.

Sorry, I had to pop into say I got a retread of a “pure, true love” comment on my blog! Hee! Except this time about PS I Love You! The hell?
This is a stupid question, but who are Beaks and Farts?
By the way, off topic, it should be mentioned that I fully expect to hear within the week that Getzi had to have flu surgery, and that’s why he was so bad tonight.
Caitlin, you’d make your life a lot easier if you’d just learn what pure, true love feels like.
Oh, and I meant to add — Beaks and Farts are Mike “Beaker” Richards and Jeff “Farts” Carter. We like to call them Beaks and Farts, and someday hope to get a kitten that we can name “Beaksandfarts”.
Also unrelatedly, you know what’s really tasty? A slushie made out of strawberries, prosecco, and peach sorbet. We’re toasting the demise of the Caps, and it’s DELISH.

Oh, this makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW. Okay. (I clearly have a massive gap in my IPB Knowledge. Must fix this….)
you really have a problem with the “pure, true love” thing, don’t you? :P
Hey, just call me Miss Havisham! I’ll be the one in my musty dining room, staring at my rotted wedding cake. Except since I’ll have never known pure, true love, it’ll have to be a wedding cake I bought myself, just so I could torment myself that I would never know the beauty of EVERLASTING LOVE.
Chad LaRose is foxy with all the work he’s been doing!
Rosebud’s no Looch. :P
OT might kill me.
This sucks. I hate overtime.
That’s what makes him foxy!

Can I just say that I hate Versus? And Time Warner, again? Every channel on our cable system is working, except for the sports channels.
In other news, I really like the name “Frantisek”.

Larose: “I’m gonna go ahead and take that as a compliment.”

WRONG! :PPPP
Did Good Charlotte totally just take credit for Looch’s goal?
Oh, and “the home team has won 15 of 30 games.” Really? We’re gonna use that stat to mean something? Cause, ya guys know that means the games have been split 50/50 right? As in, it doesn’t seem to matter if you’re home or away.
mcguffers, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
(And I’m TOTALLY taking offense at Savard claiming credit for Looch’s awesomeness.)
Rats. Our satellite blinked out thanks to rain, so now we’re stuck listening to Pierre instead of Jack Edwards. Yeah, that’s just how bad Pierre is.
I never get tired of hearing Jokinen’s name. As in, I’m only Jokinen.

Now THIS is good hockey. :D
This game is too tense!
Is LaRose a UFA this summer? Me want-y!
Jeebis. “Grey’s Anatomy” is killing everyone off and this game is batshit.
Is Grey’s Anatomy still around?
Shockingly yes, Patty. I watch it about once a month. Izzie and Alex are married, but she’s got cancer. Mer and Der are getting married, and Ellen Pompeo looks normal because she’s pregnant in real life. George is in the army and Callie’s a lesbian.
And speaking of drama, we’ve got a missing teen up here that everyone’s pretty sure is a run away. Well I guess there was a sighting of her in South Carolina (where she supposedly went) because the news just showed a shot of a police car outside a convenience mart. The town is called Horry, but when I looked up quick, I thought the car said Horny Police. That seems like it would be inappropriate.
That seems like it would be inappropriate.
As inappropriate, as say, The Lady Boner Police?
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to both sets as inappropriate police!
Also, this game? Is awesome.
Yeah, especially if you’ve seen some of my area police officers. What’s the opposite of lady boner?
When the Horny Police get involved in missing teen cases, it’s ALWAYS big drama. And then when the Lady Boner Police get mixed up in it, all hell breaks loose.
Poop.
I’m sorry, did I say it was awesome? Turns out I wanted the Bruins to win. Huh.
I can’t believe they just beat Boston. Bummer Boston fans. I know how it feels.
I don’t think there are any actual Boston fans here, but I did want them to win more. Heh.
WOO! *ducks tomatoes*
One of the few games where I feel sorry for the loser, even though I wanted the winner to win.
Woo! I just saw Beard of Bees! SWEET!
I don’t know about this Walker guy. He ducked all his pals when they tried to hug him!
*ducking behind Patty to avoid tomatoes*
Okay. Who has a doggie door that big? They might as well just leave the door open!
I was about to compliment Looch for his awesome jump chest bumps, but then I was reminded that Jonesy likes him. One step forward, six jumps back.

Yeah, that was lame.

It’s napkin rings and flatware. It’s not a problem.
Somewhere out there, Sandra Lee just passed out (and not in a drunken stupor – this time) over Beaks’ lack of caring over whether the napkin rings match the flatware. Doesn’t Beaks know it’s all about the tablescape?
Beaks disrespect of tablescapes is totally shocking. I’m sure Sandy is knocking back bottles of vodka over it as we speak!
Holy flirking schnitt — NBC isn’t airing any of the Penguins games?!? Geez Louise, NBC, the Canes aren’t that bad! Also, an Original Six match-up and a Winter Retread re-match are not as appealing to the casual fan as they’d like to think. Also, what’s with all the breaks in action?! Not cook, NHL, not cook at all!
Good morning, everybody! And yeah, what is UO with the crazy, dirge-like pacing of these conference finals? Just reading the schedule I find myself thinking, “Yeesh. Aren’t these series over yet?” Heh.
Also, I want to go on record before the Hawks/Wings series starts that I don’t find any added interest in an Original Six matchup. Psst, NHL — the first expansion was 42 years ago. That’s well before many hockey fans were born. You sound like baseball when you get too hung up on the romantic, hazy olde days. /grumpy
I thought NBC hated the Devils so no Devs/Canes, but NBC also avoided the Bruins/Canes like the plague. Now no Sid the Kid on NBC? NBC must have some old Whalers fans with grudges scheduling the hockey.
Yeah, the Canes are, apparently, JUST. THAT. BAD. :P
It just occurred to me that are two more series. This has been the longest playoffs ever. Ever.
I agree, mcguffers. It feels like we should be halfway through the Finals by now. It seems like forever ago that the Devils were playing in the first round.
Geez Louise, NBC, the Canes aren’t that bad!
Maybe they’re afraid of frightening small children with the image of Rod the Bod?
Speaking of Rod the Bod, what happened to him last night? The TSN announcers kept saying he was off and not doing faceoffs, but they never said why.
It just occurred to me that are two more series. This has been the longest playoffs ever. Ever.
It’s been rough, that’s for sure. Of course, the majority of the heinous teams are gone now, so I’m hoping it won’t be quite as bad as the last two years, where things just kept getting increasinly horrible with each passing game. That said, these series, no matter how zippy or truncated, game-wise, are still going to go at a snail’s pace. I just don’t get the NHL.
Speaking of Rod the Bod, what happened to him last night?
He took a puck to the face on the bench. Catastrophically so, it would seem. It might have knocked the ugly off him! :P
Also, an Original Six match-up and a Winter Retread re-match are not as appealing to the casual fan as they’d like to think.
I feel like I could write a BOOK on this subject. Who gives a FRICK about Original Six teams? It’s the most arbitrary reason to look forward to a matchup I’ve ever heard.
And don’t get me started on the fact that to get to the “Original” six, they had to expand!
I heard Maurice saying that The Bod got stitches and would have come back out but didn’t get finished in time. But that they were still going to evaluate him to make sure it was nothing more serious than a laceration.
Thank you, Patty! Sometimes I think I’m committing some kind of heresy when I yawn at the notion of Original Six teams being more interesting, in the present day, than their “expansion” counterparts, but honestly! Looking at the last decade, the only one of them that’s managed to be newsworthy in a good way is Detroit. Of course, Versus has been using those Great Hockey Moments to sell the game during intermissions, so maybe the Original Six hook is exactly the thing they want to draw in the casual octogenarian fan they so obviously desire.
So it wasn’t NJ, it was the ‘Canes? They hate the ‘Canes so much they will boycott Sid and the Pens??? The NHL is allowing NBC to avoid the ‘team of destiny’? Pierre may kill himself.
Actually….that’s a plus.
Nevermind.
so maybe the Original Six hook is exactly the thing they want to draw in the casual octogenarian fan they so obviously desire.
The “Original Six” idea has to be a league talking point. The idea of 2 or more of the O6 teams making the Conference Finals was an over/under on PTI yesterday (which surprisingly has been doing a decent job talking hockey). Where else would they get the idea from if not from a league release?
Yeah, the whole Original Six thing is lame. But I’m actually totally looking forward to the matchup anyway.
And even outside the O6 thing I do think it’s a good thing for the NHL to have that matchup what with the divisional rivals, nearby cities thing. And after all it is a business and ratings do matter, so having Detroit and a resurgent large hockey market playing each other has to be kind of a wet dream for them TV-wise.
Oh, I’ve got no beef with the appeal of a Detroit/Chicago matchup. It’s definitely an exciting one for a lot of different reasons. The fact that they’re both O6 teams, however, is not one of them. :P
Yeah O6 is a farce and an arbitrary marketing tool.
Especially since the Cup has the Seattle Metropolitans, Kenora Thistles and Quebec Bulldogs. Not to mention more Ottawa Senators then Chicago Blackhawks or Broons…
Especially since the Cup has the Seattle Metropolitans, Kenora Thistles and Quebec Bulldogs.
Surely the Maroons are on the Cup somewhere, too! :D
Yeah, I’m actually looking forward to the Detroit/Chicago series. Like you say, though, not because they were O6 teams. (I wish Chicago would wear their Winter Classic unis, though. I really liked those.)
Especially since the Cup has the Seattle Metropolitans, Kenora Thistles and Quebec Bulldogs.
The League: “Ummm… no it doesn’t.” *Shifty eyes* “What are you talking about? Shut up! Go away! Leave me alone!”
I was just talking to my coworker, who is the classic casual fan. I couldn’t remember who Chicago just knocked out (too much aspartame), so he was guessing. Avs? Wild? I’m like, at least guess some teams that made the playoffs!
Anyway, the reason I bring him up is because he found it fascinating that in the Pens/Canes series there will be brothers playing each other. He actually said, “Did you know that there’s a guy on the Carolina team who has a brother on the Pens?!”
I guess that’s why they never stop pointing it out.
Yeah, Montreal alone has 5 or 6 different teams on the Cup. The O6 is piffle, I say! PIFFLE!
I believe there are a few ‘other’ teams through the late 20’s, several years into the O6 era…
Dammit. I can’t believe you just produced evidence that there’s a good reason to beat the “The Staals Are Brothers! OMG!!!!” storyline into the ground. That blows.
The O6 is piffle, I say! PIFFLE!
Them be fightin’ words!
Oh, and sorry, alix, that I forgot it was Vancouver! It just slipped my mind! I couldn’t remember ANY of the teams that were knocked out in the first. I really need to break my Diet Coke habit or I’ll start getting lost going home.
That blows.
I KNOW! *Monica voice*
I really need to break my Diet Coke habit or I’ll start getting lost going home.
I’ve had ONE Diet Coke this entire week, and that with that one, I was just in it for the flavor. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s easy to break that habit if you go in for fizzy water! :D
As soon as my vacation is over, I’m definitely going to do it. But I don’t want to spend the whole week wishing for a Coke instead of sitting and staring at the wall like I planned. :D
I think a vacation without Diet Coke is a vacation not worth living. :P
I’m going to start referring to the O6 as the Piffle Six.
Am I the only one here that drinks regular Coke?
Did anyone else get the NHL Fan Faceoff survey where they’re trying to judge interest in what matchups would be interesting in the SC Finals? If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d be mighty suspicious of questions like that.
Yeah, Amy, I was chortling while answering that survey. I also couldn’t truthfully say that I was all that excited. Heh. Oh well.
I’m going to start referring to the O6 as the Piffle Six.

Man! What a bummer last night! Carolina and Detroit advance?! What kind of shit is that?!

Me neither, Patty! Stupid west coast…er…conference bias.
It’s only 1:00 and I’ve hit the end of the internet. This week has been killer! KILLER!

The kind of shit where I’m not consulted by the hockey gods. Or, the NHL, if that’s who is deciding this. But, I don’t think they would have chosen Carolina.

I know I’m late on this but I too can’t stand the Piffle Six! The P6 era was only for 25 years, less than a third of the league’s existance. Three of the teams are not original, hell the Rangers ain’t even the original New York team!
Having said that, I am still all over Chicago/Detroit.
Now let me add something new. My wife is a labor lawyer and she fights the fight for the unions. Last night she was pulling for Detroit mostly to uplift that poor city. I told her that on top of everything else, the Ducks played in the Honda Center, and her eyes narrowed. Detroit scored the game winner soon after.
They probably know that the Sharks fans are still pissed about being the butt of this year’s conspiracy plan. :D
Haha…And here I thought that Detroit was always the conspiracy victims. At least that’s what their fans would have you think.
The NHL doesn’t know my alliances. They wouldn’t allow me to select more than one favorite team when I set up my profile, so I left it blank. Maybe that’s why they dno’t send me anything. They think I’m non-committal.
I’m going to start referring to the O6 as the Piffle Six.
I think Cranky Stan Fishler should be the only announcer to ever speak about the Original 6. and only when he’s talking directly to Doc. and Chico’s hair piece.
or if anyone else mentions it, Stans picture should pop up in a bubble in the upper right of the screen. maybe in the Buddy Jesus pose.
as far as soda, all i drink is Ginger Ale and an occassional Cream Soda or Birch Beer. the Original 6 of carbonated drinks.
I’ve hit the end of the internet
i bet all thats out there is more porn and discount meds from canada. and Steve Cangialosi’s blog.
And here I thought that Detroit was always the conspiracy victims.
That’s so true. Even when they win it all, they act like they managed to break a conspiracy.
I was part of that panel for about 2 years and then they stopped sending me surveys.
It was funny – I told them from the start that I had worked in Market Research and that should have kept me out from the start, but they let me in, then, they just stopped sending me surveys. I must have said something they didn’t like. Or I fell out of the demographic (I may have gotten too old – I am 45 in less than a month).
only when he’s talking directly to Doc. and Chico’s hair piece.
I wonder if Chico’s hairpiece can speak on its own. Is that what has been making excuses for Marty all those years? Has the hairpiece taken over and Chico can’t really speak anymore?
Or I fell out of the demographic (I may have gotten too old – I am 45 in less than a month).
When I sign up, I might need to lie about my age.
And I’ll claim I’m a Red Wings fan and they’ll think I’m the highly-coveted “casual fan” and I’ll infiltrate them. I’ll spend all my surveys voting against the shootout!
