1-2-3 Hockey: 32 of 39
One of our favorite terrible pictures from our last 365 was a shot of Whole Foods brownie bites on the couch on ANTM night. And so tonight, on ANTM night, when we have Whole Foods brownie bites, we’ve staged a "fancier" photo shoot. In that we plated the brownie. And that we attempted focus this time.
Well. I think I got my teams all sorted. I think. And I’m in the Super League. Right. I need to remember that. Super League = That super high paying Russian League = run by the Russian Mafia (allegedly). Pretty sure I’ll be able to remember that now.
And hey, Taylor Pyatt got traded to an Eastern League team. Who knew?
Super League = That super high paying Russian League = run by the Russian Mafia (allegedly).
Ummm… no…? We, uh… don’t have any Russian Mafia money behind the SuperLeague? (Hey now — would the Russian Mafia have mandatory weekly staphylococcus meetings?)
Is tomorrow draft day?
Yes, Myra. Ready for it?
I was freaked out by that little girl walking the runway with Miss Jay last night. The girl had dead eyes.
Great game last night, although i was a bit dissappointed they didnt bust out the Glowing Tavares. If there was ever a perfect opportunity to bring back that beloved technology, last night was it.
I’m so ready for Draft Day!
Amy, I too was freaked out by that girl. She really did look dead. And short, which pretty much defeated the purpose of the whole thing.
KenF, if only Tavares was Gilroy, he’d glow on his own, without the help of technology!
KenF, :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I think Pookie’s right, though. If we’ve learned one thing from the Rangers preseason, it’s that you have to create your own glow. No one’s going to create it for you. In that respect, I think it’s safe to say that Tavares is a bust, and Gilroy is the greatest man to ever breathe.
Amy, that little runway girl was SO scary! But this is shaping up to be a pretty good season. I’m enjoying the mix of characters, now that the bitchery has been turned on its ear. Clever editing, ANTM producers! Turning Bianca from the wicked witch into the victim! Well played. :D
Glowing Tavares.
:^:::::::::::::::::: KenF, you’re a gem man. A real gem.
After listening to a few of Tavares’ interviews, the man is simply too dull to glow on his own. I think I mentioned it in yesterday’s thread, he may actually be Chris-Drury-level dull.
However, I think a Glowing Tavares is a fantastic idea, simply because it would make the Ranger announcers crazy and make them even more determined to hype Gilroy.
The Rangers announcers would just point out that anyone can glow, but only true earthly miracles can radiate, or as they say in Latin, Gilroyus.
Speaking of glowing, (as in guys who would probably make your urine glow if you slept with them) Timmy C sat in the section behind me last night. That man can wear definitely wear a suit.
Timmy C sat in the section behind me last night.
How’s he look: healthly or normal (aka mildly concussed)? Did he injure himself at all getting up and down the stairs? I’m thinking of picking him up with a late round draft pick in my tranny fantasy hockey league but Timmy’s the type of guy you don’t draft without getting a visual confirmation on. Would you say his mental faculties were strong to fairly strong?
Speaking of the draft, I just realized that the first Western Conference player who shows up on my default ranking is Corey Perry. I really need to fix that before the draft…
Timmy’s the type of guy you don’t draft without getting a visual confirmation on. Would you say his mental faculties were strong to fairly strong?
I would definitely go with healthy. We weren’t very far up, but I didn’t see any elevators or wet nurses near by, so I’m guessing he did the stairs by himself. He was laughing and smiling, but not in a crazy, decreased mental capabilities way. And he actually looks less fragile in real life. I was sort of shocked.
Besides the wheelchair he was sitting in and the neck brace he was wearing, I’d give him a clean bill of health! Oh, and the drool. That wasn’t a good sign.
I really need to fix that before the draft…
Oh come on Meg, where’s the CoreyPerry(!) love?
Seriously though…ranked above Getzlaf? That’s…odd.
Besides the wheelchair he was sitting in and the neck brace he was wearing, I’d give him a clean bill of health! Oh, and the drool.
Can’t ask for more than that! We are go for Timmy!
I think we need to define healthy.
Are we talking…
Healthy-Healthy?
Eric Lindros Healthy?
Or….
Brett Lindros Healthy?
While I doubt the CDC would ever use the term “healthy” for Timmy, I’d be okay with not ever having to play with a broken rib. Or concussed. And no spinal damage. Yeah, that’s a good start.
What time is the draft today, bored people want to know when they can start planning league domination.
I dunno. What time do you all want to have it? I was thinking tonight at some point, to give all the slackers a chance to finalize their rankings.
Besides the wheelchair he was sitting in and the neck brace he was wearing, I’d give him a clean bill of health! Oh, and the drool. That wasn’t a good sign.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I think a draft later tonight is a great idea. How about 7pm EST?
Tonight works for me for the draft! Of course, so does this afternoon, if everyone else wants it that way. I can’t access the SuperLeague at work, so it would all be a big, wonderful surprise. Heh.
Timmy C sat in the section behind me last night. That man can wear definitely wear a suit.
Most of them can. And that’s a very good thing.
I was also cracking up during last night’s game while reading a Buffalo News reporter’s Twitter postings about not getting his cookie in the press box during the intermissions because the Toronto hoardes grabbed them all.
How about 7pm EST?
Pshaw! That’s not even early evening! That’s only 4:00 WCB (West Coast Bias) time.
I was thinking more along the lines of 7:00 or 8:00 Pacific. That way all you ECers can fiddle with your lineups until beditme, then wake up to a full roster, like it’s Christmas morning.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, Pookie! Can’t you even make an effort to hide your East Coast Bias?
That way all you ECers can fiddle with your lineups until beditme, then wake up to a full roster, like it’s Christmas morning.
Well I do like Christmas morning!
Most of them can. And that’s a very good thing.
I saw the pictures of the red carpet event on the jumbotron. It looked like RoyZ stayed away from dressing like a fast food icon this year. And helloooooo Nathan Paetsch. (who played like a friggen rock star)
Yeah, Pookie! Can’t you even make an effort to hide your East Coast Bias?
Haha! Yeah! What she said!
Well I do like Christmas morning!
I know, right?! What’s not to like?
It looked like RoyZ stayed away from dressing like a fast food icon this year.
Aww, that’s always disappointing!
Well I do like Christmas morning!
It’s gonna be like Christmas morning for the Too Oranges in their first week against the Fire Clowns. A Christmas morning where you get a whole boatload of cool, new toys… and NO BATTERIES.

Ooooh, you gonna stand for that, Schnookie?
andrew, you’re the commish, so it’s your call! ::grumble WC grumble::

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Well, whatever the case, it’s going to be one lousy Christmas-in-September for them. The Too Oranges cannot be stopped! No matter who’s in our lineup, we’re just too good. (It’s all the vitamin C, I think.)

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::: I was gonna throw a “beat you too a pulp” joke in there, but I need a nap and I think the cleaning lady’s vacuuming the back yard, so my head’s not in it.
On a non-trash talking note, you guys get to watch Devils and Trannies tonight! Woo Hoo!! While I’m watching a 143 year old dog find his food dish! Opposite of Woo Hoo!!
WOOOO!!!
Draft Day is here!!!
The Pot Roasters are going to do some serious roasting of pots and roasts and …ya well… you know what I mean.
Gees, I’m a little rusty at this smack talk thing.
Also, we scored free tickets to tonight’s game!!! Ya’ll need to help me talk Patty into going with us! She thinks she needs to work. :(
but I need a nap and I think the cleaning lady’s vacuuming the back yard, so my head’s not in it.
Thank goodness, because I’m terrible at all this trash talk stuff, and quickly run out of steam. There was no way I would have been able to mount another comeback.

She thinks she needs to work. :(
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa??? And she’s been whining about how she can’t say anything about how the team’s looking this preseason because she hasn’t seen them. WELL HERE’S HER CHANCE!
Now, now. Sometimes watching the Devils is a lot like watching a 143-year-old dog find his food dish.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: But at least you have the Flyers, too. That’s like having a cute little puppy who keeps going to fetch the ball even when you don’t throw it.

I just took my second of two exams in two days, so it’s hard to explain where my thoughts are. But the cleaning lady (for the apartment building, not my own personal) is out back vacuuming the patio/driveway.
That’s like having a cute little puppy who keeps going to fetch the ball even when you don’t throw it.
Hee! That all depends on who’s in the lineup, of course. (I’m actually sadly incapable of seeing the Trannies as my tranny team when they’re playing the Devils. All bets are off for secondary teams when they come up against my primary team. But that said, I’m super excited for the game tonight!)

That’s the sound of Beaker’s heart breaking.
Did y’all see that Gretzky resigned?
And the next question should be, does anyone care?

Well, it’s his own damn fault for signing a bazillion-year contract with the Flyers. He knew what he was getting into! :P
Did y’all see that Gretzky resigned?

I’m shocked! SHOCKED! Heh. That’s some serious addition by subtraction for that franchise, though. Good for them! Although it’s sad for those of us who really love laughing at Gretzky.
Did y’all see that Gretzky resigned?
And the next question should be, does anyone care?
Are they even going to bother replacing him? Or just put up a dry erase board so players can keep track of who’s been out on the ice already.
I can’t decide if I’m going to miss seeing Gretzky singing “Coppa Cabana” from the bench or not.
I think not.
Rumors are flying about Tippett replacing him. I don’t like that idea one bit. I don’t want Tipp in our division!!! Pooh.
<i.Well, it’s his own damn fault for signing a bazillion-year contract with the Flyers. He knew what he was getting into! :P
Yeah, I mean, he was totally capable of waiting for free agency to sign with the Devils! :D

No kidding. ::pours a little sweater vest on the floor for him::

I cleaned my house today! Pulled my autumn duvet from the attic, did the laundry, and took down all the summer decorations and planned the autumn ones.
Oh sorry, you were saying something about Gretzky?
Morning guys. Well, I think in about 15 minutes the Motrin should be kicking in and I’ll feel fine. It’s been a tough morning.
But draft day at the Ookies is a real pick-me-up.
Also, I just have to share Mike’s observation about that balck bald chick on ATNM. He’s pretty sure that’s Wesley Snipes.
Heh.
Oh sorry, you were saying something about Gretzky?
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Oooh, feel better, Carol! Draft Day is no day for feeling under the weather! And you need to let Mike know that it had been bugging me since day 1 with Bianca on ANTM, but now he’s put his finger on it — Wesley Snipes! OF COURSE! We certainly haven’t ever seen them together. Until it’s proved otherwise, I’m going to have to assume they are the same person.

Or sucked up by the Leafs like the 57 other UFAs.
Alright, I better go make sure Old Dog Winter is still alive. Myra, tell Patty that a free ticket is like a sign from the Hockey gods that she is supposed to go to the game. If the Stars tank this season, it’s all on her.
UFAs
RFA. You know what I meant.
If the Stars tank this season, it’s all on her.
YEAH! She’s going to make them suck if she doesn’t go to this game!
I hope you feel better soon, Carol!
YEAH! She’s going to make them suck if she doesn’t go to this game!
I don’t want to seem unduly harsh, but they seem to manage the suckage fine without Patty’s contribution.

And even post-Gretzky the Yotes are a hot mess. They closed practice to the media today, which is a violation of NHL rules.

Ugh, oh god. I don’t even want to think about it. If I really think hard about the team this year… it would be one of those situations where you have to consider if you’re going to laugh or going to cry.
(Myra, I hope you and the Hub ROCK in the IPB Leagues! WOO!)
I hope you feel better soon, Carol!
The Motrin has officially kicked in. I’m good. Holy technical difficulties. Whoa.
Remember how I said laugh or cry? I’m going to cry. I’m going to pack up all my toys and sulk in the corner because Phoenix is hiring Tippett, per Wyshynski.
Oh, and Carol, get better soon! (Sorry to spam the IPB thread.)

Shoot. I’m right there with you.

Hold on, I’m sending you a box of tissues.
Bianca totally looks like Wesley Snipes! Good call, Mike! And Kara sometimes looks like Eric Staal in a wig. Buy sod!
Sorry about Tipp, Dallas fans!
Sorry about Tipp, Dallas fans!
At least he has a job. I felt really badly for Tipp and his family, because I’m a soft touch.
(Unlike Hull.)
Bianca totally looks like Wesley Snipes!
Are we talking everyday looking Wesley Snipes or Wesley Snipes in To Wong Foo? Because if she leans more towards the TWF Snipes, I will totally start watching ANTM.

Totally To Wong Foo Wesley Snipes, Caitlin! Even Ms. Jay basically called her a she-male in one of the first episodes. And that’s saying something.

It made me long for the days of Dominique. They should really do an ANTM All Stars season. With Jade, Dominique, “Bitch Poured Beer On My Weave” Girl, and the crazy chick who dropped out of this season.
Totally To Wong Foo Wesley Snipes, Caitlin!
Really? I’m totally tuning in now. That’s AWESOME.
I’m kind of hoping they do hire Tippett, because I want to see him show Gretzky how a team should be coached.
I might be crazy, though.
Sorry I can’t come to the game, Myra! I sure hope it doesn’t turn out to be the cause of any future Stars death spirals.

I can really see that particular relationship working out very well.
I sure hope it doesn’t turn out to be the cause of any future Stars death spirals.
Eh, I’ve been blatantly ignoring the preseason games (on purpose), so if they go into a death spiral, I suppose you could blame it on me.
Or we could just take the low…er, easy road and just blame Hull. It’s worked stupendously for me so far.. :D

I hadn’t thought of it that way. After watching Gretzky’s veins pop for the past few seasons, it would be fun to see Tipp make a go of them. And show a few people in Dallas something (yes, I’m looking at you, Nieuwy).
The game is probably going to stink but it’s live hockey and it’s free, so…
You make a good point about Tipp being in our division, though. It’s going to be especially painful if we’re tanking and the Coyotes are good.
D’oh! No draft results for me today! :( This means I’ll have to try to get up early tomorrow to check my team – but I’m thinking that seems unlikely…
D’oh! No draft results for me today!
Not quite yet. Your fearless commissioner is tied up dealing with public safety communications for Los Angeles County. It’s a long story.
I just sent both leagues an e-mail warning, the draft is nigh!
It’s going to be especially painful if we’re tanking and the Coyotes are good.
You know, I really don’t think you have to worry about that. The latter part that is.
You know, I really don’t think you have to worry about that.
Agreed. If Tippit can poilsh up that turd, I’d be very surprised. he’s a damn fine coach and all…but really.

I don’t know. I think it’s a normal team that’s just covered with turd. Probably all he needs to do is rinse it off. :P
Gretzky’s really that bad.
Agreed. If Tippit can poilsh up that turd, I’d be very surprised. he’s a damn fine coach and all…but really.
You mean the pure joy of seeing Gretzky resign won’t send them on an 82-0 run into the playoffs????
In that case…they need…GILROY!!!!
I’ve got good news and bad news, which do you want first? Well I guess they have to go in a certain order, so…good news first. I return to being a productive member of society on Monday. The bad news is that after two weeks of training I will move to second shift. Looks like it’s time to get aquainted with a DVR.
That’s fantastic news Frisby. Congrats man.
Frisby, that’s AWESOME news!!!! About the job. Not about the schedule. But seriously, congratulations!!!
Frisby, you have 2 weeks to introduce yourself to the DVR. Congrats on the job…excellent news.
Congratulations, Frisby! Second shift isn’t so bad! Could be worse, could be graveyard. I’ve done them both.
Good job!
Wahoo Frisby! Congrats on the new job!
We talked Patty into going to the game! Yeah!
Congratulations, Frisby!!! That sucks about the schedule but… Woo-hoo for the job!
And have fun at the game, Myra and Patty!
Congradulations Frisby!!
Glad to hear that you got the job. It will just let you be on IPB during the day. That is until they realize how much they need you on the day shift.
Good thinking, Hub!
I was tricked!
Somebody left a car bomb downtown, so I don’t know what it’s like down there now.
They say it was inactive, though.
Apparently an FBI agent sold the idiot the bomb. :D
Sorry for the OT.
The bad news is that after two weeks of training I will move to second shift. Looks like it’s time to get aquainted with a DVR.
Congrats on the job, Frisby. And DVRed games aren’t so bad. You can fast forward through commercials and other boring parts. Or if you’re watching the Sabres, you can fast forward through the periods.
A bunch of my friends are complaining about the war zone in Pittsburgh right now. One of them was telling me she can’t go to the gym right now because of police blockades. Kind of makes my excuse of laziness seem lame now.
Apparently an FBI agent sold the idiot the bomb. :D
That seems counterproductive.
It’s an exciting day — bombs in cars, police barricades, and giant firearms busts that lead to the shooting of police officers not far from my library!
So we’re watching the Devils/Trannies right now, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Devs are going to get shut out 15 times this season. It’s good times. Heh.
It’s an exciting day — bombs in cars, police barricades, and giant firearms busts that lead to the shooting of police officers not far from my library!
Yikes!

Well, they sold him one that wouldn’t go off, so they could catch him red-handed.
I picture the SWAT team giggling to themselves as they watch the bomber checking his watch and wondering why nothing is happening. Then saying, “Okay, I guess we should go get him.”
i want naked girls!!!
