1-2-3 Hockey: 43 of 45
Behold our newest handmade creation — Hooters H. Puffinstuff, the felt owl! He was made (roughly) from a pattern in “Fa la la la Felt”, and considering how quick and fun it was to make him, we suspect there will be plenty more to come. (Although not all of them will have such perfect vintage-button eyeballs…)
We blogged all about him here.
NOW, ON TO OUR NEW HOCKEY CONTENT!
Midway through the “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” series there was a change in actor portraying Colleen, Dr. Mike’s awkward, brainy, aspiring-doctor adopted teenaged daughter. The first actor was an ungainly blonde girl, and the replacement one was a waifish, nasal-voiced, marble-mouthed, not-even-remotely-lookalike brunette. And as the series progressed with the faux Colleen, we couldn’t help but wonder why our thoughts kept wandering to Jonathan Toews.
Oh yeah, that’s right — because Jonathan Toews was the replacement actor playing Colleen.
For a second there I thought you’d photoshopped that. But you wouldn’t, would you?
Whoa, who knew Jonathan Toews could “act.”
And Hooters H. Puffinstuff is adorable. The button eyes are pretty nifty.
So that’s where I’d seen him before. I knew I recognized him.

Hee hee! If only we had the necessary skills for that. :D
Whoa, who knew Jonathan Toews could “act.”
Well, to be fair to Tazer, if you watch a bit of the show you’ll reconsider whether he actually can “act”. He does a great job of standing around with his mouth gaping like a fish, and then squawking his lines in an unintelligible shriek. It’s very much what you’d expect from him.
(And Amy, thanks on the HH Puffinstuff front. I still can’t get over finding those buttons.)

And if you’re anything like us, you’ll crack up every time someone in the room responds to the unintelligible shrieks with, “Shut up, Tazer.” Heh heh heh.

Amy, by “nifty” you mean, “haunting”, right? Those eyes are pretty intense. :D
And if you’re anything like us, you’ll crack up every time someone in the room responds to the unintelligible shrieks with, “Shut up, Tazer.”
Hey, it’s never not funny.
Guess wnere I am? Jury duty!
Oooh, jury duty! Fun! I hope you get picked for a trial as fun as mine! (But that voir dire isn’t as awful as mine was.)
NO WAY, Myra! I hope you have a FAAAAAAAAAAABulous time. Man, I wish I could get called again soon…
I’m in love with Hooters H. Puffinstuff. He’s so cute!
Wow, she is a dead ringer for Toews!
Wow, she is a dead ringer for Toews!
Wait, “she”? “Dead ringer”? Are you trying to suggest that isn’t Toews? :P
And thanks on the HHP front! :D
Or maybe Toews is really portrayed by that woman on the ice!
Matt Taormina was given #20.

::dries up::
Okay, we’re good.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I was hoping Lou would hold 20 in reserve for a few years, out of respect. Not slap it on the first upstart who comes along, the way he did with 23. :(
But yeah, now that I’ve used that frownie emoticon, I’m all good. We had some sort of proto-joke about Taormina that I think we even wrote down during one of the preseason games, but damn if I can remember it at all right now. Anyway, I’m sure it’s hilarious, so I’m glad we’ll be able to use it. :P
Hey, what does the middle initial H stand for?
Hortense?
The H stands for Morehouse. (As in the exchange from LA Confidential — “Jesus H. Christ!” “No, Pierce Morehouse Patchett.”) As Pookie said of an H standing for an M name, that’s just how Hooters rolls. :P
It’s my birthday! Wooooooooooo!
Herr Puffinstuff is freaking me out. Well done.
Happy birthday, Tim! I hope it’s a good one!
Happy Birthday Tim! I hope you get Ryan Kesler saying, “Let’s get it on!” for your birthday. That would be the best present ever.
For you AND for me. But mostly for me.
I definitely see the resemblance in they eyebrows. I’m pretty sure Toews manscapes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM! I also hope it’s a good one! Is it a number you care to share with us, so we can all tell you how great that year was for us? Or does a lady never tell?
I definitely see the resemblance in they eyebrows. I’m pretty sure Toews manscapes.
