Dear Looch,
How far is too far in advance to make pies for Thanksgiving?
– Colleen, Colorado Springs, CO
Dear Colleen,
Looch not eat any pies older than number of fingers Looch can count so Looch suggest not making pies more than four years before Thanksgiving. Looch think four years gives mud juuuust enough time to bake properly while still being able to scrape off rock in once piece. Colleen make Looch drool with pie question! How soon is Thanksgiving? One… Two… Three… Four… LOOCH CONFUSED!

Dear Looch,
Sometimes my fudge turns out gritty. What am I doing wrong?

Dear Margaret,
Looch giggle. Looch not able to stop giggling. TEE HEE HEE. Looch suggest bran muffin. TEE HEE HEE.

Dear Looch,
Do you have any fun suggestions for egg-dying crafts that kids can enjoy?
– Terese, Syracuse, NY
Dear Terese,
Looch love eggs. Looch love dye. Looch not able to combine two loves. Looch keep smashing. Looch not mean to smash. Where pretty egg go? Looch make colorful eggshell crumble. It make Looch’s cake look like ass. But Looch’s hands look so pretty.

Dear Looch,
Is there an easy way to remove wrinkles from sheets? Bed linens are so large, it’s hard to iron them properly.
– Helene, Grover’s Mill, ME
Dear Helene,
Why Helene scared of hard work? Hard work get Looch ahead in life. If Helene not prepared to iron big bed linens, Looch suggest Helene use small bed linens. Or Looch suggest Helene use what Looch use — night sky. Night sky never need ironing. Night sky sparkles so pretty. Night sky sparkles like shiny rocks smashed by Big Looch In Sky.

This one just came in, could Looch answer it?
Dear Looch,
I’ve just retired (again), and my wife says I have to learn how to do something besides grille if I’m going to be home all the time, especially in the winter. Do you have any favorite recipes you can share?
- Jacques, Montreal, Quebec
PS – Are you trying to get your coach fired?
Dear Jacques,
Last question first, yes. Looch not like coach. Jacques want to coach Looch next year? Please say yes?
First question second, Looch not know what you mean. Cook… not on open fire? How Jacques try to do that? Looch only know two recipes: put meat on plate, or put meat on fire, then put on plate.
–Looch
The mental picture of poor little Looch sitting there with dye-stained hands and crushed eggshell hopes and dreams makes me quite sad.
Looch only know two recipes: put meat on plate, or put meat on fire, then put on plate.
I think those are the only two recipes most NHLers know anyway. Looch isn’t alone there.
Dear Jacques,

And we just flipped to Blersus — the Red Wings play-by-play guy paired with Razor is causing major cognitive dissonance.
It really feels like the Hawks were figuring they were either going to win this 1-0 or not at all. Heh.
or not at all. Heh.

Oh Looch. I love your bran muffin answer. It reminds me of a coworker of mine who’s English is not quite perfect. She calls bran muffins, “brown muffins”. I can’t bring myself to correct her, because she’s correct in a way.
EEK! Apparently my English isn’t perfect, either! That should be “whose English isn’t perfect” not “who’s English isn’t perfect.” :-(
Having just noticed the final score, I’m attributing that error on over-celebration. ;)
Sorry you couldn’t spot me at the game, you should have tuned into the pregame show. I walked through the turnstiles and handed my tickets over to the scanner person. She hands them back to me and says, “enjoy the game” and I look up and there’s a tv camera in my face. I’m standing there like a deer trapped in headlights for what seems like an eternity while they are giving me signals to cheer but all I could muster was a smile and a fist pump. And that’s my story.
HAHAHAHAHA! Frisby, that’s awesome! I wish we had seen that! And whatever your cheering secret is, it’s working. That must have been a hell of a game to see in person!

I keep wondering what household or craft advice Chico would ask Looch…
Rug maintenance? How to remove Chico Eats remnants from ties? The proper way to clean Chuck the Duck?
I’ve been sending tons of kittens and roasted rubber tires to Looch in hopes that he’d be too stuffed to play well.
I also plan on going to Party in the Plaza with 15 lawn gnomes so the Flyers get confused and take one of them into the locker room and leave Briere outside in the snow. Hopefully the Sabres have listened to my recomendation to put all the Flyers’ wives in Jeff Carter’s hotel room.

That presupposes that there’s any Chuck the Duck left to clean after he’s been alone in a room with Looch.

It seems so unfair to give Looch too many men penalties. It’s not his fault he can’t count to six!
It’s not his fault he can’t count to six!
Too true…and everyone – including the refs – should know this by now. The Bruins should have an assistant coach whose only job is to make sure Looch doesn’t have to count and doesn’t cause a too many men penalty.
It’s fairly clear – at least for now – that the Trannies made the right goaltending move. But, what team except Philly would be demoting the goalie that they swore was their savior to street clothes by Game 3 of the 1st Round?
What is… the Flyers? ;)
I hate the Flyers.
I hate the Flyers.
The Sabres’ best plan seems to be incapacitation (choose your own method) of both Boucher and Leighton and force Bob back into the net for Game 4.
Knowing Flyers management, they’d continue to play Boucher or Leighton, incapacitated or not.
Wow, Engblom’s hair may not be as frightening as usual. It’s too early to tell but it’s different.
Just have to share this. I bet many of you can relate. Had another foundation guy out to do an estimate and when he noticed all the Stars stuff around started asking me some questions about the Stars. Blew him away. I love freaking out men with the fact that this frumpy middle-aged suburban mom knows as much or more about the Dallas Stars than they do.
HAHAHAHA! Nicely done, Myra!
I don’t understand how Engblom’s hair is allowed on television. I really don’t.

Dude, the Coyotes really aren’t a playoff-caliber team, are they?
Oooooh I’m so blaming you guys for this stupid game 3. You chose to write a Looch post yesterday?! COME ON!
Sigh. Montreal better win game 4.
Well, even if Montreal’s loss is our fault, I’m still not writing a Gomez post before their next game! :P (Actually, that would probably be pretty funny…)
I don’t understand. Who’s that dude in the Coyotes net and what did he do with Bryz?

I feel like our special snowflakes would somehow screw that up and end up incapacitating Crunchy & Enroth, forcing Lalime back into the net.
Schnookie, I’m trying to imagine a Gomer advice column. Really. How everything is never, ever your fault?

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Exactly! Hmm… ::Gets thoughtful look on face, stares into middle distance::
At the end of this series, I hope I still like more Sabres than just Butler and Gerbe. Chances are slim though.
That’s, like, the story of every Devils series since the lockout for me. I consider it a victory if there’s more than one player on the team that I still like. (The last two playoff years, the answer was no.)

I was at the Party in the Plaza last night and I still can’t feel my feet. It was sort of awesome though being surrounded by a mob of angry, drunk Sabres fans when we watched the replay of Bouch taking his own helmet off for a stoppage of play. And by “awesome” I mean “Oh shit. That dude with the Richards jersey is gonna get killed.”
And for all the Terminator fans, Skynet goes online today at 20:11 and Judgement Day is on Thursday. So no matter what happens tomorrow night, at least the Stanley Cup won’t go to the Flyers or Bruins! Sure 3 billion humans will die in August, but I’m a glass half full girl! :D
I was at the Party in the Plaza last night and I still can’t feel my feet.
Oof. That looked cold. The Flyers announcers were really impressed with you guys, though, so there’s that. :D

They were scouting for someone masochistic enough to be the next Tranny goalie.
The last two playoff years, the answer was no.
I was trying to remember. I hated almost each and every one of them the year before, when they lost to the Rangers…and I really hated Lou, when he went along with that farce that allowed Sutter to leave. Not that I was really sorry to see Sutter leave, I just wanted it to be painful, difficult and since it was obvious he was lying, I though Elias should be able to take a baseball bat and beat the crap out of him. Oh, yeah, Elias was about the only one I didn’t hate then, since it turns out he was playing with a very painful injury and Sutter was, of course, blaming him for everything and ignoring other issues.
Last year I think I was just resigned. I knew they were likely to lose and I already blamed Langs and hated him with the fire of a thousand suns. I was really angry when Lou didn’t kick his ass to the curb. I didn’t have the energy to hate too many more of them.
I just wanted it to be painful, difficult and since it was obvious he was lying, I though Elias should be able to take a baseball bat and beat the crap out of him.
FOR REALS. Gah! Man, it’s making me hate them all all over again.
And you know what? I had completely forgotten about last year’s playoff loss. The ones I’m thinking of were the two before that, the Rangers one, where I was just fully and deeply enraged at each and every single player and the team as a whole, and the Canes one, where my anger was more directed at myself for still caring about those sacks of shit. Last year? Yeah, I didn’t hate any individual player (beyond Langer) especially, because by then I was just too numb to bother. (Isn’t being a sports fan FUN?)
Hi guys! Game day! W00T! That’s all I’ll say right now. That and, wouldn’t a sweep be dreamy right about now? Yes. It. Would.
The Flyers announcers were really impressed with you guys, though, so there’s that. :D
In a completely non-sarcastic way, that makes me feel better. :) (And it really was freaking cold.) They were trotting around taking pics of all of us, so I’ve been looking through them today to get that warm and fuzzy fan feeling.

Aw Sue, I feel your pain. My 25th for Baylor was last year. I’m supposed to have my 30th high school class reunion this fall. Since we’ll be in KC instead of Dallas, I may not make it back for that one. We’ll see. I find class reunions to be very bittersweet.
I’m TOTALLY going to order 8×10 prints of mcguggs freezing her ass off outside the game last night! WOO HOOOO!
And 25th college reunions? YEESH! You ladies ARE old! :P (Just kidding. I don’t see age.)
We had hail here for the 2nd time in a week. Not cook, weather, not cook.
And I’m watching Nucks v Hawks so I can listen to Razor.
Hail?? That completely sucks! And this Van/Chi series also completely sucks. You know, if the Hawks were going to be this bad, someone should have stepped in and let the Stars make the playoffs instead. What a waste. (But it’s nice to hear Strader and Razor, so at least this game’s got that going for it.)
I’m not surprised that the Canucks are winning the series but I did expect the Hawks to put up a lot more fight. The Stars could have done this (and probably would have been swept as well).
I find class reunions to be very bittersweet.
This will be the first I have gone to, I’m not interested in seeing anyone from my high school and I keep in touch with almost everyone from grad school that I want to see. So, undergrad it is.
The Wellesley campus is gorgeous. That, the academics and the fact that it was so close to Boston were the reasons I went there. I ignored the fact that it was all women, which surprised lots of people I met there. I couldn’t find anyone who would go to Bruins games with me. I could get a group together for field trips to Fenway, though.
You know, if the Hawks were going to be this bad, someone should have stepped in and let the Stars make the playoffs instead.
Yeah, but then we’d be watching….Langer. Then again, I could root for Vancouver to run him over.
I graduated from a high school class of 60 of which about half of us went all 12 years together, so it’s good to catch up with them. I only keep in touch with a handful from high school or college on any kind of regular basis.
Yeah, but then we’d be watching….Langer. Then again, I could root for Vancouver to run him over.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, there’s definitely a gray cloud attached to what could have been a silver lining.
You had hail AGAIN, Myra? I was bracing for it but the storm kind of split in half and when around me.
Razor and Strader is a much better pair than Razor and that guy that does the Wings.
Not as bad this time but Grace and I were out in it in the car. Sure was loud but not big enough to do any major damage. At least I don’t think there were any dents.
That’s way scary, Myra! I’m glad you didn’t get hurt, and that your car was relatively okay.
Hey! This game’s getting sassy all of a sudden!

It’s ok Carol, you don’t really want a sweep. Then they’d have so much time to sit around getting rusty. This way they’ll be more likely to be sharp and ass-kicky in the second round.

Apparently all the Hawks needed was me comparing them to the Stars to horrify them out of their slump. Sorry Carol, I won’t do that again.

Is there anything you can say to make Kane’s stupid mullet fall off his head, Myra? Just checking!
Man. Nice move by Frolik. (Sorry, Carol.)
(I saw Frolik interviewed as a rookie with the Panthers once and found him adorable. That’s all I know about him.)
I wonder if Louongo took too much cold medicine. This game is giving me deja vu.
All you need to know about Frolik is that I hand-picked him for the ‘Soxers this year. Yeah, I knew him when.
I’m always a little embarrassed by Frolik because he got added to the player lists in the Amazing/SuperLeagues one year after I’d taken out all the Eastern Conference guys, and I ended up auto-drafting him when I wasn’t allowed to. He makes me feel incompetent. Also, and more pertinent to the actual hockey tonight, he seems to make Luongo feel incompetent.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! COLD MEDICINE! IT’S NEVER NOT FUNNY!
I bet Belfour snuck that cold medication in to Luongo’s water. Had to be.
But, it isn’t as bad yet. The Hawks equivalent of Daneyko hasn’t scored yet. Do they even have one?

Oh, Myra. That would make me nervous as well. If I could send them some of our rain, I would.
They say the winds are helping – do they know what the forecast is for the winds, is that supposed to continue?
The collapse begins for the Sharks. :P
We used to live in the LA area when we were wee bairns, and Boomer was just telling us that there were a few fires in the foothills there that were visible from the street outside our house like in that picture from Dave’s town. She said she and Dad had an “in case of evacuating for fire” list ready. The first two items were “the babies” and “diapers”.
And this Sharks/Kings game is HILARIOUS! And AWESOME!
The collapse begins for the Sharks.
The Sharks are like, “The collapse began years ago. We’re in a constant collapse. It never ends. The great regular-season record is just part of the collapse process.”
The first two items were “the babies” and “diapers”.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s good that they wrote it down.
They do live in the last house on the last street on the outskirts of town so that is not good. They do seem to think they are getting a better handle on the fires today. Last night, his mom said they were only 10% contained.
His dad had been trying to get out to check on their family farm (the house was gone many years ago) to check on livestock and fences, etc. Finally got there today, and the bulls had made their way to safety. They didn’t know if someone (firefighters) had knocked down the fences for them or if the bulls had. I’m putting my money on the bulls.
Dude, are y’all watching the Sharks v Kings? Kings with 2 goals in under 3 minutes into the game. I dislike both teams so I’m enjoying when either gets scored on.
Clifford’s eye looks awful.
The great regular-season record is just part of the collapse process.”
True. I guess without the great regular season, it would just be sucking, instead of a collapse.
Where’s andrew these days, by the way? I can’t hang around during the day anymore so I always miss him.

I guess without the great regular season, it would just be sucking, instead of a collapse.
Exactly, say the Islanders.
Oh, and part of my delight at the Sharks sucking is that Drew Remenda is driving me NUTS. He used to be one of my favorite color guys, but he’s gotten so smug in the last few years, and so convinced that he’s the cleverest guy in the room, and has, recently, picked up Pierre McGuire’s habit of ridiculously overpronouncing foreign names. I want Nittymaki to get into this game just so I can cackle with glee at what a moron Remenda sounds like with the way he pronounces “Antero”. (I hate it when a good color guy goes bad. :P)
Is he still on his “sitting on the couch eating bon-bons” leave? Er, I mean, paternity leave?
I didn’t realize doing your best Peg Bundy imitation equaled paternaty leave!
The fire hasn’t gotten very close to the town, maybe about 5 miles. The fires are mostly in very remote areas so they have just tried to save any houses, livestock, and try to stop the fires when it gets close to a road.
I hate it when a good color guy goes bad. :P
This sounds like a future ESPN series, “When Good Color Guys go Bad”, sort of like VH1′s, “Behind the Music” – maybe “Behind the Color”?
I’m taking a break from hockey and watching the host of “Property Virgins” explain to a buyer why she can’t get a million dollar condo in South Beach for about $225K.

Wowsers. When I left work, Marleau had just scored but the Kings still seemed like the had the game well in hand. What the hell happened?
Mcguffers, that is adorable. Do it! Do it!! (Kittymaki still cracks me up.)
I know! I keep giggling at Pawvelski. … cause I’m 5.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Poor Joey.
Weber’s pissed at me right now so he’s decided to pull all his fur out. His bottom half looks like one of those scary hairless kitties. I think he’s mad that I don’t know if I’m rooting for the Ducks or his namesake.
Rollie goes through hairless phases. Our vet suggested that it might be stress causing it. Considering this is the lowest-strung cat of all time, I’m not sure that’s a very sound diagnosis. But yeah, her belly is total hairless kitty. ::shakes head:: (We joke that she’s always accusing us of giving her mange.)
I don’t know if I’m rooting for the Ducks or his namesake.
I suppose dreamy Bobby Ryan going all Pronger stompy has muddied the waters a bit… :D

Ducks will be Ducks…
And on the other end, I can’t root for Mike Fisher. I know he’s supposedly a nice guy who likes Jesus, and the fact that he married a girl named Carrie to make her Carrie Fisher is pretty cool, but he’s… Mike Fisher. The Senator.
I loathe Mike Fisher and always have. I’m not afraid to say it. I don’t care about any of the reasons a person could like him. It just Mike Fisher. ::shudder::
And dude, the Kings suck COLOSSALLY.
Wow I just saw the highlights of the Kings/Sharks game. I think both defenses were on crack.
And apparently someone forgot to tell the Kings they’re not supposed to be the California team everyone expects to choke spectacularly in the playoffs.
Uh, Mcguggs, for Weber’s sake you better start rooting for the Preds, stat. And besides, with Stompy Ryan out, that whole team gets out-awesomed by Shea Weber.
I always considered Mike Fisher the least repugnant of all the Senators, so I saw this trade as a merciful release. And look how happy he is, scoring all those points, now that he’s on a team that actually gives a shit.
(Although he does look perpetually sunburned and that bugs/perplexes me.)
It just Mike Fisher.
I do feel a wee bit sorry for him in that his identity to most of Nashville is just that he’s Carrie Underwear’s husband. His identity is lost in “her/their” identity. I’m probably not explaining that very well, but if they can deal with it, who am I to question?

Ryan has certainly gone down a slippery slope. Next thing you know, he’s going to be stealing game pucks or having teary press conferences.
And besides, with Stompy Ryan out, that whole team gets out-awesomed by Shea Weber.
I used my top Fantasy draft pick to acquire Weber and he managed to get about 3 points all season and be a -178,456 every week, so it’s taken the patience of a saint to not change my cat’s name to “Stupid Annoying Head.” (that’s more because Weber the cat is a stupid annoying head, not Shea Weber.)
But it’s true. Stompy Ryan is less likable. Chris Butler better not do anything like that, because he’s got dibs on my next pet’s name. Webs and Butts. I can see it now!
