Zubrus would’ve put that shorty in *scuffs foot*
on November 11, 2011 at 7:19 pm Pookie

Why can’t all the Devils be more like Zubrus?!

Send in the clones!!!!
on November 11, 2011 at 7:23 pm Pookie

No one would know how to defend against a team of all Zubruses! We can’t lose!
on November 11, 2011 at 7:29 pm Schnookie

If I had named my fantasy team the Zubri, they’d be in first place now.

Is Tim Pope, or just a Cardinal in the Church of Larsson????
on November 11, 2011 at 7:37 pm Tim

I am but a lowly Oprah in his Larssy Kingdom.

Tim and Sue, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Tim is just picking up the mantle of the corrupt ruling priest class of PandoNation. You gotta just run with it.
on November 11, 2011 at 7:44 pm Tim

Does anyone have a current price sheet for indulgences? I need to know market value so I can charge accordingly.
on November 11, 2011 at 7:46 pm Schnookie

Hey, you’re the Larsspope — just make up your own prices. (I’m not suggesting that so the Henriqueists can foment a reformation…)
on November 11, 2011 at 7:52 pm Schnookie

Oh god. Every year I forget how much I want to go on a killing spree when the hockey media does the “IT IS SUCH A TRAVESTY THAT [SO-AND-SO] ISN’T ON THE ALL-STAR BALLOT!” For how furious it makes me, you’d think I’d remember, but no. Every single year it’s like I’ve never seen this before, and oh, the RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.
on November 11, 2011 at 7:52 pm Pookie

I can’t wait to see the Larrstine Chapel ceiling. I bet it’s a thing of beauty, with Larsson reaching down from Heaven to bestow hockey to Lord Stanley.

It would have been, but the money that was tagged for that project got embezzled into a totally righteous jetski by……unnammed associates. An inquiry will follow.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: As long as the Larsspope tells me that the jetski was ordained by Larsson, I’m cool with it. I mean, who am I to question?
on November 11, 2011 at 7:59 pm Schnookie

Larsson wanted his most loyal followers to have that jetski. As his teachings state, it is far easier for a person on a jetski to get into heaven than someone without.

It is known. Heaven is somewhere off the Bahamian coast behind some sweet jumps. Shirt, shoes optional.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: You are clearly the right man for the job of Larsspope, as you have such a clear vision of heaven. Later, can you teach us of the time Larsson turned water into coconut rum?

I don’t remember that, which probably means it happened. Miracles, ecumenical, illegitimi non carborundum, blah blah blah.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:12 pm EJGRgunner

Shouldn’t that be “Låt inte jävlarna slipa ner dig” instead of illegitimi non caborundum?
on November 11, 2011 at 8:12 pm Pookie

Schism! Schism!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:14 pm Tim

Oh no! I’ve been caught in the vulgate! Noooooooooo!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:17 pm EJGRgunner

Tim, I declare you to be a false pope. In the words of Our Larsson, HBTN: Nu är du ute och cyklar.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:20 pm Pookie

Gunnner’s speaking in tongues! Witch! Witch!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:22 pm EJGRgunner

It is the language of The Larsson! And now Pookie is out riding her bicycle.

Oh my gosh, y’all are cracking me up!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:24 pm Tim

Pff, everyone knows antipopes are cooler anyhow. St. Hippolytus got all the ladies.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:25 pm Tim

See what your sedition brings! How dare you oppose the Larsspope!

For reals. I can’t keep up with this at all. Clearly, my pagan, secular education has left me in the lurch here.

And BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:27 pm Schnookie

He has a point, Gunner. Everything was going fine until you started the Schism. And if Ovechkin doesn’t represent the Beast, I don’t know what does.

I dunno…. ::suspicious eyes::

Let she who is without sin cast the first beer soaked mouse pad.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Yeah, once we get past the turning water into wine and the Sermon on the Mount, I’m stuck with whatever I learned from that Christopher Moore book about Biff and whatever I learned from Art History.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:30 pm Schnookie

Since when are they allowed to knock Henrique down? SINCE WHEN????
on November 11, 2011 at 8:32 pm EJGRgunner

My sedition? Clearly your heresy has offended The Larsson, HBTN. In the words of Our Larsson: “Ett ord till och skjortan är tom!”

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: (I can laugh at it because it’s the only thing in this recent thread that I understand. My Latin starts and ends with “Ecce! In pictura est puella Romana nomine Cornelia.”)

I’m just copying and pasting Swedish idioms that I’m finding through google searches.

OK, so Gunner’s not a witch, but now I’m wondering, is there no wizard behind the curtain?!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:40 pm Tim

I just used the dog Latin phrase my dad and I have taken as a sort of family motto, then I looked up the most useful Latin phrase I could. It was that or some tongue twisters.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:41 pm Tim

I really like “Now you’re outside and cycling” as an idiom, I’m going to start using that.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:41 pm Schnookie

Wait, so NONE of us knows what we’re talking about? And yet it all sounds so profound. It’s another Larsson miracle!

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Okay, I knew that one too. (And I’m glad to realize that I’m no more mature now than I was in seventh grade when I took Latin…)
on November 11, 2011 at 8:43 pm Pookie

Mine doesn’t start at all. :D

Yeah, mine either. The only things I remember from Latin class were that a) my teacher thought he looked like George Michael and b) he let us play “Latin Jeopardy” every Friday and every week he’d pick a wild card category that had some blatant sexual innuendo in the title. I’m not entirely sure how he got away with doing that with 8th grade students, but that’s how I learned the slang definition of “jugs”. It seems knowing “jugs” isn’t helping me win a battle of the wits here on the internet. That teacher owes me a re-do on my education!
on November 11, 2011 at 8:44 pm Schnookie

Aw, Pookie, jugs always wins a battle of the wits. At least, it does in my book. Tee hee.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:47 pm Tim

I never took Latin, but I do know how to say “breasts” in Yiddish and how to say “I am fluffy” in Japanese.

Former: Shadayim (at least phonetically)
Latter: Watashi ha fuafua (same)
on November 11, 2011 at 8:51 pm Patty (in Dallas)

<iI really like “Now you’re outside and cycling” as an idiom, I’m going to start using that.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That is a good one. But I’m not sure how I would use, “A word to and your shirt is empty,” in regular conversation.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:52 pm Pookie

Anyone know how to say funfetti in Latin? Or Yiddish? Or Japanese?
on November 11, 2011 at 8:52 pm Tim

Sedition! *Shakes tiny, priestly fist*
on November 11, 2011 at 8:53 pm Schnookie

That goal was the opposite of fluffy in Japanese. That was — dare I say it? — funfetti.
on November 11, 2011 at 8:55 pm Tim

Mega funfetti.

Rollie the cat has officially had it with Chico. She just stepped on the volume button on the remote until he was silenced. Well done, Rollie.
on November 11, 2011 at 9:24 pm Pookie

Morgan has a theory that all Devils get their first goals in losses. I guess the silver lining here is that Larsson seems like more of a True Devil now that his first goal came in a loss. The gray cloud here is that I was hoping Larsson would usher in a new era of better things for True Devils 2.0. Sigh.
