Just Wanted to Point Out...

...That not only did I call the correct score of the game,* not only did I call exactly how the Kings would win in the post below... but I found a dollar on the way home from work!  Booyah, bitches, someone's getting a 1/2 lb. bean & cheese burrito from Del tomorrow!

But seriously, you people should be showering me with praise.

Oh, and I sent James Mirtle an e-mail calling him on that whole Drew Doughty over Dustin Brown for 1st star of the game bullshit.  He claims he doesn't get a vote.  I'm still suspicious.


*I've been doing this for what, almost 3 years now?  I think that's the first game I've ever called exactly correct.

Yeah, without us, people would think it’s okay to make rape jokes! And laugh at them.

ha! my youngest just bought a comics – cyanide and happiness – the other day … I was glancing thru it, and I have seen some of them before from my oldest, but some of them made me pause “like wtf??”. So being the mother that I was, I had to have a “heart to heart with my boys” bout the jokes in the comics. talk bout ruining their fun. my youngest kept saying, “it’s just comics”, and I had to point out, but some of that stuff has happened for real, would you think it’s funny then? (shush you guys, I"m trying to raise them properly!)

again – females / moms have to serve some purpose … even if it’s spoiling the fun of others … :)

You sound like a pretty crappy mom. My mom let me watch Predator when I was 7 and look how I turned out!

I never said I don’t let them watch shit … I just make sure to talk to them about it … and point you out to them and explain “this is who I don’t want you to turn out like” … :)

actually I made a mistake with my oldest, when he was 3 I put on Star Wars. I’m a huge Star Wars fan, but let me tell you – letting a 3 yr old watch it is wrong. We watched it every day for years. He started school and every day he talked about Star Wars. Every paper he wrote was bout Star Wars. Every parent / teacher conference, the teacher would say “do you know your son talks bout Star Wars alot”. (sighs) Yes we know. He wanted to name his little brother Luke. He didn’t start to calm down till he reached 7th grade. Even still at 18, Star Wars is somewhere in his mind.

I’m a crappy mom? If I had known then, I would have banned Star Wars! (still my fave movie tho)

Heh, I followed those guys back before they did the comic, though they certainly cleaned out most of that stuff. It used to be called StickSuicide.com. I miss those days. Now it’s lost the “fun” to cater to wider audience, and they’re great and all, but as far as webcomics go, you can’t beat xkcd.

If anyone cares.

Yeah, but you haven’t factored in the cost of pepto and possible hospitalization.

Although that could easily happen with Del Taco Bell too…

I have noticed this before. Rudy does occasionally exhibit a sensitive side, though, whereas Maddox does not.

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
