Ducks Gameday -- Penguins in Town

Do you have something generically about hockey? For instance, I have a “Notre Dame Hockey” t-shirt that I’ll use for games where I don’t really have a rooting interest. Or something that says “Canada” — that could be for gold medalists on either team.

something that doesn’t have kings logo on it?

i’m slightly terrified by that hiller commercial

I wore my Kings jersey last time, and… realized it wasn’t a smart decision.

You should be flogged for such blasphemy

Oh, I’d watch Samsung commercials, I guess. As innovators, they can earn that right. :)

The really nice thing about “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret” on IFC is the lack of commercials during the show.

Yay for non-mainstream British comedy starring American actors!

Well, it’s not that I wasn’t drawing — I did start some preliminary sketches for ROTJ, though that’s still a ways away. How I’m going to turn Chara into Jabba is still a mystery.

It’s not like they don’t advertise in places where commercials only happen between programming or in popups during programming. Boooooooo.

Cool, that’s a win for us then.

haha, did you flush your beer money on this one? I neglected to mention in my post today that my portable San Francisco Giants television, which lasted over 20 years (and still works but can’t receive a digital signal obviousy) was a Sony Watchman. I’m tempted to add that back in, now.

I actually don’t have it — I wrote it in a blur this morning and once I deleted it, I lost my working copy. Sorry, hasty me.

Anybody have some RSS feed of it? You can probably put in these comments if you change “Samsung” to “Satan”.

I was buffered, at least — got my instructions through SBN. Nobody yelled at me directly, which is probably good, as I really don’t see where I broke the rules as provided to me.

I’m no martyr. I’m just a guy who shouldn’t be paid to do things.

My AA counselor disagrees.

Don’t take it out on your DVD player — it wasn’t part of the decision process here.

But it could be better…

Unfortunately, all that I salvaged was the two paragraphs before the jump, and I dunno — hopefully that wasn’t the cause of any strife. Rudy’s investigating, because we’re still a little unclear what went wrong, except “Satan’s pissed”.

Also the Sid #1 and B-Ry #2 draft storyline — that should get played up, too.

I like that your defense about the cartoon they found offensive was that you did the exact same thing last week. I can’t believe that didn’t work!

that is just so much awesome. How anyone could not appreciate your art is beyond me! :)

Oh my god I find this situation utterly hilarious. I think if you milk this right, you make this blog even more popular. Any publicity is good, hmm? Haha.

haha, you should’ve touched your nose and said “not it” on this one and forced me to write for the both of us :)

I half-expected the cartoon objection would be something about “we don’t associate with torture,” like when Gary Larson would get a letter from Amnesty International every time he did a The Far Side panel that included a prisoner chained up in a dungeon.

All I can give you was what was before the jump — typed it off my iPhone’s archived page.

Ducks Gameday — _______ made me do it, Part 2

In case you missed it last week, I have sold my soul to a devil named _______ (motto: the best TV you don’t own… yet). In return for some short-lived wealth, I have to write three consecutive Friday posts about “How to enhance the fan experience”. Last week I talked about the outdatedness of regional blackouts, and I already may be out of good ideas; this week is a little off-the-board, and doesn’t really have to do with hockey at all — it’s a television-in-general request.

(Same cartoon as last week)
Update: I did find my drawing pen, then lost motivation to draw anything. Yay for recycling!

I’ll warn you now — this is very petty and stupid, and probably reveals a couple of major character flaws about your blogger, but here goes. Sleek’s suggestion #2: I hate commercials and never want to watch them again.

A belated late night WOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Well, if the complaint was really about post title and cartoon, last week featured them, too.

But it was pre-emptive — they were specifically pissed off about this post.

Now now, you should still be a bit wary for those SoCal matchups — Ducks are drawing opposition suspensions at a level I’ve never seen before.

What’cha call me?

Yeah, I can’t stand Crosby and the Penguins… I hate them, but I had to cheer for them over Anaheim, being a Kings fan.

I was amazed at how many Pens fans were in the stands, really. Since the Penguins don’t play in LA this year, it’d be their only chance to come to SoCal this season… and really, where would you rather be in November (let alone ANY time of year): Pittsburgh, or Los Angeles?
