Awkward Modeling

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? These pictures might be worth a million words.

For your viewing pleasure, I present a few pictures from the San Jose Sharks 2009-10 Yearbook.

Star-divide

First, the cover. You get the idea -- it's Sharks players modeling t-shirts and coats and stuff.

Let's zoom in on that bottom right-hand corner, shall we? (Ignore the stuff on my coffee table below it.)

100_3474_medium

And what do we have on the inside?

And remember, everything you see here can be purchased at the Sharks store.

How does he DO that with his eyebrows? Natural talent, or constant awkward practice?

Amaaaazing. Thank you, Mike.

I’d think the Sharks photographer probably has to use a hand puppet to keep the eyebrows’ attention. I’ll have to ask PJ that.

I like that theory, if the puppet is a little Sharkie Elvis.

His brows remind me of my dog’s ears, when I hold up a treat. Ruuuuuh? /head-tilt

It’s hilarious that he loves the Tragically Hip because he’s like the antithesis of that. Happily Square, I guess.

Now I feel bad. We’ve been making fun of the guy, but clearly he has some sort of strange partial facial paralysis. I apologize, Marleau.

Never go to the South for any reason.

Let me clarify:

It makes me smile due to humour, not due to the fact that I was going through your panty drawer. Although I was.

How in the hell does he manage to keep the same facial expression in every single photo? I thought they were the same picture for like a good 20 seconds.

by JohnQPhats on Feb 3, 2010 8:18 AM PST reply actions  

He’s like a bad Zoolander. Really really ridiculous looking.

Ohh! You guys!

Must be frustrating for the photographer.

What IS on your coffee table? Cause the catalog in the second picture looks like it’s for the “Premium Collection” of dildos.

It’s Spade’s mail-order catalog of man secrets. It’s the perfect juxtaposition against Marleau’s awkward smile.

I ordered the free coffee maker with it but it came with Ryan Getzlaf spray-on hair instead. I complained to your customer service but Sleek said he couldn’t handle it at the moment because he was in church.

by Mike Chen on Feb 3, 2010 11:07 AM PST up reply actions  

i thought about firing sleek and getting rudy to handle customer service…but I have a feeling that would be a mistake..im guessing a call to rudy would go like this:

mike chen: hello..is this customer service?
rudy kelly: um maybe
mike chen: I ordered the free coffee maker with my spade man secrets catalog but it came with Ryan Getzlaf spray-on hair instead
rudy kelly: so? what the fuck do you want me to do about it..eat shit
mike chen:I want u to give me my coffee maker!!
rudy kelly: oh ok…well replace it then bye

then rudy would proceed send you used black dildo

No one ever wants to admit that they bought a dildo. They never ask for a refund.

This is why I love BoC…while the rest of the hockey world is going nuts about trades and rumors, here we are looking at pictures of Patrick Marleau modeling a jacket. I think we win.

I got the yearbook a few days ago...

The whole team looks awkward! Pretty sure it’s because they made them model the clothes and this of course makes Patty extra awkward.

Looks like they may need to insert a few pictures of Nic Wallin in Sharks gear now.

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.
