Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

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.)

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

Oh my, is he — is he a fan of NICKLEBACK? Please say yes.

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.

This comment makes me smile.

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.

By the way

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.

not like we talk about trades and rumors..we just dont devot 6 posts to them…we cover with one..then get back to donuts..old asian ladies and awkwardness

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.

Recall all the yearbooks!

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