Not really. you really wanna drive that thing around during every commercial break? And zamboni + hats = disaster…

They don’t really need to be girls though….

Sharks don’t have them either, and yet a Sharks fan is trying to ruin the fun for everybody else.

I think the last time I can remember getting that angry was when the free bus from Gordon Biersch to the Tank was cancelled.

SuperMex is really good, in my admittedly white opinion. Their burritos are huge and they give you a full tortilla chip and you break it up yourself.

That Green Field place, the one with the stop signs for your food? That place is awesome but it’s too filling for my bird-like stomach.

SuperMex is like one of those places in Mexico where everything is swimming in sauce but it’s still really good, only you probably won’t spend the next 3 days having diarrhea afterward.

You are not joking, straight up tar balls on the beach last time I was in Long Beach. We may have to wear wetsuits up here with 55 degree water in nocal, but all we have to step on at the beach is broken beer bottles and glass bongs like normal people.

You should never, ever go to Long Beach for the beach. It’s disgusting. Go to Seal or Huntington.

I lived in an apartment in Long Beach for a year. I’m never going back to that city.

I’m not the smartest guy in the world. I don’t read books or know how "getting pregnant" works. I can’t promise nights filled with intellectual conversation, but if we’re walking past a chain-link fence, you can rest assured that I’m going to try and chew a hole through it.

Part of it was a shitty social scenario for me at the time. So I’m being a bit unfair.

Cool shot, Mr. Cool Photographer

I always like my calendar girls clutching their sides for warmth. Hawthawthawt.

Is next month a shot of the Ice Girls walking barefoot over large-bark mulch?

by ievans on Jul 26, 2010 12:29 PM PDT reply actions  

the heels really add a great touch….

-John Marston-

by SPADE-IN-VICTORHELL on Jul 26, 2010 3:21 PM PDT reply actions  

They're practical, too...

The heels act like spikes, digging into the ice surface and giving the girls a stable foothold. Thus they’re a safety feature. I’m surprised OSHA doesn’t require them.

Hey, I’m just trying to add some justification here. Help me out, guys…

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.
