Ducks Gameday -- Stars of Wonder, Stars of Light

Anaheim Ducks (naughty) at Dallas Stars (nice), 5 pm
Anaheim Calling and Defending Big D -- not division rivals for much longer!

Stars_wise_men_medium
Oh, whatever. :)

Ducks are on Versus tonight? Whoops! (But hooray -- likely no Hayward or Ahlers!) I'll be watching on tape delay once again, but will be following the score on my phone -- feel free to spoil this one.

Prediction: Oh, whatever. :)

Go Ducks.

If the NFL Colts taught us anything, you don’t start winning until you have that top pick locked up for sure.

Besides what good is one win when you follow it up with 10 losses?

Well, a win against Dallas always does cheer me up.

Let’s have a reprise of that ol’ Lubo hat trick. :)

lets see what spade can watch tonite at 5:30:

a)the steelers-49ers game, featuring two 10-3 teams..with the ravens losing last nite (choke) can get the inside track to the number #1 seed with a win…Big ben will be on one ankle…trying to will his team to victory on the west coast on prime time television in what should be an exciting game

or

b) the ducks who just suck big uncut donkey dick

one of these teams will be relegated to viewing only commercial breaks and halftime/intermission for the other..I wonder if you can guess which one?

p.s. i have no idea what the cartoon is about…but i always applaud a toon
p.s.s. trade teemu to winnipeg…release teemu from this debacle…I want to start a FREE TEEMU chant/petition/drive whatever

Frankincense is used as perfume but also a medicine for healing “arthritis, healing wounds, strengthening the female hormone system, and purifying the atmosphere from undesirable germs.”**

The way these duckie are playing they could use some strengthening of the female hormone system.

Wiki:

Western medicine In pharmacy, myrrh is used as an antiseptic in mouthwashes, gargles, and toothpastes for prevention and treatment of gum disease.11 Myrrh is currently used in some liniments and healing salves that may be applied to abrasions and other minor skin ailments. Myrrh has also been recommended as an analgesic for toothaches, and can be used in liniment for bruises, aches, and sprains.

So you might have already used Myrrh. And then there is that use for embalming, so you could use it later.

Regift the gold, it is the least valuable.

This year might suck but Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan, Fowler, Visnovsky, Hiller is a fine core to build around for the future. If you add some depth and Burns doesn’t slice off their hands early in the season you guys should be much improved next year.
