Prior to yesterdays playoff like game against the Flamers, Coach Keenan made some jokes about Willie's illegally' long stick.  So apparently Mitchell put together two shafts and used this stick in warmup.  Good to see these players are maintaining a sense of humor.  They obviously have some giggles in that dressing room, which always goes a long way.  I'd have loved to see the look on Keenan's face, I bet he laughed his ass off.

Hmmm - looking forward to Mat's return to Toronto on HNIC this weekend.  This pic caught my eye, seems one of em has to hide his face, and the other does it out of necessity - hmm; wait...LOL...it should be an interesting game none the less.  The one following it in Montreal ought be pretty cool too.  Buggers.

Some weekend lego action...

The hockey rink behind Erin's place.

My new remote and I!  I was doing my best to look like a kid at Xmas.  My alien technology has finally arrived...Only Erin will appreciate this shot, as she was the only witness to the pure look of bliss that crossed my face as I first encountered a uni-remote such as this while attempting to figure out a stranger's system in order to begin watching 'Lost.'  Oh yeah, I'm onto season IV, and have spent approx. 53 hrs getting there.  Hope you're laughing Baby...

Nucks 5-3 over the Flamers this eve....

Just trying to keep up with m'lady...

Not so good:

Very Good:

Penn's performance was outstanding, the rest of the film was unimaginative, poorly edited, and shot with the kind of gust one reserves for holiday snapshots.  Very disappointed with this film.

HAPPY ON THE PHONE...

NOT SO HAPPY ON THE PHONE...

Whew, all caught up - glad I'm not a member of 365 - strict rules with that contest!

Glad I made up my own...slag away....

This is clearly too good not to cut and paste.  Pay attention to his excuse for missing court:

 A self-described "vampyre" and former fringe political candidate faces charges for threatening a teenage girl who tried to break off their relationship by telling him she was actually a vampire hunter. John Alfred Sharkey, 44, of Toms River, N.J., was held in the Olmsted County jail Wednesday in lieu of $125,000 bail. He was charged last summer, but didn't appear in court until last month after he was arrested on a warrant. Sharkey, who calls himself the "The Impaler," ran as the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans party candidate for Minnesota governor in 2006, when he listed Princeton, Minn., as his address. The criminal complaint says he was running for president in 2007 when the 16-year-old Rochester girl wrote a message of support on his MySpace page. She told police they began dating online, and the threats began when she tried to break off the relationship. She told police that "in a desperate attempt" to get him to leave her alone, she had e-mailed him that she was a member of an elite vampire hunter society and that continuing their relationship would put him in danger. Her father told police he talked to Sharkey, but Sharkey continued to call the girl and write letters to her parents. Sharkey was supposed to appear in court here in August, but got a delay by saying he had been hurt in a pro wrestling match.

Well this story had a little bit of everything huh?  First of all, I'm totally sold that this guy is a real vampyre. Because only real vampyres spell it with a "y" anymore. That's how you can tell the fake ones from the real ones. Anyway what did the police want this vampire/fringe presidential candidate to do when his girlfriend told him she was part of an elite vampire hunting society?   I mean I’m no vampire expert but I’m pretty sure that’s code for I’m going to kill you.  So I’d be fucking pissed too if I were him.  

PS – Who hasn’t used the old "I got hurt in a pro wrestling match" excuse to skip a court appearance before?
