Sup ‘heads! Headed to the game soon! Unfortunately, I really would like to meet some of yall but I won’t make it for warmups!
Let’s GO RANGERS! Make me proud….I don’t plan on blogging at MSG! But be sure I will be reading comments…
Well, Sutton certainly leaped into Poni. His skates left the ice, so I guess he’s gonna get suspended again. A few years ago it wouldn’t have even been a penalty, but in today’s climate, he’s gone for awhile.
Any word on Sid the Kid’s injury status?
That was a bush league comment, Miami…
305, H, 11-12
LGR!

I need 4 Pepsis and no werewolves.
I need an assistant for my assistant! I’d appreciate it if I’m not blown up, mutilated, or murdered. Th…ank you!
I need a hot tub.
and Arbys and co-star solo card!
Don’t forget a stretch limo to take me where I want to go. I’d also like input on the script with no last minute changes!
Can we film in San Francisco?
I’d just be happy with a single assistant, ORR!
I need Kate Upton in my basement….
George Puny!
Good evening, Carp! LGR!
Ohh, speaking of Upton. She’s in the new [horrible] remake of the “Three Stooges”. She plays a nun in a skimpy bikini getting out of the pool. Great role!
She’s also GQ’s body of the year, or something! Not bad!
Candice is still the #1 supermodel in my book though. If only she was a Rangers fan! That would be too much to take!
mmmmmmm Candice!
Here’s some new Candice pics, just in case anybody needs 15 minutes to

My Brutha from anutha, hi
CARP knows my grammatical-correction comments are purely out of love … his blogs rock, otherwise I wouldn’t visit this site a hundred times a day!
Avery shoots and scorrrrrrrrrrres
My pimputha – what be it?
But putting that aside, who’s ready for a second loss in a row?
That pansie Strawman is good for at LEAST one goal against.
My 3 stars:
1. Avery
2. God, the almighty
3. my sweet lord and savior, jah rastafari
Pimputha – that is a straw man’s argument
