As you’ve noticed, the lack of work by me (vacation), lack of news around the Rangers, and lack of progress in the CBA (cough, cough) negotiations have resulted in a lack of new posts.
So here’s one, the easy way. Nothing to say, nothing to add, nothing to do … well, something to do, but nothing that would interest anybody here.
For example, last night the air conditioner went dead. Which is always nice in August.
Hence, here is your weekend post, for your always intelligent, very serious, never frivolous, conversation. Have at it.

Happy Weekend!
jet lag freaking sucks
I’m under a Hurrucane Watch!
Yahoooo!
carolina hurricanes are in town?
Hurricane watches are terrible! They are flooding the market and they can Invicta terrible toll as they Movado through.

Should have gone with the Commando 8.
BrandonPrust8 Very informative @NHLPA meeting today. Good to see so many guys here & involved. #theplayers are united & working to get a fair deal done.
i guess this means that just like prust they are overvaluing themselves and asking for about $500K-$1 million more than they deserve. /sarcasm.
So the MLB Network is talking about this blockbuster deal between the Dodgers and the Red Sox and they say, about the Dodgers, “There is no NFL in LA. The only teams they have to compete with are USC Football and the Lakers.” Next guy says, “Yes there is literally no other team in LA.”
And they just won Lord Stanley’s Cup!

Cant judge a mutha by the skin of her fatha, cant judge a book book by the skin of the cover…read me, read me baby….
Oh and now they are going with, “Dwight Howard to the Lakers and now this deal? The stars are aligning in LA for them to start getting some championships there.”

LW3H- concerning MLB, my cousin has been brought up to AAA with Chi Cubs one step from omg, I first said NHL, I meant majors
should be talking development camp and pre-season at this time.(:
Manny i was just about to post that here too… I just heard it.. I guess they have it on tape now…. what a bunch of idiots.
It’s just too bad. I mean, it’s insane that we are headed for a lockout and people don’t know who won the Stanley Cup or even that teams exist.
Don’t you get good buys on ACs this time of year? Def pays to have someone install it…the back ain’t what it used to be anymore!If you need help-

Red Sox loaded themselves up with malcontents and crybabies and are now paying the price. Even after purging half the team, last night Alfredo Aceves (remember him from the Yanks?) threw a tantrum after not being brought in to close the game and was suspended. His last outing Thursday, he blew the save giving up five runs on six hits with 37 pitches for his seventh blown save. Looks like they haven’t tossed enough loudmouthed crybabies yet.

Just a little something off the beaten path, that you might find of interest. “If a Lion stands at the head of an army of Lions, victory is assured.
“If a Lion stands at the head of an army of asses, the chances are 50-50
But if an ass stands at the head of an army of Lions…you call it quits.

Have n’t had a top 10 list in awhile…
LETS GO RANGERS!!! TOP 10 baby!!
Here we go …
TOP 10 RANGERS
#1 Hank is the best .Period .Elite goalie.
#2 NASH has it all. Speed ,size and strenth. Soft hands and heart.
#3 Callahan’s heart is almost as big as Hank’s.
#4 Richards . Richie Rich is very gifted. This will be his year.
#5 Gaborik. Skilled and very fast makes him our game breaker.
#6 Staal. Every GM’s dream trade to shore up the Defence.
#7 MCDONAGH . Quality player will move up on this list.
#8 Girardi . Logging alot of minutes. Quality defensman.
Only difference, is I did mine (admittedly short) from memory. I did get you to do a little Willie the Shake research, though, which never hurts and should prove beneficial.
Walter,
I know you are. Your irreproachable and exquisite writing style speaks for itself.

Neil Young just called to say that you are like a hurricane and I’m gettin’ blown away.
I see a lot of people like to call you, cooscoos…who else called? Bellevue? :)
Not to say you’re boring, 3C, but after reading your posts for months, my foot continuously goes to sleep and I hope you don’t mind if I join it again.
How fluttering…you’ve been reading my posts for months…how did you manage to stay up reading my posts for month if I’m boring? You make no sense…as always.
Because your terminal boredom, of course, is mixed in with all the other posts.
Awww Rodster…you’re breaking my heart! How will I live on? Awww!

Good morning, boneheads!
The blog has been quiet, eh?
So, it sounds like this week they are going to attempt to close the gap between NHL and NHLPA. They are meeting in small groups, the most important being Donald Fehr and his brother Steve, and Bettman with Daly. Dreger also reports that the league may present another offer.

Tom Petty just called to say: “I Won’t Back Doan.”
RIP to Neil Armstrong for sure BUT…. he did cheat on his wife of 40+ years and later married his mistress… doesnt make Lance Armstrong’s personal life with Crow any less ok but Neil Armstrong isnt exactly perfect himself.
“All I wanna know is… who’s coming with me?”
“Killer, kill yo!”
Does Issac portend the lock-out for sure? It certainly looks as if it is following the path of Katrina -
“First of all to understand what happened to killer, you gotta understand who killer the dog was. Now killer was born to a three-legged bitch of a mother. He was always ashamed of this, man. And then right after that he’s adopted by this man, Tito Liebowitz he’s a small time gun runner and a rotweiler fight promoter. So he puts killer into training. They see killer’s good. He is damn good. But then he had the fight of his life. They pit him against his brother nibbles. And killer said “no man that’s my brother, I can’t fight nibbles” but they made him fight anyway, and killer, he killed nibbles. Killer said “that’s it!” he called off all his fights, and he started doing crack, and he freaked out. Then in a rage, he collapsed, and his heart no longer beat. wow.”
LMFAO I COME IN HERE AND SALLY IS QUOTING HALF BAKED! HAHAHA!
“They was using numchucks, bow’n’ows, they be doing indian burns…and killer paid the price. He got the wrath. The wrath of the numchucks”

So people get their money and that extra money doesn’t reflect in the cap. Doesn’t that kind of make the cap a “phantom” cap? At least for these “grandfathered” in cap hits?

So we’re supposed to believe that just being on the moon suddenly makes a 38-year-old man able to jump huge distances? Not buying it.
Tang = ‘Roids
also, did you see how skinny he was in his NASA photos, then all of a sudden how bulked up he was when he was on the moon?
Yea. He hit that 9 Iron like 178 Yards. They didn’t even have graphite shafts or cavity weights back then!

Got this in an email today:
I was in Florida….and I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read ‘I miss The Bronx.’
So I broke the window, stole the radio and left a note that read, “I hope this helps.”
LMAO Carp! That’s good!
Maybe that person should have put 27 world series rings on the car’s dash. That might have helped as well!

Got this one too. Apologies for the caps, but thats how it came over:
A PRIEST OFFICIATING AT A FUNERAL STARTED HIS REMARKS BY SAYING, “WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO PAY HOMAGE TO A GOOD MAN. HE WAS A KIND MAN, A MAN LOVED BY EVERYONE, A MAN WHO TREASURED HIS FAMILY AS THEY DID HIM.”

Dedicated to newbear:
How can a man go 8 days without sleeping?
Easy – sleep at night.
A blonde called TWA and asked how long a flight from New York to LA takes.
The agent said, “Just a minute.”
The blond thanked her and hung up.

Dedicated to the great mathematician e3:
Problem: If it took 8 men 10 hours to build a brick wall, how long would it take 4 men to build it?
No time at all. The wall was already built.

How can you drop a raw egg onto concrete floor without cracking it?

Dedicated to disappeared ORR:
How do you know if you really like a girl?
Spend evening with her, get back home, take off your trunks and throw it to the selling and if it sticks – you really do.
Maybe we should file a missing persons report on ORR?
To whoever wants to start a family:
1.Family consumes and change everything, hence, before you start a family, think very carefully what is more important to you – everything or family.
2.You will understand what happiness is all about only when you get married. But, it will be too late…
You people are wackadoodles. Makes me feel good that im not alone.
While most of the people that have been in my life for years have been sick of the boston stuff for a long time, i think some of my boneheads are beginning to get sick of it too :)
OK, guys, I’m back from anemic France, already kissed this blessed New York’s asphalt and what did I found? Beloved Blog in self indulging intellectual coma? Morose climate of despair, pessimism, hopeless attitude, with no Promised Land on a horizon, weak anticipation of worse time coming, list of negativity and apathy goes on and on…C’mon! We have to keep this blog afloat till better days and everyone has to contribute, showing that we are bunch of enthusiastic fans, well worth the very team we love and blogfather we like so much.
I know, I know…Optimism – is just a lack of information and my sincerity is just lack of self-control…and all of that, but really with so many wonderful characters here it’s a shame…

The great French comedian Maurice Chevalier used to tell an example of his comic style…thusly….
Three persons stranded on a desert Isle…..three women one man
If they were Italian, one woman would kill one of the other women
If Spanish,One woman would kill both other women,
If they were English nothing would happen for they hadn’t been introduced,
but if they were French…there’d be no problem.
I suppose that if they’d been Russian, nothing would happen for they couldn;t tell the difference?
OK OK, I apologize, but I couldn;t resist that.
Called the Mets box office to get ten tickets to the game. Asked the man, “What time does the game start?” He said, “What time can you get here?”

Some crazy fan (named Bo Beck in case anyone wants to go there and bother him lol) on the comments at THN on their predictions “article”:

That made me weepy, CCCP.
You forget the energy he brought to every single game he played in. Whether you hated or loved Avery he always brought excitement to the game. R.I.P. Avery’s NHL career.
Have to admit you didn’t bore me with that one, 3C.
horrible song choice in the video though
Should’ve used Nickelback.
Should have used the soundtrack to Shaun of the Dead.
With all his yapping and saying outrageous things, he didn’t remember a single word of what he said right after the game.
It probably made it easier for him to live with himself. lol
Avery is the best thing that happened to this franchise post-lockout :)
Yeah, Jagr* and Gaborik*, and of course Tortorella*, don’t count.
Avery really was the BEST.
NHL Network is showing “Though guys of the NHL” ...kinda old program. Eric Cairns made the cut
Yes he (Avery) was the best…the best at what he did…that’s why he was and still is so hated by the players and the blind fans. ;)
When do you think they’ll retire his number? ;)
They’re going to hang it from the rafters at Georgio Armani’s on Madison Ave.
Avery = Putin of ice hockey
When do you think they’ll retire his number?
Same time they retire Zucc’s ;)
Walter, the another good one.
newbear, in what dumb sence?...
4ever, you’re not Asian, you don’t understand, but please don’t be hostile.
Similarity – They’re both undersized egoists who are on a perpetual power play and like to dress up in women’s clothes and do a sneery, campy bogart routine.
This blog gets better into the night, cooscoos, let’s carry on….
Yeah newbear and cooscoos… You two should get a room and give mustache rides to each other.
Avery railed at two cops who responded on a call to his house in California, calling them “fat little piggies” when they simply told him to turn the volume down on his party. He challenged them to a fight, but they demurred, elected to “escort him to the prone position,” then proceeded to cuff and arrest him, no doubt putting a damper on the evening’s festivities. Ho ho.
CCCP, metrosexuals are out, hockey fans are in, believe it. Pace yourself, will you?
3C, again at a loss for wit, needlessly rolls out his nuclear weapons for another dismal, lonely parade.
You guys are so cute together… Wish I could take a picture
Don’t know if you can take a picture, but you’re real good at developing a negative.
I have a digital photo apparat, Rod
Well, then, you’re all set. Apparat your Rod and digit it.
So witty! Hard to keep up with you, son!
CCCP don’t try to integrate into our society too hard, it is not the facile vernacular, but rather assessing the stuff you’re served up in your college and fight with it, pal.
Your society? LMAO!
