turd
huuhuhuh…eddie said turd….huhuhhhhuh
Haha my brutha – great buns poop alike
I got a turd, right here
Turd ferguson was a great SNL name
Sean Connery in jeopardy
Japan US relations – the category.
Sean Connery “I’ll take Jap anus relations for 200 Alex”
Turd is short for Turducken, a favorite meal.
“That’s not what your mother said”
Alex Trebeck: Sean its your turn
Sean : Alex, that’s a nice jacket
Alex: thank you. I got it downtown
Sean: it’s looks really good, is it wool?
Alex: yes it is
Sean: tailor made?
Alex: yes, yes it was
Sean: are they I open on the weekend
Alex: yes Sean till 5pm
Sean: just one more question
Alex: sure Sean, anything what?
Sean: Do they make any for men?
orr with a goal, Redden with a fight?
what is this world coming to?
Gomez with a frown and we’ll have the trifecta.
ilb, Miller actually gets five free games before the ELC clock starts. So, technically, it’s when he plays his sixth game. Won’t matter because whether he stays or goes down, he will play more than five games for the NYR this season. He won’t go down because of the ELC thing.
Thanks, Carp. So need to decide after Thursday. I agree, they probably already decided they’ll burn his first year. He will stay until Torts decides he needs to play in AHL. And he’ll be back again later. I, honestly, didn’t think his speed would look that impressive in NHL
I don’t think we spent enough time talking about the re-emergence of Islanders. Too late. They’re submerging.
Columbus embarrassing San Jose at home 6-1 and Toronto routing Philly 5-1 in Toronto. Although Toronto’s starting goalie got hurt so that may be a problem…
For those keeping score at home there has been no biting yet
Toronto re-emerging too?
Is anyone surprised at how bad Philadelphia looks so far?
Because usually they wait for the playoffs for awful D+G to submarine their seasons? Yeah. A little.
I could have just said goal prevention. That would have been more eloquent.
Islanders entered third period 3-2 up on Carolina. They’re now down 5-3. They had complete turnaround and improved since they played the Rangers last week. Full 360, that is.
5-4.
El Dubiwitz has scored his first of the season tonight in Columbus.
Looks like ?ubomir Viš?ovský contract is really paying off!
Philly being bad doesn’t surprise me. Especially not with Hartnell out. What do they have aside from a few good forwards? That never works. You can’t dress Sestito, Rinaldo and/or Shelley and think you’re going to win with those sieves in goal.
Bryzgalov has been their best player. By far.
Not Counting tonight he’s been good. You’re right. But all I am saying is I am not surprised they aren’t good. Maybe the precise reasons why surprise me but overall, not surprised.
Same with the Capitals. Same dumb strategy, same unbalanced lineup, same results.
watched Dubi play tonight. man he plays a lot for Columbus. also did not realize how good an offensive defensemen Vishnovsky is.
Stravinsky scored for the Firebird!
Rochmaninoff looks very composed tonight. Or decomposed, whatever.
Mussorgsky just made a pass at Rimsky-Korsakov, but the dude ain’t biting.
Milbury is enough to Turgenev your stomach!
Tom Hardy as Bane in TDKR was him impersonating Darrell Hammond impersonating Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy.
Two big games for me tomorrow.
Celtic v Juve, then NYR at Boston.
LGC! LGR!
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now!
Bryz had a great pass out in front to set up Orr’s goal.
It’s better to have a great pass out in front than to pass out on a grate in front.
Ice Mets with 4 ppgs and still lose to the stole brothers
Always put off till tomorrow what you can do today
Hockey is a good skate, spoilt.
I learnt to skate in the Army.
Our kernel was a flake.
I miss anything?
“Big crowd out there tonight, boys, let’s try to win this one.”
Kernel Klink
Our top four lines took the night off, other than that, I think we played well.
Boyle to Hagelin, ” I know it’s a lot to ask, but Try to keep up, will you?”
Asham to Torts on bench: ” I think I can slow that blond kid down, coach.”
Torts: “He’s on our team, Pancho.”
Yeah come on let’s win
We have to get back to Italian Popes. Papal Nunzio.
Defense is highly over rated
Pope Brian the zero
I use Arrid Extra Dry.
Pope O’McBrien.
Ray Ray Lewis XVII
Carp likes your new (old) name; it’s less socially divisive.
Carp doesn’t like first basemen making errors
My Internet connection is slower than Boyle chasing stepan on slushy ice… Bear with me
Ray Lewis 457654367
Someone want to trade me a ‘57 Thunderbird that needs $5,000 worth of work for my ‘99 Vette hardtop, which is rare, but only 13 yrs. old. Advice?
I use baking soda and water.
23,000 miles on the Vette
My best car was a 71 super beetle
Why no like the vette?
Bro in law has 65 or 66 mustang…. She’s a real go getter
A Beetle, though very anti establishment is, ironically, a car of the people. I am not people. At least I don’t think I am. And therein lies my problem.
I want to get a mid 80’s 380 sl coup or a latter day 450 sl
Of course a 911 turbo would be a hoot to drive
Like the Vette, but grass is always greener in the neighbor’s yard, I guess…BTW, I had a 66 Mustang.
That beetle was so fast in first gear. I never lost a race less than 20 ft
Mustang Sally?
I mostly drive a Prius these days or a 4-runner. Both incredibly sexy machines.
A guy paid a migrant to paint his porch in the back of the house and he painted his 914 green with a brush. That’s why you have to say ‘Porshaaaa.”
The Prius is nice – 50 mpg and it sounds like the name of a Pope
I voted for Pope Prius when I was a Cardinal (fan)
Puffing white smoke never a bad idea
I think 914 is just a VW. Porsche is almost Ellen degenerate’s lover’s name
Pope Bendict Arnold calling it a career.
So much for having god’s ear.
Car musical groups: The Cars, (duh), The Thunderbirds, The Beatles, The Bel Airs, REO Speedwagon, The Cadillacs, uh…
I’ve read a few books on Popes over the centuries, and you might not believe…
Well, you probably would.
Pope clement vi moved the papacy to Avignon France in 1348 to escape the plague. Great dinner conversation factoid
Some drunk is about to break in here with” “What is this, a hockey blog, or the Norton Anfology?”
Terry O’Reilly moved his family from Boston to Bangor, Maine to get away from Milbury.
Read a book years ago on Pope Celestine V, (eleventh century, I think) who was a very holy man and couldn’t take the politics and the hypocrisy. Interesting that this guy is the first to resign since then.
Wasn’t that March of 1348,? he asks, as he takes another swig of his Chateau Latour.
Have you seen the Doc on the Milwaukee deaf children and father Murphy? It is disturbing.
It might have been march – the bubonic plague was all the rage… Not as many rats in France
I was an alter boy for 8 years. Oodles of years of cat lick schools…..
No, but I know that the Irish Christian Brothers have declared bankruptcy. Guess why? Sad times we live in.
I was in a Junior Seminary in Texas from age 13-16. Only one there who didn’t know how to serve at Mass, kept it quiet, but paid other kids to take my duty. True story.
Yep – indeed. I remember reading the times’ expose… But this documentary was mind boggling
Jesus, Texas??? Why that hell hole?
A good friend of mine became a monk after college…
Ordinarily, my inquisitive mind would look up the story you refer to, but I get too angry for days when I read this stuff.
I know one guy who became a Felonious Monk.
My friend,,, it will enrage you…. It’s on HBO, I taped it
When I got to San Antonio, I was looking for cowboys, but all I saw were large buildings. Wish I had that naivete back again.
Mea Maxima culpa: silence in the house of god
When I asked in the refectory for someone to pass a fork, they would all say, “say faawk again.” They thought everyone from NY carried a shiv and was in West Side Story.
“Through my great fault” Maxima culpa.
I think I had a Maxima Culpa just before I bought the Mustang.
The Jerry Sandusky trial was another fine chapter..
What do you think about Paterno’s role in that?
Bunch of hillbilly rednecks?
Paterno knew everything
The Freesh report spells it out
Wow. He knew and didn’t want to know? Seems like he pushed everything upstairs and the washed his hands of everything. Lavabo.
Other schools knew about Jerry. College park knew to keep their children far away from Jerry. Everybody knew.
Paterno cared about his legacy. Getting the most wins. He knew. The one I don’t understand is sandusky’s wife….
Paterno was a living icon in Happy Valley and all over the country, if fact, and, like in a Shakespeare play, the tragic fault brings it all down in one fell swoop.
They had something similar with Syracuse basketball, but it seems like the guy skated.
Paterno controlled every aspect of anything having to do with PSU. What meals, when to water the lawn, what size light bulbs….
Jerry “we just horsed around”
Paterno sure died quickly. A broken man
I know a guy who started at center at Penn State, (football) and he said twice a year they had a visit from an FBI agent to warn them about point shaving or other such nonsense. That’s why Louie Freeh and his ilk fail to impress me with all their after the fact treatises.
I know a couple of PSU alum and they defend Jo pa still
They can’t believe it and won’t believe it. You know, in this litigious society, it’s hard to fire someone for anything other than gross and repeated, documented incompetence. The lawyers are vultures.
It’s true….we no longer mitigate now we litigate….
Talk about incompetence, The FBI is still investigating the USS Cole, Yemen debacle, which happened back when Freeh was Director.
I don’t know about the new Yankee Stadium, but in the old one there was a plaque in center field to honor a Cardinal. (I think it was Pius XII.)
Introibo ad altare dei. You must remember that one.
I will go to the alter of god, (to god, the joy of my youth ) follows
Want to hear a funny John Nash story?
I’ve heard of John Waters, but who’s John Nash?
Oh, John Nash, the probability theorist?
I saw that movie.
A mathematician – won a Nobel prize in economics for work in game theory. Russell Crowe played him in breautiful mind
Yes
Well, while at rand, the voices were starting to get more intense. He was at a major conference maybe UCLA, don’t remember,,,,and as he is sitting there…. A guy reading the NYTimes….
Gees, do you use an IBM 650?
So, this guy is reading a front page article on a trip Pope John XXIII was planning and he starts screaming at the newspaper.. .. The guy reading the paper knew John and was concerned what John, what is it? Nash says the newspaper is talking to me can’t you hear it? Silence …. Nash says its obvious. My name is John and 23 is my favorite prime number … The paper is trying to tell me someting
iPad typing with 1 finger lots of auto corrects that need fixing
Then he had to go away for awhile.
LOL
To this day the voices are all still there… He just chooses to ignore them
I love genius stories where the genius walks around faculty meetings with jockey shorts and a Q-tip sticking out his ear.
Funny story, eh?
Yeah – I have seen my share of nuts…
Saw a story about a guy at MIT, like Nash, but sane, who figured out a winning Vegas formula. He went out there on vacations and each time came home with a bundle. He took a sabbatical to gamble and won even bigger, but got tired of gambling and decided he liked the life on campus and gave up gambling. There’s a moral in there someplace.
Paul Erdos – publishing papers deep into his 80’s… Total speed addict – traveling around the would with his suitcase visiting people fir days at a time before moving to the next house
One of my bestest colleagues is a phd from MIT – tells good stories…. Real ugly campus
Love those genius eccentricity stories. Like Glenn Gould, calling up sleeping friends at 3 AM just to shoot the chit.
Berkeley has/had its share of insanity…. UC Santa Cruz is another crazy place – the primary areas are Lie Algebraists and the Hamiltonian Dynamical systems crew… Both relate well to each other … But the sides hate each other … One side conservative right wing fanatics the other liberal hippies…. And they hate each other…
The Courant school of numerical analysis at NYU is a big time program….. Go check it out by hanging out some warn spring day…
Similar story with Lehman Brothers when they merged with Shearson. Investment bankers versus brokers. The in house brokers all smoked, wore sandals and drove Porsches and the bankers had Versace suits and drove 7 passenger Mercedes GL550s. They rarely talked.
Longer train ride but the Advanced institute of study at Princeton has some characters lounging around…
Went to a Penn/Princeton football game out there and they had a “toast to Penn” and threw thousands of pieces of toast all over the field track.
Andrew Wiles now back at Cambridge was at Princeton’s advanced institute for study when solved Pierre de Fermat’s last theorem posed in 1660 or so… Not solved till 1994
I think I read something about that, but I’d be lying if I said I knew the least little bit about it.
Insiders never say they graduated from Yale, they say they “studied in New Haven.” Reverse snobbery.
Very interesting mathematics – his proof is over 200 pages – worked on itvalone 6-8 hours every day for 10 years before he nailed it…
Incredible tenacity. There’s a theoretical physicist now who thoroughly disproved a Stephen Hawking theory re: Black Holes. The guy, now a PhD, of course, was once a plumber and he says plumbing was instrumental in his physics work, and noted a swirling toilet bowl as an example. Love these guys!
It’s true. The patterns that create the postulates, theorems, etc come from a tremendous amount of grinding mathematical chain gang labor….
Got a wife, got a family
Make my living with my hands
Got a big old dog, his name is Dan
Live in my back yard in Birmingham
Meanest dog in Alabam.
Get ‘em, Dan!
I am not a big hawking fan personally
It’s great to be a professor and have a cadre of post graduates and graduate students doing all the work you assign them before you publish the things that make you famous.
My undergrad is EE and graduate degree applied mathematics – always found physicists to be too weird – not my type…
Hawking, it seems, has been considerably diminished among his peers, many of whom don’t like him and think he’s been coronated by an amateur Press.
Every physicist I know would look at cool funny nut so stuff weall lost and judge us to be weak people breathing air we don’t deserve to breathe
I have to find and forward to you a poem I wrote on applied mathematics. Who else would read it but you?
20 typos in that last post
Academia can be a cruel place with all the elbowing and competition.
Hawking is in a chair… Robot voice….ugly as sin…. Great human interest story… The masses love a good freak show
I saw a cartoon in the New Yorker years ago and there’s a guy blindfolded, smoking a pipe, wearing a tweed sportcoat with elbow patches, and there are six soldiers with rifles trained on him. The President of the University is saying to the Dean, “Around here it’s publish or perish, and he didn’t publish.”
It can be very petty…. But the pecking order keels you in place.. A lot like how Dogs predetermine rank and file positions of hiarchy
I got the gist despite the typos. Just put the so with the nut and a slash between we and all.
And change lost to post
Luckily I taught some esoteric, eccentric “English” literature and creative writing, so the Dean and Chairman had no idea what in hell I was talking about and never interfered.
I love writing my stupid nonsense and crack up when you guys join in
I interpreted that as to mean you lost (as in forgot) more than they know.
Kooz – one of my buddies – a renowned DNA biological researcher wanted to know what I was laughing at – it was the next day after the all night Christie jokes…. I sent him the file and he had tears coming down his cheeks he was laughing so hard – that is what I live for
I posted something earlier today in your eccentric dialect and noted that since you were away from the computer for an extended period, they could at least enjoy my feeble imitation.
E3 – Your point is well taken. I used to tell my students that Kafka and a few friends would sit around a couple times a month and Kafka would read to them what he was working on, and the room was in hysterics laughing. Today, he’s seen (even on campus) as some kind of eerie, gloomy madman.
I love professing and lecturing – dont get me wrong – but my serious math work ended long ago …now I am happy teaching – mostly tho – doing our gibberish here in the hope some find it funny
The trial was pretty wacky – Joseph. k had issues to deal with
Metamorphosis I think Kafka wrote too – that was funny and bizarre
Ever read Frank Norris’ McTeague??? A great book – maybe best descriptive American novel ever written
The French had great writers because they knew the hoi polloi, they knew the vested gentry, they knew the farmers, and they knew the peasants. As did Shakespeare. Here, today we are too often stratified. I know a RICH Investment Banker, for instance, who literally does not own a screwdriver. He has a book of workmen whom his wife calls when a picture has to be hung. I’m happy to hear of your DNA researcher with tears of laughter in his eyes. There is still hope!
You know, you mentioned that McTeague book before. I’m going to find it.
Eric Von stroheim did the silent Greed off of it….Norris was a genius
Next time you read Kafka (like you don’t have a thousand other obligations,) try reading him with the humorous wit he meant to offer.
Like Salinger?
Didn’t Von Stroheim play the butler in … what was it? Hollywood Boulevard? I think it was his one acting gig.
I have the trial and metamorphosis …. I read mostly chess books/magazines these days…
Like Steinbeck?
Salinger was a serious dude, but there’s a lot of subtle humor in him, too. When they make you an icon early…you start to read your press instead of disregarding it and doing your own thing. I wonder if that’s why he stopped writing altogether. He would not accept phonies gladly, even if he sensed a bit in himself.
Kooz – once you start McTeague – it won’t end until u finish – amazing writing
Holden was a cool kid
In my yute, I studied chess and horse handicapping while reading Updike and Cheever and racing cars at drag strips. I think I suffer from multiple personality syndrome.
You still play chess?
Holden was the voice. I’m sad for myself that Salinger disappeared.
Charlie whittingham trainer shoe the jock made me $$$$$i mid 80 at so.cal tracks….Chris mccarron Patrick Valenzuela , Corey black Eddie D….
No chess no more. I get lost in the middle. I lost years ago to a black ex con who called himself Quo Vadis, which was dispiriting until I realized he had spent years in the slammer doing nothing but playing chess and lifting weights.
9 short stories pretty trippy…. Fran and zoey just ok…
I remember all of them. They were at Belmont and Aqueduct too.
I study a lot still – few hours every day
Hollywood park, Santa Anita then down south to Del mar
I think 9 Stories is a masterpiece. It’s like Joyce’s short stories before Ulysses and Finnegan’s Wake. Or like Picasso doing portraits before the out there stuff. Those guys could do anything and proved it.
You study the ponies, or chess. Or both?
My sister went to UoK in Lexington ( big horse town) she was a track jock….and another sister lives down the street from Belmont track on the back stretch side
Used to study ponies ... Now only chess
There was a girl jock here who married an elderly Fred Astaire. Forgot her name, but she was tough in the dangerous stretch.
My main plays were 5$ exacta boxes and 100 show bets – I never won a killing butbiwas good for 4-5oo a day but then up all night studying for the next day
Belmont is still a noble track. Ever been to Saratoga? Like going back in time to an old Victorian novel.
Julie krone?
Of course Spac -.good concerts too
Del Mar was the best – where the surf meets the turf
I used to spend the weekends handicapping with the racing form until I realized my life was flying by. Same thing with golf. Cut one out altogether, the other only now maybe a dozen times a summer.
I think it might have been Julie Crone. I know she raced here.
No, Robyn Smith.
I loved secretariet , Alydar ( all 3 triple crown losses to affirmed) my fave was Seattle slew
Right Robyn smith
Daily racing form was like reading the Sunday times – took forever
Slew was a black jet with the heart of a champion
Secretariat was one of a kind. So sad when he died prematurely. He used to lie down in his stall and go to sleep. Very unusual. Saw him win the Belmont by about 31 lengths over, I think, Sham and Forgo. In the stretch, Ron Turcotte kept peeking under his arm looking back in amazement at no competition. Turcotte came to a bad end, too, paralyzed I think.
Yes he fell broke his back – paralyzed. And secretariat is moving like a tremendous machine.
I used to look for horses who had finished up the track in one of their last races, but in 24 seconds or less and moving slightly down in class (a trick that owners will use to get the odds where they want them.) Profitable. You didn’t win that time, every time, but the winners paid large, and if that horse lost, I would bet him the next time and he’d almost inevitably win.
Big Red
Some Trainers in NY would work out their horses quietly in Jersey so their times didn’t appear in the Racing Form, and they would collect big.
Big Red! I remember Turcotte once saying, “Gees, I just hang on.”
Certain trainer/jock combos were gold. Track in so cal were fast . First time LASIX users were always good to bet on
Lasix is banned now, no?
Workout times important 5 furlongs especially
Like chess, there’s a lot to know about horse racing. At least the chessboard won’t cheat.
There is so much doping now it’s disgusting
We might create a probability course using the ponies
Chess is so pure
I try not to believe we’re in a dark age, but…maybe it just seems that way because of all the endless information flying around
You could figure the probabilities and I could write your biography.
Someone said riding was the noblest sport because a horse will throw a King as quick as a beggar.
Far too much information – data mining the new hot it career
I rode one of spectacular bid’s offspring
You heard of this guy, I’m sure, DellaMosquito, or something who the government is now supposedly using for probability theory relative to war, etc?
Game theorist?
Neat. He was in Secretariat’s bloodline, Bold Ruler, I think.
I think so, but he has some other esoteric name for it. He won’t divulge his methods, but they’re all math somehow.
Game theory is fascinating area….not mine… My wife’s phd is in econometrics and she has a masters in applied mathematics -,she is more familiar with this area
Wow. Strange the people you meet on hockey blogs.
I will check it out for u
And we’re both hollering: “Shoot the damned puck!” Love it.
There are some smart mofos on this blog – many clever and funny
I fouled up his name, but it’s something like that. Not sure if it’s Princeton or MIT (or Harvard, for that matter)
His name sounds like a mosquito.
I just like to laugh – I am simple. I love doing JR
I laugh all the time on this blog.
Harvard is pretty weak doubt it’s there
Was there a JR poster or is he fictional?
Surprised CIA allowed his name to float publicly – stuff he’s working can cause not so accidental accidents to happen
Someone said yesterday something like, “Why is everyone so abscessed with Boyle?”
Jeramy Roenick – former player now studio host
I saw that … Those you just smile to yourself and hope it was a typo
CIA is in a dreamworld IMHO. Got a relative who worked there. Could tell you some stories, but we’d all get arrested. Wouldn’t surprise me if they monitor hockey blogs, but the FAA renews flying licenses of dead hijackers and the CIA reads about it in the NY Times.
I think it was Stranger, and I assume he knew exactly what he was doing :-)))
I mentioned to Carp on here that my check hadn’t arrived for January. He said the I get the same thing as E3 – zero. He added that he’s in the same boat.
S. nation is a funny dude
I donate everything to charity
Yes. There are a few scorers here on various lines.
Gravy was funny today – Latona cracks good ones – cccp makes me laugh – LW is always funny – manny rolls – Jimbo is hysterical – Matty is funny – Olga crack me up constantly…. So many funny and different senses of humor
You and I have good rapport – NYR fan is another good roller – quick and clever…
And the Fat guy’s no slouch.
I dropped a jr line today that I don’t think anyone got too bad I thought it was good
Sometimes I feel bad when I break up an ongoing serious hockey argument with some inanity. But it makes ME laugh.
Right – carp too busts some funny out – Ilb, tiki. CTB – all smart and funny
Which was it? I often laugh heartly, but don’t give written credit.
Jr called Milbury brainy and a suit of intellect
All of them. What a surprise on one blog. Carp said something the other day, like: 1. Coos, would you please cut that stuff out.
2. Very good point you made about…
He’s as funny as any. His story about his snowblower with the headlight had me rolling.
I saw that. I think you had about five in a row, so that one got lost before it was appreciated.
I have 1 hockey post for every 400 nonsensical posts…. But I crack myself up
I was thinking easier suit oh intellect – but it loses a lil
When you get serious, I think everyone stands back. Then, they look back at the name and read it again.
I like your posts a lot – you crack me up – along with Olga the most….
I wrote a story once in the dialect of a Mississipian and he talks about the Chains of Commerce (as opposed to Chamber) and considers himself a Pillow of the Community.
I think that Carp, now that you’re Eddie Eddie Eddie again, will work on Olga
There were some who felt like there were certain cliques – but even if no one ever acknowledged what I say I am ok… I make myself laugh
I am laying on my pillar as I type in fact
Know what you mean. Tom Waits said, “I get along with myself so well I can hardly believe it.”
You mean Olga’s name? Hmmm ya think carp didnt like the e3 name? Wonder why?
Here’s a strange thing – There was a time when I though it hypocritical to be humorous only in company, so I would tell myself funny things out loud, alone, even in an elevator. It started to get out of hand, so I went back to internal.
He complimented you on the Eddie thing. I think the pimp reference made him pucker his lips, but he accepted it from you.
I like to crack others up but the fear they just don’t get it exits…. I make my students roll on the floor when I get on a good set of funny
The pimp thing was in regard to Miami pimp’s cancer – I said many prayers for him and adopted him as his angel
There was no malice with that…. But now Bach to Eddie 3 times
I once told a joke in class about a guy who pulls up to a gas station and he has three penguins in the back seat. Gas station guy say, what are those penguins doing in the back seat. Guy says this morning they were in my car. Gas guy says you better take those penguins to the zoo. Three days later, he comes back for gas and the three penguins are still in the back seat wearing shades and sunhats. Gas guy says, I thought you were going to take those penguins to the zoo. The guy says, “I did, but today they want to go to the beach.” Twenty two kids just stared at me. What’s happening to our youth? I was waiting for one of them to ask if it was going to be on the test.
Ah, see how dense I am. Pimp’s Angel. I came in after all of that.
I loathe that question. “Is this gonna be on the test” look darlin, if its important enough for me to mention it , I do declare a slight chance that your assen be seeing again and ye right soon
BTW, these are college juniors and seniors. Guess that particular class was more sophisticated than I. Good results elsewhere. I guess it was one of those Don DeLillo White Noise buildings.
I did see Carlo liked the switch back to the original Eddie three times
Yeah there was nothing sinister with e3 blah blah blah … But like the 3 eddies more
To class: “Knowledge isn’t power until it has been applied.”
“Is that going to be on the test, I mean like, do we have to memorize it?”
“No, it won’t be on the test and you don’t have to memorize it, but I suggest you do.”
Well mate, I be getting sleepy I will be up 6 or so my time to play yet again
Roger. Peace out.
What will this test cover?
Answer – everything we discussed and some of wasn’t discussed
Peace be with you
Anyone know how I get to the Rangers blog?
What was that all about? For the love of God…new post please!
Good morning, boneheads!
LMGO, boys! Keep it going.
That was the strangest series of posts…. Woah.
No question that tonight is a statement game. We beat the Lightning twice, we beat the Isles. We lost to the Debbies in the middle there. We are back on the right track, but if we belong in the class of the East, and I am not sure we are there just yet, we need to beat the team that many believe will hoist the cup, or at least come out of the east, and do so in the own barn. Let’s go Rangers!
Game tonight?
Original 6?
be nice to win a roadie against a good team…
Good morning ya’ll.
Would be pretty sweet guys if the Rangers wore their Heritage jerseys and the Bruins wore the classics with that Bear as the logo.
I think that conversation was a Turing test
OK, I practiced skating this morning at the 6 AM session and after an hour broke my blade clean off inside the rivets…will see what that means for the Blueshirts tonioght. I’m not superstitious…
Am I the only one who adds the Charp to my Microsoft Outlook Calendar at the office?
Losing to the Rangers again has caused the Lightning to
panicPanik: http://lightning.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=655207don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t throw her out of bed for eating crackers, but why are we watching Eva Longoria on CNBC, and what kind of world are we living in that she was asked to ring the opening bell? I mean, she’s spending her interview time talking about what kind of potato chips she likes to eat? Am I missing something?
Morning Carp!
Rangers on a roll with a younger, faster team. How do they stack up against Boston?
Personally I can’t wait to see Kreider-Miller-Cally bang against Boston. I’m thinking the Captain America line could be the difference tonight. Unless Gaborik decides to steal the show with another hat trick!!!
LGR!!!
Israeli hockey team now champions?

Carp, possibly weird stalkerish question: do you know if the Rangers still stay at the Ritz Carlton in Boston? That’s a block from where I work and I thought I might head down there to catch them before they go to the game tonight.
Morning ‘heads. It’s a great day for Rangers hockey!!
Fat Guy – the Charps are in my calendar too! And as far as that airhead Longoria goes stick her back on TMZ where she belongs. But if you want more of her turn on fox business news. Hopefully Stuart Varney will Carp her good.
LGR!!!
I think the Bruins are going to the finals….little early for predictions, but they are fast, tough, excellent forwards, balanced, real good D and as always if Rask plays like a playoff goalie they will be a nightmare to win 4 games from. Sorry ‘bout that
Fat Guy – remember the Mayans said ‘civilization’ was ending – not the world. Eva’s chips not so exciting, Selma Hayek’s melons – that is another story…
StuBickel how long after his resignation do u think it’ll take @Pontifex to change his avi to a pic of him sippin margs with babes on a beach?
tool.
Good morning, Carp!
Doodie, thanks for sharing that link yesterday :)
A new post would be nice. No need to keep scrolling thru last nights inane chatter between goofy and goofier.
Lev – I don’t know about @Pontifex, but it will only take me 10 seconds
and by babes, I mean schwing
Hedberg – whoever gets out of the will face the undefeated hawks in the finals. The 1972 Miami Dolphin record will be broken.
east
Schwing Schwang schwlong
If the Hawks make the finals, I hope Jim Belushi and Vince Vaughn throw out the first puck
I’d be careful pronouncing Boston a favorite to come out of the East yet. While I agree with everything hedberg said, I’m not sure their defense is mobile enough. It is tough, solid, but not mobile. They may have issues against faster teams. And after Chara, the drop off is substantial. Johny Boychuk could not cover Gaborik last time, while Chara was busy dealing with Nash. And as much as they all like Dougie Hamilton, he is still very young and prone to defensive mistakes.

BORE salino.
so Boyle will still be in a suit and tie again tonight. feels like a smart move.
Good morning, Sally!
Rob, sorry, I don’t know.
watch Boyle get Wally Pipped by Miller-sy
Anybody want Jordin TooToo anymore? He’s essentially a spare tire on the Red Wings. Playing about 8 Minutes a game and doing essentially nothing. He might be cheap.
Backes calling out his team for playing selfish.
Rangers are very unselfish and Backes is very awesome. I think he should come play for us!
I’m Awake! Sorry to all about that. I thought there would be a new POST. Hey, all you guys and dolls go to bed at 11:00 anyway on work nights. :-))) I got the horse right here.
I wish my address was 22 Twain.
I got a thoroughbred, right here
That would be “loverly” The Doctor. He can even have an “A” when he gets here. Why not. Sorry Brad!
Ahhhh McKoooz – my arch nemesis. Back for more eh? Touché – en guard – (flicks wrist really fast)
Speaking of potential targets, you know who I’d really like?
“Who???”
Stephen Weiss. Pending UFA, Florida pretty meh. I like that guy.
As the Duke said to Brodeur and he crossed over to enter the castle, ‘Sit down, you’re rockin’ the moat.”

Rock the moat, don’t tip the moat over, rock the moat…. Great 70’s pop music
Along with “everybody was Kung fu fighting huhhhh, those cats were fast as lightning huhhh”
