Great. Just great. Now I have a picture of Gary Bettman as the Stapuft Marshmallow Man in my head. I have chosen the form of the destructor.

Ride My Seesaw- Moody Blues

I don't watch any news shows. The person below me now has "Hard Hobbit to Break" stuck in their head after reading Paul's post about the Hobbit.

Realistically I am not expecting it to happen, but even in the face of the abyss one can still hope for an updraft. Stranger things have happened. Money or possessions?

Hippos are so last year. This year I want HOCKEY. NHL hockey. Red Wings hockey. The person below me wishes that more people were around here for fun chitchat to provide a lighter counterbalance to the heavy pondering and tension of the negotiations.

I only lived there for two months and only went back to visit that town once when I was a child. My baby sister lived in the state for several years going to school, and I visited there a couple of times. The person below me was born past their due date.

I've never had a career. I've just had jobs. The person below me has visited and/or lived in more than 10 states/provinces.

Greed can be a powerful ally. I'm afraid that they'll change them. The original ones were hokey in their own fun, lovable way. The latter three were different- more serious, but tried to be fun. The story line of the first three was more compelling, but the movies themselves weren't as memorable as the original. The best part of the "prequells" was that we got to see how Vader and the Emperor became who they were. The psychological progression of the characters was the best part of the movies. I fear two things from this latest development. First- will Disney remain true to the Lucas vision? Second- assuming the next three movies follow the story arc that Lucas has outlined, will it be anticlimactic? The rise and fall and final redemption of Vader is the real story arc. Sure, we followed Luke during the first movies, but the good versus evil aspect was not the defeat of Vader, but the defeat of the Emperor. Now that the Sith have been destroyed, is there really much worth telling as part of the story arc, or will the next three movies just be a wrap-up for Han/Leia and Luke/Mara Jade and their kids? I'm trying to keep an open mind. When Episode I came out, I was skeptical, but I grew to love it. I still love Episode III. The execution of order 66 still brings tears to my eyes, especially the execution of Aayla Secura (probably because of the contrast to the beauty of Felucia). I hope if the do another trilogy that it works with the others and that they keep the Star Wars feel to them. SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE VII-IX SYNOPSES: Highlight below to read: I also don't want to see Chewy die. He's my favourite.

Hence my guess of 12:01 a.m. 12/21/12. Now that I think of it, maybe I should have gone with 11:59 p.m. 12/20/12. They sign to give us false hope. Oh, well. My guess is in. I'll just have to live with it. Not that it matters, the reptilians will just destroy the prize anyway. They're all Avs fans.

Everything is under control. Situation normal. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly alright now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you? Great fear I sense in me. I have a bad feeling about this.

From that article: That made me laugh. Mostly because I can't do math.

But will he still be pretty? I guess as long as he gets better it doesn't matter. He'll either be pretty or look like a hockey player. Hope it turns out ok for him.

Pretty good for ESPN. I would have expected Gary Sutter.

Actually, scrambled, but since that wasn't a choice, I'll go with boiled. Kung fu or tofu?

Ever since space invaders went out of vogue. The person below me looks older than they are.

I don't know what LCD is, but I'd die without plasma. Christmas lights: Coloured, white, or none?

I honestly don't remember most of my costumes. I remember being a clown and a gypsy, but that's it. Oh- and when I was three, I had chicken pox and couldn't go out. I answered the door (being a big girl since mom was busy with the baby) and a kid in a Frankenstein costume roared at me. I ran and hid under the bed. The poor kid just stood in the open doorway until mom came out to see who had been at the door. The person below me has thought about getting a tattoo but is too chicken.

I'd rent a rink and get as many of my teammates as I could together and practice as a group. If there weren't enough to have games, we could practice PP and PK. We could be our own player-coaches. Then at the end of the lockout, we'd be ready to go, even if it was the next year.

Can we just sacrifice Bettman? You know, just for fun?

Yeah. I don't get into a lot of stuff that is mainstream. The person below me is doing something for Halloween.

Especially at work. The person below me has been at their job for more than a decade.

Home Depot Motorcycle or waterski?
