    Never heard of Sister Machine Gun. The Carpenters is correct. Your move, F.

    Jarret Stoll claimed off waivers by Minnesota

    The first game- the first notable thing he does- he takes a penalty, which kind of sucked because they were hoping that he'd help them on the PK. Beyond that, he didn't look bad. Haula had to sit so he could play, and I've become fond of Haula, but Stoll certainly didn't look out of place. I think he's going to do well there.

    Jabba is not "a woman trapped inside a man's body". Three women, maybe, but not a woman.

    I guess we can add "bad snap" to the list of ways the Lions can break our hearts.

    Even Mary wasn't expecting it. Otherwise she'd have said, "Oh, it's Rodgers. Incomplete. Go Lions."

    Fresh Prince of Grand Rapids..

    Hey, as long as Athaniseeyouthroughmyeyebrows can put the puck in the net, he can wear his facial hair any way he likes it. Also, as a woman, I can tell you that plucking hurts and he would have a lot to pluck. I don't blame him for leaving them bushy, but since they're perfectly evenly shaped, I'm guessing he does some sculpting.

    Fresh Prince of Grand Rapids..

    Would have been better had they done some sort of parody. Am I lucky that I'm too old to recognize the original?

    TSN: Pascal Dupuis retiring due to medical condition

    Nothing wrong with putting your health and family first. I hate the Pens, but this isn't about the team, it's about a person. I wish him all the best in the future.

    The person below me game...

    It depends where and when I found it. If I find it at work, I hold on to it and see if anyone claims it. If I'm outside, it's free game. One time my family was shopping and my mom found a $20 in the parking lot. There was no one else around. Mom asked if she should turn it in. Dad told her that she should report the serial number and if anyone claimed it, she should return it. Mom almost did until she realized he was being sarcastic. The person below me has lost something of sentimental value.

    Still... can't.... process....
  18. I liked II the least. It was too slow-moving and mushy for me. III is actually my favourite and I don't care who thinks I suck because of it.

    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! No way! As far as I know, I haven't eaten a dead one. The person below me does something with their spare time or money to help other people.

    Not even close. The person below me thinks that there are more bad people out there than good ones.

    Nope. I only have a Kronwall. Don't have much extra cash for stuff like that. The person below me has tried online dating.

    The person below me game...

    Not particularly. When I was growing up, people valued privacy and didn't air their dirty laundry (sometimes literally) for the world to see. Some of the shows seem fake; others seem too intrusive. The person below me would not believe them if the Finding Bigfoot people actually caught a Sasquatch on film that wasn't blurry and found prints at the scene to prove it.
