Badminton. Wine or wine coolers or kool-aid?

Love My Lips- Larry the Cucumber

If it fits and is dishwasher safe, it goes in. Pluck your stray eyebrows, shave them, or let them run wild?

Call, no. Text, yes. The person below me eats yogurt.

Fi. For the obvious reason. If you're tired but only have an hour of downtime do you: Take a nap, drink caffeine, have an energy drink/shot, or do nothing?

I vote libertarian. It is really the closest thing one can get to "none of the above". The person below me sometimes gets itchy for no reason at all.

I'm sure a lot of players will sign with their current team, but it's nice to see who's out there and what their cap hit is. Thanks for posting. I want that Lidstrom guy.

Pretty much what harold said. I voted too harsh, not because he doesn't deserve 25 games, but because 25 is a value, like money. You find the value of something by comparing it to similar things. The value of your home or car is assessed by comparables. There is a market value and it depends on what people will pay, or, in this case, what comparable infractions have received. The non-suspension of Weber happened early on, and therefore set the tone of the playoff suspension value for this round of the playoffs (thus being a perfectly acceptable conversation topic). The post-headshot era is looking to this year for setting a tone. The tone has been more of an arpeggio.

Hmm, I'll take the Kings in the west, but overall, I'd like Florida. Right now I'm Florida LA Ottawa St. Louis The person below me likes building things.

I'm not into comics, but I'll go with Superman. Cuz he's... super, man. The person below me is rooting for the Flyers for the sole reason that they want Pitt to lose.

I like mayo for a lot of things, but dogs, burgers, and fries are not on the list. Fries? Never heard of it. Roller skates or roller blades?

I voted yes, but I could easily be wrong. I could see him staying as a way to keep Lids. I do think they'll go out together since Homer picks him up and Nick is a man of habit on gameday, not to mention that they're great friends. If we get Lids on the cheap on the condition that Homer stays, I'll be happy to have Homer back (not that we'll ever know this detail, of course). Homer could be effective as a 13th forward. I think that if he's the understood healthy scratch, he'll be more rested and able to play when needed. He'll have something to prove when he hits the ice. He can provide a lockerroom presence even if he heads to the press box during the games, yet can be called upon to hit the ice with a veteran presence if needed. Personally, if we have more than one injury to the regulars and we've called up a kid, I think that the stability of a veteran is needed. I think Gus will be up next season as a regular, and if we are in a situation where we have 2 forwards injured, I'd rather call up one kid and have Homer filling in for the other rather than having that much inexperience on the ice when a big gun or two is out. I'm arguing against what I voted. I think I'm just trying to justify keeping him around for the Winter Classic. Then after that, he can retire and get hired by Red Wings tv to interview the players. That would be tv worth watching.

My mouse hovered over each choice and went back and forth. I finally settled on yes. He has every reason not to come back, and every reason to come back. I'm hoping that he gives it one more season with Smith up to learn from him. Whether he stays or goes, I'll understand his decision, but I hope he comes back. No one that great should leave his home ice for the last time amidst a chorus of boos.

I'll be watching as much as I can for the love of the game, but I want to see the Panthers win. Tomas Kopecky winning a cup every other year with three different teams is enough to assure me that the world is going to end very soon and I will not have to pay off my credit cards. Plus Sammy is there, so that's 2 men from my past who could win it. If not the Panthers, I'm quite cool with the Kings or Sens, although I might have to flip a coin to choose between them if needed.

The journey is part of the destination. The streak was a peak. The playoffs were a valley. Let us not slog through the valley of the shadow of death without remembering that we climbed the mountain. Perhaps it was the height of the mountain that made the plunge seem farther. 14 teams did not even make the playoffs. 14 other teams will end their season, like we did, with a loss. Only one team will end the year holding the Cup in their weary hands and kissing it with their sweaty beard-encircled lips. This is the dream destination. We must climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow til we find our dream. This is our ultimate destination. This is our journey. Don't stop believin'.

It's playoff time, and that means traditions. Are you planning on growing a playoff beard? Wearing playoff bracelets? Here's the place to share your stories and pics. There are many variations and superstitions. Let's hear yours! Do you shave after the last game of the regular season, or the night before the first game? Is trimming the beard allowed? Do you decorate your bracelets beyond the standard "red=win white=loss"? Have you done either of both of these before? Now is the time! This is the place! Personally, I'm doing the bracelets again. I'm sticking with the beads (initials of each player for each goal scored and the goalie if the other team fails to get by him). I want another year like 2008: I'm excited for the playoffs. GO WINgs!

Cutting off the bracelets was painful, although not physically. Poor Hudler. At least he got his initials on one...

Time to pay up. The address again?

Just to clarify: Had it happened in a game seven overtime situation, and we lost, I'd be clammoring for his balls on a stick.

I want to *****-slap him. Laughing all the while, of course. Kind of like when someone plays a practical joke on you and you get pissed, but not really angry, and you call him a bastard and smack him. (Or at least that's what you do if you're a girl, as I am.) He pulled it off. It was a ***** move, and one that is certainly not within the rules, but ***** move or not, he had his wits about him. Watch out, Legwand. Kharma's a *****.

I try to grow them, but with work it doesn't happen very well. I just try to keep them from breaking off. Celery: Plain, cheez whiz, or peanut butter?

No. I've never gotten into it. I don't hate it or anything, but I don't get excited about it. The person below me is a Star Wars freak.

Never heard of it. The person below me has a being of the opposite sex in the room with them right now.

With people, I call them what they want to be called. With animals, I get cutesy. My dearly departed hamster was named Niklas Mathieu Daniel Robert, but his nickname was Little Nikky Homerbutt because he'd hide in his tube and his butt would stick out. It looked like what a goalie sees of Homer. Thick or thin crust pizza?
