    The person below me game...

    My neck is always annoyed during sleep. The person below me has taken diet pills.

    Please, for the love of God

    I realize that many people on this forum weren't born yet when the Red Wings were a bad team. There's a great deal of pride in the accomplishments of one's team, especially when it is improvement over the recent past. After a number of good years, one tends to take it in stride and expect that the prior results will continue, whereas teams with a history of falling short will show their excitement over small achievements. And so, in many ways, the Wings fans of today are like adults who are so busy striving for the Big Prize that we fail to stop and appreciate the lesser accomplishments that we achieve on our way to the Big Prize. And the Blues fans are like children who still announce to the entire household, "I made poopoo in the potty!"

    Oy. Blackberries or blueberries?

    Anyone ever been to Avs games

    Minnesota fans are great. I've had wonderful experiences there. I think if your kids are 11 and 12 they should be able to handle what they'll hear at the game. Just watch carefully so if anyone tries to pour beer on them you can save the day by catching it in your mouth before it hits the poor little minors. Have a great time!

    No one gets my number without good reason. Separate hot and cold faucets or one that controls both?

    The person below me game...

    Nope. I was at work during the time change. The person below me gives their pet human food on occasion. (Meaning food prepared for humans, not food made from humans.)
  8. I got a new hamster! Say Hello to Drew! Andrew Patrick Ian Todd!

    Jack. No one ever says, "You don't know SouthernWingsFan". Better 55: Kronner or Murph?

    Distance sometimes keeps us apart, but I try to keep up with them. Immediate family, anyway. The person below me sometimes gets so hungry that they eat too much and then get too full.

    3/10 GDT : Red Wings 2 at Predators 3

    Can we call Zata, Flip, and Huddie the "two-and-a-half men line"?

    3/10 GDT : Red Wings 2 at Predators 3

    Mickey does the games close to Detroit. Murph takes the extended trips. Not using it myself, but I've been told that this one is good: http://leton.tv/player.php?streampage=fgbgf5fdf&width=600&height=450

    What happened to Zetterberg's scoring touch?

    Ok, well. Now that we know where his scoring is, what say we meet up again next year? Same time, same place, same topic? Between Hank and Pav, these threads are kind of becoming a tradition.

    The person below me game...

    Nope. I have neither. Just a hamster who is all mine. The person below me has a piece of furniture that is hideous and clashes with everything, but has sentimental value.

    This or That

    At the store. Getting hit on at the gym would require my presence there. That hurts just thinking about it. Caramel or cheese flavoured rice cakes/chips/popcorn/whatever?
  20. The other translation: "I was drunk off my ass." Guess which one he's going to admit to considering he was at a high school game. I hate to stereotype, but looking at his picture, he does look a bit trailer trash-ish.

    Smith/Kindl/Ericsson

    Not long ago, we were this high on Ericsson, insisting that he be brought up because he played so well. I agree that we have a gem in Smith, and I hope to see him up with us. I just hope we don't expect too much like we did with E so that even if he's just average at first it seems like a bigger disappointment than it would have been otherwise. If an unheralded d-man played like E, we'd be ok with it. E's unrealized potential and his contract make him seem worse than he is. I'm still not sold on Kindl. I don't know why, but he does not inspire my confidence.

    Smith/Kindl/Ericsson

    Smith played incredibly well. Depth is good.

    The person below me game...

    I should be able to. The person below me can't believe how Vince Neil has aged in the Kia commercials.

    This or That

    Have to have something, even if it is just a small corner of it on a small part of me. Judge your life in comparison to those better off than you or those worse off than you?

    3/9 GDT : Kings 3 at Red Wings 4

    Go Wings! Get goals. Don't allow the other guys to get them. Repeat as needed.
