55fan

Wasn't that Brett Hull, said when they were told in 2001-2 that the Wings were too old to win a cup? I believe he said it to Chris Chelios. I'm going from memory here. I could be wrong.

MRI's are better, especially for the brain. No ionizing rays or whatever they call them, and the pic is clearer. The person below me believes they have been reincarnated.

Salt, but not much. Hate pepper. Ickyickypoo. Water from a bottle or glass?

Gone and Done It- Shania Twain

I see the need for the rule. I know how it feels when other teams' fans come here and act like idiots. It is annoying. If they come and bring a different point of view to the table, and add to the conversation, that's wonderful. If I ever went on another site, I would be sure not to use 55fan as a name. The question is whose name I would use.

You did sign well on D, but I really like Gonchar, and I don't think he'll be easily replaced. Top 3? Only time will tell. The Hawks have been weakened this summer. I really don't see them as a threat next season. Between the Cup Hangover and basically re-organizing their lesser players, they have a lot of work to do to ice a contender. Once their new guys get some time together, they may well be on the road to more success, but not this season. EDIT: Forgot to add- I don't think I've seen too many people misspell Staal. Usually it's only the ones who can't spell anything else. Don't take it personally.

Only 4 topics: "Will we ever win that big goblet thingie?" "I wish we had Luongo back" "Why haven't we re-signed Lilja?" "How do you get ice to freeze on a floor? I've only seen it in cubes."

Seriously? Not saying that she isn't, but she strikes me as a more real person than what guys usually describe as "hot". Of course, you are not a usual guy... Nice family. I'm kind of surprised that he is willing to play in GR since it means time away from the family. I mean, there are road trips in the NHL, but at least they have home time. If he plays in GR (assuming the family stays in Detroit) then he has to be gone all of the time, only coming home on occasion. I would think that the family would stay so that Ella's school and Wendi's work can stay intact. Plus I would assume that they have child care for the twins already in place. It's not easy to move a family, and I doubt he'd do it for just one year. But I'm sure they've talked it out, so if it works for them, it's all good.

Grey. It seems more natural for me. Which is why I dye my roots. Blond or Blonde?

Nope. They're on my mid-grade list. The person below me gets gas often rather than filling the whole tank at once.

Don't worry. We have plenty of serious types here. And most will have good reason for their predictions. There will be good conversation in the thread. Seriously? Caps in the east; Sharks in the west. Caps win it 4-2.

I had thought the Packers were owned by the city. Thanks for expanding my knowledge.

Thrashers over Oilers 4-1

Heart of Glass- Blondie

Oh, no. That means that you have 80% of the people showing up 50% of the time, and 100% of the people showing up 50% of the time, which means that 75% of the time, you have 90% of the people present, but if each gives 110%, then you have 100% effort for 75% of the time. If you work a standard 9-5, you then have 2/3 of life spent away from the office 5/7 of the week and 100% spent away from the office 2/7 of the week. Since this leaves only 5/16 of the week spent at the office maximum but in reality, only 75% of this actually happens. So your team is really only 5/12 there. And this is assuming everyone gives 110%. Tuh. And people want coffee breaks? I am more familiar of the factory version of "team". In a factory setting, the concept of "team" involves shifts. Each shift thinks that they do more work than the others and that the other shifts are favoured and get by with more. The shifts are grouped into departments, none of which do related tasks, so each department feels that they are more important than the others, but are ignored in favour of the pet departments. The departments then are collectively known as workers, who feel that management are stupid tools who are out to get them. Conversely, management feels that the workers are ignorant grunts who can't do anything right. The sad part is that everyone is correct in their assessments. The person below me likes Papa John's, but feels guilty about not eating Little C's.

Pink if it's handy. Yellow can smudge sometimes. Alps or Rockies?

^^^ Thanks! ^^^ Does anyone have other pics from that calendar?

Is it that time of year already? Why, yes! It is! Pre-season is just around the corner! He really looks at home in that Wheel, even though it's new to him professionally.

Dog tired. I spent the morning after work on the phone with the stupidest woman on the planet. Then I slept for 2 hours. Then my bf came over and fixed my roof. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. Then I slept for 40 minutes. Then I got up for work. Now I am home. As soon as Johan has his run and is ready to hit the hay, so am I. The person below me likes spicy foods.

Can I go with Cheechoo? No? Ok, choo-choo. Fish with breadcrumbs or batter?

No tattoos here, but if I had tattoos, it would be not regretted due to the fact that they would be a Winged Wheel, a Detroit Lion, and the Luther seal in not-so-visible locations. The person below me is anticipating something special.

Walk in. I hate porta-potties. I'm portly, so I don't fit in them well, and they don't make portly-o-potties. Judge based on the effort or the outcome?

I don't have a waffle iron, so I guess I'll eat frozen. Scott McGillivray or Mike Holmes?

Yes, indeed (says the person who just cleaned out the fridge). The person below me is thinking Arby's.

Not all the time. Every bunny loves some bunny some times.
