One- U2

I wear my blank red when I have someplace to go where I don't have to dress up, but I don't want to look ratty. I don't wear my Lang unless it is a very special occasion. I wear my "eat, sleep, hockey" shirt to Force games, when I have the time and money to go. I wear my Sweden and Finland jerseys when I am rooting for them, or if the blank is dirty. I also find that the blank brings me luck at the casino.

I don't blame him for being emotional, but after the part where he said that he hoped that the kid who witnessed the loss had a smile on his face, they should have gone on to another topic and let him collect himself instead of Milbury going on about it. Hindsight is 20/20, and there isn't a lot of time when you're live to think about these things, but it's not like they would have had to search far to come up with another topic than JR not winning a Cup. Heck, I get emotional seeing other people lift the Cup knowing I will never do it, and I never played hockey. I can't even imagine what it would be like to play your entire life for it and not get it. I'm not a fan of JR, but I don't blame him for his reaction. I think the others should have moved on faster and let him get a grip on his emotions.

Dion as Captain. Once again the Leafs are making it harder and harder for me to pull for them as my fave team in the East. I might have to jump on the Lightzerman bandwagon.

Stick with what I have. I know the details beyond price. Fight with an enemy or fight with a friend?

Summer Nights- Olivia-Newton-John-Travolta from "Grease"

Actually, I work with two who can work circles around me, and the rest are average. The only one who appears lazy is actually so stupid that he has to retrain himself every five minutes. How stupid? The order was for 24 boxes. He had 20. I had to tell him how many more he needed. He wasn't even in the ballpark. Couldn't even hazard a guess. Mystified. The person below me has worked with someone so stupid that they wonder how the person got in the door without instructions.

Mule. The Mule, that is. Quilt, bedspread, or comforter?

Burish showed poor judgment in this situation. He should have said that Chris Pronger is the funniest-looking douchecanoe in the league.

I love Party Quirks. The person below me has been to a shower (wedding or baby) in the last year.

Who Wants Jack Daniels! (Seriously- WWJD for me) Canned or frozen veggies?

Boys of Summer- Don Henley

I harvested my head! Before: After: Going to Locks of Love:

Generally Lays, but I sure won't turn down Ruffles. Grosser thought: Sushi or Lutefisk?

It sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't have enough weight in the back, so my pick-up isn't very good on ice. The person below me thinks that sometimes this thread could easily be retitled "The smartass answer thread".

I don't get why the lady hockey players were mad. Do they wear skirts on the ice? Nope. Figure skaters do that. Figure skaters don't check like hockey players. That's why they aren't perceived as tough. Oh, wait... The message here is pretty obvious. He plays like a girl. Not just any girl, but a skirt-wearing girl. If they had put boobs on him, it might be saying that he plays like a woman, which I could see them having a problem with. In a skirt? He's a sissy. A *****. A pansy. You could take a pic of me doing something that would normally require pants, and put a skirt on me and it would make me look like a sissy.

I wouldn't mind seeing Fugly on the Wings. He plays both forward and defense. He hits. He's much cuter than any of the ****** choices listed. Plus I really don't think he is quite at the same level of douchiosity as they are.

Nope. The person below me has tripped out on acid.

Legos. I have hundreds (some mine from childhood, others are my Godson's). Finish what you start or

No, but when I saw that, I immediately thought creatine kinase, and had a WTF moment. The person below me runs out of time a lot.

Bullwinkle. Ginger or Mary Ann?

Not unless something accidentally blows away. The person below me has at least one good friend to whom they can vent when things go bad.

I'm over 40, and I vaguely remember my teens and early twenties. I had a blast, but I also saw a lot of friends with self-inflicted problems. Some of them were temporary; some were permanent. A few were fatal. Boys will be boys. He's going to go out and get wasted and all of that. I'm just hoping that he does it safely so that he doesn't ruin his life. He has a lot of potential. It's not like me and my friends spending our party years sucking down booze and popping, dropping, and toking our lives away. This kid has a future. He has the potential to be somebody. I just don't want to see him end up losing it all over a stupid mistake.

Keep Tuzzi and Lilja. Byebye Lebda. Meech can stay or go. I'm neutral. Hope to see Eaves and/or Miller stay, but not sure it will be possible to keep both. Beyond that, I trust mine team to Doctor Holland.

I ran into an old friend last night. He's a Blackhawks fan, so I knew some ribbing was coming, considering how much he has gotten from me in the last decade or so since we've known each other. He was pleased as punch at the Hawks making it as far as they have. I asked how it was that he became a fan. He replied that the Hawks were geographically the closest team to North Dakota at the time he started watching hockey. I had never thought of it that way. I wonder how many other fans over the age of 50 they have west of Chicago for just that reason. Being the daughter of a native Detroiter, Chicago was never an option, although my dad would root for an Original Six team over any other. He would also hope Montreal didn't make the playoffs so that he would not be obligated to root for them.
