Driving drunk is stupid. Unfortunately, alcohol also impairs judgment. Driving over the limit is almost impossible to judge without a breath test. I had a friend years ago who weighed 85 pounds, and started her day with 3 beers, and then started her real drinking. She had such a tolerance that she could function at work with a six pack under her belt, but it only took 3/5 of a beer to put her over the legal limit. I, on the other hand, am of such a weight that a single drink won't put me over the legal limit. We have spot checks in town where they stop everyone driving on a certain street. I have passed after a drink. However, since I don't drink as much as I used to when I was younger, I'm not comfortable driving with more than one drink, even though I'm legal if I take a couple of hours to consume them. Cheli is a known drinker, and if he registers as barely over the limit, I don't think he would be actually impaired. If he was drunk, that's another story. Having been raised in a rural setting, I am more laid back when I hear that someone had a DWI. Then I think about the difference between driving in Hicktown and driving in Fargo, and compare that to driving in Chicago. I've only driven around Chicago. I'd be scared to drive in the city sober. There's a huge difference when you are sharing the road with more than an occasional cow. I hope Cheli was only legally over, and not actually impaired. In his case, I think this is possible. In the end, I hope what comes out of our story is this: Kids, don't try this at home.

You may be on to something. We are better 4 on 4. The PP will improve when we get Z, Kronner and Mule back. Let's not forget that we also lost Sammy. He didn't hit the net much, but he took the shots. We are now seeing what happens when we don't take the shots. They cycle and cycle until the PP is over or the other team steals the puck.

I do not want Homer to resign. I want him to finish the season and re-sign with the Wings. I think he'll be signing one year contracts from here on out. I'm thinking the next one he signs will be just shy of $2m, and will go down from there as he re-signs. How many injuries he has will dictate how many more years he re-signs. If he resigns, I will sigh; if he re-signs, I will sing.

I could have sworn it was Kirk. It says so on Wikipedia.

Agreed, but does it sound to you like Woods keeps saying "Kurt Maltby"?

Actually, I know (online) a wonderful person who is a huge Homer fan. She calls him Holmer. But then again, she's Canadian. They have more European spellings. Personally, I've always heard Homer, but then I've never met him personally. OH! We have positive proof! The LGW spellcheck underlines Holmer, but not Homer. Homer it is! Thus saith Matt. So it is written; so shall it be.

Abdelkader doesn't have to clear waivers. Plus Abby is supposed to be in GR getting experience, whereas Leino has supposedly gotten his AHL time in and is ready for the big show.

It's been a year and a day since I've been to one. The person below me has worn a wig.

Babcock wised up.

Can you even imagine if we could trade body parts on players? Poor Leino would be headed back to Finland with a broken leg, torn/sprained ACL/MCL, concussion headaches, a couple of shoulder injuries, and tendonitis in his elbow.

So basically the above-linked article is taking the parts that can be blown out of proportion and blowing them, whilst leaving the positive quotes out, and then putting words and emotions in Ozzie's mouth. We should issue that blogger an invite to join here. He'd fit right in.

Everyone scores as many goals as they have letters in their last name. Helm changes his name to Helmoskovichsteinstromson in the third period. Wings win.

Nope. I have my own reality. I like it better than theirs. The mushrooms are sparklier. The person below me doesn't really like waterbeds.

Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man- Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)- the Offspring

No idea. I never go to the facebook or anything like that. If I have, it was probably some sort of cousins posting family reunion pics or something of that nature. The person below me has been at fault in a fender-bender.

Miles Away - Fleetwood Mac (Dawn- it always amazes me how similar our tastes in music are.)

Ugh, yes. I had to work this weekend (no break there), and I go back to the other job on Monday after 2 weeks off. The person below me has watched a porno movie.

I'm a Believer- the Monkees

Fire up the fryer Homer for the Curly Fries.

NICK! Or Bert. Whatever. GOAL!

Oh, Robert. Why, Robert? Why?

Good thing our PK is pretty good. Come on, boys. Kill this thing!

I'm not finding a stream. Adthe or justintv. Anyone have one?

You're right about the first paragraph. I should have said that Mickey had Celiac, which is one of several diseases where a person can't eat wheat. My cousin's kid has that. My sisters have other issues where it does vary- allergies, intolerance- that kind of thing. We just tend to lump them all together when sharing info with each other. You are right, though. I mis-spoke. Mickey does fly during the playoffs, IIRC. I had read somewhere that he doesn't like to go to LA because they don't allow cooking in the hotel rooms, where other places allow a kitchenette. For those who asked about a stream, drumnj had said he's not doing it for a while, so I'm just looking up ATDHE. If you can get a justintv, it's better, but I don't feel like searching around there.
