    Cheli wants to play until he is 50

    Nice sentiment and well put. I give you the

    The person below me game...

    Nope. Not into baseball. The person below me is still trying to shake the image of a naked Calvin from their mind and is glad that they only have the cartoon character for reference.

    I never really did. It's been a long time. The last ones I saw were terrible. The person below me wears pyjamas.

    Julie. I've always loved the Sound of Music. Fishsticks or Chicken nuggets?

    It's the off-season. What do we have to talk about if not possibilities? The person below me thinks that Ozzie will make it into the Hall.

    You look better exiting? All that work at the gym must be paying off. Treat. Lemon or Lime?

    Nope. Hunt's. Actually, I go with the local generic. It's pretty much the same. I'm kind of surprised by your question. The person below me is about to correct me that it was not a question.

    Why, cluck, of course! Enter or exit?

    The person below me game...

    Nope, I worked the night shift. I've been sleeping all day. Tonight I have things to do but not outside. The person below me is kind of sick of dealing with certain traits in people.

    Osgood NOT Hall Worthy?

    ...and if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass. Any of those "ifs" could just as easily apply to anyone (as LeftWinger is pointing out). No Statue of Liberty, and the Avs could have repeated in '02. One less crossbar, and the Wings could have repeated in '09. MA Fleury doesn't sit on the puck, and who knows if the Wings would have been looking to repeat this season or looking for vengeance for '08. How many things are out of the control of the goalie? Had Pronger successfully nailed Stevie in '02, would the Wings have still gone to win? Would we have won with a healthy Schneids and Kronner in '07? What if we'd gotten Edler instead of Franzen? What if the Kings would have said, "Late round pics don't matter much. Take a shy Russian this year and maybe we'll settle for a skinny Swede sometime too."? I'm sure you all see the point, and that you all know this. A goalie can be the most important member of the team, but he win games by himself. The only thing a perfect goalie can guarantee is a tie, and even that is a bold statement. Someone has to provide the scoring. Ok, Ozzie can do that too, but not every game. The next couple of years will make or break Ozzie's quest for the Hall. A Conn Smythe would clinch him IMO, but he can't do that by himself either. Only 4 guys get in at a time. The question will be whether or not there are 4 guys who are considered better than he is each year. If he doesn't get in, I think that this is where he will lose it.

    Lawn, I guess. We don't have much woods in these parts due to the lack of trees. Oink or moo?

    PC. Baby sister has a Mac and loves it, but I like my PC. Plaid or stripes?

    This or That

    I've never met coffee I like, so neither. Gloves or mittens?

    This or That

    Summer. Still waiting for it around here. Peach pie or pumpkin pie?
  15. 55fan

    This or That

    Trick question! Only summer and winter have solstices. Spring and fall have the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Bobbing for apples or 3-legged race?

    The couch and loveseat are from 1975. Earthtone paisley and flowers. Not my choice, but they were free. Beyond that, the wall behind the toilet does have some small flowers on the wallpaper, but there's a nice big shelf covering it. The person below me has/has had braces on their teeth.

    No time to be bored. I'm still locked in a room with a chair and suitcase in another thread. I only know the neighbours across the street, and they're pretty nice. The person below me has held a job which involves cleaning nacho cheese out of a steel canister that has been sitting in a water bath for hours.

    1997 Wings/Flyers Flashback

    I agree that Nick isn't mean and can't be made to look mean. I'm not even sure JonE could either. Vladdy could be pretty when he wanted to. He just played mean. Yeah, those days were fun. Vlad, Mac, Kocur... oh, yeah, Stanley too. Good times in '97. Until June 13.

    No gum for me. Snus, yes. Gum, no. The person below me has never done anything illegal.

    This or That

    Never socks. Winter or summer. Only if I'm bowling. It's a family joke that I have 8 pairs of socks and only wear them when bowling, even though I've only been bowling 3 times in the last decade. (My mom used to sell Avon.) Arabians or Clydesdales?
  21. 55fan

    This or That

    Shower. Due to back trouble, I have problems getting in/out of a bath. Pity. I love bubblebaths. Herbal or fruity scented shampoo/conditioner/soap (pick all that apply)?
  22. 55fan

    The person below me game...

    Nope. I'll be going to work, and that's it. And here and the locked room, of course. The person below me used to be able to pop a wheelie on their bike. (I never could.)

    The person below me game...

    Nope. No Bears. The person below me has tried the locked room game in the other thread.

    Oh, dear. I know where my mind is, but I have a feeling that isn't what you mean at all. Ok, then. Knockers. Nacho doritos or Cool ranch?
