    Indifferent manner. Elk or moose?

    Fingernails. Can't use the toenails to scratch my back or nose. Love or money?

    The person below me game...

    No, I like silent noses. The person below me has at least one tape/record/cd/8-track of Barry Manilow.
  4. My cable company doesn't carry NHL network as they don't offer Centre Ice. They stopped carrying that in 2004 because only 2 people signed up. Um, fall of 2004? Gee, I wonder why.

    Ed Belfour

    If Howard fails miserably (and that is IF, not saying he will) and Ed is available at the trade deadline, we might get him for cheap. Otherwise, I'll take my chances with Howard.

    articulated and debonair? OK.

    How did you know? The person below me has cut their toenails in the last 48 hours.

    Both. I usually don't have the Sirius in the truck unless I'm going to be driving for a ways, so I listen to FM. Chap stick or Carmex?

    I wish I had a garage. My bedroom is the home to the mystery boxes. The person below me thinks Shanny would make a good commish.

    Actual books. If I'm listening to something, I get distracted too easily. nylons or panty hose? - which do you call them?

    Dollar bills (to catch up with Casey the page) and wax off. I hate being waxy. Bagging mower or letting it fly?

    Not sure I'd be thrilled if we didn't have to shave, but I know I wouldn't mind not shaving. Actually, I don't do it often at all. My legs don't grow hair except in a small, sparse part on the front. The pits are another story, but again, it's a small area. The person below me has boxes in their house whose contents are forgotten.

    Holland "Not Optimistic" about re-signing Hossa

    Not saying this is happening, but the Wings can get a pick for his rights and then still negotiate with him after July 1. Same deal as before, but with pick thrown in.

    Your best moment this past season

    Dad passed away about a month after that. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the cash (that game was my Christmas present) and go with my sister some time. Back on topic, the Winter Classic was a great memory as well, as was Hossa fighting. Mom came running in from the kitchen to see that one. The aunts were bewildered.

    Wings select Tomas Tatar at 60th overall

    This looks to be one sweet Tatar. Is anyone else predicting dumb jokes popping up in the future? I yam.

    Your best moment this past season

    My dad and I went to our last Red Wings game together, and Datsyuk scored in the shootout. It was an amazing goal, and the Wild fans around us (who were really cool people) were just in awe.

    Make the Trade!

    Stuart turned down Calgary to re-sign with us. They offered more, but he didn't want his step-daughter to have to go through customs to see her dad in California. Even though he is from Canada, he thought it in the best interest of his step-daughter to remain in the US until she was an adult, hence his NTC. Says a lot for the guy, if you ask me. I remember this because I got in an arguement with my dad. I had said Stuart turned down the Flames because he wanted to stay in the US, and dad argued that the Flames were a US team. It was the first sign that he was starting to go downhill mentally. I had to remind him that the Thrashers were now in Atlanta. If we're looking to trade Stuart, we need to offer him an American team, preferably one out west. As for the original post: um, it was, um.....original.

    This or That

    Real thing. Many diet sodas have a sweetener that makes my legs/ankles/feet swell up to huge proportions, and sometimes I get cellulitis. I have scarring on my lower legs from it. Fortunately, I found out what was causing it and avoid diet soda. Now life is good. Batman or Robin?

    The person below me game...

    I do, as long as it's not for long periods of time. All my friends are becoming grandmas, so it's not too hard to find kids. The person below me can relate to even if they happen to be female. (Must be the Redneck in me.)

    Goodbye Cheli Thread.

    If no one signs him, do you suppose he'll play for fun? Can you imagine having him on your team in a beer league?

    2009 NHL Entry Draft GDT

    I was just joking about Lilja since they mentioned he was a fighter. But now that you mention it, he is really more Kocur-like.
