Chocolate chip is better warm. Sugar is better cooled and frosted. PB is good any time. The person below me has a feeling that the Wings will win the Cup this year.

Last year's game 5 I had to work, so I set the VCR to record the game. I got home from work, ordered a pizza, and started watching. The pizza guy came and said, "oh, you're watching the Penguins game? Hope you set it long enough for the 3 overtimes." I shushed him immediately and hoped he was joking. The tape did not go long enough, and I had to go online to see who won. I work on Tuesday. I have learned. Set the tape for 6 hours, and don't order a pizza.

That's who I was thinking of. Thank you.

For those of you who just joined this thread and don't want to read back over seven pages, I'll summarize it for you: Poster makes valid point, but uses big words. People complain they don't understand. OP is condescending. Some people who do understand are amused. Other people are offended that the OP is condescending. A few people attempt to discuss the original topic. Offended people and people who are amused shush those who attempt to discuss. Topic is off limits for discussion. Thread descends from there and becomes funny to all except those who don't understand why it's funny. It's like Sienfeld. A thread about nothing.

Yeah, as was said, it was a stupid kid trying to be an internet tough guy. Here's what LGW had to say about it if you're interested: LGW discussion of this topic

I only use white toilet paper because red=win and white=loss and losses are crappy.

I agree with the vast majority of what you've written. Sid did not ask for the fame and attention. He has handled most situations quite well for his age. He does come across as whiny after losses, but I chalk that up to disappointment. Who wouldn't feel like crying after losing the Cup? Then 5 minutes later, to have to get it together and answer questions to the media? I'd be in tears. I think that will come with age and experience. He does need to work on his on-ice maturity. It has to be frustrating losing on national tv. Just ask Chicago. Both are young teams, and both were gooning it up after a game was out of reach. They will learn. This is where the advantage of veteran leadership comes in. When you've "been there, done that" with both winning and losing, you learn how to handle both better.

Too busy being impressed with his own manliness, if you ask me. Red wine or white?

You are correct. Both long- and short-term are available. My mother gets them in her knee. I've also heard of players getting both cortisone and novocaine. I'd forgotten about cortisone. Good input

Ah, I see. Yeah, we do just hug and move on. Exceptions being big goals, of course. (see Mac's 97 GWG) Still those little group hugs make nice pics. They could post them and it wouldn't hurt our feelings. That said, if one wants to see pics of Detroit players, I would suggest going to a Detroit site. At least there it's a given.

I don't remember who it was, but I remember hearing stories of someone having to get shots in the groin to freeze it during the playoffs one year, and his teammates having to cover their ears to block out his screams. That's dedication.

Here's one I saw at a game last winter: Personally, I have a red blank and a game-worn Lang. Game-worn are cool, but that fight strap looks silly on a girl in sweatpants. I love it though because I love Lang, and the jersey was my Dad's. You can't go wrong with Lids or Stevie. Or, if you march to the beat of a different tuba, go original. I would love to have a Sammy jersey. As far as what you get, I would recommend asking yourself "For whom do I cheer the loudest?"

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and am not qualified to give advice. In non-hockey terms, freezing is the same as icing. It allows the area to be numbed so it is not as painful. Immediately after an injury, ice is applied to keep down the swelling, which is caused by a disruption of the oxygen flow to the area due to tearing of tissue. During the healing process, it is pain control and may reduce further swelling to the area caused by further damage. In Pasha's case, if he is not fully healed, he will be aggravating his injury each time he plays. Ice will help lessen the aggravation, and will ease the pain. In pro sports, I've heard of freezing used to mean giving a painkilling injection such as novocaine (which I can't seem to spell today). This also numbs the pain during the game, allowing a player to play with less hinderance. I'm guessing that if Pavel is being "frozen" during the game, it is with an injection. If it is after practice, it is with ice. In hockey terms, freezing a foot means applying ice to it or using an injection. Icing a foot means sending it down from one side of the red line to the other side of the ice. This can be very dangerous if said foot is not attached to its original player.

I've seen plenty of group hugs from the Wings. I have a pretty good collection of the photos should you be interested, as does the freep and detnews. The pony ride I would like to see, although I'm sure it pales in comparison to the octopus throw

Games 1, 2, and 5 were on NBC. 3 and 4 were on VS. I will now only watch games on NBC, and will command that the league comply with my demands.

Great. Now I have that stuck in my head and I can't get it out. Pit fans whine about Detroit. Detroit fans whine about Pit's players. Let's hope we meet with someone else in next year's final. We need some variety. The change will be on our side, though. It seems no matter who we play, they mock our city and the Lions since there isn't anything else bad to say about the Wings. Afterthought: I just realized I called Detroit "our city" even though I've never been there. I hope that doesn't offend any actual Detroiters.

Not really. They were pretty good harmony-wise, but if adding random swear words to a classic song is as good as their comedy gets, I'll pass. The person below me prefers this for comedy:

Burger- with cheese and ketsup and NO mustard. Daphne or Velma?

We don't have a Mr. Sub here. I do like Subway though. (BTW, DKM, my inspiration for that question is because I clean restrooms at my weekend job in a convenience store.) The person below me has eaten something that tastes just like chicken but wasn't.

Potsie. I had a thing for Potsie. Check or carry on?

Perhaps he'll get that elusive Hat Trick. Or *****-slap Talbot. Either way.

I didn't find the original post condescending. After people jumped him (her?), and after people ragged about not being able to understand the post, then he (she?) got condescending. I can see why. People have trouble understanding a post that is well-written, but have no trouble deciphering some of the crap that sends my head spinning. Perhaps the OP would have been better received had his (her?) post read: OMG u guys r so fukin 2faced u call it classy if it iz ur tem and u say u r gritty but if ohter teems du the same fukin s*** u go apes*** and u call them goons ur so stupid You have no idea how hard that was to type.

I work 6pm-6am central time Monday-Wed, and 6pm-mid Thurs. No tv. No radio. I don't have a cell phone. I got cable a month ago so I would have NBC for the playoffs. I will be setting the VCR on Tuesday. I just avoid humans. Fortunately I live in an area where no one even knows it's the SCF unless they've asked about my bracelets. When I get home, I read the GDT. It's tricky. I have to cover parts of the screen (get better with practice) and then read the posts and follow the game there. This does not work during the playoffs due to the updating of sigs and the little boxes on top, which are too hard to ignore. I did try to make the necessary edits to view without the sigs/avatars, but I still got an accidental glance at the boxes. Oh well. It works during the regular season. The last game I had to work (game 3- took Thursday off) I just had a guy look it up on his phone. Sorry I don't have any good tips. But I wanted you to know you're not alone.

He's melting down the arguments that he doesn't belong in the HOF.

With your kind permission, may I please try again? I'll try to fit in. Here goes: Pens SUCK! You are all classless goons because you cheer for your classless team. We Wing fans rock because we don't take your crap and we stick up for our guys and we're gonna kick the balls off of you, roast them with yams and eat them for our victory parade breakfast cuz WE'RE CLASSY AND GRITTY!!!!!!!!! Maybe next time I'll try not to spell correctly, if that would help. Better?
