    1/24 GDT: Canadiens 1 at Red Wings 4

    It is a legit phrase. I was just making a joke. No offense intended.

    Geesh. You'd think that they have some sort of building manager to keep it from moving around. I guess we'll have to be nice and loan them our visitors' one tonight. Wings win tonight in regulation. Nowadays, that's a bold prediction.

    This or That

    Garden, with french dressing. (side note here: Last night I was looking at the "person below me" thread and I had a great idea for this thread, but no one had commented in this one. Now I can't remember what that great thought was .) White or wheat?

    The person below me game...

    My thought was "Hey! I haven't seen him forever!" so I guess that's closest to the last one. The person below me sometimes listens to music from over a century ago.

    Oddly, no. Stevie just works for me. If something happens, I'll worry then, but he is one of the few vehicles that I've always just figured would behave himself. The person below me has been sucking cough drops.

    No- wait- does Labyrinth count? The person below me discovered recently that the Shrink Fairy once again snuck in their house and made all of their jeans smaller. I hate the Shrink Fairy.

    Several, although I haven't touched most for many years, so I guess it's only really accurate to say piano and organ. The person below me never completes their to-do list.
  9. No. He will not retire. He can't retire and save the team money. He is over 35. His cap hit and salary are carved in stone. He's here for the nights where we have someone who can't go at the last minute. The rest of the time he sits in the press box. He's not going to retire. We're not going to find a trade for him. We can't buy him out until the end of the season, and that would be pointless since his contract expires then anyway. The kids are getting plenty of chances to play with all of the injuries. The only one that he's hurting is Tootoo, who would be up full-time if we could afford him. Once the roster limit is lifted, we will never see him again. Until then, he's like those extra jeans you keep in a drawer just in case you need to paint or something and you don't want to ruin your real clothes. Yes, they take up space, but they aren't really hurting anything.

    I have never owned one and never will. Would have been cool when I was younger, though. The person below me has crayons in a drawer somewhere.

    Datsyuk - Team Russia captain for Sochi

    Well-deserved. An intelligent, talented gentleman. Congrats, Pasha.

    1/12 GDT: Red Wings 0 @ Ducks 1

    This is my hamster, Jordin. He says he could eat the ducks for breakfast. Go Wings! Plus it's Kronner's birthday, so he gets a hat trick or something.

    nope. I've been sick. No drinkie for me. The person below me sometimes forgets to water their plants.

    1/11 GDT: Red Wings 3 @ Kings 1

    Condolences to the Tatar family. How sad to lose a father so young. Wings will win. I don't know how, but they'll do it.

    I hope not. That only happens when the current one dies. The person below me has tried a work-from-home online gig that has actually worked and wasn't a scam.

    24/7 Episode 4 Discussion

    Sharp's spear was accidental. He called Lids later to apologize. Nick was a gentleman and told him not to worry about it. Things happen.

    Not unless it's bad for me and I'm looking for an excuse to buy more. The person below me was raised saying, "I have a temperature" rather than "I have a fever" and didn't realize how dumb it sounded until it was ingrained.

    24/7 Episode 4 Discussion

    Oh, yeah, I felt bad for Liles too. That just had to suck. I suppose that getting traded the day before and not getting to be there would be worse, but really, they knew that there was a big game. Couldn't they have had a gentlemen's agreement about the trade until after the game?

    Weird things you see at hockey games

    This. I have no desire to see women in bikinis, but eventually they'll get cold and put something on. The drunken idiot can't be ignored and gets worse as the game goes on. That said, wearing bikinis to a hockey game is really stupid unless you're having a hot flash.

    24/7 Episode 4 Discussion

    Somebody said something funny in that last episode. Unfortunately, by the time the thing ended, my brain had atrophied and I forgot what it was. Final assessment: Wings fans are gonna think, "Too much Leaf stuff!" Leaf fans are gonna think, "Too much Wing stuff!" Dan Cleary going back out after losing ten teeth confirms that hockey players are truly badass people. I don't care what they do, dull or not, looking at Wings is fun and makes me happy.
  21. If you have chronic pain, use a cane, and have been this way despite two surgeries, and someone asks you, "Have you seen a doctor?" you should be allowed a smartass answer, no matter who it is that is asking. I just need to think of one... How does, "Seen a doctor? <looks around> Honey, I've got back problems, not hallucinations!" sound?

    The person below me game...

    As if millions of voices suddenly cried out, "Doesn't this ***** know how to play the game?" and were suddenly placated by your post. <feels shame> The person below me has found inner peace (or an inner piece if they happen to be a surgeon).

    Makes sense to me. No one in their right mind would have been outside wearing that.

    Weird things you see at hockey games

    Why were they escorted from the game? They could have been sent to the concourse to buy clothing. Pretty sure the Wild management gave them option. I'll be going to the Wild/Wings game in March. Hopefully there's not a dress code that I don't know about... No, I'm not wearing a swim suit. I'm wearing a Kronwall jersey.

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    My ex-bf (loyal Vikes fan) likes to pull my leg. He just sent me a text that the Lions had hired Matt Millen as the new head coach. It was a joke, of course, but given that this is the Lions we're talking about, I did check the website to be sure.
