Great game! Conks looking great!

Well, if the refs would stop breaking things up, we'd have a fight or 2.

Kopecky! I love it!

I'd say Homer looks like he's ok. Go Mule'N'Homer!

Cheli 45 years in the league

Dang, whatever else you may say about Drapes, he still has speed.

Woah, he snuck that one in! Go Mule!

Just saw the replay- ouchtime on that ankle.

What? Goaltender interference? Homer?

Working for the Weekend- Loverboy

Not much of a drummer. More of a singer. The person below me is going to take it easy on NYE so they are sure they won't sleep in and miss the Winter Classic.

She's Got the Rhythm and I Got the Blues- Alan Jackson

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues- Elton John

There's really no need to fight. I have a compromise. Cheli is from Chicago. If Nick is back, Cheli will be a scratch for the game. Didn't he sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame once last summer? Well, all we have to do is get him to do it again (they should let him), get him liquored up (shouldn't be too hard), and get him a set of alternate lyrics. And they go something like this: Take me out to the ball park, Bring some sticks and a puck. Lay down some ice on the infield grass (If I may digress, Gary Bettman sucks ass.) So we'll root, root, root for the Red Wings. If they don't win, it's a shame. Cuz this ain't no Cubs or Sox crap- it's a HOCKEY GAME. Yeah, that ought to do it.

The Bells of St. Mary's- Bing Crosby

Amen. I have to wonder if the kids in Russia get as much propaganda against steroids/drugs/doping as the kids in the US do. I really have no idea. I just know that the kids I know nowdays, who would have been the users had we had that sort of thing out in the sticks back in my day, are not using because they know better. This isn't to say kids aren't using, just that some of the ones I know who aren't surprise me. They have actually listened.

I don't like baseball. I don't like that song. If they sing it, I will deal with it and watch the game. This is nowhere close to "no octopus twirling" on my annoy-o-meter. I think it is a stupid idea, although I have to admit that if they got the "12 days of Christmas" guys to sing it, it could have entertainment value.

Highway to Hell- AC/DC

Malts is through June 2010; Drapes in through June 2011. Personally, I don't think Malts will re-sign. Drapes may be done by his time as well. I love them both, and I hope that when they leave, it is their decision. They deserve to go out well.

Do That To Me One More Time- Captain and Tenille

I Can't Get No Satisfaction- Rolling Stones (Only Mick is allowed a double negative in my book.)

Thank you. I'm off to the service station to check out the air hose. I need to have my brain refueled.

It just said he was ill. I'm not reading too much into it. Yet.

Take On Me- Aha
