T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 According to Bill Roose, Abby, Andy, and Smith are heading to Mexico for some sunny and warm R & R during the break. Anyone know where? Just curious. We go every year, to a variety of places. Be interesting to know if they're doing an all inclusive resort or a nice high end vacation home somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Good for them, take some time off, get a tan, and don't drink the water. As far as where they are or where they might be staying, I have no idea and i'm not entirely sure if that's something they would disclose. I've never been there myself. This reminded me of a old photoshop I made a while back, dug it up for the occasion. Not any of the guys above but still reasonably humorous. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings to Mexico: The tequila has a worm in it, so who cares if you can't drink the water? 3 sibiriak, amberlynn25 and T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,492 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 You think every time Smith tries to hand Abdelkader a beer he turns it over to Andersson instead? Haha, I can't stop thinking about Red Wings beer drinking metaphors now. I bet Abdelkader works SUPER hard to get his beer open and then shoots it wide of his mouth when he finally tries to take a drink. 1 martinezsvsu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Kind of off topic, but it reminds me of a Michigander friend of mine, who is Hispanic and has family still in Mexico. His much younger brother played hockey and LOVED the Red Wings. My friend follows hockey but didn't play. My friend would tell his brother that he liked the Wings because the Wings have a Mexican player. The conversation would go something like this: Friend: I like the Wings because they have a Mexican guy. Brother: They don't have Mexicans. Friend: Oh, yeah? What about Pablo Datsyuk? Brother: It's PAVEL Datsyuk. Friend: Pavel? There aren't any Mexicans named Pavel. Brother: He's Russian. Friend: No way. There aren't any Russians in Mexico. Brother: He's not from Mexico. Friend: All Mexicans are from Mexico. Brother: He's not Mexican. Friend: Sure his is. Why else would he be named Pablo? This would go on and on until the brother gave up. The brother is grown up now. Game over. 4 Nev, Cloune, jimmyemeryhunter and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) You completely missed the point, obviously. No, I don't expect anyone to be outraged. I was merely pointing out how silly it is for people to freak out about players going to Russia, because of the possible threat of violence, and not saying a word about players going to Mexico, when Mexico is WAYYY more violent than Russia is. Obviously you didn't read the thread about the players not going to Russia because of "potential violence". Edited February 18, 2014 by sleepwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 The Zetas or the Caballeros Templarios ( Knights Templar) go to kidnap Abby then find out he's from Detroit. They don't know wether to worship him for being from the birth place of the Chevy, or run from him in fear. Meanwhile, Smith is drunk of his @$$ and wonders where all his new friends are going so soon, but won't take their big sombrero off his head and give it back to El Jeffe.
