meszaros made a nice chicken saled last night. But he didn’t have any ranch dressing, just honey mustard. 3.5/5
.
I know I know, aren’t I just the worst.

well since there wasn’t a game last night, I had to rate meszaros on something right? I just decided to grade him on his cooking.

Do we? O.o
I love the Lightning AND the Flyers... go ahead, preach me!
Dare to follow my childish, biased, petty and cheesy alter ego.
American Cheese, B!tch! ... #1 mission? Kill Holmgren.
LOL. Wasn’t pointing any fingers. Geoff has Boosh, I am a notorious Briere defender, etc.

Seeing as how you want to kill Holmgren, I’m pretty sure no one here hates you.

haha it’s not that I love meszaros, I just think it’s funny how every thng he does gets nit-pcked. It’s only a joke people!
Flyers 10-11 season slogan: "Remember Emery?"
We have nitpicked Shelley, Carcillo, Richards’s leadership, and Carter so far that I can think of off the top of my head this season. Just b/c there are four people applying a grade to Meszaros for their own records to have at the end of the year you think it’s above and beyond the other nitpicks?
I get that it’s a joke now, I just don’t know why you find it so “funny”
Is this the right room for an argument?
Oh HOOOOOOOOO
Don’t kid yourself: Boucher is the one and only.

We call them pirates out here…
Saw Seu Jorge in concert a few years ago. He did a couple of his Bowie interpretations, but kept the focus on his own music. Very spirited, energetic, and fun. I left feeling about 5 years younger.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Haha, I own the sound track, mostly for the Bowie and Seu Jorge Bowie covers…and also the Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op track.

Wow. That’s creepy. You just mentioned my favorite song from that album.

I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting Geoff once, so he did not yet have the opportunity to prove me wrong.
I proved him wrong, sorta. I did not look like he expected me to look. Does that count?
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I’ll allow it.

Thank you sir, may I have another?
Also, does that mean anyone who kinda sorta looks like the half-Italian love child of Andy Garcia and Janko Tipsarevic proves Geoff wrong? Because there are an awful lot of us out there…

I love stumbling upon this conversation.
By “stumbling upon this conversation” you mean “Brian Boucher,” right?
Because an anagram for “stumbling upon this conversation” is M ‘n S Cover’n Up This Bousation Glint." In other words, M(ike) n’ S(haun) are covering up the fact that this is really a Bousation (a conversation about Boucher) – specifically the glint (luster) of Geoff’s love for Boosh.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I am completely lost. Also, I feel like that’s not a real anagram. I just don’t feel like doing the word math to find out.

It is a real anagram, as I checked all of the letters out myself. However, “Bousation” is not a real word, and REO Speedwagon has a monopoly on all things which feature the “n-apostrophe” combination, to wit: “Keep Pushin’”, “Keep the Fire Burnin’”, “Keep On Lovin’ You”, etc.

Oh, I won’t be there on Saturday. The fiance has requested my presence for Halloween related activities…meaning we are going to go out and get drunk in costume as opposed to getting drunk and having people recognize us.
JpH will rejoice as this means no Meszaros grade from me.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Nice. Is it lame that I’m kinda bummed I don’t have a reason to dress up this year? I mean I usually don’t but I was invited to a party last year and it was a lot of fun.

I’m bummed my fiance didn’t give me enough time to plan a good costume out. I love Halloween, and I will never get sick of going out in costume to bars. I was under the impression she didn’t want to do anything originally, so I had just planned on going to the Flyers game.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Who are you going to be? Last year I was at a 90s theme party so I was Bill Lumbergh…Monica was the bee girl from the Blind Melon video. Do you guys couple costume?

Last year I convinced Jenn to just put on my hockey equipment and go as a hockey player to the bar where we were going to watch the Phillies. It was hilarious, she couldn’t move in it. I just wore my kilt to the bar and got drunk….so I guess I was a drunk Scot???
So we don’t typically do the couples thing, but depending what Jenn decides on I may try to make it a couples thing. Or I may do my Zombie face paint stuff, and where a name tag that says Rob…that’s always one of my favorite costumes in a pinch.

So you were a Scot?

Ever since I grew a beard and decided to trim my hair every so often, I am no longer to go out in my default costume, Robert Smith. I certainly wouldn’t go to a Flyers game dressed like that. Though if I did, it would be against the Rangers so I could go up to Sean Avery and sing “You want to know why I hate you? Well, I’ll try and explain…”

no, but it always helps. Who wants an ugly goalie anyway?
Flyers 10-11 season slogan: "Remember Emery?"
I’d rather have an ugly goalie. But not like just sort of ugly. I’m talking gut-wrenchingly hideously ugly. The kind of ugly that causes children to scream. Think Snooki-ugly.
The opposing team will be compelled to shoot pucks directly at him, thinking something that hideous surely must be some sort of escaped hell-beast.

I had it with all the Checkmanek hate around here. WTF is wrong with everyone. He was the best goalie we had since Hextall. Who cares what he looks like.
Oh, he was great. He was just crazy as a loon / Falloon and not at all a team player.

It’s nice when the Devils, Islanders, Penguins, and Rangers all lose in regulation on the same night. Real nice.
Lou is finally finding out what it takes to build a team without the luxury of arguably one of the best goaltenders of all time making all that average dreck look good. This dude is so overrated as a GM genius. Back to Disney Land Newark Mouseketeers.
Just Call Me "M"!
We’ll be tied in terms of points, but our winning percentage will give us THE EDGE.

Bah, was expecting the other Edge—the Werth lookalike. Guess Jayson really is on his way out. LOL.

Do you guys remember the epic MarioD argument on whether it was called winning percentage or points percentage? I think it was with Fehr and Balanced from Japers Rink. I have no doubt it was 100+ posts long.

By chance, any pictures of the Flyers at the Sixers game last night floating around?
I always like seeing Philly athletes at other Philly team sports. I remember seeing Donald Brashear marking out at a Phillies game at the Vet years ago and it was so funny.
if you see a guy at a flyers game with a #55 brendl jersey
odds are very good it’s me. this is not a joke comment
BAH
I hate when I have to purchase suites for teams I loathe. Downside of working for a nat’l company. Caps and Canes? Shoot me.
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
You get to watch hockey from a suite and how do you hate the Canes?
Flyers 10-11 season slogan: "Remember Emery?"
I don’t get to go to the games. I just have to buy them. I don’t hate the Canes, per se, but I don’t like them, either. There’s just something so unnatural about hockey in places where it just doesn’t get cold enough to play hockey. Sorry. I will, say, however, that my company has been a supporter of the team since before it won any Cup.
Now, can you understand my loathing for the Caps?
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
Caps – Because for years they were irrelavent and all they do is get 1 superstar and all of a sudden everybody in D.C. is a huge Caps fan?
But i dont get how you can get upset about buying suites for you company if you dont go. I’m assuming they use it for entertaining clients right? Or are they pumping money into those teams to get advertising? (marketing major, so I can understand everything a company does, unless its plain stupid)
Flyers 10-11 season slogan: "Remember Emery?"
I was half-joking, man. I just doing like having to process invoices and communicate with teams that I don’t like. It’s really that simple. Makes me feel dirty.
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
at the end of every phone call, say something rude under your breath.
“pleasure doing businees with you Mrs. Doubleh”
“Ok have a good one “cough cough suck off cough”"
Flyers 10-11 season slogan: "Remember Emery?"
I actually did give it to the Pens rep when I ordered that suite. I said I am 100% against buying this as a diehard Flyers fan but it’s out of my hands. He laughed. As I was hanging up, I told him, have a crappy season! Yeah, they won the Cup that year.
So, you can see I never want to buy another Pens suite again.

“BAH” backwards is “Hab.”
You’re a SECRET CANADIENS FAN!

I guess they’re Supposed To Win this year.
I didn’t want to say it during the NLCS, but the way they got all the breaks just reminded me of the Phillies 2 years ago.
It doesn’t mean we have to like it.
Tim Lincecum belongs to the same “I Don’t Look My Age” club as Danny Briere. All I kept thinking last night was, “He looks 15.”
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Some people are blessed, I guess. I won’t say that Timmah exactly maximizes his physicality, however. i.e. He ain’t cute.
He didn’t pitch all that well last night, but Lee outsucked him. 5.2 IP, 4 ER is not a good start by any stretch. They DO have shamrocks up their butts.

Sigh.
I missed everything. Talking about haloween and sexy hockey players, the two places where I shine.
But whatever….it’s okay…I guess I’l go talk to myself in the corner…

So I’m guessing everyone knows that now….? Jeeze, it took forever for people to realize I’m a girl, so that was fast. Speaking of, I’m going as “normal” this year (straight hair, eyeliner, hollister, uggs, ect. All of which I don’t do, seeing as how I have a ton of ringlet curls). I love sarcasm. Hahaha

I have a strong hate of them. And straight hair. And basically everything in my last statement. But I’m doing it to get a laugh out of it, cause its not me. Plus its just gona be intresting.
Whats your reason for Ugg-hating? (other than the fact its a dead sheep on your feet)
Let's do it again
by Cillo stache on Oct 28, 2010 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions
For me, personally (speaking as a chick), it’s because it’s the “uniform”. Girls with too tight jeans or too short shorts, Ugg boots (which are ugly as sin), some ungodly expensive top that looks like it was fished out of a rag bag.
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
Not goin that slutty, still gotta go to school tommorow hahaha. I agree completely, it’s because I hate it I’m doing it. Sorta poking fun at it.
They have no redeaming qualities other than being somewhat warm (but not waterproof so you can’t wear them outside), so why the hell do people like Uggs??

Easy to throw on, but they must stink to high hell, since girls hardly ever wear them with socks. I am allergic to wool, so they are out for me anyway.

I’m pleased to see two female Flyers fans who hate Uggs. Good taste isn’t dead yet!
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
Give it time, hintzy, give it time. …sigh.
Seriously though that made me laugh out loud. You know it’s true because I spelled it out.
