The Philadelphia Flyers suck at hockey!!! Even the Hurricanes are better then those dimwits. Anyone is. They should be in a womens league. Players that suck: Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, James Van Reimsdyk, Danny Briere, Scott Hartnell, JAROMIR JAGR, MAXIME TALBOT, Wayne Simmonds, Matt Read, Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn, Jody Shelley, Ilya Bryzgalov, Sergei Bobrovsky, Christopher Pronger, Matt Carle, Kimmo Timonen, Brayden Cobourn, Andeij Meszaros, Andreas Lilja. Any Columbus Blue Jackets player is better than any of the above Flyers.

triple true
Simon Gagne AND Mike Richards may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home but, at the end of the day, they will both always be Philadelphia Flyers.
One day Sean Couturier will win the Conn Smythe. You heard it here first.

But is it technically true? Because that’s the best kind of true.

For serious.
I particularly liked this part:
Any Columbus Blue Jackets player is better than any of the above Flyers.
It’s like an unintentional (I’m guessing) troll about Carter. Hilarious.
The definition of being a Caps fan is watching the same team over and over and expecting different results.
I love how Jaromir Jagr and Max Talbot are capitalized. Gee, I wonder what team he roots for.

I studied French for over seven years.

If break the word apart by syllable, it “breaks” numerous French rules.

Awesome timing, Stars prospect.

Well, you read the thread, and his last comment here was 20 minutes ago. And he is using gibberish words to insult people. The fun is not over yet!

I’m actually not sure if he had singled you out or Chem. Him calling you a diputz was in response to you remarking at how he was laughing at his own joke when he called Chem a “grandir fortsintop.”
This is confusing.

good question, dunno
Random photo but yeah, there’s something alluring about her even though you can’t see her face.
Nice hips. It all comes back to the obviously feminine hourglass shape. Any man can look at that and say, “Hmmm … that’s interesting.” (Except, evidently, Van.)

I don’t get it. Spelling is both a butter-face AND assless. Oh, and the tits are FAKE. If that’s your ideal woman, I do understand why you don’t find the photographer above attractive … but I also wonder if you’d not be happier with a teenage boy, because the body is the same. Look at the bathing suit photos in the link.

....
I think someone is a bit sensitive. Over-react much?
I just find it odd to call a woman cute when you can’t see any of her face. And if you liken this body to a teen-age boy, you may need to get out from behind that desk a bit….
I think she’s gross, but that’s a nice swimsuit body there.
I'm kind of a dick.
Look again at some of her other pics – that pose you show is creating curves where there aren’t any. There’s no shape or definition to her legs or arms at all. And blow-up tits don’t appeal. So I still don’t see anything attractive in Ms. Spelling; she’s basically trying to look like a Barbie Doll. And I still say the photographer is much more attractive EVEN in the light of not seeing her face (frankly, it couldn’t be worse than Tori). I’d rather see the photographer in that suit.
But hey – to each their own. Evidently I am a Christina Hendricks kind of guy … and you’re not.

It’s not exactly doom metal, but have you ever tried Epica? Holy mezzo-sopranos, Batman, there’s a singer in that metal band!
Bob.
Some other female metal singers
Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil . Italian band, therefore she has fabulous footwear. Really, she does. Gothic metal which is an off shoot of Doom. But real Goth is different then what’s passing for Goth these days which tends to be heavy on the cheap drama and co-opted by alt. metal like Evanescence (shudders). Christian Death is, IMO, the seminal Goth band and Deathwish is prolly best Goth song ever written. Joy Division is often considered Goth but it’s a bit of a misnomer. Goth was a very well defined scene with a signature look and sound which 1] Joy Division only fit in so far as their some of their songs dealt with similar themes and took on the same tone and 2] is why we laughed at Marylin Manson. JD crossed every genre of underground music that’s how good they were. You could go to a Napalm Death show and see a JD shirt. And I wasn’t a Goth but the Hardcore scene – well most of the girls were Goths so…
Otep Shamaya from Otep. I guess people would throw them in the Nu Metal bin. I think there’s more going on there at least in the early work. The later work not so much. A little heavy on the schtick for my taste. Kinda unfortunate but still decent.
Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy. Swedish melodic death metal. Gossow is one of the two female lead singers who, off the top of my head, garner the most respect from the hardcore snobs of the metal genre like me. Her growl will rip your dick off…all valkyrie-like.
Karyn Crisis from Crisis. Crisis is the other female lead next to Gossow who gets mad props from metalheads. She owns the space, all 5’3’’ of her. Crisis (band) is coming to the Troc., Jan 8.
Kittie. All female metal band. Morgan Lander: vocals, guitar. Mercedes Lander: drums. Talena Atfield: bass. Need I say more just how awesome that is. I’d be remiss to not cite L7, although I’d throw them in the sludgey stoner-rock bin more so than the metal bin.
Dominique Lenore Persi from Stolen Babies. Dark cabaret metal or if the Residents played metal and had a hot lead singer who plays – you guessed it – an accordion which is definitely different and frankly, turns me on despite the fact that the accordion is why I can’t seem to stop associating her with Judy Tenuta.
Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. Not necessarily ‘metal’ but one hot hardass babe.

One last thought … I’m busily watching the VH1 Metal Evolution series, and frankly I do wonder just how many sub-genres are justified? I mean, “Swedish melodic death metal”? As opposed to what, SWISS melodic death metal??? And really – is death metal even a genre to start with, and one that needs clarification between ‘melodic’ and ‘not’?
Of course, some of my problem likely stems from my musical interests pretty much ending with the most recent episode of Metal Evolution “Thrash”, since when everyone sold out in the mid-90s I kinda gave up on any new music at all (I despised grunge, and still change the radio when Nirvana comes on). There are a small handful I have heard that appeal – and maybe your descriptor of ‘melodic’ is what I should be searching for – but predominantly I feel like I’m just not hearing anything new or interesting.
Oh, and that Lacuna Coil chick has been smoking hot for decades. They were on tour with White Zombie many moons ago, and she was serious drool material back then.

Doesn’t take much for you, huh? She could have eye snot, crusty shit around her nose, drool….

She may indeed. So, one might say, could YOU sir have those issues.
Although one would expect that drool would stain that white shirt.

How he capitalized Jags and Talbot. He must have hit that shift key so hard that it smashed through the back of the keyboard.
Motherfucking JAGR. Motherfucking TALBOT.
Why he is on a first name basis with some players like Matt Carle and opts for formality with others like Christopher Pronger is simply precious.
