Mine or Nap's? I'm assuming mine because of your sig but am holding out hope.

[FL4WL3SS]

The thread has reached a new low with that reference.

Actually it's lowest point is when you decided to post in it. It's never recovered.

Yours.

Actually its lowest point was probably page 1, well before I got involved.

Pat Burns -- dead or Canadian?

Ahahahaha

[Titoschew]

Good news is, we're not far off from a real, legit game thread.

[The Napkin]

Remote Control was the apex of MTV.

Mmmm. Kari Wührer

Yours.

Ah, good. I was gonna have to throw down with you if you were dissing remote control.

[Salem's Lot]

Anybody going to tomorrow's practice?

[The Four Peters]

I was thinking about it, but likely won't put forth the required effort when morning comes.

[Titoschew]

If this was twittered I would have just opened a new thread with no commentary.

"Here we go again," the three-time NHL coach of the year told TSN. "They're trying to kill me before I'm dead. I come to Quebec to spend some time with my family and they say I'm dead. I'm not dead, far [expletive] from it. They've had me dead since June. Tell them I'm alive. Set them straight."

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Pat Burns is fucking legend.

[The Four Peters]

This week has been brutal. It can't end soon enough.

[cshea]

Yep. I pretty much just mentally checked out of work for the week though.

I'm playing some golf at some course in NH called Souhegan Woods or something tomorrow. Anyone play there before?

*crickets*

Mondays suck even more after abortion football games.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Fuck that team. Hockey only for me.

[AMcGhie]

So are there going to be gamethreads for preseason? We just going to do them here since its still technically the offseason?

[The Four Peters]

I'd say start a new gamethread as an all-encompassing preseason thread. This one is close its death.

In the Garden, hockey has it seasons. First comes offseason and preseason, but then we have regular season and the playoffs. And then we get offseason and preseason again.
Offseason and preseason.
Yes.
Then regular season and the playoffs.
Yes.
I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of hockey, but we're upset by the seasons of our team.
Yes! There will be growth in the regular season!
Hmm!
Hmm!
Hm. Well, Mr. Chiarelli, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time.

[Haunted]

This has been (and continues to be, since I have the day off) a crazy weekend.

[kenneycb]

Nothing like having to go into work at 1:30 on Monday. Thank you Hartford office for your long commute.

[The Napkin]

Lowell lost the Devils? When did that happen? That's a bummer, it was a nice easy trip there to see the Pruins. Bah. Bah I say.

[Haunted]

Recording session tonight. Hopefully I get my stuff done...

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

I've had Substitute by The Who stuck in my head all day, much of spent heartily resisting the urge to air drum.

[Terras]

The vending machine at work refuses to take my quarter. I grow frustrated.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Did you try threatening it with death? My computer wouldn't start up this evening, but it ramped right up when I threatened to feed its motherboard to the kraken.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Also, stuff in your vending machines costs a quarter? Is your office situated in 1972?

[AMcGhie]

I had a work-subsidized vending machine at my last job. Cans of soda were 25 cents. By making them not free, people didn't empty the machine out each night.

[Haunted]

Yup, done. Three of the hardest songs I've ever played, and now my right hand is too tired to beat off.

[Terras]

Costs 75 cents, and it refused to take the quarter because it was from 1967. I think the machine was made in Detroit or Minnesota.

[PedroSpecialK]

I wonder how many pubes that quarter's touched.

[NickEsasky]

I wonder how many pubes that quarter's touched.

Do you usually shove quarters down your pants?

[PedroSpecialK]

It's the only way I can get them to bounce correctly.

[kenneycb]

I tried Googling "Turd Ferguson" at work today. The results were blocked. I chuckled.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

A lie. PSK is secretly a vending machine from 1972. He needs quarters, a thousand allowances worth of quarters, to live.

[AMcGhie]

No Slugs or Tokens!

Now, let us all ingest sandwiches from his compartment.

[timlinin8th]

Good thing you got two hands.

In other news, I was on 495 S going to start my work day, and half my jobs canceled so I decided just to say fuck it and take a me day. So here I sit. Its nice.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

I don't see "ability to post movie/TV images on the internet" in the list of expectations. I don't think you've got much of a chance, Smails.

[Spaulding Smails]

You are probably right. This may eliminate me as well: "dancing ability strongly preferred".

[Salem's Lot]

I say we just all throw in an extra $20 or so to rent the suit for the next RMPS golf event.

[NickEsasky]

With all the shitty injury karma plaguing Boston teams lately we may have to start sacrificing virgins or something to appease the gods. Up first, TFP.

I don't think they'd appreciate cigar burns in it.
