(More) Good, Bad and the Ugly....

Good....


----- Seger Fans, Arise!!

Four run throughs and I can TELL that this is damn good Bob. Have no idea how many he'll sell, and don't care. But this is Supernaturalesque.

Ten bucks? Can you spare ten bucks?


----- Um....deficit up: good (?). Stock market up: good (!).


------ Wild turkeys is smart. Then why don't we eat venison on Thanksgiving?

Driving through Raymond just now saw a wild turkey in the middle of the road. The bugger calmly stared me down, thought for a split second, then turned and scampered back out of harms way. Let's see a deer do that! Or a squirrel, though I don't brake for squirrels ("we have a deal"...says George Costanza).

==============================

Bad....


----- This may shock and suprise those of you who think Cruise ISN'T gay and believe in the tooth fairy.... the truth kinda sucks sometimes. No direct evidence, but come on. It's not the worst thing in the world. Did they have to build him up to be some type of Superman when the sport is the dirtiest on the planet? Just sad as well as bad.


----- Allright...who's holding out? Who the fuck has Will Ferrell's email address?

==============================


Ugly....


----- Garth Snow vows to return to a backup goaltending job...somewhere...as fast as humanly possible. If this isn't the stupidest (gut reaction at first glance, though at times long term contracts can become bargains) decision by a GM since Dick Vitale traded ML Carr and the picks that, through some machinations, became Two of the Big Three (Chief and McHale) for Bob McAdoo, then I'll (contemplate) eating my socks.

Ok, ONE of the stupidest. I mean, that's covering some ground. But..wow.

This deal is why I love the phrase "batshit insane", popularized by Jon Stewart. 15 year deal for a goaltender who may get Steve Sax/Blass Disease any day now. There are no sure bets in goal. Unless you were to clone Dryden and Roy, then feed the offspring tons of steroids. No way a 15 (15!...DiPietro will be 40!) year contract makes sense in the supposedly "new" NHL. Or I'M the one that's crazy, not Mr. Wang....(ha).

The NHL is thinking of disbanding the Isles...or something like that...as of this writing.


------ Oh really?. Another big "Thanks, bunches!!!" to the US Veterans. Thanks, guys...from your government.
