...And now for something completely different

I shall try to write a bit about Gopher Hockey. First, I want to clarify that this blog is not to be taken too seriously when it comes to recruiting knowledge, other teams talent and such. I do this solely to vent and be able to wear my "Goldy Goggles" and have fun.

So far most comments have been fun as well as fair. With the exception of someone, who shall remain nameless, that questioned my heterosexual status!

I have taken a few jabs at the supposed Western College Hockey blog. Just a pissed of Maize and Blue fan. I have also taken a few shots at that expert from the range. After listening to his whining while making the call of a hockey game in Duluth I lost all respect for him. I really like reading Goon's "flickertail's" blog and that certain "someone" from tUMD's blog.

After a very pitiful end to the season last year I pretty much stayed away from the usual sites about college hockey to asses my true feelings toward this sport in general! That being said I WILL NOT make any predictions about the players or season because I just do not have the knowledge to make a guess.

Me and "LB" are going to the Hall of Fame game Friday. I hope to instill a little passion about hockey and "teamwork" in my son. He really enjoys hockey (skating) and want to make sure that HE WANTS to do it and that I'm not the frustrated hockey parent pushing him. Truth be told, quitting Junior hockey because of a shoulder injury was the second most devastating thing in my life. If you know me, you can guess the first.

Looking at the schedule, how is it possible not to play SUZIE 4 times? WTF is wrong with the league? I know that both arenas sell out EVERY game but not to have each team visit each other is akin to moving the Pack out of the NFC "Norris" division. I just don't get it. Dump the DU and CC games. Fucking junior colleges!

I am now going to USCHO to rekindle the love on that POS board. Then over to CHN to read the CSTV dunce's comments. Goon's blog will be next then GPL! And to all of you from other team sites...... I fart in your general direction!!!!!!NEET!

Population Control!

In a sad but fitting story from the wonderful East Side. A young Hmong girl has died from picking and eating the "Eastern American Destroying Angel" mushroom which is HIGHLY toxic! Having lived next to a Hmong family for the last ten years this does not surprise me. There eating habits and general hygiene is terrible. I watched as they killed, plucked and ate "squab". Not just any "squab" but pigeon on the Ron Popeil rotisserie grille. I stared at a goat head from my kitchen window for 5 days. I also watched as he layed out 15 carp in the sun for 8 hours and then came back cleaned them and watched in amazement as 30 of them descended on his house and consumed ALL of it after just boiling. Do these people not have taste buds????????

My thought, this was just another way that God is culling the heard!!!!!!

"Hey look a patch of mushrooms Pia!"

Bass Ackwards?

The saga of the house continues... After a unsuccessful period of time trying to sell my house I finally broke down and refinished the hardwood floors in my house this past week.

Man did I go about this ALL WRONG.
When selling your house get it in shape BEFORE it goes on the market. I was a little naive about how long it was going to take. Last year they were bidding on houses like mine, now I can't get an offer! Sure, I have had TONS of showings but not a single offer. We lost the house we had the purchase agreement on. Basically we let the offer expire and 5 days later it sold for 276K. It was listed for 274K and they dropped it 5K so I could drop mine 5K to move it. They were willing to extend the agreement but I was beginning to feel bad about them not able to consider other offers. So the house that I really, really wanted is now gone. After a short period of being down about moving I have started looking at houses again. There are a TON where we want to move but nothing has jumped out at me yet.

If you are thinking of moving...wait a bit longer and you will get a house that is priced right. Maybe this is a good thing for us. Maybe we can get MORE house for less money then we were initially prepared to spend. I just don't want to move in the winter!

What the FUCK is wrong with this state?

Is it me, or is this state full of really FUCKED up people? Two of the most recent "tales" include a group of three boys who decided to dig up the recently buried body of a 20 year old woman who was killed in a motorcycle accident. Their intent was to have sex with the body because she was good looking. LOOK at these backroad hillbilly dorks!!!!! Is it something in the water or in the air or cheese??

The latest report is about a gang rape of an 11 year old girl. ELEVEN YEARS OLD! By an estimated 20 people including a 40 year old man. On top of that, a 16 year old girl watched and told them what sex acts to do to her!! I'm sure this is common news in THAT STATE but I continue to be amazed by the total depraved filth that state produces.

Having had the displeasure of driving around rural Northern Wisconsin while my brother looked for lake property you would be amazed at how out of touch these people are. My brother stopped at what I call a squaters trailer. It was a run down double wide with a "Linnie" sign in the window. Now mind you we were in the middle of NOWHERE by the Minong Flowage. I asked' "what is this?" he replied "a bar" OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was waiting for that chain saw toting, butchers bib wearing mofo to come after us.

Let play fill in the blanks:
When you say Wisconsin,______________________________!

I'll be back with some actual hockey talk soon. OBTW Me and LB ("lil bastard" aka my son) are going to our first hockey game Oct. 6th. Should be a hoot!!!!!
