The Swamp

And, as if to emphasize the point... Sharks win!

Sitting in a plane, 30,000 feet up, dtw-sfo. On my third Woodforde Reserve. Fantasizing about the gorgeous flight attendant (she's black, Howard, fwiw).

Going to listen to the Sharks/Canucks game while I read.

Now we know why the Blackhawks win so much.

I'd rather be drinking with my wife and/or friends, but drinking free bourbon while swamping at the Detroit airport Delta Sky Club ain't bad.

Really bummed that Swamp favorite, Fear the Kitten is out!

I was watching NHL Network, seeing Vancouver coach Alain Vignault whining that the reason the Sharks were dominating the face offs was because they were cheating. I loved Joe Thornton's amused response that "Ryan Kesler and the Sedins are the best face off cheaters in the league." Irony th...

It's Metallica night at AT&T Park tonight. Here, the Giants PR guys dressed up Barry Zito for a promo pic:

Local kid made good. Did you know his nickname is "Bubbles"? Wanna guess why?

He farts in the bathtub?

Well, good. He didn't get me any points in the pool Wednesday!

Funny how in many years it seems like about 40 horses are in the Derby, and then, five weeks later, you have 4 horses in the Belmont.

Montreal puts 50 shots on goal, only score 2, give up a 3rd period lead, and lose 4-2.

Man accused of shoplifting from Finders Keepers says store name misleading

...there is still no word on whether criminal charges will be filed. Nor is there word on whether Barker intends to change the name of her store to Not for Free.

Lars Eller just got taken off the ice on a stretcher. Sure am glad I drafted him.

Hey, can I pull a Kranepool and cut him, now?

If it makes you feel better Rush, I got it and got quite a good chuckle out of it.

Fwiw, I did too.

sancarlos

did one of you Pittsburgh guys make the avatar bet with Z-man? If he wins, I could just see a photoshop of a puck going between Fleury's legs on Rass's new avatar.

Or the Gorton's fishstick man on Salma!

GC made reference to the Chris Broussard comments. Kind of "man bites dog" that all these tough NBA guys from the hood are either supportive or at least silent on the subject, while a guy from the liberal media speaks up in opposition to Collins.

Great start to the playoffs with three close games. I'm working in the eastern time zone this week, and as a west coast guy, I really hate being out here for watching sports. I'd love to watch the Sharks game tonight, but it doesn't start until 10:30 pm edt and I have an early start (and big day) to...

Woman allegedly poisoned two bottles of orange juice and placed them in a Starbucks refrigerated display case. Charged with attempted murder

I had the single Teeth of the Hydra on a Metal Blade compilation cassette with a bunch of other great early metal tracks. Had it for a long long time but after it finally gave out I could never replace it, on any format. Finally came across that Best of Omen mp3 on Amazon around 2003, I think, and ...

I'll be in a bit later today. I sent a note to Spinner, too.

sancarlos

Had a bottle of this last night. Nice, malty, a bit sweet. Made by Anchor Brewing of SF.

Big plans for Cinco de Mayo?

I could attend the Sharks/Canucks game on cinco de mayo, as the the tickets are available to me in our season ticket group. But, not if I want to avoid sleeping on the couch. As, that is my wife's birthday.

Is Tebow being selfish and un-Christlike by not wanting to switch positions? Just wondering out loud... I wonder if teams would be more likely to pick him up if he said he would play any position they wanted. At this stage, he's not a kid anymore. He'll be 26 before next season starts. One doesn't ...

Its presumed in womens hoops. Exact opposite for the men. Good for him though. Guys aren't exactly beating his door down at his age but it might cost him some money. Its a lot easier with a full wallet after 10 yrs of NBA paychecks but still. Will at least start the discussion so the college kid mi...

First round, I'll go with Blackhawks, Red Wings, Sharks, Kings.
Blackhawks over Kings in final.

Brian, I know you hate the travel, but I think the Wings got a favorable draw in the Ducks. Sure better than a Chicago draw, travel aside.

Maybe they'll get Tampa in the first round next year.

sancarlos

I was all set to post that the Red Wings just can't make the playoffs without Lidstrom!

Hey, it's almost Kentucky Derby time. We need Bensell back here, now!

When I was about 11, my mother was in one of those crappy record clubs, and she let me make the selection one month.

Cool stuff. For this past Christmas, my sister-in-law gave me the Celebration Day cd/dvd of the reunion concert that was recorded in 2006 - Page, Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham (son of John) playing old Zeppelin songs. And as far as favorite Zep albums, one I love that doesn't get much respect genera...

The kid's name is Rhys Phelps. He is a defenseman at Selects Academy in Connecticut.

And, I revived Naked Jake from the olden days, when this Swamp got going. Probably change him out soon enough...

sancarlos

I remember when Brooshkin bitched about us in the comments of an MJD blog post, and MJD defended the Swamp nicely.

This is off the subject, but it works as well here as any other place. So, as you may know, I grew up in semi-rural western Colorado - not exactly hockey country. One of my best friends growing up now lives in suburban Denver, and has a son who is now 15 years old. The kid is a serious hockey player...

George Jones was the man. I particularly enjoy his old rockabilly stuff, like White Lightning and Revenooer Man.

I told my daughter that if she had been born a boy, we were going to name her Barkevious.
