"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Crap. Playoffs. Shoot-outs are no longer in effect. Instead, we have an unlimited number of OTs.

Yes. This is what I remember. Long time ago the Stars were in the playoffs and people showed up at the bar at like noon. Game lasted long past 1 am. I think that was when a bartender got his head put through the wall.

ION: I'm informed I need to go to my cousin's wedding thing in NO in May. On the one hand, I planned on taking a day off in May for my anniversary. OTOH. I think K needs me down there, and it will be fun. We plan on having tents in the back yard and hording all the booze. Plus, Jazzfest... I need to be independantly wealthy and able to travel the world.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I love DJ and juliana so much. Hockey and FNL and booze. I should have married the both of you. Seriously. It's a damn shame there's one of us on the right coast, one on the left coast and one in the middle. It doesn't make getting together for--wait for it--hockey, FNL and booze easy. Frakkin' manifest destiny.

I am bereft though. I have no more hockey for the night. Versus is giving me the World Strongman Cup.

Somebody Anybody. Freaking score. I think the announcer even just said "oy." Ok. I'll have another drink.

Actually, a really good friend of ours is about to move to DC and begging for us to promise to visit. So it's likely we'll be up there within the next year or so.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just got to hear my favorite line ever, "You can't score a goal off of of an official." Hee!

Depends on the official, and what your goal is. ba dump bump

If I'm still watching this game three days from now, someone will come feed me, right?

Wahoo!

Heh. This is nothing. April 24, 1996 - I was a senior in college and the Washington Capitals were playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoffs. I was finishing a paper for one of my classes (due, of course, the next day). The game was on in the background. Regulation ended. The first OT ended. I abandoned all pretenses of working on the paper. The second OT ended. I woke up my roommate. It still wasn't over. The freakin' game went to SEVEN periods; hell it was 44 seconds away from going to an eighth. It was finally over at 2:30 in the morning. I was exhausted just watching the game. Yes, I still had to finish my paper, but I wouldn't have traded it for all the money in the world. It was an awesome, awesome game.

Edited for context, and assurances that I will feed DJ if the game goes that long.

Off the crossbar. The announcers are getting giddy. One of them just giggled into the commercials.

Oh, now they're making fun of us saying "Well there won't be a win for Dallas today, cause it's already tomorrow there!"
