Thrive to spite them

Well, much as I sympathize with people ready for Bill Wirtz to go away, I do think another Goodenow would be disastrous for the NHLPA.

I don't know enough about Goodenow and what led up to the Year Without Hockey, I was just a baby fan, having only started watching in January 2004. But the reaction reminded me of wank on lj where someone threatens to Leave Fandom Forever as a sympathy bid, but everyone rejoices.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I fear hockey is now that boy you kinda keep around in case you need a date at the last minute.
Ah, Nascar. My methadone for the times when the pretty open wheel cars aren't racing and I need a vroom fix.

Jesse- I don't think anyone knows how to clear printer jams, really. It is only those of us who realize that the only way randomly poke buttons and pull things apart who get stuck clearing everyone else's jams!

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

There must be someone with my name in Nova Scotia. I just got a business e-mail intended for her and I replied, "You've got the wrong e-mail address. I am not the [aurelia] you are looking for."

Thrive to spite them

I watched some open wheel racing a few weekends ago. It was in Vegas. -- Champ car racing? I didn't watch much because they went a few laps waiting to start and then there was a crash right off and I got bored waiting for more racing.

Although it's much prettier in High Def than normal. And the street course racing looked more interesting than just going in an oval.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Did not get to go to lunch and pick up present. There were 20 other things that needed my attention (Dudes! Your URGENT! is not always my URGENT!). Now there's a tornado warning, so I doubt I'll leave.

Looks like it's popcorn and creative giving tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Exactly! I think my new person gets frustrated too easily, so I'm trying to stop helping her with things like this.

What is even happening?

Ahem. points at screen name Only Cubs fans get bragging rights over me in the playoffs pain competition.

Like back when we used to make the playoffs? The 1989/1990 season playoffs pretty much killed my ability to think about hockey without crying.

Yep, Champ Car in Vegas opened up their season. My dad was there. I? Was jealous.

That first lap crash really did slow things down for way too long. I hate when they wreck at the start. All that adrenaline with nowhere to go.

Want. High. Def.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Fortunately I became a Boston fan after we'd ceased to make it further than 4 or 5 games into the playoffs if we had a weak opponent and Ray was firing on all cylinders, so I've never had much in the way of hopes to dash. 2001 and Bruins West was a novel experience.
