That's odd, they just sang the Canadian anthem and God Bless America rather than the American National Anthem.
"God Bless America" has become the surrogate red state anthem.

Outdoor Hockey Classic
Is this an annual event? I think of professional hockey as exclusively outdoors, but my knowledge of hockey pretty much amounts to: ice, fights, penalty box, goalie, puck, Bobby Orr.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't God bless America enough already? Aren't we His favorites and stuff?

Yeah but the Star Spangled Banner isn't particularly godly at all. It was mostly after 9/11 and some country guy had a hit version of "God Bless America" and it sort of swept the heartland as this dawning feeling of "Yeah, let's sing the America song with God right in the title."

God forbid we should sing a song that's a little difficult and actually says something.

Thrive to spite them
Professional hockey is exclusively indoors, otherwise no hockey in Florida.
The outdoor classic is an occasional thing.
I think it's finally stopped snowing there, or at least not as hard. They said before the game it was sleeting. Those goalies look so cold.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I actually heard the Cheers theme music here in the ER. I am being mocked. But at least it's a nice doctor on duty.
Happy birthday, Susan. No need to start a diet on your birthday.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm a ball of rage today, and I think it has something to do with my dad playing InAGaddaDaVida full blast upstairs. Or that it's cold like a meat locker in here.
I never thought I'd say this, but I sort of miss the abundance of attractive people SoCal offers the eyes. And? And? I now understand why dating was so much easier here.
Seriously. People look tired and like their skin is filled with frozen silly putty.
Winter kills.

I'm so sorry you're starting the year in the ER, ita. I hope 2008 is the year you get relief.
