Around SBN: Sob City: Clippers Swept By Spurs

Hi!

Hello. I'm new here, but I'm Kristin. Big fan of the Colorado Avalanche; only have been following them for a couple months. Had an ex-boyfriend that was a fan since they were the Nordiques. Still waiting to get a nice sweater showing off the love for Mr. McLeod. Big soccer fan as well from my time living in Europe, so you might see some footie related posts as well. Nice to meet all of you.

As a protip, you should really consider using a different email as the one you show in your main profile. Like, strongly consider it.

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Welcome

A few things to remember/check out:
Make sure you check out the “Glossary” and “player nickname” links on the front page. Others wise you might be lost around here.
As TheRed posted Sarcasm is the main course around here. It’s even more popular than “mini golf” around here, if that’s possible.

She’s due April 12th….so they want to schedule the C-section April 5th, 6th or 7th.

The 5th was her grandfather’s birthday, the 7th is hers….so we’re trying to decide which she wants. Might be easier to just go in between and pick the 6th.

Mini-golf

is our little reference for human reproduction/recreation.

Seems horbayj ducked out of a game day thread a few months back with the excuse that he had to go play mini-golf with the girlfriend. While he asserts that there was in fact a putter, a windmill and a little blue ball (or two) involved, it would seem that other activities occurred at the 19th hole. Given our frequently sophmoric demeanor around here, it stuck.

I see it the other way. He insists there was a 19th hole but I assert there was nothing more than putters, windmills and blue balls involved.

I freaked Highlander out once. In Edmonton I screamed his name and he seemed shocked that I recognized him.

You know, I was thinking and if Guite was still on the Avs, I’d be a Guite girl. I really miss seeing him on the ice. He seemed like such a great guy and teammate.

Well, they do have the entire sharks first line, plus such notable douches as Heatley, Iginla, Pronger, Neidermayer, and Broduer. So I’d say choking is certainly a possibility.
