Who is it?
Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences. You can reach my parents at their places of business. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your concern for my well-being. Have a nice day!

Doesn’t USA/TNT/TBS play that one at least once a week? Seems like it anyhow.
Jibbles is an older man so you can trust what he says.
BTW
Jibble is still back. He’s just been posting to random blogs and random threads all day as he gets back into form.

This! Props for the quote and giving me my hardiest laugh of the day!

The Five Stages of Grief
1-Denial-Blake’s a good guy and he didn’t mean to do it. Hopefully Ferris won’t be out long; after all, he did get up and skate off under his own power.
2-Anger-WTF! I’ve watched the fucking hit again and Rob turned-fucking-douche Blake totally shoved him into the boards. This deserves 2-5 games suspension. God Damn It!
3-Bargaining-Okay, so Ferris may be out for the rest of the season, but that’s only a few more games, right? He’ll be back for the playoffs. He’ll get some rest; Vancouver’s lost some major players and have locked in their spot so they won’t be going balls out tonight. SJ will be pissed about losing to us so they’ll be all over Calgary. We can secure our spot in the playoffs tonight and it will all be good.
4-Depression- shit.
5-Acceptance- (ummm, I’m not here yet so I’ve no idea what this looks like. Anybody out there have a clue?)
This is our team: underrated, filled with amazingly talented kids and veteran leaders, both young and old, who are buying into the vision of a hard working, fast moving, never-say-die game. They are the 2009-2010 Colorado Avalanche.
On your last question
No. But this little tidbit from Dater’s latest blog added to number 4 for me:
Nothing new on Mueller today. He’s at home resting. A couple people who said they saw him leave the Pepsi Center the other night did not paint a pretty picture, saying he needed help walking out.

I tend to be a little drunk when I hit stage 5. Unfortunately, but the time I sober up, I’ve regressed a stage or three.

Acceptance
See above.
My form of it is humour. Though that sometimes flows into category 4 as well.

You know what makes that movie awesome? Watch it assuming that Ferris and Sloan are all in Cameron’s head.
head assplode.
The Avalanche, clearly, are down with No PP.
Spoiler Alert Re: Fight Club, don't read if you haven't seen it
Inneresting. Especially the pool scene.
Re: subject of this post, am I the only one who thinks that the girl in Fight Club is also in his head (in addition to Brad Pitt)? To me there was a pretty obvious clue that she was but most people don’t agree with me.

I thought that last time I saw it. Can’t remember anything specific though.

Most obvious was her inclusion in the testicular cancer support group. But the one that gets lost is when he didn’t get his luggage. Because something was found “vibrating” in it. He supposedly had no idea how or why that was in there … but it was probably hers/his?

I will probably get some blank stares out of this, but when I’m watching Dora with my kids, I watch it thinking that Boots is her imaginary friend. It works especially well in episodes when she talks with her family, as they don’t interact with him directly

Except for the one we saw yesterday, the Boots’ birthday episode. Dora’s mom picks him up and sings to him.
Otherwise it’s a really cool idea! Glad I’m not the only one subjected to that. I do my best to change the channel as soon as it’s coming on, but sometimes I miss.
My daughter
Has migrated from Dora and other Nick Jr. shows to the Disney Channel already. Or as I like to call it, “The Laugh Track Channel.” Their overuse of the laugh track is the most annoying thing I’ve ever seen on TV not on Fox News.

we’ve mostly moved to either Phineas and Ferb or Jackie Chan. both are tolerable (and the 2nd has a Vanilla Ice character that’s downright amusing)

Phineas & Ferb are win.
We’ve been able to insert many DVDs into the rotation (helps a lot in avoiding the commercials and the resulting “Oooh, I gotta have”), including Looney Tunes, Popeye, Felix the Cat, Woody Woodpecker, Rocky & Bullwinkle, et al. Papa doesn’t mind sitting down to watch when those are on.

my 9 year old loves Phineas & Ferb (the sister’s voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me), Suite Life on Deck, iCarly (he has a crush on the brunette), and NHL on the Fly.

Grape Juice Girl
When my son was 5 he had the most obvious crush on the ctie Welch’s grape juice girl.
No matter what was going on, he would stop talking and stare, open-mouthed and unaware that my wife, daughter and I were all silently chuckling at him.
To this day, he will only think a girl is cute if she is a brunette and has blue eyes.
Yeah, makes it awesome
There’s quite a few out there.

Yeah, but you know what makes that movie suck?
Cameron is a Red Wings fan.

Maybe he just lost a bet.
Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

though the fact that he is a hockey fan rather than a football or baseball fan does help a little

Not really. The fact that it is Howe helps somewhat, but not nearly enough.

It helps me, I’d rather someone be a Wings fan and acknowledge it, unless you’re a stupid “gangsta” who can’t even spell red wings, than wear a football/basketball;/baseball/john deere shirt. And why the hell is John Deere so damn popular, even in AQustralia. It’s fucking tractors people!

Not that it has anything to do with what you are talking about. But I found it pretty entertaining.
Oh yeah? Well you're under fuck off for grand fuckin' offin'!

He’s not a RW fan, hes a Gordie Howe fan. That I can at least understand, if not condone.
Thanks Joe...

though a Whalers sweater would have been much more gooderer.
