Friday Ramblings

What do you guys and gals want to talk about today? Summer is wrapping up and school is starting in lots of citys and towns across Avs Nation. Ilya Kovalchuk still doesn't have a contract and most teams are still waiting around to see how that shakes out, it seems. Several Colorado players have found new homes like fan favorites Brett Clark, Tyler Weiman, and Rusty Salei. My new AHL club is gearing up as renovations to their new home in OKC are nearly complete. Assembling that team is still on-going as well.
Training camp is a few short weeks away and then maybe we'll have something to talk about that is not just tangentially hockey-related, but actual news. Please keep tuning in and contributing FanShots and FanPosts as we gear up for the 2010-2011 season.

Here’s an interesting story: Flash being shopped. I wouldn’t mind moving a package of Liles for Flash. Make some room for Shatty/Cohen, etc. too.
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!
We can talk about this. I still hate the Red Wings. I watched the 2009 Cup Finals last night, and with the shitty camera angles at joe Lewis, you get to see a lot of “fan behavior.” What a bunch of whiny crybabies that crowd was…not that that’s unusual or anything.
Help help! I'm being repressed!
Personally, I think that Ruffles' ridges are a marketing gimmick
They add nothing to the overall flavor or performance of the chip. True, they do stand up better to most dips, but that’s more due to the thickness of the chip than the shape.

They hold onto the salt better I think. Love them Ruffles!

How about the new Sun Chips bag, which is now been determined, is louder than a running lawnmower. Sometimes “being green” is just annoying.
And Ruffles with a good french onion dip, and a nice cold beer = happy snack time
Help help! I'm being repressed!
That thing is really loud. I wanted some the other night be was afraid of waking preschooler. And we don’t even compost!
Go Avalanche.
The OT: All that AND a bag of meat.

Paul McCartney just broke my heart...
Seriously, it’s official. My new favorite Beatle is George Harrison.

I thought he left Wings a while ago.

Yeah, but apparently he still uses that guitar whenever he plays “Yesterday”.

I’d rather hoped his wife would beat him to death with one of her wooden legs with an Avalanche logo on it.

Awesome. In my head though, it’s Yoko Ono busting into the room in a berserker frenzy. She rips the wooden leg off (w/ Avs logo) and then proceeds to beat McCartney with it.

I’m going with one of my good friends to see the Cubs tomorrow. Why? I’m a glutton for punishment I guess.
And it will at least be warmer than the only other Cubs game I went to this year when the temperature at game-time was all of 54 degrees.
Help help! I'm being repressed!
I applied for a job with the Avs yesterday! It’s not marketing, unfortunately; Group Ticket Sales (so you might get me calling you to buy tix! lol) But it’s a foot in the door. I’m also applying for their In Game Entertainment Crew this weekend. Hey, it’d be a fun PT job…and no, it’s not to be an Ice Girl, Jibs.
I just like the fights.
You should get all of the season ticket holders on here to write you a group recommendation letter. Or just have everyone refuse to re-up their season tickets unless you’re hired. Blackmail always works.

You should re-think this position. If you were an ice girl, I’m sure that your job selling group tix would be infinitely easier!

Maybe Andy can get you an In with the Avs?

Pretty sure they’re not hiring.

You’re just getting it out of your system for the season.

Ha.
I think it’s that he’s getting back into the groove of things.

I just gorged myself on bourbon chicken and now I can barely move. Just thought I’d share.
Thanks Joe...
Since we're sharing...
My dog is snoring and it’s freaking hilarious.
I just like the fights.

Continuing the share-athon, I just mowed my parents’ lawn, and they had these HUGE mushrooms back there. Pretty gross.
Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

My wife just bought a pair of slutty looking high heels. And I’m not complaining…though she has a broken toe right now and can’t wear them (leaving me to wonder why she bought them)
Help help! I'm being repressed!
because no woman passes up a cute pair of shoes, no matter if she has a broken toe or fractured foot or Forsbergitis
I just like the fights.

Ha, I could just see some women with wacked out ankles still trying to pull off the heels. Hell, half the women I see in heels can’t walk in them to begin with. Good visual this early in the morning
Help help! I'm being repressed!
I lurve heels. I wear them everyday in class. That got some looks for the first few times in my hockey class!

Which turned into looks of utter astonishment as you showed that you could actually skate in those heels!

The class was a persepectives on hockey class, not a playing hockey class. ;)
