Wow. Big day. For the first time in three years, a savant actually used the word “brah” in the comment section.
It threw us all for a loop, but I think we’ll recover.
When? Now.
Just in time for the Live Blog Bitches. BJ’s for all, courtesy of Rick Nash.

I work for a pretty neat small company of 11 people that is more like family. It’s truly a great place to be, well for me and it’s very good to my family for a decade now & I’m only 34.
I can’t imagine the BS and personal $hit at work honestly.

this has all the makings off the wings have to scramble their asses off the last 10 minutes to tie the game.

Somehow I never got especially interested in computer games. Although the potential for interaction does sound more interesting than just playing against a computer, I must admit.
I’ve got quite enough hobbies already, though, especially since I started painting again for the first time in years.

I’m hoping Conk can put the pressure on Oz to get it right and KEEP it there.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/06/09 at 08:53 PM ET
Hopefully this is one of those “goaltending duels” and not the Wings just being completely terrible at scoring.

See, that’s the thing - there are only 14 people on staff, and he is the one ass in the bunch. He’s pretty much alienated everyone - although he doesn’t know it, because he sucks up to their face.
Remember in junior high, there was always the clique of “popular” girls? They would sometimes let a chosen less popular girl into their little circle, then make snide comment to other people when she wasn’t around.
Now take that same backstabbing, petty, duplicitous attitude and put it into a 40+ year old man. And he tries to bully anyone he thinks will buckle under to him.
On a happier note, my sister has a new puppy! Bernese mountain dog - black lab mix.

After a grueling five minute commute home the game has not changed…at all.
Better rum here, though.

Baroque, do you prefer a 3” or a 4” brush?;-)

Ha ha.
Filberts and brights, with short handles for better control - hate rounds. Always have. And I love the snap in the golden taklon bristles. They have so much liveliness to them.

Dear God we need a hockey game before you bitches start comparing recipes!

and that includes the potential extra digits from having been birthed in Predators territotory.
Lest anyone think by that sentence that I’m impugning my conception, BTW, I’m not. Michigan-conceived, Michigan-born, Michigan-bred (Whitmore Lake, Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, in that order). Making a joke at Bubba’s expense.
Still, I think I might trade my birthright of being a son of god’s country for a Wings goal or ten right now.

Every other game going on right now has some score in it.
I have the sinking feeling this is going to be 1-0 for somebody after nine rounds of a shootout.

First game back and already I’m learning. Glad your back Baroque!

I think I’ll rewatch the first two periods later tonight if I’m having trouble falling asleep.

Touche, mon choux. Exactly what my mind has been thinking, with a stomach that has been sinking.
Oh, when you guys tire of painting and start talking about photography, let me know and then I might have something constructive to add to the conversation.

SOGs:
Wings: 23
Jackets: 13
We’re doing so well on the defensive side of the puck but man, we gotta get some goals.
Posted by SYF from a "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" on 01/06/09 at 09:10 PM ET
I’m soooooooo bored with this game, I decided to look up a new vocabulary word
Taklon
“For durability and performance even on the toughest of surfaces try a White Taklon brush! Taklon is one of the most popular synthetic filaments in the world and for good reason. They are durable while also having great color capacity. These brushes are ideal for work on rough watercolor paper because they bounce back and deliver predictable brush strokes time and time again!”
Hey, they bounce back and deliver predictable strokes time and time again, so I’m ordering a couple dozen first thing tomorrow. I’ll report back later.

Too, too true.

The Ottawa - Buffalo game has had FIVE goals! Too bad they couldn’t send a few over here.

Holy Christ. I’m lobbying Uncle Gary’s office right now to erase the remaining five BJs from our schedule.

Favorite subjects? Landscapes, urban, portraiture? Color or black and white?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 09:15 PM ET
Mason is a big kid. Heck, his size alone covers a lot of net. On the other hand we have Dats and Mule and Z and Hoss ect…. Not to worry, we’ll get a few by him.
Sit back,relax, and watch the Wings win.Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

At least it’s not 8 games this season.

So, speaking of the Big Lebowski, I have a Virginia “Bowler” theme license plate on reserve.
The plate number? MRKIT0.
Should I get it?

Hey y’all. Late to the party again. I haven’t heard a thing about the first 2 periods. All I’ve seen is Conk’s save on Peca. Hopefully the Wings can break the dam open in the 3rd.

Who knew BJ’s could be a bad thing. Certainly not Bill Clinton.

Split the possible points, just get’em over with.
As Scotty said so well, “they’re bored”.

Just Yuengling Hurricane. And I’m fully stocked.

The master of the house be back, and she has a splitting headache from working until 8:30 PM. So the live feed is off despite my protestations. Night all, and here’s hoping we knock some rubber into the twine once or twice.

It’s actually a boy dog - so that makes the determination easy!
He’s SUCH a sweetie - only six months old, and 60 pounds already. An outside dog, obviously. They just took him in to get broken (I refuse to call it fixed, as all parts were in working order before the surgery) and had him sequestered in the laundry room with one of those collars on so he wouldn’t get at his stitches, but now he is healed and romping around in the snow like a little bear. It so makes me want a puppy - but a dog that size would destroy my house. I love big dogs, though - Rottweilers, Samoyeds, Great Danes. Why I’m so interested in dogs that might outweigh me I have no idea.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 09:21 PM ET
Jesus. Ken Hitchcock hockey sucks so bad. Man, what a save by Mason. He looked like Hasek on that.

Me? I’d grab “12 Cups” before RWBill does.
Posted by dougie on 01/06/09 at 09:22 PM ET
OMG - Just imagine how difficult it’s going to be for the Wings to get within 60 feet of the net if the BJs score first! Ugh. Wrestling match.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 01/06/09 at 09:22 PM ET
