You're lucky we're the Church of England!
What I've taken away from all this drag talk is that Eddie Izzard makes a better looking woman than Fred Armisen.
Proof?
And Damien Brunner is worse than both

One thing about Brunner is a bit misleading.
He has scored 12 points (7+5) at 12 home games, and scored only 4 points (3+1) at 7 road games. So there's a lot more road games is left, that probably means his points per game will go down.
If he keeps these scoring rates at home and away he will end up:
24 home games, 14+10=24 points. 76 shots (3.17 per game)
24 away games, 10+3=13 points. 96 shots (4.00 per game)
48 games, 24+13 = 37 points. 172 shots (3.58 per game)
At 82 game comparison, that would be 41+22=63 points, 294 shots.
But of course, you can't go that far because this shortened season is easier to complete. Everybody usually cools down on the longer run.

He has that kind of sense to be in the right spot at the right time.â€
“You know what?†Babcock told Holland. “I like him. I think he can play in the NHL.â€
Holland joined Babcock, and the two watched Brunner some more. They saw that he could skate. They saw that he knew where to go to score goals. But they didn’t know if he could play in the NHL.
So 10 goals and 2 GWG in SOs.
I start working so early over here in Europe, that for once I was able to see the last period live (alone at work).
His SO-Goal was nice, but much more impressed I was by his defensive effort... had a few nice plays on the D side... and one very important one when his line was caught in their own zone for quite some time with no chance to even get close to the puck, and you could feel the goal-against was just waiting around the corner. He first followed Thornton through half the zone keeping all the passing lines closed... and a few moments later forced Thornton to lose the zone...
His play against Big Joe last night where he pushed him out if the zone was an awesome effort. He had already been out there for minutes and you could tell he and his linemates were gassed.
I think he should play with Datsyuk for a few games to give it a shot. I know he and Z played in Zug together but I think he compliments Pasha's game a lot better than Z's.
He had 10 goals in his 1st 20 games, but has not scored since. Now as Z has got it going, maybe Brunner will too.
I don't want it to be a permanent move, but I really liked the way Miller played with Z and Fil. Won puck battles, went to the net, and he adds a little more defensive experience to the line. That line has been getting scored on too much this season.
Brunner ended up helping set up the Cleary goal with Andy as well. Give the change a couple games and see if there's something there.
Just wondered if you guys saw the Brunner Troll face that was captured last night
How has he looked after the first half? What's the reason behind him not getting any goals as of late?
I think exhaustion is the biggest reason. The schedule is getting really hard and they played already a long season with huge minutes at Switzerland together with Zetterberg. Z has also looked very tired.
Even if the rest of season will be worse, I really don't care about it. That doesn't tell anything, because this is a extraordinary season. Brunner has impressed me enough to get signed for a longer extension and that should be done as fast as possible. He is just heck of a hockeyplayer.
I still think this lineup could use Tatar.
