OT: Puns n' COSes

[PredsV82]

Anyone get to see the Janet concert? Because holy ****...

Janet who? And what happened?

 

[PredsV82]

I am one week from my last day of (real) work, and one month from my formal retirement.

It's not really all that and a bag of chips; essentially I'm resigning and getting a monthly check as a consolation prize for having slaved for the SOWI for 24+ years.

Be glad you have a job with a designated pension that your state has funded. Kentuckys system is something like 30 billion dollars underfunded and there is gonna be hell to pay to fix it. I won't go into the politics of pensions but I'd suggest you may be in the last generation to get such benefits...

I think some states may last longer. Tennessee was smart and recently a few years ago converted to some sort of hybrid system, but I am grandfathered into the legacy plan thankfully.

Janet Jackson. It was just a really bad ass show.

PK was there and posted a picture of Janet, himself and his Subban jersey. Such a schmoozer... :-D

I'M A MAN! I'll study French till I go to bed!

*6 hours later*

Oh f*** this shit.

This is going WAY back. Does anyone remember who was referred to as the "Team Poet" for the Preds? This was probably back when we played Vancouver in the playoffs. There was an article in a Montreal paper that IIRC when translated it referred to one of our players with that description. I think it was Steve Sullivan, but I am not sure because I think they called him the Cloakroom Crusader so it may be someone else. I was updating some files and had a note that "Team Poet" was my answer to some password log in question (who's your favorite player or something like that) but of COURSE I would have coded it to myself. Obviously I haven't been asked the question in awhile, but I may need to know it someday.

I don't know what jersey to wear to the Garth concert while we play the Stars. Sadly, I don't own a Garth Brooks patch Preds sweater.

I have worked my last shift as a Youth Counselor for the state of Wisconsin.

 

[Adz]

Happy Retirement!

I hope I never have to retire--but it is by choice. I love my job. Helps when you work with muppets.

 

[jwhouk]

I have wanted to post something about hands in inappropriate places, but I won't.

Oh, you remember that picture, huh? That Elmo...such a naughty muppet! I kind of laughed when my sister picked out a Tickle Me Elmo for my new granddaughter.

Yeah! Jan. 1 Jailbait is marrying her HS sweetheart--he has a 21 month old so I get a built in toddler to play with in the deal. I got her a math toy because I'm me. It's a LeapFrog talking oven--she'll love it--but it's totally math.

Saw a meme of Kermit shortly after the whole Weinstein thing broke with him looking sad and saying "To get a job in Hollywood I had to let Jim Henson put his whole hand..." Im sure you can guess the rest...

I don't know what to wear Thursday night. Irwin? Can't wear Iron Hook because Adzy will mug me for my clothes. Gill? Vopat camp sweater?

Ha ha! My Jarnkrok jersey was one of the few not stolen. You're probably fine.

 

[101st_fan]

My Jarnkrok might have his DNA for cloning ...

Oh.
That's very different.
You should probably hide that from me forever.

I must have missed where Calle is your new crush... Cale, then Calle...

 

[Adz]

I must have missed where Calle is your new crush... Cale, then Calle...

I like his non-celly's and his cold Swedish ways. Also he's cute and besides the Cale/Calle thing, his last name is awesome. That we traded Legwand for him was the icing, though. You might remember I had a love hate relationship with David...

Still, I never just have ONE crush.

Just over 12 hours until I return to Smashville. Trying to decide on the packing list. Jersey for the game packed ... jersey for the concert packed ... might have an option for Friday's practice if I go (VOPAT!!!).

Livers are for the weak.

Screw it, they have dialysis machines right?

That would be for kidneys.

Livers regenerate, just like The Doctor

Yeah but this is 101st we are talking about. He might be on regeneration 4,189.

Merry Chirstmas, y'all.
