Sharks Fans Roll Call

[Der Schwarze Tod]

Hi All,

Name: Dave, David, Hey You, Poopface 2000, hey baldy, the list goes on and on...

Age: 32

Hometown: Born: San Jose Live currently: Denver

Occupation: Meteorologist, Student, megalomaniac in training...muah ha ha ha!!!

Favorite player: I like them all except for the Lemiuex's

Favorite prospect: I'm very excited to see what McGinn will do.

Favorite team(s): I like 'em all, but since I have to pick...I pick Da Sharks

Favorite Sharks player: Not a one I don't like


Favorite hockey moment: I have two: The double (?) overtime winner vs Calgary in the playoffs way back in what...the 94-95 season? The other is seeing the looks of utter vexation and anger on the faces of the AVS fans when our Sharks took it to their boys these past playoffs. They actually throw food and profanity at you here in Denver when their teams lose. How spoiled can you get? I was actually barred from a sports bar for wearing a Sharks hat. The reason? "Raiders and Sharks fans start too many fights." I took that to really mean that Raiders and Sharks fans are victorious in too many fights. If we lost, then they would welcome us in as lambs to the slaughter. A little long winded...sorry...had to get that off my chest. Amendment...I must add the 5-on-1 PK against Edmonton. That was the single greatest hockey moment I've ever seen.

Favorite movie: The Matrices

Favorite book: The Communist Manifesto, The German Ideology...Go Rev!

Favorite TV show: Can't stand TV...

Favorite food:

School: Metropolitan State College of Denver. Graduated class of '06. I even won some awards. If I had a mom...I think she'd be proud.

Skills(?): Irritating people because I want to overanalyze and question everything? That IS irritating, right? Oh, and I might be the best da** weather forecaster in Colorado...maybe the world! Wanna play some spades?
