[Aerrol]

I always like these, so why not.

1) Age - 27
2) Status - Single
3) Place of birth - Edmonton
4) Current location - Ottawa
5) Current Job - Articling Student
6) Best moment as an oiler fan - 2006 was exciting as hell, but the ending was just too depressing. Winning the McDavid lottery for me, no question.
7) Worse moment as an oiler fan - This February. I legitimately believed that we were just going to trade all our talent away for veteran grinders as MacT scrabbled to hold onto his job. You know, lose everything were supposedly sucking to get.
8) Craziest thing you have done to prove you were an Oiler fan - Uh... nothing much to be honest. I've never had it questioned lol.
9) Favorite current oiler - The lack of McDavid here is shocking to me! Also, still Yakupov. I believe he'll turn it around!
10) Favorite oiler all time - Gretzky or Kurri
11) Most hated oiler current - I don't really hate anyone currently... I guess I'll be happy to see Ference and Nikitin gone.
12) Most hated oiler all time - CHRIS FRIGGIN PRONGER.
13) NHL Arena you've been to - Only Rexall, sadly.
14) Favorite non oiler current - Evgeni Malkin (close behind: Ovechkin, Datysuk, Crosby. I love my skill and Russian players)
15) Most hated Non oiler current - Brad Marchand
16) If you were a player--who would you be? I'm going to dream and say I'd probably be a good smaller skill player - someone like Eberle or Duchene (I'd like to imagine I'd be able to get as fast as him). Realistically I'd probably end up as an AHL tweener/almost NHLer like Toni Rajala, if I even had to talent to come anywhere near the NHL.
17) First NHL game - I think a game in 2007 with some friends. Against the Kings I want to say. We lost. I've never seen the Oilers win live (I've been to 5 or 6 games now)... so I should probably avoid going to games too often for the sake of our record
18) R U a Season ticket holder - Noooope. Never have been.

OPTIONAL STUFF

20) Favorite TV show alltime and now - The Colbert Report and now the Late Show with Stephen Colbert (I like Colbert, lol)
21) Laziest thing you have ever done - This isn't really lazy, but I recently got into a haze playing Europa Universalis 4 and didn't move from my chair for like... 16 or 18 hours straight. That wasn't healthy.
22) What is your hidden talent - I'm the equivalent of a 3rd or 4th degree black belt in kung fu, I guess.
23) Ched vs Team1260 - I don't know, I never listen to either.
24) Craziest thing you have done - That's message board safe? I once got to ride an ostrich around. Not that dangerous, but I love the fact that I got to ride an ostrich.
25) Which HF poster would you like meet - Last year I said Replacement, but I'll say ChaoticOrange this year - knowledgeable, likeable and active poster. I feel like he'd be fun to grab a beer with. I'd definitely attend an HFOil meetup though. Lots of great posters.

Optional:
I remember the game I started cheering for the Oilers, back in 1983-ish (on ITV ), before they had won a cup, they were having a monster season and one game they were without a number of their stars and Pat Hughes scored 5 goals. That was a memorable game, and even at a young age I recall thinking "If even Pat Hughes can score 5 goals, in a game where most of their stars are out, then this is the team I should be cheering for".

24) Craziest thing you have done When I was a teenager, one of the local cops pissed me off during a traffic stop so my buddies and I put up garage sale signs around town for his house two weeks later, just so there'd be less suspicion. We even put one up across the street from the police station. Needless to say he got woken up by complete strangers in his backyard pounding on his back door at 6:00 a.m. one Saturday. His attitude changed a bit (for the better) after that.
25) Which HF poster would like meet--which one would you never want to meet(Besides me) I think McPuritania, Del Preston & I would get along in real life for some reason. A lot of their comments are exactly what I was thinking. McDorian as well-we both like the classic rock/metal. And I want Replacement to yell at me to get off his lawn-jk...I have a lot of respect for him and he'd be interesting to meet in real life.

It's a video game series. A really good one mind you but still.

I can't talk though, I once vetoed a date because it was the NHL Draft.

Oh, it's as bas everyone thinks it is. I had a "want to go out for drinks after work?" And a "my parents are out of town.. want to come over tonight?" From 2 girls I was interested in.. both within about an hour of each other. My reasoning was I had waited outside in the cold for the wii and barely got to play it then I worked 10 days in a row.. needed to play in my mind. I was young and cocky back then and had also been the guy who would approach 2 girls at a bar, hit on them and give them my number.. only the number was the rejection hotline one and I imagined their confused reaction and found it hilarious. Maybe this explains why I've been single for 5 years. Burned all of my chances early. Hahahahaha
