Not that one.

So there's still hope. Excellent!

[ajgoal]

You people are twisted.

 

[Magua]

That will be true for me half the time because I follow Pancing Danther. I'm going to have to give Cap my cell so he can text me when it's finally my turn to pick.

And the response I'll send every time is:

Picking next to DP was the time of my life (behind Bern). Risqué private messages. And he never picks early morning, so I don’t have to worry about that. Time to think and ruminate. And did I mention the risqué private messages?

 

[BiggE]

You people are twisted.

Seriously, you just realized this??

 

[ajgoal]

Seriously, you just realized this??

Oh, no, I realized it a long time ago. Why do you think I parked the RV out back?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I am ready to record the pick by @GKJ

[GKJ]

Didn’t realize where we were at and had to read over everything. I have no idea what yeh chick thing is. But I’m taking a player and one of the few draftable New Jersey Devils: Yegor Sharangovich who I think is a center..?

We usually pick players relatively early, but with us having the third pick this time around, we have to use it on some of the real important stuff. And this one is hard, because there have been many well loved dogs and cats, of many different breeds, over the years. We'll just say right here that if this was added to several phases, we would not be opposed. We could take five or six breeds with us and still want for more. But for this time, we're going to go with the first pet we had that was a true "breed." Goofy, loveable, sometimes insane, but usually just content to sit on the couch with you.

Team Dog Breed: Great Dane

I still miss this guy.

Pretty popular in media. [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] were all great danes.

@Strawberry Fields

Huh. Finally.

I seriously feel I'm going to be sniped

Well take Danny Briere, C.

If we have to chose a song owned by an evil corporation, we’re choosing one of the best.


Further stipulation behind the song, the actual version will only be played at the Rogers Place Arena.
This cover will be played at all other arenas,
minus our own.

We will not be using the song for any promotional, off ice, or at home on ice use.
From the kindness of our hearts, we are sparing the other teams in the league from paying the full master use fee, and allowing them to secure the rights of the cover above.
You’re welcome.

@Captain tiger pants, you’re up

I've never gotten the popularity of this song - it's not particularly catchy or interesting to my ears, but my own children, particularly the teenager, love the damn thing.

Speaking of a child's love of strange entertainment, we redid the tween's bedroom and per his request now have two canvas prints of that weird volleyball anime that @Captain Dave Poulin and @Striiker enjoy so much on the way. I'm getting really concerned about how that one is going to turn out.

My wife mentioned the song the second I got the category out of my mouth. It’s been running through my head the entire time since. It’s a goddamn ear worm.

Our fans at away arenas can also replace “the Huns” by inserting the home teams name when they shout “Let’s get down to business!”

It’s my daughter’s favorite Disney song, her friends’ as well, and she sings it frequently. Like, I get serenaded with it at least a couple of times a month.

I consider this true for most showtunes.

I think it's just my music preferences that make me say that. I'm not saying showtunes are musically bad or boring or anything like that. They're not. And to boot the vocals are tremendously performed and the music is excellently produced.

I've concluded the very nature of showtunes (including Broadway etc) annoy me. I've never gotten into them. It's the lyrics. They're so bland and boring and not creative just as a consequence of being a showtune. Singing a script isn't what I want to listen to and many times I can't escape that eyeroll feeling.

Now don't get me wrong there are some absolutely legendary showtunes that I really enjoy, many of which will crop up in this thread- I'm just making a general point about one of my unpopular opinions. I also just woke up so I'm having trouble articulating this

Good morning, knob and tube wireless receivers.

We start the day with me on the clock - my pick is ready of course, and will be pooped out in a minute. @Strawberry Fields will then be up, with @FlyTimmo on deck, @JojoTheWhale on the lido deck, and @Striiker on the lido afterdeck.

I've never heard of that song that Earl Dumbass posted above, but you know how I have been saying recently that every single commercial on TV is super terrible? Last night I was rescued when they played one from the Before Time. Here's how it goes.

Interior, Airplane, Daytime.

Several stewardesses and a steward holding a bottle of pink liquid on a tray line up several feet in front of an uncomfortable passenger in her seat. She is clearly suffering from some internal unrest in her bowels. The crew sings.

(IN CHORUS)

"When you have upset stomach
Indigestion
Upset stomach ... "

The steward moves forward, bending to end on one knee in front of the passenger, holds forth the tray which holds the pink bottle, and croons solo:

"DIARRHEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"



The amount of sheer, sincere joy I get from this commercial is immeasurable, and I don't think it's because I'm childish, but it may be because I'm childish. Speaking of sincere joy, we are bullshitless until Friday. Not only that - we have only three more bullshits to endure before the bliss erupts from the chasm of sorrows that is the 2020-21 Philadelphia Stupids Season. Embrace that, let it infuse your bowels, and use it to propel you toward the Try Hard Garbage shop for some impulse buying. I'm a businessman.

"DIARRHEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

The Quebec Lapins are happy to add this guy to our excellent back end. He plays for my favorite Finnish team, Karpat, whose logo has a mongoose on it:

Team Current D - Topi Niemela

@Strawberry Fields I'm not sending you a PM, since you said you don't read them - let me know if you want me to in the future.

I haven't added them to the shop yet, but I have some "Haikyuu!" designs that I will add so you can buy each of your children several shirts, shower curtains, notebooks, sweatshirts, comforters, clocks, and acrylic blocks. I'll tell you when they are ready.

 

[BiggE]

Well take Danny Briere, C.

I thought we were drafting active idiots, not retired ones this phase. @Captain Dave Poulin please advise
