Just gonna stock up on mid 2000s defensemen. D Mattias Ohlund

@ajgoal

You already have two defensemen.

GM Doug: My pick! I slept through it!

GM Doug: Whew, looks like I didn't miss anything. What categories are left?
Dustin Byfuglien: Is there a category for player who makes the best cartoon gif? Because you could pick me.

GM Doug: No duplicates.
DB: Weaksauce.
GM Doug: Nope, I'm going for TV character.
DB: The good shows are all taken.
GM Doug: Far from true. In fact, this character is from one of the most renowned shows of all time and none of these savages picked it.
DB: Didn't you pick a show already?
GM Doug: Yes, this was my other choice.
DB: You know, that's how some good options falls in the draft. Look at me, I went 245th overall.
GM Doug: Anyway, it's time to pick. Gonna just whistle my way up to the podium.
DB: If that has some significance, I do not know what it is.

GM Doug: The Chimpanzees are proud to select with their TV character pick, Omar Little from The Wire.

DB: Sheeeeeeeeeeit.
GM Doug: No, that was Clay Davis who said that. This is Omar! Step to me now Helle, I got a guy on payroll with a sawed off that knows how to use it! BOOM!

(Whoever was up before is still up.)

 

[Hurricane28]

Ah ok. I’m busy at work tonight so I’ll have a pick by the time I sign off. You guys carry on though

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

@ajgoal you are still up, in case there was any confusion or whatever.

Yay. He was on my short list. Glad he was picked.

Team LastMeal:

A McChicken stuffed inside a McDouble also known as a:.

Spoiler: Don’t know if you can say the part after the Mc

The McGangBang

It is a glorious, artery clogging delicacy that I would love to go out on

 

[ajgoal]

Well good morning. I didn't mean to check this early, but here we are. We're picking this guy just for @Captain Dave Poulin.

Legends LW: Brian Bellows

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Good morning to my man Phil Harmonica and his trumpet players, the Horndogs, and also to you nerds, I guess.

We start the morning with @pit on the clock, followed by me, followed by @DancingPanther, followed by @Magua, followed by @Lord Defect, and so on.

I checked the schedule, right, because I wanted to see how much longer those f***ers could interfere with Asian Cinema Night. Last night was Day 2 of the NFL Draft - that's an OK thing to sacrifice ACN for, because @JojoTheWhale and @FLYguy3911 are dropping knowledge and I am learning. The Flyers? Not so f***ing much. Anyway, I checked the schedule and those confused bastards can only interfere with ACN two more times - next Friday and next Saturday. It's pure misery to have a whole nuther back-to-back like that, especially against the Craps, but check this out - the following Monday is the last day of the season. All we have to do is make it through tonight, and then there are only eight more sleeps until we put that carcass back in its coffin and flush it back down the Wells Fargo-sized toilet to rest in stench until the autumn, thank almighty f***.

So what I am saying is pick and choose and shop, and then before you know it, the shackles will be shat into the ether and we will be free.

I'm back in my happy place this weekend (balls deep in some cold water) so please feel free to skip me if I don't make my pick within 15 minutes, assuming we get to me.

@mja

Yeah, that’s our parking spot when we’re in town to play the M.A.D. Cats.

There’s a lot of cool old zeppelin photos out there.

GM Doug: Let me ask you something Mike.

Mike Sullivan: Do I have to?
GM Doug: Yes, I'm your boss.
MS: Ugh, then why even ask?
GM Doug: Because I'm a nice guy. So listen Mike, how much do you trust the people that run this league?
MS: I'm more worried about the people running this team so I don't think about the league too much. Why?
GM Doug: Well, I've been reading up on Urban Legends and now, you know, I feel a bit...
MS: Paranoid?
GM Doug: WHO TOLD YOU THAT? WHO SAID I'M PARANOID?!
MS: Woah, chill out Doug.
GM Doug: Sorry, sorry, bit on edge. Anyway, who is to say those crafty bastards won't do something in the future to cross over categories?
MS: I don't follow.
GM Doug: Something messed up like one of your categories now plays for your team or something.
MS: I don't know, seems a bit far-fetched that they wou-
GM Doug: Exactly, that's how they get you. Do the research man.
MS: I'm just going to go get some breakfast now...
GM Doug: Be careful man. I read birds aren't real. And if birds aren't real, then what are eggs? Huh? HUH?
MS: Later freakazoid. Don't forget your tinfoil hat.
GM Doug: Good call.

GM Doug: The Chimpanzees are pleased to select an Urban Myth that with its size could step right into our lineup tomorrow. We choose Bigfoot.

@Captain Dave Poulin . It's your turn. Or is it?

It's not super fair for me to choose a category, since I do that half of the time with impunity anyway, but in the end it all benefits the "group," like Alain's coaching. I'm going to pick my favorite category that hasn't been launched yet, especially because it is going to cause problems for all the illiterates.

Team Category - Standalone Book

(can't be by an author who was already chosen, no duplicates, etc.)

@DancingPanther

 

[DancingPanther]

In the spirit of another shift at the vaccine clinic today paying me overtime, the Plats have decided to round out our D corps with Adrian Aucoin

@Magua

You are on the clock and I feel fine

Great category. Time to weed out the illiterates

Day after Covid shot #2

arm is pretty sore
I’m a bit achy and fatigued too

all in all not bad. Oh yeah, my neighbors were delicious

Your qualifier of standalone implies specific books within a series are not eligible, is this correct

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

No, that's not what I mean - I just mean a single book, so you can't pick a series, but you could pick a book from within a series.

THIRTEEN DAYS UNTIL LEVEL 99 HEALTH

If you start feeling meh take some Tylenol and Motrin and a nap. DPs orders

Excellent ok

 

[DancingPanther]

Also just want to point out I made my pick at actual light speed
