Well done. An xP/60 of 6.0 would put you on top of the entire Mega-Draft League.

For my comedian, I’m not into the whole comic thing, like there’s nothing wrong with it I just don’t pay a lot of attention to it. And i even already have a comic as my actress. Anyway, Parks and Rec is one of my favorite shows ever, so I’ll take Amy Poehler.
My cookie, I don’t know if this is too expansive but such great value left in Girl Scout Cookies. There is nothing not only liking and buying Girl Scout cookies but also supporting little girls having the doctrine of free enterprise (my phone autocorrected this to ‘free terrorize’) instilled in them at such a young age is just so empowering. No copping out either, you gotta buy it at the little table out front the supermarket since part of the game is making the kids freeze their asses off.

For NJFZ Team Superpower, we thought long and hard about what really matters most in the sport of hockey, and that's Intangibles, obviously, which goes so well with our fear of mathematics. So, our Team Superpower will be Intangibility.
Apparently this power is also called phasing, which we wouldn't know not being big comic book guys. With this power, we will be able to make ourselves and people / things we are in contact with intangible. Good luck establishing a forecheck or trying to takeaway the puck against the Flaming Zeppelins, much less stopping wraparounds. We'll literally be able to skate the puck into the net, and your players may also find themselves suddenly in the laps of rabid F'ing Zeppelin fans banging on the glass after a devastating check literally into or through the boards.
@BernieParent, we would never check you through the boards, just halfway into them with your feet sticking out humorously.

The problem is that we already had someone pick one of the GS cookies, so you have to pick a specific one that isn't Samoas.

God dammit, I guess the peanut butter patties so long as that doesn’t qualify as ‘peanut butter cookies’

Thanks, @mja. I will try to laugh good-naturedly through the comedically delivered but still excruciating pain.
"The Tampa Bay FireSticks are pleased to select as franchise comedian one of our personal favourites and, unfortunately, yet another of those whom we lost way too early: John Pinette.
"Once we are off our phones, which we are awful at working for posting links, etc, we will bless you all with samples of his brilliance."

I was just working on LUCKY PHASE 13! again, and it is seriously one of the best groups of categories we have ever had. I am VERY excited.

Here in Lakehurst, we are not the most mathematically-inclined.
10 year old me didn't fall in love with hockey because of statistics. In fact, 10 year old me didn't much like math at all, but I sure did enjoy Encyclopedia Brown novels, American history and the Flyers. Don't get me wrong, I respect the math, can generally follow it just fine, but fear mixing math with the finer things in life, like hockey (finer? ha!), almost as much as the authentic fans do.
That's why the NJFZ Team Phobia is Arithmophobia.
We'd like to conquer this fear to have a top notch analytics department when we depart on the [Ranch]. After all, our limited eye test seems to generally align with what the analytics say, which is probably attributable to 10 year old me's favorite players being cerebral guys like Mark Howe and Pelle Eklund (along with a complete headcase in Ron Hextall.)
@DancingPanther, what's your expected picks per 60 looking like these days?
True story: Mrs. Parent would not be Mrs. Parent were it not for math. I met her through her needing a tutor. Our children likewise owe their existence to math since we were fruitful and multiplied. #DadMathJokesareTHEWorst

I think your xP/60 has slipped to 4.44, but I'm not sure if I calculated that correctly because f*** Math. That's still quite excellent though.
