Hey, fellers, didcha' seez me new AV. Heck, I might jus' maybe be a new DB, ya. thunk? Just funning, DB. Just funning.

:D

Nope. Funning aside, that's a neat AV, Goofy. I'd give it two thumbs up. :thumbs:

In last night's hockey game between the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks, Erik Gudbranson (Ducks) sucker-punched Garnet Hathaway (Capitals), well after the play had been stopped, while the latter was being restrained. Hathaway's response was to spit on Gudbranson.

Hathaway got a game misconduct, and faces further disciplinary action from the league for spitting, and after the game said, "It has no place...It was a quick reaction and unfortunately the wrong one for me after getting sucker punched."

Gudbranson got a 10 minute misconduct, and because he was "only" assessed 10 minutes, might not face further league action. After the game he said, "...That's what this game is all about is guys fighting to win hockey gms & sometimes that's what happens. But going to that level is wrong."

Now, I'm not saying that league shouldn't discipline Hathaway. They would be right to do so.

But if they don't also discipline Gudbranson, that's complete bullshit.

Sometimes I just don't understand these professional referees. I agree with you, gg. It does seem like BS when the rulings don't seem to be fair or equal in situations like this.

"Religions of the World", in all it many iterations claims that Buddhism asks, "What is the sound of shit happening?"
My response to this is to fart loudly in Buddha's general direction.

So, Garnet Hathaway had his hearing with the league yesterday. The end result? A 3-game suspension.


...compared to nothing. Absolutely nothing, not even a further look into Erik Gudbrandson's behavior.

Total fucking bullshit. The hockey operations divisions (which was responsible for handing down this decision) needs to go fuck itself, immediately.

I shore has liked Pixies-Place. It's right friendly round har.

I'll second that, Goofy. I've liked Pixies ever since I registered by in May of 2002. Actually, a little before then when I was just a "lurker." :)

I've certainly enjoyed a lot of your peotry, DB. It's a skill that I completely lack.

Thank you, gg! I'll never make in the literary field, but I do enjoy putting together little poems. Glad you've enjoyed them.

This is so appropriate:

That it is, Goofy. :nod:

This place has come to be truly important to a lot of us over many years now.

:grope:

Scary thing:

The Australian wildfires have burned an area over twice the size of Wales.

My girlfriend's mother died the early hours of this morning.

And in the joys of being polyamorous, another girlfriend's mother may be headed the same direction.

Deepest sympathies, gg, for you and your girlfriend. Sorry to hear that.
