My son is 11 years old. He watches movies with profanity in them, he hears it from his friends, and sometimes (when I'm fixing plumbing) he hears it from me. He has been taught that just because he hears something doesn't mean it's o.k. to repeat it in school, mixed company, or society in general. There's a time and a place for profanity like when the fucking Yankees win the World Series and a time to refrain from it. Teach your child that, and he'll be fine. If his Asperger's makes that difficult, then so be it, perhaps you should refrain from allowing him to peruse sports forums. But to condescendingly tell longtime members here that your son is more educated than them because they swear in a sports forum is ridiculous. And to browbeat them because of your apparent lack of parental control is, quite frankly, bullshit. I won't swear on the Nickelodeon website, and I bet tommytrump is willing to make the same deal.

Why do people want to be good in the first place? How much of it is because they want others to think they are a good person? And if so, isn't this rather selfish and therefore diminishes the whole reason for being good?

Hurricanes = the AntiSharks.
Mediocre regular season followed by gritty, never say die attitude in the playoffs. You paying attention, Doug Wilson/Todd McClellan?

The Devils and Ducks have played in the Finals twice
I don't think so. Devils have beaten the Red Wings, Stars, and Ducks, and lost to the Avalanche.
posted by tahoemoj at 04:19 PM on May 18
Kinda like littleDude, I'm not heartbroken that the call went against the Wings, but, damn, that was brutal. I understand the "intent to blow" rule, it does make sense; it's just that the intent to blow was formed pretty damn quickly, wasn't it?

Yeah, bill, I placed my eggs in the San Jose basket again this year. Probably do it again next year, too.

I'm in the same boat as NoMich. School is kicking my ass (no coincidence that I've been active the last few weeks - winter break!) Got some great stuff last year, though, and would encourage any fence-sitters to join up. There's just too much good stuff out there to be discovered!
p.s. did Katy Perry ever give any acknowledgment to Jill Soubule for ripping her song off?

I suck at these things so bad that I can't even get one of those. Could set a record for most incorrect picks ever in the college bowl pick-em, though.

O.K. it's eight more as I see it. And if the entire post was tongue-in-cheek, then it's actually pretty damn funny!

No matter where this goes, I'm with lbb. It makes my skin crawl when I read a post wherein every word that isn't monosyllabic is misspelled. I'm guilty of more than my share of typos, but damn. If you look at the angry response posted there, it's freakin hilarious. After misspelling at least 10 more words (I'm going to go back and count now) the author gleefully points out his one intentional misspelling. Just a quick spellcheck might make posts infinitely more palatable.

Pfffttt. Guitar Hero. You guys are so '07. How bout a little round of SpoFi Rock Band? Course they'd need to add a keyboard to suit NoMich's tendency to the new wave of the 80's. Maybe in honor of owlhouse's descent, wo could play a little Men at Work or Psychadelic Furs?

Montreal over Philly in 5. (Kovalev and Briere) Pittsburgh over New York in 6. (Sykora and Shanahan) San Jose over Dallas in 6. (Cheechoo and Richards) Detroit over Colorado in 5. (Holmstrom and Sakic) And I gave A. Kostitsyn in the first round. It was all the remoras feasting on the chum of my genius who didn't specify! Thanks for doing all this, NoMich.

Bystanders usually describe it as a seizure of some sort. Is that why when my wife and I go dancing, people are always trying to shove wallets in my mouth?

The dregs of American society is much more interesting than the NHL or NBA playoffs* YYM--I know your heart is broken like mine that the Devils are out of the playoffs, but buck up, little camper, they're still playing some good hockey. And besides, I'm more of a philistine. *Took a little liberty with the quote to make you sound like one of the heathens.

I'm looking for the angle to make me believe that was a joke. Did that seriously happen? Are we possibly at the onset of a rash of spofi-related violence?

Watching the stellar play of both Rafalski and Gomez makes the thrashing the Devils are receiving even tougher to stomach.
