The Critic

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 02:02 PM) Ugh. Grown men who wear Hockey jersey's look silly. Excellent callback to a very goofy thread.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 02:17 AM) Let's just change the name to the "Hall of Very Good" . Well, it's not the Hall of Greatness, it's the Hall of Fame. So only the most famous players should get in, obviously.

Saw this over at WSI and figured I'd share the news over here. This website: http://www.hockeyattire.com/ is having a 70% off sale on your entire order. I ordered a Blackhawks tee, a Leafs tee and a Kings tee and after shipping my total cost was 23 bucks! Just use the code alloff70 when checking out and you're good to go! They have limited supplies of different jerseys there as well, and when you take the 70% off the $149.99 cost, it comes to about 46 bucks. There are some really good deals on all kinds of apparel.

Here's the story of Pit's untimely death: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=Al_d...p&type=lgns I definitely hope they have a nice tribute to Pit tomorrow night - I'm sure they will, it's just too bad that Steve Larmer's heritage night will have this note of sadness to it.

I'm really enjoying Jericho's promo. Except he just said his son would see him come home with the world champion (not championship) around his waist.

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2008_/1228151324.php -- Randy Orton has been telling friends that WWE offered him a 10-year contract, reports ProWrestling.net. Although there is still no word on whether Orton will agree to the deal, it says a lot about their faith in the young superstar. WWE is also trying to sign Rey Mysterio to a five-year deal.

Terrible news! I hope they find Pit. One of my early favorites when I first started watching the Hawks. for good ol' #7.

I think Foley was limited in the ring, but he made the most of what he could do, and he "told a good story" in the ring as well. All I can say is that while I still enjoy watching Flair's old promos, I just can't get enough of Mick's. The entire anti-ECW series is just classic stuff. The promos were awesome and in the ring Foley got more heel heat just by using headlocks and armbars than most people could in their entire careers.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) Do you have a DVD burner? The quality of the majority of the videos on YouTube are really s***ty. I wouldn't burn those to a DVD. Flair was indeed great, but Foley trumps ALL.

I wish there was a DVD of Mick Foley's ECW promos. I've been on a YouTube binge all morning. Simply put, there has never been anyone better at promos in the history of pro wrestling.

Bolland gets popped in the face with a high-stick and Kane scores on the power play! 2-1 Hawks!! This is more like it!!

Huet makes another GREAT save and then Sharp scores off a terrific pass from Seabrook. 1-1 now!

Hawks look like absolute s*** so far again today. 1-0 Kings right now, should be at least 2-0 and maybe 3-0. They better get their heads out of their asses and start playing smarter.

Hell Yeah, I'll shuffle for ya!! Naked Raygun - Backlash Jack Testament - Into The Pit Garbage - Vow Kiss - Rocket Ride Duff McKagan - Mezz Angel City - Skin & Bone Fuel - New Thing Midnight Oil - Read About It Quiet Riot - Party All Night The Wildhearts - Can't Do Right For Doing Wrong and the super-secret, Let's Go Hawks! bonus track: The Smithereens - Only a Memory

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) The new Kanye album is crap. 808s can make a good record, just ask M.I.A. but his album is missing a lot. The lyrics are generally lame, the songs feel unfinished and it sounds like he recorded it in his basement on his old Jambox. And the Autotune thing is way overdone. Everyone credits T-Pain, but you know that they're all just really chewing on Cher's worn out autotune jock from 1998. Has anyone heard the new GNR album? I have. I don't like it. The title song is the only song on the CD that rocks at all. The rest of the disc is full of bloated, overproduced ballad/epic/anthems. It's far closer to the Use Your Illusions than it is to Appetite, but both Illusions at least had some good rock tunes on them.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) My dad was the same way with me.But when I actually heard him swear when he let an F bomb slip I remember being kinda heartbroken.It was a wierd childhood moment. So dont slip at the dinner table and say something like....Could you pass me the f***in ketchup sweetie. Cause that would be traumatic for your daughter. Well, I'm really careful about it, but I'm sure she'll hear me cuss at some point. Probably when I'm driving. I f***ing HATE driving now (used to love to drive, but the imbeciles have killed the enjoyment for me).

Well, that sucked. 1-0 Ducks win. Hawks were one-and-done all day as far as shots on goal. Oh well, go to LA and take one tomorrow!

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) False. The person below me underappreciates the brilliance of Yoko Ono. False, because there is no brilliance to underappreciate. The person below me has called in to a talk radio show.

I always thought Jenny McCarthy looked a bleached-blond Ruth Buzzi with bolt-on tits.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) That's too bad. Is it better that he gets to say goodbye now? I have never been in or close to a situation like that. I would think it is better - it seems like most people really regret never being able to say goodbye to loved ones. I think it would ease people's minds to say goodbye and express their love while he's still alive.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) Its similar to The Running of the Brides. People + Crazy Discount Deals + small amount of time = Batsh*t crazy I call Black Friday "The Running of the Jags". People stealing s*** out of each other's carts and s*** like that = classless. It's just not worth it. Again, thank Al Gore for online shopping - I got my nephew an Iron Man DVD and Robot Chicken Season One DVD for 22 bucks total, and didn't put myself at risk of trampling.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 11:14 AM) A Walmart employee in New York was killed and four others injured during the 5am crush to get into a store this morning. WTF is wrong with people. I mean, I don't even understand the desire to do this sort of thing to begin with. And get this... one of the injured people was a pregnant woman. What woman in her right mind does something like this while pregnant? How stupid can you possibly be? And how embarrassing for yourself to be one of these zombies mad-rushing a friggin Walmart at 5am to save a few bucks on something? Someone needs to explain this to me. Too many people are s***heads who think they're the only person on the f***ing planet. End of explanation.

Remember, everyone, the Hawks play at 3:00 PM today (@ Anaheim) and tomorrow (@ L.A.). I'm hoping they can take one of these games, but both places seem to give them trouble. I guess I'd settle for 2 points any way they can get them (either win one of them or take them both to OT).

False, since they gave up the NHL rights. The person below me has been "escorted" from a bar for fighting.
