Oh man I am not very with it this morning. I was out very late last night and writing isn’t a top priority this morning. Yet here I sit tapping away on this bloody thing while chili peppers plays in the background. I started my morning watching some PATV. Which is a series I highly recommend you check out. I am pretty sure I would not fit in with the PA crew, but they seem to have the same feel of crews I run with.
This morning’s video viewing had a couple on pranks they have pulled. They made me chuckle, because while all the ones shown were clever they seemed to be missing something. They didn’t quite have the baked in up yours flavor that I prefer. Over the years I have been involved with more pranks than I can even remember. On the internet my favorite has to be the Jim is dead prank. Good luck finding out the entire story on that one, but it still makes me chuckle today. The none Internet realm of life has seen a vast array of nasty little tricks, Some of which I will now bore you with. There are the simple ones like taping down the dish sprayer in a kitchen sink, maple syrup on the toilet seat, saran wrap in the same place. Frozen rattle snake in the fridge or the passenger seat of your buddies truck. Drawing on the first guy to pass out at a party with permanent marker. Armadillo in your truck bed, live squirrel lose in your car, car filled with newspapers, fresh cookies under car doors, using tape to make personalized license plates dirty, fish wired to the exhaust of a car and the exploding golf ball. Which mind you works just as well in someones boots. I could probably do an entire podcast on pranks. Worry not, I would not dare torture anyone with that. Let me just say, thank god video cameras were not as easy to get back then. My sorry ass would probably be all over YouTube.
Hey guess what, the Red Wings showed up last night. Fucking hell where has this team been for six games. They played flatter than road kill the first three games and squeaked by the next two. Last night even when the sharks had a goal lead I was convinced they would win it. In fact right after that goal I was called away to visit a friend and I was in no way surprised to find they won the game. I am not sure where they have been hiding, but if that Red Wing team shows up in game seven there could be a fourth team to climb out of a three game hole. If your a Shark’s fan you have my sympathies that your team is even in this position. I am a realist to the core and you should of dusted our asses already for fucks sake. Those of you that need choke defined for you properly, here is a text book example. Even if the Sharks win game seven, this mess is still a choke big time. I just wanted to point that out as the word gets misused badly by Hockey fans. In fact throw Vancouver under the same bus for letting Chicago think it was going some where. It’s just easier with the Sharks since they are well practiced at the maneuver. I probably just jinxed the Wings running my mouth, but fuck it. Oh and Roenick, just your damn pie hole please.
I got a small shock last night when I went away from hockey to visit one of my best friends. I say small as with social media there is really no surprising people. In other words Facebook stalking is something even I do. There is also the fact that he knew I wasn’t worried about what he was up to. My group of friends is small and they are all people I have been through the ringer with. So my stance has always been to support them no matter what they are doing. If they are happy then that is really all I care. Enough people give you shit for your choices, that having that group of friends who just accept it without question is a must. Since I am here safe in this post I will admit this. When my brain finally put two and two together with the help of Facebook, I was momentarily stunned. If my crew keeps up with these kind of shenanigans I will be last man standing. Which actually bothers me more than I like. How is that for vague as hell on a Wednesday
