Dropping My Daily Stool Sample

No Plugs Tonight
Had all sorts of billing to do, along with Patriots and Celtics games to watch (both late wins).

Dear Malach

• Choas Dragoon asks: Dear Malach, Have you ever had a reverse boner? Because the picture on WOW just made my penis puncture my spleen.  No, I have not, and would never reach my spleen anyway, you see, I am only 2″ long . . ..  (wait for it) . . . but I am as wide as a Progresso Soup Can.

Sean Avery
So, for those of you who aren’t familiar with this, Sean Avery of the Dallas Stars was suspended 6 games by the NHL.  Not for a cheap hit, taking drugs, or something like that; but for saying that players on the Calgary Flames liked his “sloppy seconds”.  You see, Avery dated Elisha Cuthbert, and now she is dating Dion Phaneuf of the Calgary Flames.

6 games.  And yes, Avery is a character and an asshole, and makes Claude Lemiuex look like Mother Theresa; and yes, he is a locker room cancer, but 6 games?

This is the problem with the modern NHL.  10+ years ago, that would have been taken care of by the Flames themselves, on the ice, and also the Dallas Stars players.  Avery would of been pounded on, and eventually fought by one of their tough guys.  The NHL is sterilizing it’s product.  I mean seriously, who did Avery insult?  A couple of people?  What’s next?  Seriously, can you see this happening in any other sport?

Now there is the whole issue of Dallas being sick of Avery and trying to get out of his contract too . . .

How’s the Weather
So we got our first bit of snow here in Southeastern MA today, only about 1 – 2″, but is was fun to see and easy to shovel, and right now it is cold, about 24 degrees.  Might get some more snow later this week.

Da Price o’ Gas
Yeah, I got gas at a $1.62 a gallon over at BJ’s on Friday.  You know it is really exciting to see $20 get me 12+ gallons as opposed to like 4.5.

What is more shocking is it is only half!
I am 36, I play video games, my brother and wife are 34 and play, all my friends play, my kids play, my mother and father who are in the late 50′s play.  You see, I got my first video games system in the late 70′s early 80′s; Intellivision and the entire family wore that thing out.  My neighbors, one had various Atari systems including the 2600, another had ColecoVision, my Memere and Pepere even had the Odyssey system.  I even had friends with the Commodore 64.  I grew up playing video games, I even remember arcades, back when there was one of them in every mall, in every town.  And we just moved on up after Intellivision, the Orginal Nintendo, the Super Nintendo, the Nintendo 64, The Wii (skipped the Game Cube); Playstation I and II, Sega Genesis, even had a Dreamcast in college, though we spent more time playing DOOM on the PC.
