I wonder if the sun will ever come out in the San Francisco Bay Area again. Nice to know the rest of the planet gets to see that big, shiny sky orb...oh well.
Away we go.
- Break out the knives! Now the (always upstanding) agents are pushing back against Bloch's decision: "Any and all speculation that the league is going to claw back these other contracts ... would be in complete violation of the collective bargaining agreement and it would be a complete infringement of the players’ rights under the CBA...Any attempt to do so would be absolutely predatory behaviour by the league, would be in bad faith and not in the spirit of the CBA."
Random query for the day: who's the best and worst official (ignoring Auger) in the league and why. Go here for inspirational stat sleuthing.

I have some very early mornings this week, yeah.
I have a google alert set up for bunch of random things: Canucks, Mike Gillis, Roberto Luongo, etc…that may be a good start if you want something that crawls and indexes stuff while you sleep or are out living your life. You do have to filter through a bunch of crap though.

Best official – Kerry Fraser. Actually he wasn’t the best official, he would often be too noticable and infuriating. But that hair makes him a legend. Retire in Peace, oh golden one.

You know it isn’t really hair – it’s a custom made Devo hairmet – probably street legal for motorcycles.

Thirty Days Hath September
So:
Would it be possible to have an analysis of each NHL team by its SBNation blog, one for each day of September? Each blog would post the “Team Of The Day” on their blog each day.
Who better to know their own team, and what better way to show the other SB hockey blogs what good posts and interesting threads are going on each day?
I’ve been following Quisp’s analysis of the Kovalchuk umm…fiasco? on the King blog, for example, and he’s really sharp. There’s a lawyer there who’s very knowledgeable as well. There wouldn’t be a lawyer or two here, would there?
Maybe this is already a feature SB-wide each year, but if not: thoughts?

Towards the start of the regular season, SBN will run a look at each team each day. It’ll be in September, we did it last year.

I’m pretty sure most lawyers have heard all of them.
100 times.
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
"You had to have the BIG salad."
"Suit up."
"Eric, when your mom says are you ready for your catheter...the answer is no."
One of the most misused and misunderstood quotes of all time.
Shakespeare’s commentary has been misinterpreted to be understood as “the ultimate lawyer joke”, where he was really making a comment on the usefulness and importance of lawyers to society.
The joke’s on everyone else. :)
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
"You had to have the BIG salad."
"Suit up."
"Eric, when your mom says are you ready for your catheter...the answer is no."
Actually, unless one stretched the interpretation, that’s not exactly true. The quote (“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”) is from Henry the VI part II. It is said by Dick, on of the villains of the play, but asides from being the villain, Dick is also the comic relief. It comes from an exchange in which Dick and his buddy are describing the utopian society they would create should they be rulers. Killing the lawyers is included along with everyone eating and drinking for free and getting along like brothers. The audience would have laughed at the joke not because they thought, in that moment, this is what evil people think, but because they thought “haha wouldn’t that be great”.
JACK CADE.
I thank you, good people:- there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord.
DICK.
The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
JACK CADE.
Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o’er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings: but I say, ‘tis the bee’s wax; for I did but seal once to a thing, and I was never mine own man since.
The continuation from Jack Cade afterward makes Shakespeare’s point clear. It is foul to turn a lamb into parchment (i.e. legal document) and bees wax, which is used to seal legal documents, is claimed worse than a bee sting. So the most logical interpretation is that this is in fact a dig at lawyers for which the audience would be in on, rather than a suggestion that lawyers are good because bad guys don’t like them. And also it is very good writing!
by Beantown Canuck on Aug 12, 2010 7:55 AM PDT up reply actions
I always interpreted that as Shakespeare’s comment on the collapse of society without lawyers. But I admittedly have not studied Henry as much as some of his other plays, and certainly not with the detail you have outlined here.
Point for Bean.
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
"You had to have the BIG salad."

Well, I went, and whoda thunk it…they rocked the shit out of it. Singer is like 60+ years old, 40 of em with hard touring and drinking and his voice hasn’t changed since the hair of the dog days. Bass player looked like an aging accountant , all bald and chubby, and was so in the pocket it was crazy. They had replaced the drummer tho, with their original drummer’s son I believe…well, someone’s son.

All kidding aside, I’ve never found Shania all that sexy. She’s definitely attractive, but she’s got no sexy to her; not sure how to explain it, but I look at her and see nothing that says there’s any part to her that’s not already on full display…for a forties-ish hottie who is also extremely sexy, I’ll take Catherine Zeta Jones every day.

Putting brilliant, iconic songwriters like Stompin Tom and Gordon Lightfoot in the same boat as Anne Murray and Rita MacNeil is almost blasphemous. Although neither of them are Leonard Cohen, they’re certainly far past the Murray and MacNeil part of the scale. I find it difficult to watch Rita Macneil on live specials cuz I’m always worried her heart’s going to explode when she hits a high note. Seriously…having had my own heart troubles in the past, I look at her and think ‘borrowed time’.

I like how Joshua Jackson from Dawson’s Creek made the “More Canadian Actors” list and not the “Well Known Canadian Actors” list :)
Ive heard
Josh Jackson is an asshole.

Yeah I wrote that on here a couple months ago last time we were talking about it. One of my cousin’s best friends got in a fistfight with him like 10-12 years ago. Was it me you heard it from?

Probably
you. Why did your cousin’s friend get into a fight with him?

Its funny you mention
the Arcade Fire, because I was just about to ask Beantown if he’s heard of Tokyo Police Club.
So, Beantown, HAVE you heard of TPC?
Their newest album is fantastic, possibly the best one Ive heard all year. From start to finish, there wasn’t a song I didn’t love.
Hell, even their first album is hot fire.
Now those are some good Canadian kids.

Saw them last weekend at Lalapalooza
I’m wayyy to old for such things, but it was worth the hassle. They put on a hell of a show, the crowd went nuts and sang along for most the set (meaning they were mosty fans). Not overhyped in the least, like too many indy faves these days.
Flames sign Craig Conroy to a 1-year deal. Don’t laugh Chuckles. No, stop it. I’ll sick my pet snake on you!!!

I'd love
to have Theo circa ‘89 on our team. Hell, even Theo now can’t be worse than Hordi and Demo. Wonder why they didn’t just sign Theo and let Conroy go, maybe Theo couldn’t take a full 82 game schedule, too hard on the 42 year old body?

He can be funny.
I liked when he went on SNL after Andy Samberg had been parodying him for a long time.
