Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Has xshub written to the SU administration?
how about some fall-out for the EGGSHELL CAPTAIN, constantly vaunted as the best player in the universe? if it was the caps, OVIE would be constantly derided by the media. Anyone riding Sid’s ass up there over his failure to produce?
Your captain has been downright hissy. I hope the dirty plays are going to start getting called. His groin pokes and cross checks are blatant now.
Why is she averse?
well he said that i should not just tweet it out to the intarwebs but to put the school’s graduation hashtag with it, so that it would come to their attention. He will make his views known.
because she loathes the penguins with every fiber of her being!
One of my superintendents went off on a nasty screed on our Scotish laborer who did a not-quite perfect screed job on a concrete slab, causing the Scot to go off on an after-work screed.
As Staal repeatedly attempts to take his head off? Yeah, let’s hope that penalties are going to be called, but you know that isn’t going to happen.
Sure was nice to see them lose last night. :)
I’m no rangers fan, I just want the points for my NHL bracket, and I want them bruised and battered when the Bruins kick their butts.
whole lotta screed-ing goin’ on up there! LOL! A++++
Obama’s getting screwed by his screed
As he spoke with intent to mislead
“If you like your plan
Then you keep your plan”
In November, we’ll remember his deed
Crosby has generated a lot of offense, so it’s not like it was last week where he was no where to be seen.
In the past two games, I think it’s been more Lundqvist taking a lot of heat from the Pens in the 2nd period, and then late in the period the Rangers score and give themselves some breathing room.
If the Penguins convert one of the shorthanded opportunities last night we have a tie game. We also had Crosby set up Kunitz and he fanned on the shot.
If those go in, it’s a different game.
A+++ but he’s focusing on the kidnapped Nigerian girls now. didn’t you see the sad Moochelle face with the #? RM#E
We were in the car driving back last night during the pregame and they spoke to Ray Borque? is that his name? he’s a pens announcer, former player. He criticized Sid, said he needed to be better.
i was glad for the Hobbit to get the first goal for the Rangers, bc it was Mothers day and his mom had just died. i think everyone wanted the Rangers to win last night for that reason. Well, maybe not Pens fans....
Focusing? By posting on Twitter?
that’s where he does his best focusing...well, there and the golf course.
Phil Borque.
I was under the impression we gave St. Louis Friday’s game for his mother.
well that too, but yesterday was Mothers day and so....
Well, yes, but it did lead to a funny tweet after the first openly gay man was drafted in the NFL:
Still searching for first openly straight Subaru owner.
