Hey all! I've added some mini-polls for you to enjoy! They should be located next to links from time to time! Check 'em out!!!

Brushes with celebrities!!!

I PISSED OFF RICK NASH!
It's a true story. I manage a store at a big,local mall. Most days are your average degredation that comes along with being the manager of a retail establishment. Then some days are the kinda thing that dreams are made of. If you're a hockey fan.
A lot of hockey players come to easton town center and in the year and a half that I've worked there I've met Sergei Zubov,Mike Modano,Dan Fritsche,Jody Shelley,Chris Chelios,Adam Graves,Brian Leetch,Marc Denis,Tyler Wright...to name a few. This past monday I met two ore blue jackets in a period of 10 minutes.
This tall,goofy guy walks in with some random,blonde,big-boobed bimbo and I greet them,"how's it goin'?" I go on w/ my work as we were very busy. As the guy walked around the back of the store and came up on me (walking back towards the front of the store) I recognized him.
"Rick Nash?"
He took a long look at me and reluctantly replied,"Yeahhhhhh." What? He was afraid he was going to be mobbed?
"When you coming back and playing?"
"I don't know. Couple of weeks. Hopefully."
"Looks like you're getting around ok." He shot me a pissy look.
"Yuh...well...walkin'...skatin'...two different things."
We just nodded at each other. He leaned over and whispered something to the bimbo.
As he continued to walk through my store I followed behind him and moved racks away from him (as if I didn't want him to run into them or touch them). I think it confused him b/c he didn't know if I was actually WORKING or doing it to be a smart-ass. Lol.
As he was leaving I put my arm out (like,"whoa!") and pointed to the corner edge of the door and said,"hey! alright! be careful,rick! alright?"
He was not amused. At all.
Lol.
(From a friend of mine!) There is nothing more gratifying than bizarre brushes with celebrities. I was drunk making obscene hand gestures towards the butt of this cute blonde at last years frozen four, when I turned to see Jody Shelley staring at me. He just smiled at me and went over to the girl and put his arm around her.Oops! Fun stuff.

Merry beardmas!

"HARK",THE HAIR-LIPPED ANGEL SINGS!

TO TRIM OR NOT TO TRIM?

To trim or not to trim? That is the question. On a recent visit to WalMart I couldn't believe the amount of beard products being thrown at men these days! Trimmers,brush-in colors,etcetera adorned every other aisle cap in the hillbilly haven for cost cuttin' action and all the nascar and hunting supplies you can shake a stick at! I've noticed a growing popularity in facial hair farming and this proves it! It seems as if every guy and his brother is growing a beard! How did this happen?! Who got the ball rolling?! George Clooney?! Jake Gyllenhaal?! Saddam Hussein?! Is this some sort of sick fad for pathetic-assed losers who've grown tired of "hittin' the mall" hoping to score some sweet rags at Hollister before the big kegger?! I don't know how but suddenly I have found myself deep in the middle of "BEARD RUSH 2005!!!". Yelena has been hinting to "tame the chin bush". To my chagrin I must admit that the thought of how popular they are becoming really has got me thinking of trimming down! But what IS selling out? Really. Going with the flow in the middle of the hype? Or trimming down or shaving just to not be a part of it? I made a promise,dammit! No goal,no shave. I intend to stick to it. Thoughts?

SEPARATED AT BIRTH? (update 12/15!)

Dillinger...with two L's. And Jimmy...with two M's. If they weren't on the same line at times it'd be downright odd. Feel free to discuss.

Y'ALL COME OUT NOW...Y'HEAR?!

Everyone needs to get off their ass and get down to the CORH rink tomorrow (12/15) night @ 7:35 to see the beard in action and the season final versus ROLL WID IT!!! I promise to be sporting my new coife as well. More details at:

SWEET RELIEF!

No more standing in line at Blue Jacket games waiting to pee! No more fighting the crowds,crying children,ducking between aimless wanderers and dodging stampeding concession stand goers. You can drink as much as you want,stay right in your seat and never miss a minute of the action! Enjoy!

UPDATE 12/12!

Oh,I'm a member alright! http://www.nationalbeardregistry.org/beards/beards.asp http://blissisnow.org/Beards/famous.asp

BEARD UPDATE 12/11!!!

Hey,they can't all be winners!

"MYSTERY?" I'LL ASK YA'.

We're not insinuating anything...but there's a lot of speculation going on. And did you ever notice that you never see Russell Crowe and Jim Stiers in the same place at the same time? Just creepy. This photo of Jim was snapped as he is enjoying his week off from AOD hockey by ice fishing in alaska.

SEPARATED AT BIRTH #2

O.k....this is gonna get a little weird now...

VYBORNY "CZECHS" IT OUT!!!

Apparently word spreads pretty fast around the Blue Jacket community. Hot off the heels of a Manny Malhotra cameo I was visited by none other than BJ's all-time points leader David Vyborny! He concurred that the beard sported by tough guy Jody Shelley (in it's bushy hey-day) paled in comparison to that of the pint-sized,feisty AOD center/winger Jim Stiers. At least,that's what we think he said. He sort of just muttered something in czech and ran off. But,hey...we'll TAKE it!

UPDATE 12/5!!! BONUS!!!

Mmmm. Beer. Mmmm...beard.

BETTER THAN SHELLEY'S!!!

You heard it right,y'all! And right from the horses mouth too! Word about the great Jim "#18 in your program,#1 in your heart" Stiers' hockey beard is spreading like wildfire and Columbus Blue Jackets forward Manny Malhotra had to stop by and check it out for himself!!! What did the bewildered grinder have to say about it? "It's better than Shelley's." Ohhhhh,yeahhhhhhh.
(Left:A pissed off Jody Shelley! Right:Me,the BEARD and my m'man Manny Malhotra!)
