DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

THE PUCK STOPS HERE

So, i ran into a pal of mine today and he was a bit depressed cause Hockey
season appears to be f---ed for the season.  Seems the bosses and the players
are disagreeing (again) on how to split the hundreds of millions on dosh.  This
happens in all the major sports here in the USA an, well, a strike happens and
it turns into a big mess.  But see, the Economy aint doing so well so these
hockey guys may find that the WORKERS at the venue, Joe and Ruth Regular, are
gonna be ass'd out of a job.  That's something to think about when you're a
hockey player kick in' back in your million dollar mansion tossing soundbites
off to ESPN like it's no big deal.

Now, i know some of my friends will say, "Mike, how come you didn't take that
position when Baseball, football and basketball went on strike?"  I'll tell ya
why, boys;  See, hockey doesnt have the TV ratings, nor does it generate the
kind of money those other sports do.  but, and this is a FUNNY but, they MAKE
10 TIME MORE MONEY on average.  (ok, i made that up.  but it FEELS like it...)
But i'm not really on top of it so i dont know.  I enjoy watching a good hockey
game.  i REALLY love English Premeire football and wish we had more of that (on
our cable network, we get about 20% of the games, but 2 days late) but we
don't.

So, that's really all i had to say.  I wanted to talk about Traci Gold and
Michael Jackson and Courtney Love (now THERE'S a piece of work...oh sh*t, i
heard she GOOGLES herself every 5 minutes so i better chill...)  but the best
thing tonight was catching back to back episodes of SEX AND THE CITY.  See
Samantha has this lover and he's, like, REALLY fab, ok?  But, the problem is,
when the NY Knicks LOSE he can't make love.  but when they WIN, dang, watch
out.  So Samantha is totally rooting for the sorry-ass Knicks (who ALWAYS LOSE)
in hopes that her boy will be in an exceptional mood.  And that brings me to my
next topic; men and sports  (or should i say, MEN AND MOTORS? wink, nudge,
England)

See ladies, when a man's team wins, he is the best at everything.  HE MADE that
team win.  His dedication, his rooting, his cheering, his swaying, his
emotions.  You'd think his team were giving birth!  But when they suffer a
loss, he suffers it as well.  he mopes, he snaps, he sulks. Yep, he's just a
big old baby.  he won't feel better until he goes out and gets pissed with his
mates and they all agree their team got cheated.  That's called love.  And that
aint bad...
