Operation Garage-Reclaim

Subject: Operation Garage-Reclaim

Details:  On Friday Dumpster Depot will be dropping off a dumpster in our driveway, in front of our garage.

Mission:  Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to take all of the crap in the garage that needs to be disposed of and move it into the dumpster, thus throwing it into the garbage where it belongs and allowing us to use that very large space attached to our house that currently cannot be used for anything.

Questions:  Is there anything in the garage that cannot be thrown away.  Two items come to mind.  One is a smallish kitchen appliance (I’m guessing it’s okay) and the other includes a small internal combustion engine (I’m guessing it’s not okay).

Caution:  This message will self destruct.

Bruins Suck Update

Ottawa lost to Montreal in a shoot out last night which means the Bruins lead in the Northeast division is down to one measly point.

One point. They play in Florida tonight against the Southeast division leading Panthers. Ottawa’s next game is tomorrow night against Montreal again. The Canadiens suck so bad this year that we can not expect them to win again. The Bruins need to get their collective shit together today or the drop in the standings will feel like an elevator free falling down from the top of the Prudential building.

This collapse is starting to feel Red Soxian in nature.

Did You Catch the Bruins Game Last Night

So, did you catch the Bruins game last night?

Neither did the Bruins.

That was the worst performance I’ve ever seen. The game was virtually over before the five minute mark when Tampa Bay scored their third goal. We learned definitively why Marty Turco has not been in the NHL for over a year.

I’ve never seen a team suck like that, and I used to go to 50 or so minor league games a year when it was not unusual for teams to just not try every now and then (usually on Sundays at the end of a three game weekend).

What’s worse? They have now legitimately sucked for three straight games. When Ottawa catches them in the standings this week they will drop from second in the Conference all the way to seventh, and they deserve it. At this point they don’t deserve to make the play offs. Teams that suck this bad have no place in the post season, and there is no reason for anyone to believe they will ever turn things around.

Bruins Fear

Okay, Bruins.  You can stop teasing us now.  McQuiad, Pouliot, and now Bergeron?  All day to day with injuries?

Oh crap!  A Bergeron-less Bruins team?  There’s no hope!  If he’s going to be out for a while, we are screwed.

I’m Scared!
Go Bruins!
I’m Scared!

I Hate Mondays

I do so hate Mondays.

Over the weekend we watched the first Tim Burton Batman movie.  It did the job of sparking some interest in both kids, but The Joker creeped my step son out in a big way so we’re going to hold off on more Batman movies.

The Bruins played twice this weekend.  Both were afternoon games.  Both were suck losses.  One to Washington and one to Pittsburgh.  They just aren’t that good this year.  They had that glorious two months where they were unbeatable, but now that stretch really looks like an aberration, and the current mediocre crap team seems like their true identity.  It sucks, but that’s who and what they are.  I hope it changes by playoff time, but I don’t see how.

Much to my surprise, when I weighed myself this morning I was actually down from my last check.  That’s a nice way to start a Monday.  I wasn’t down much, but after the weak couple of weeks I’ve had I was sure I’d be up.  I have been successful in my attempts to not drink hi-test coca~cola, but I have still been hitting the diet soda, and I have not been able to stop caffeine.  I know I can do better, but I am happy that I haven’t done any damage yet.
