You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

[you&me]

I was on my way home last night... no one around, straight road, bare pavement... And I come up on some loser humming along in the left lane... Doesn't move over - despite there being no one around and the essentially perfect road conditions - and then slows down, under the limit, like he's the ####ing protector of road safety or whatever #### he's deemed himself to be... And so, because of this dickish behaviour and self-importance, I catch a red light. RGMG.

Me and my (insert whatever unoffensive sub-compact piece of #### car) are stuck at this red light for a good 45 seconds because of this twit, when instead, he could have maintained his speed, or, better yet, not thought himself the supreme protector of speed limits, moved the #### out of the way and we both could've happily been on our way.

Shoulda given him the ol' @Sliver light flash. ####ing dork.

Edit - oh, we don't do that tagging thing here... I see...

What road are we talking here so we can fairly judge?

He’s pretty high end player IIRC. Love the nostalgic outlandish views of what hockey is.

Don't tell troutman that the rover position is gone.

The house next door is split into two suites and has six bins. They occasionally leave the lids on the bins open (to recycle snow I assume?), and the wind yesterday knocked some of them over.

They both park in the back and are in and out multiple times a day to their cars and to walk their dogs and they walk past the bins every time. I only imagine what the inside of the house is like if they can't tend to something that takes 3 seconds.

Do minors, beer leaguers or old timers really need composite sticks?

Just ribbing ya. But I could definitely use a composite back scratcher.

No, lol based on you it seems miserable. Tax season never ends apparently and the busiest day of the year still gives one enough time to post endlessly.

Why so mean?

Gulf of America Day?

Half off atrocious pizza and free skee-ball at every Chuck E Cheese's!

The following day will also have to be a Holiday....in honour of Plumbers! Ironically they'll be the only ones who cannot have it off.

Not everyone is terrible at hockey.

[Barnet Flame]

I am.

[Locke]

Also me. I almost slaughtered a small child one time.

He was really good but he made a nearly fatal mistake, he got between me and the boards because he was an excellent skater, but I need those boards in order to stop.

And if you're going to be between me and them...its going to be a bad time. For both of us.

That's why I wear pool noodles on my body when I skate.

I need a Michelin Man suit! Or one of those bubbles.

Pretty hard to find any other kind these days. But not everyone needs the top model.

Oh, that was a very poor attempt.

You were probably distracted by that loud "WHOOSH" noise as you finished reading it.
