You should try it out! It's not as big of a pain as baseball and it's not like football where 9 weeks in you know whether it's even worth it to pay attention anymore.
We were supposed to be paying attention to our fantasy teams? I thought the point was to goof off during the draft and then talk sports snark on football Sundays…
Meh, |here's some old stuff..| memorable quotes: “Chico was an innocent bystander; a nice reborn Christian guy and I took him to the dark side.” Also, “Looking back at it, it was kind of stupid.”
'Now a Philadelphia realtor' speaks for itself.
Holy shit! I actually remember that! Detroit is practically Canada as far as the airwaves are concerned, so I saw it on CBC. That's your cousin?
Yeppers. (That's where the halupki recipe came from– that side of the family if you're wondering..)
I'm tempted to ask you to mail me a taste, but the USPS isn't really suited for shipping food.
Sometime in the next few years, we should all actually get together in Wisconsin. We've been chatting eachother up for a long time, it's high time we schedule a Wonkville meetup.
Does it have to be Wisconsin?
You got something against Wisconsin?
doesn't everyone?
I mean, I wouldn't want to live there, at least as long as Walker is governor, but it does have some very lovely bits, and lots of good beer, cheese and sausage.
good beer, cheese and sausage=good
mosquitoes, snow, Walker, not so much
(plus that whole being a Bears fan thingy)
Beer and cheese: good.
Sausage: um, maybe if I didn't know how it was made…
More sausage for me!
As long as I get more beer it's all good.
Despite being a Wisco native, I actually don't like beer, so you can definitely have all of mine
Sweet!
WI is in the middle of all of us. Also too, Wisconsin is really pretty in the summer.
Sold!
Dammit, I wish you all were closer to Los Angeles: it would be fun to get together!
I will move into your closet if you're willing to accept under $650.
Sadly, your market analysis is pretty close to the mark. Two rent increases in two years with another one likely this year has me thinking "you know, there are parts of South Central LA that aren't so bad…"
/FFS
Do they still call him Boxcar?
Only to those in the know. (Nobody cares anymore).
It would be tempting to purposely get it wrong. "Hey, Caboose. No, wait, Trainthing? It's something."
"I got a wonderful thing, right here in quaint historic Strawberry Mansion!"
Accidental downfist. Sorry about that.
I probably warrant that most of the time..
Willie, to his friends
I enjoy the fantasy sports. It feels like actually doing something. In.
No, it's the one where I get insanely competetive and do spread sheets on excel at like, 4 in the morning. I will Fenwick and CORSI you motherfuckers into oblivion.
Phone call for Shel at 5:35am on a Tuesday in November: "Should I pick up Joel Ward? He's playing tonight, Thursday, Friday and Sunday and looking at rotowire, he's ready to pop."
You know the weirdest thing about that situation will be me saying, "Hang on, let me look at your spreadsheet and google a bit," like that's just a normal thing.
And then I'll email it to you and accompany it with a text on the color coding. Cuz that's not weird at all.
It's nothing without the color coding! That's how it all makes sense, plus it's pretty.
They still have the glow puck, right? The one for ladybrains?
It's like a blend of foosball and air hockey, only with actual people! It's like those living chess sets, only with a bunch of guys with mouthguards who stop and beat each other up because they get their period every 20 minutes. I think.
when the current storm has passed for Shy & Trix, I will re-suggest they do a subscription page for ad-free content. I think that'd help both ways.
He sent me a link but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. It's just a link to a wordpress thing and I tried logging in, but it didn't log me in to anything. Tried it at least a half dozen times.
It didn't work with your ID login?
ETA: Oh, wait, you got a new login from WordPress, right?
KevinKemp Vodka is at the tipping point of being too tired and drunk to give a rat's ass if KevinKemp Vodka is a mod or not. Seems like ya'll in blue are doing fine without me and Wonkville doesn't need another mod. I mean, almost all of us know eachother by name anyway. What is there to moderate?
Aw, but you'd look so good in blue. Maybe when you get some rest?
My boot caught on fire today. I literally looked down at my boot, saw that there was a grease fire in progress on my foot, and I let it burn itself out. Zero fucks were given today on the truck. Zero fucks will be given about a color either.
The boot, the boot, the boot is on fire! We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn!
God, your day sucked in every dimension, huh?
wow, there's a blast from the past
I'm convinced that it's time for both of them to bust Shy's ass and make him fix it
Seems like a good time to do it, he's probably drunk as hell from all that money they got for the server.
eggzactly, fuck up their party with work- same shit the rest of us have to put up with…
I sent him an email, but sheeet.. Baby, Server, Fuck, don't really wanna bust his balls about now.
Some Wonkville News: Cmdr Crazy Sauce Touching Down in Phx Aug. 11th!
Also: Fleener Will Be Sent Around September 6th!
WOOHOO! Love and FLEENER!
It's raining here right now.. Noice!
we have a tetch more moisture here than usual, but being I came back from Boston on Wed, it seems cool and dry, still.
No, it's the one where you go to a fight and a game breaks out.
Don't do/understand fantasy sportsball, but I fucking love Tie Domi!
You should try it out! It's not as big of a pain as baseball and it's not like football where 9 weeks in you know whether it's even worth it to pay attention anymore.
Thanks, but fuck Gary Bettman. 😉
We were supposed to be paying attention to our fantasy teams? I thought the point was to goof off during the draft and then talk sports snark on football Sundays…
That is how I do the baseball. I think that's still at thing, right? But, hell yeah, you can do that for football and hockey too, why not.
I'm a Lions fan. Repeat, I AM A LIONS FAN. This whole meaningless affair is a joke to me.
The Lions, teaching Detroit fans the futility of hope since 1934.
Chicago Cubs fans scoff at such a paltry drought.
I'm in.
Will you be picking your cousin the goon?
If he wasn't over 50, sure! (No, actually. I wouldn't pick him. He and his ilk serve a purpose, but they don't score any damn goals..)
I know your last name and I'm still drawing a blank on who you guys are talking about.

I enjoy the fantasy sports. It feels like actually doing something. In.
If we can't round up 10 to form the league, Team Gatorade Arctic BLAST might wind up being a fun side project for you.
Can you call it 'Gatorade Arctic Butt BLAST'? I'd like that.
That does sound like fun.
I'm in. I know even less about hockey than I do about football or beisbol.
It's easy. The hardest part is manipulating aquisitions to match up with the schedule, IF you even feel like doing that.
I have Wednesday off, so I'll do a write-up about it then. It's even easier to explain than football, so no one will be going in blind.
Also too, Go Red Wings
"Sorry- ignorance is a requirement for this job"
You in? Be in dude, be the hockey.
I’m not in. Thanks for the offer. I’m not going to jerk your chain.
I'm in, of course. It's the one with the puck thing, right?
No, it's the one where I get insanely competetive and do spread sheets on excel at like, 4 in the morning. I will Fenwick and CORSI you motherfuckers into oblivion.
Er, you guys should play, it'll be fun!
Oh! <clap clap> I love that! It's my favorite! Can't wait!

Now I know why there was so much blood on the ice..
Don't. That was 20 years ago and I still have a rage-boner for the glow puck.
You do not.
He really does. He should probably see a doctor.
(seriously) that's just wrong.
REEEEWWWRRRRREWRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The little battery in the glow puck prevented the puck from freezing, causing all sorts of bounces in the 96 playoffs that should not have happened.
"boink!" I believe I am the only person in Arizona to still have a Tkachuk jersey.
Funny thing about Keith Tkachuck, it would not surprise me at all if he was playing 4th line for the Arizona Coyotes.
|oouch..| but glow puck? C'mon.
The glow puck is a bees nest you don't want to piss on.
I'm pretty sure that there's NO bees nest that I would want to piss on…
There are people that *like* it? On a phone, sure– glow puck for mobile.
Rule 34.
BTW, Shy says you need to complete your moderator paperwork, also too
Really? okay. I didn't want to bug him.
just emailed you back

Can I pick the Hanson brothers?
The ones from the 90's who do that Mmmbop song? No. You cannot pick Hanson.
I'm taking Foggy from Daredevil. He was great as a youth player.
Count me in.
Also: dammit, Pens, please don't die an early death in the playoffs yet a-fucking-again…
/FFS
Hey, at least you got Western PA goin' for ya.. Everybody hates Philly!
Now THAT sounds like something I want to bet money on.
