Because nobody else has started it yet.
Here you can talk about anything you want, but please, try to refrain from fawning over Joe Pavelski too much. I know it's tempting, but you can do that in the gameday threads. But Joe Pavelski is still the most awesome person on the planet.
Oh, and for you fellow Wii owners who are Mario fans...
SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 COMING OUT MAY 23 WOO!
I have ran out of things to say, so post away! (oh hey that rhymed)
To all the people out there who go to school-It's almost summer. We can make it.
Also, the series preview thread is apparentlly a better OT thread. Plank weeps.

Anyone ever been to Fiji?
My Australia trip is looking like it will be just three places = Sydney, Cairns (and the Great Barrier Reef), and Fiji (which is obviously not Australia). I’m going to get certified to scuba dive in Cairns, and Fiji has some amazing diving as well.
I was going to add in Ayers Rock, but the airfare is (no joke!) EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS from Sydney. To see a big f***ing rock. Thanks but no thanks. By comparison, it’s only 300 roundtrip to Fiji. Oh, and check out this hostel. About the best damn vista you could ask for.
I’m working on squeezing in a trip to Kakadu National Park, but that just might have to wait for a second visit Down Under.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions about the trip… now if only the Sharks can [do something really important that would be a jinx to say outright] by June 10, I’ll be in business. Otherwise I’ll have to find a Canadian ex-pat bar in Oz. GO SHARKS.

How silly of me – I normally call it Uluru, but I think I said Ayers Rock because the airport is still called that.

Scuba diving is fun. Haven’t done it in a while tho, but always enjoyed it. I got certified 6 wks after my caesarean with my oldest. The doctors advise to rest up and heal did not sink in with me. :)

I really want to – but it’s going to be winter down there, and I only have 3 weeks. I’m thinking of making a separate trip (assuming I like it) to Australia in a couple of years – then I’ll tackle everything I missed (er, many things I missed).

Well
May’s going to be huge for me. Not just for Galaxy 2, as IBWT noted, but…
This Saturday, I finally am moving out of my dad’s place and out on my own for the first time. Going to move into a house with a couple friends from high school. So damn excited for this.

no more slnc :(
here’s hoping they allocate resources for it next year so it can be a permanent thing ..
maybe if enough of us comment on randy’s fb post about it, they’ll at least consider it?
i dunno. meh. i’m sad :\
Me too.
I really did enjoy it and I think enough of the fans did that they should try to continue it.

and undoubtedly more to come as everyone comes on fb to check for slnc ! crazy csn people think we’re going to be so glad to not have versus announcers that they can just get rid of slnc .. pssh.
in all seriousness, though.. i have to wonder what the real reason was.. i don’t imagine brodie with a handheld in randy’s hotel room was a huge resource suck so it must’ve been something else.

"Real reason"
Revenue participation. Simply put, there’s no marketing dollars in it directly. They don’t seem to understand the power of word-of-mouth marketing, the fanbase draw that this creates, and the “brand management” aspect — or, they understand brand management too well, and think that this somehow cast a negative light on their property (read: broadcasters).
Wouldn’t want those boys having success that doesn’t directly equal advertising dollars, after all.

which is just weird, because i have been telling everyone about slnc .. all my sharks fan friends, all my hockey fan friends in other areas to brag about why our broadcasters are better, all my coworkers who don’t even like hockey. and i know i’m not the only one.
maybe we can get barracuda to sponsor it and randy can wear a blue barracuda network penis tshirt while he talks or something. they do seem to like to spend money on the team so why not? :)
yes!
barracuda network logo = blue penis
barracuda network logo on a shirt = penis tshirt
like the back of the orange get loud shirts!
i find it terribly bizarre, to be honest.
I always point out the Barracuda penis logo to newcomers to the arena – it’s a great icebreaker (no pun intended).

Unless it was intentional.

and now every time i look at the ogc logo i see the guy. haha good thing i’m in americaland and won’t see it much (ever?) here.
i just have to wonder if the guy/girl who made the penalty kill graphic at hp got a kick out of making a bouncing/circling blue penis graphic. it’s sort of like the guy who got to cgi the one in watchmen .. and then there’s “mom, look what i made!”
hurray commenting on my own post
someone made a bring back slnc facebook group if yall want to check it out. because really, what is facebook for, if not to join together in groups protesting stuff? ;)
I also made

to replace my phone. Back in November I got sick of my phone’s battery running out by the end of a day, so I got an LG Xenon. Now, AT&T’s selling the Nexus One and I wish I had waited a few months so I could get a discount on the Nexus and not have to pay the ridiculous price for it.

Music question
Is anyone else a fan of The National? I’m really looking forward to their new album that comes out next week – they’re playing the Fox Theatre in Oakland at the end of the month (2 shows – got tickets to the May 27th show if anyone wants to carpool).
If you haven’t heard of them, hit up YouTube and search for “Mistaken for Strangers” and “Fake Empire” from their last album, or “Secret Meeting” and “Mr. November” from the album before that.
One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen.

Jason Campbell was a surprisingly shrewd pickup by them, though. They could contend soon enough if they keep being smart.

but does he have anyone to throw to?
i feel like someone else is going to pick up jamarcus and be like “well he didn’t have any offense in oak so maybe if he has good receivers, he would be better”.. wes welker and randy moss can make anyone look like a great qb.
We don’t have established wide receivers, but we have three of them on the rise. Chaz Schilens, after injury, came on strong and Louis Murphy is very talented who plays hard every week. Darrius Heyward-Bey is definitely a work in progress, but he should come around.

They’ve had some bad picks early before. The 2006 draft comes to mind. They picked Donte Whitner and John McCargo in the first round. Neither of those guys are starting. In 2008, they picked Leodis McKelvin in the first round. The jury is still out on him. They took Aaron Maybin in 2009 and he had 18 tackles and no sacks last year.

i think/hope so too but
i also dont think fox is planning on starting him this year.. wants to give matt moore a try. he did look pretty good at the end of the season once they finally stopped trying to force the delhomme experiment to work. poor jakie.
and i think we still have one of the mccowns? ill have to check.
i’m really much much much more worried about our d, since we had almost none before the draft and drafted a bunch of offensive guys and wrs. we haven’t had much luck with wrs since steve smith. sigh.
at least we’ll be better than tampa :D
I didn’t feel sorry for them. I just laughed at Al Davis’s insistance that he play, and that he could be a star. Dude was terrible. I laughed when they made that pick! Man, oh man.
More like I felt sorry for his teammates who had to pretend that he was their leader and they were powerless to help it. No pity for Al Davis whatsoever though.
I’m interested to see how Campbell responds in a new environment. He’s intriguing, but largely unsuccessful for the past few seasons. Being traded from one inept franchise to another, I don’t know how he’ll play out in Oakland, but still light years ahead of Russell for sure.

Just read in the local newspaper that a woman from Japan, Eri Yoshida, signed up with the baseball team “The Chico Outlaws”. People are already making sexist remarks towards women and sports, and female fans. Sorry, that’s what’s on my mind right now. It angers me so much that females are mocked constantly. It also wanted me to once again thank everyone from FTF who puts up with me. Thank you guys and gals. It comforts me to know there are people who put up with my constant “they played awesome even though they lost” and random tangents.

I can do it in about 3 1/2, and I’m not super speedy, or super slow. It’s not that bad.

okay been eons since I bought an actual newspaper, but bought today’s paper so I can clip out the Sharks’ article and frame it. if we go as far as I know we can, plan on getting those papers to and putting it all in the same frame (yet to be bought) … need to find the paper after round 1 was completed tho to make this complete … :)

I was watching NHL Network and saw a "History Will Be Made" commercial today.
It had Franzen scoring one of his goals in Game 4 and said “What if the mule didn’t kick back?” Then I thought about the Sharks winning last night and laughed.

While on the topic of college...
As of 11:48 this morning, when I finished my last final, I have completely my freshman year of college! WOOOO!!
And as much as I’m looking forward to having a kitchen and a living room in my apartment next year, I’m going to miss living in the dorms. So much free food, so little time.

So I won some contest on the Sharks facebook page.
Won two of the (might be one) t-shirts they gave out at Game 5. They asked which member of the organization never played for the team but has a bobblehead, and I was the first to answer Tom Holy and I got it right! I have no idea how they are going to get them to me, they just said I won them.

Hm
Makes sense, actually, considering the amount lost on post-retail sales (used games, yard sales) and pirating. I’m also not surprised to see EA being the first to do this; I expect others will follow suit.
That said, I don’t really care. I don’t play online — ever. My sole defense against MMORPGs and the like, in fact, is that they’re online-only and thus hold absolutely no appeal. I just don’t care to “connect” with the so-called “gamer community” because, frankly, most of them (myself included) are assholes I wouldn’t want to play games with in the first place.
Yeah, that’s right; if I met myself in an online lobby, I am confident I’d hate me.

Heroes officially got cancelled.
The show had gone downhill since its awesome start, but it was back on the upswing. It’s a real bummer since I really liked it, even at its low points. Hopefully they still find a way to properly end the show.
