Yo, yo, yo. Yo.
Greetings all - its been a long, long time. What the hell's goin' on? I leave for a few months sabbatical, and I come back to see YET ANOTHER pro league "fantasy" come and go (this one in record time - not even 2 months!), and my buddy Rich takes a day trip into Snapsville and goes postal on the collective of industry sleaze-balls (good call, by the way - these %$#^ing @$#hole, hockey-haircutted, got-the-job-"'cuz-I-got-drafted-to-The-Show-doncha-know," barely literate, marketing-ignorant dolts s have deserved it for a long time now). Anyway, I feel an explanation for my absence is in order...
Top 10 Reasons I've been gone so long...
10. Napster
9. BGW Syndrome (Bad Grammar Withdrawal).
8. Workin' on my own site - www.RollerHockey.TO - (sorry, shameless plug).
7. Helping an undisclosed skate manufacturer complete a market impact study, in which we predict that if they bring back fat neon laces, skate sales will increase by 13%. Word up.
6. I wanted to see if you guys would be talking about anything different 6 months later. Guess what...
5. I've been far too distracted with the looming Eric Lindros Toronto trade ("No, no, NO, " the Toronto media whines, "don't give 'em Andropov! He's scored 5 goals already this season, and it's only February!!! And Kaberle's +/- is a stellar -14! We CAN'T give these two up!") Morons.
4. I became confused and disenchanted with the new message board format. (I'm slow to change folks - hell, I don't even own a pair of Hi-Lo's yet).
3. I accidentally clicked on some Asian Porn site and have spent the last 7 months closing pop-up windows.
2. I wanted to see if you'd miss me.
and the number 1...
1. I've only recently recovered from the effects of drinking a Roller Hockey Martini (Try one - they're awesome! Mix 1 part frustration, 2 parts resignation, a dash of apathy, and a squeeze of fatigue. Garnish with lime and serve piss-warm in a tin coffee can). NOTE - I'm now on the wagon, and here to help Rich (you look like you could use a sponsor). If you're interested in following the 12-step program with me, lemme know RG!
