Crap Throwing Monkey

bull sh--. No one's that stupid.

Greatest line from the AP recap:

Hockey over the internet. When the insects at TSN aren't !@#$ing it up.

But I've got two different feeds over the internet for Colorado-Dallas. Stupid !@#$ing monkey producer ass holes. They give crap throwing monkeys like me a bad name...

Hopefully they won't be showing it on TSN...they'll preempt it for bass fishing or something...

So let's see if I have this straight: There's two games on right now, Sabres-Flyers, and Rangers-Devils. TSN was showing Sabres-Flyers, as was Center Ice, OLN was showing Rangers-Devils. Now everyone is just showing the OLN Rangers-Devils feed. Three channels. Two games. Only one being televised. What is this, !@#$ing amateur night in the production booth? You've got three channels and two games. Do the !@#$ing math, you geniuses!!!

And now I'm watching friggin' Jersey again...what the !@#$???

Has anyone seen VABills recently?

I have it on now...I didn't for Eager's penalty, because they cut to the friggin' Devils-Rangers and I shut it down.

The line says Eager got a minor for interference and a game misconduct. I missed it...what'd he do to earn that?

GOD DAMN IT! If the Flyers come back, I'm going to kill someone...

Somebody please explain to me why that hit on Vanek got Gauthier a 5-minute major and game misconduct. It didn't look nearly that bad to me...what'd I miss?

Are you kidding? Happens all the time on PPP.

DOOOOOOOOMED! Nah...just a pity goal. Flyers need it...

Just showed Campbell's hit on Umberger, and said "Campbell will always remember his playoff debut..." I was just waiting for them to say "Umberger sure won't..."

What the !@#$ is a "linky"?

I'll give you credit, Steve...you may be an ass, but you at least don't pretend not to be. That seems a pretty innocuous post by you, too. Philly fans are awfully touchy...it's not like you made a crass Umberger reference...

I don't want to turn this into a hockey thread...but that was pretty funny, seeing Esche skate out to center ice for no readily apparent reason. Video feed, btw, is http://www.comcast.net/sports/nhl/GenToken...tvXk-bA-myDonBG, for Windows Media Player. Yeah, I know Media Player sucks. It's not my feed, I'm just posting the link.

Esche has five saves on ten shots. Is he just having an off night? Or is his defense that bad tonight? Or both?

All I've got is the internet broadcast. Sounds like I'm missing all the best lines...

Flyers are getting beat like Umberger at center ice... Wife just asked me "Is the game going to be over in time for 24?" Uh...yeah, honey, it's pretty much over now...

Philly's goaltender was picked over Miller for the US Olympic team. I think they might be mocking him...

That is something I can't speak intelligently to...but my gut reaction is to doubt it, simpley because "consolidation" in any industry is typically done to achieve economies of scale and increase net production. It may be, in this case, that the oil industry has achieved precisely the opposite...but I want hard proof of it - the actual maintenance schedules, for example, would be a good start. - as an aside, let me just interject and say that this penalty killing by the Sabres is the best I've ever seen. Holy sh--... - And I suspect (again, gut feeling) maintenance is a red herring: why on earth would a company take an asset and intentionally make it non-performing with the intent to increase profits and revenue? Something tells me oil doesn't work that way: maintaining a razor-thin margin between supply and demand in a volume business is a good way to get your face ripped off by unexpected events. It would constitute manipulation, IF 1) the rumors of screwy maintenance schedules are true 2) the intent behind them is malicious. THAT is a very specious assumption; I've heard plenty of rumors, too, about oil companies intentionally not using their entire refinery capacity. Every time I've dug deeper into those rumors, they've reduced to the same thing: refinery capacity is either being reconfigured to use an ethanol summer blend rather than MTBE, or refinery capacity is sitting idle because they can't get ethanol fast enough.

Yeah, I know those !@#$s. One of 'em told me the driver's last words were "Get your hands off me, you damned dirty ape!" Chimps can actually get pretty violent - chimpanzee attacks aren't unheard of, although for a pack of them to attack a group of people is unusual. Baboons are the worst, though...not just aggressive, but malevolent. They've been witnessed catching live birds and plucking off all the feathers, just for kicks.

This subject is getting perilously to crying out for Newbie and a clown analogy...
