FTB - The Duality of Tanking

by Chemmy on Jan 12, 2009 9:07 AM EST Comment 20 comments

You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?

Can we, as Leafs fans, cheer for the fruits of a crappy season (Tavares, Cowen, Hedman, etc) even as we hope to see our team succeed every night?

Steve @ Hockeyanalysis got me started with his article about the future.
Torontosportsmedia has a review of Toronto sports radio.
Garrett Bauman has his thoughts on the Leafs at the half.
Steve @ Hockeyanalysis wants you to know that Kulemin is back. He did not re-enter the Leafs locker room by bursting through a brick wall and yelling "Oh yeah".
eyebleaf is playing NHL94.
wrap around curl has begun video blogging about crappy movies.
loser domi has a new Maple Leafs chat up.
Ninja wrote about the rebuild. Good to see him posting.

I also

got tickets to Sundin’s return. I’m paying out the ass, but it has got to be done.

I must say

Ottawa is trying awful hard to one-up in the losing department.

Speaking of losing

I want to rant about how I’m at the office and don’t want to be here at all.

Oh yes

Have you visited the Deathclaw Sanctuary? I lasted a total of like 5 minutes before i got swarmed with like 4 of them. Takes me like 4 headshots even with the Lincoln Repeater to take one down.

Is a total pain… this is getting off-topic, we should move this convo to chatty cathy but a quick suggestion, use rifles against Deathclaws at range, shotguns are effective only at close range and you’re pretty much dead if you let them get close enough to use your shotgun.

Disputed.

You know I was surfing your site last weekend because I’m quite taken by it, and that photo — that one I had to share with the Mrs. Well played!

Oops

FAIL on my reply; I guess somebody has a case of the Mondays.

See this comment for my intended reply.

Heh, no problem, message received. I notice in my comment I meant to say I shared the photo with “the missus,” but it looks like I know someone named “Mrs. Well.”

Now about those TPS reports…

Thanks for the kind words, Dominik! Glad to hear you like the site.

I actually found that photo while cleaning out one of the myriad cluttered email inboxes I own, and just couldn’t delete it. I was sitting there chortling about it for about twenty minutes when the idea lightbulb slowly fizzled on above my head and I went into posting mode.
