Well right back to it tomorrow night *puts ear to the ice* ....BUFFALO !!!! *start of sig file begins here....for the technolgically impaired :)* ********************************************* oh yeah....my homepage....live it...love it....KNOW IT !!!! http://www.geocities.com/crasher21 to see Julie's less than stable recaps :) http://www.angelfire.com/nj2/hockeywitch/index.html this is the beginning of my sig file....these are just quotes I have picked up over the years and find them fitting...and most of you don't read THIS far anyway :)...and for the most the quotes below have been here so long that I prolly don't even REMEMBER what's here !!!!! "I'm blind, I'm deaf, and I wanna be an NHL ref"--Julie: 5/4/2000 "I hope jay is on this list and reads all your nasty comments. then, when he wins the conn smythe trophy, he can say "fuck that scott guy" -- the world's ONLY non-related Jay Pandolfo fan :) "For Kevin Dean (who couldn't cut it on 2 different teams this season) to be on our first pairing of defensemen is pretty scary. While it's nice that he got a goal, I can't help but be reminded that even a blind squirrel finds an acorn" -- Rob, Chi BlackHawks email list 2/14/2000 There is a line that many comedians use: "If you didn't offend someone, you weren't funny" (I LIVE by this phrase !!) Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap the motherfucker upside the head...pass it on..... Avalanche coach Bob Hartley said he received a "love you" e-mail. "I opened up my e-mail (Friday) morning and I got one of those 'I love you' notes," Hartley said. "I opened it and I was very disappointed. I thought it was from Scotty (Bowman)." "I save money. I clip coupons. AND I AM A HETEROSEXUAL MALE!" ~David Ross Johnson, as the guest of honor at a Cale Hulse fan club meeting :)
