NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – A WHOLE NOTHER PHASE TWENTY-ONE!

[BernieParent]

"For our Team Retro Clothing Item, the owners of the Tampa Bay FireSticks are pleased to select a clothing accessory that is at the same time dashing and mysterious. We choose the top hat.

"Top hats were worn by rich and successful men.

"But also by villains ...

"And for magicians it is part of the act ...

"And what better celebration of the top hat than a movie featuring the ultimate dance pair of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers:



"They also go well with music icons

"Now well adorned with this timeless headwear, we will tip our top hat to @ajgoal."

 

[ajgoal]

"You sure got a talent for...complicating the obvious."

This quote from [LIVERWURST] could certainly be used to describe our cartoonist. You might not immediately recognize him as a cartoonist, but he was, and he fits what passes for #Lore with our organization to a "T."

However, we're extremely interested in his ability to turn simple objects into something more complex. Many would argue that they're more complex than necessary, but we won't quibble. They're obviously useful.

He was also the inspiration for one of our favorite board games, [RANCH].

Team Cartoonist: Rube Goldberg

Now he can design something with fifteen steps so I can feed the dog a cookie to trigger the machine to tag @Magua the next time around.

Believe it or not, he was taken - in this phase - by Defect II.

I'm so tired. F****

 

[BiggE]

My make up pick will be made tomorrow. Today was the anniversary of my dad’s passing so it’s been a rough week for me between that and his birthday last week.

I know that I’ve been posting mindlessly in other places but haven’t been able to put thought into making a pick.

Sorry bud

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I have started hugging the two old chickens when they go to bed at night. Don't judge me.

After ajgoal makes up that pick, we will start the day with @Magua on the clock, @BigToe on deck, @BiggE on the lido deck, and Asnito McConkey IV on the lido afterdeck.

I'm disappointed that more of you didn't sign up for the WJC draft. You are ignoring ABD principles - Always Be Drafting. This is the framework upon which we have built our lives. You don't abandon that just because, quote, "I know dick about the draft," or, quote, "I just had a child, I'm too busy," or, quote, "I just got tickets for 'Cocaine Bear.'" Come on, man.

Anyway, I still haven't seen Meth Bear. I had a feeling I was going to see him this morning - conditions are ripe for a bear sighting and/or attack. The truth is, though, that if I keep typing on this keyboard I am going to end up smashing the tits out of this laptop.

Have a nice day.

 

[ajgoal]

We'll stick with the G's. Wildly successful TV cartoonist Matt Groening.

EDIT: Unless the pick of the Grandpa Simpson gif invalidates this. If so, skip me and I'll come back to this later.

No, you are fine with that. I can't believe no one has picked "The Simpsons" - I don't like it, but I know a lot of people do.

 

[ajgoal]

Honestly? "Futurama" was the one I thought more likely for some reason.

 

[Striiker]

I hate Futurama

I hate snow

I hate “birds”

I hate sports

Are you trying to reach his lordship tier?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Yeah, I don't think either of them are funny at all, and they are terrible to look at, so there's nothing there for me. I understand a lot of people feel differently, so I don't talk about it much and just let them enjoy it.

 

[Striiker]

Fight me

Denny's. 2:17am.

You better show up

I’ll buy us pancakes afterwards

Sorry, scramble of a day, including an unplanned vet appointment. My dog must've scratched her eyeball by accident. She was squinting, in discomfort, and it looked irritated. It's just superficial and should be fine in a few days, thankfully.

The Honolulu Ghibli give a spicy welcome to our Team Talk Show Host: Sean Evans

The Giblets already have the best and zaniest talk show host, Craig Ferguson, pulling duties as Team Cheerleader. So, we're going to pluck our selection from a little YouTube show called Hot Ones. The wings are an ingenious stunt in celebrity schadenfreude -- as the kids say, that jawn go viral -- but the true brilliance of the show is Sean Evans. He's a fantastically well-researched interviewer, and quick on his feet, who can be surprisingly probing with his questions. Not an episode goes by where the guest doesn't laugh at a crazy deep cut or praise him for a nuanced question. But he also has an affable demeanor; he's a 99th percentile human being at making the person across from him feel supremely comfortable. Note: he does not have to eat hot wings like Spicy Sisyphus, if he so chooses.

@BigToe -- you ever smear hot sauce on your toe and have someone lick it?

I love how often the people you think would be badasses are the weakest.

Not Charlize Theron though. She tanked the whole thing and nobody was surprised.

The Final Dab or whatever is an amazing hot sauce. You just have to put it in a chili or soup to get to the flavor. Without that you can't taste anything. Makes my mouth go immediately numb in self-defense.

It's almost always the women who take no prisoners.

I’ll lick your toe right now.



@BiggE get sturdy

"Ancient Sweden" is not a civilization, Toe! It's a gross oversimplification of your adopted country's history. There are kingdoms and tribes to choose from. Do some research, good grief.

Let's call it the Vikings, Toe. Unless you want to choose the Sami of the reindeer country to the north.
