NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – SUPER F***ING AMAZING PHASE TWENTY-FIVE!

[JojoTheWhale]

I tripled checked to be sure this selection was still available.

In the hockey world, there exists an evil so pure that it corrupts every conversation that crosses its domain. Everyone has a star level comp. Every Defenseman over 6’4” is Zdeno Chara. It’s that extremely unpleasant militant brand of USA! distilled into an entity whose true form resembles a red, white, and blue sparkler version of Cthugha, The Living Flame.

Every syllable of its first and last name is emphasized. Rather than simply inform you of its name, it screams every letter at you like it was attempting to banish itself from the Material Plane. Regrettably, it cannot be stopped. It will be broadcasting amateur hockey long after the Flyers end their 666 year Cup drought. It is the Star of Satan’s hockey forces.

Team PoHo (Spite): DAVE STARMAN

@Chuck Downie Look at his eyes and tell me he hasn’t spent thousands of years at the bottom of a lake. I dare you.

 

[Chuck Downie]

That guy ate someone’s soul.

Will select in the AM. In Baku, Azerbaijan

Ooooooooo

I have selective amnesia with Star Man. I do my damndest to forget he exists between January 6th and December 25th. Then, suddenly, I have a fortnight of typhoon rage.





.....Who were we talking about again?

More perfect #Lore picks from Chuckles

We start the day with @JojoTheWhale on the clock, @Beef Invictus on deck, @Striiker on the lido deck, and CanadianFlyer88 on the lido afterdeck.

I've told you many times that all photographers are scum, right? "Is She the Wolf?" has a prime sleazeball photographer right at the center of everything. Don't get me wrong - this isn't a good show. Total eye heroin from the girls, but the whole cast is either aspiring actors or musicians, plus the f***ing "shutterbug" c***, and it makes everything look and feel completely phony. Plus, these vapid ciphers are completely dead inside, and they miss episodes all over the place as they "have work," which is nonsense and f***s up the whole thing. But that f***ing photographer is an exacerbating c***.

Atoadaso.

I took the approach of treating the Century and Decade as a roundabout combination. We already have the science, quality of life, respect for life, and discipline of the 24th Century, so what we need now is the fun. As one writer put it in 1950. “Sodom was a church picnic and Gomorrah a convention of Girl Scouts (compared to Tangier).”

The time to be in Tangier was not the 60s or 70s when it was frequented by British rock bands and the Hippie tourist trails. Rather, we’re choosing 1950s Tangier, the era of writers like Paul Bowles and William Burroughs. Now through with the WWII spy hotbed period and the post-War International era, this was the time of Moroccan independence. But an International flavor still lingered. As Bowles himself explained it in 1958:

You will run into a Polish refugee who arrived ten years ago without a penny… and today runs a prosperous delicatessen and liquor store; an American construction worker who came to Morocco to help build the United States air bases, and has since become a freelance journalist; a Moslem who spent years in a Spanish jail for voicing his opinion on Generalissimo Franco, and now is a clerk in the municipal administration offices; an English masseuse who was passing thru Tangier twenty years ago on a holiday trip and somehow has never left; a Belgian architect who also runs the principal bookshop; a Swiss businessman who likes the climate and has started a restaurant and bar for his own amusement; an Indian prince who does accounting for an American firm; the Portuguese seamstress who makes your shirts. . .”

Wish you got this pick in yesterday!

Thank you Jojo! Encrypted Jojo! Algorithmic Jojo! Transmitted Jojo!

I select...Shit. I forgot to think of something. Hold on.


Ah! Yes. Spite President. Yes. This we shall do.

BRAD CORNELSEN

This guy is the living epitome (pronounced epitome) of micromanagement gone wrong in sports. Imagine this, if you will: you run a read option offense. You decide the thing to do with this option offense, is to tell the QB what his read will be, when you call the play. The QB is not allowed to actually make a read and has to do the thing he was told to do prior to even seeing the defense. He has no audible authority, either. The QB then goes out and looks like a complete fool nonstop. This is how you end up making Hendon Hooker look like a backup QB. This is the kind of sin that makes it difficult for QBs to adjust to pro football. This is the kind of sin that should prevent you from even running an offense again at any level.

Thank you, Beef, you deeply concerning lunatic.

This ones a no-brainer. Best pick of the draft.

Does that damned good puppy have a name?

Quick hit: team country/century - 21st Century Belgium.

Good beer, good food, centrally located with fun areas close by, diverse languages... fun football, though their window has pretty much shut.

Consuming this boozed up, caffeinated cola from the Fallout universe results in a significant boost in endurance, strength, and agility. Naturally the Plats will be filling our bench water bottles with this stuff.

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I never understand why people like guys like LeBron and Tiger Woods. Their personalities suck.

We start the day with @pit on the clock, @ajgoal on deck, @Asnito on the lido deck, and me on the lido afterdeck.

I don't actually care about LeBron, obviously - he was just on TV talking as I was starting this, and he irritated me. Because he's a huge phony weirdo. You know what else irritates me? That awesome football game in Germany between the Chiefs and Dolphins is on at the same time as the other European football this weekend. I am not happy about that.

I am happy about finishing "Is She the Wolf?" What a disappointment. Still, those girls. Holy f***.

Hello Bailey, Ozzy heartily approves this selection!

 

[pit]

I haven't put a ton of time into considering what I want in a neighbour and I don't want to hold things up, so here's one I may later use a re-pick on.

I live in an old house and there are always things that need to be addressed. Same with my neighbours. Unfortunately as it turns out, I'm the most handy of the lot of us and I only consider myself of medium competence at best. So I'm going to bring in a know-it-all to tell us how to do it properly (or do it properly for us). If nothing else, maybe he can lend me his tools when I need something specific that no one else bothers to buy.

Team Neighbour: Mike Holmes

@ajgoal pick it once, pick it right

 

[ajgoal]

I understand that the people here are really friendly. I imagine before tourism boomed worldwide and climate change started ramping up significantly, it was an even nicer place to be. It's just a shame we can't trim off maybe the last decade and a half or so.

Team country/century: French Polynesia, 20th Century

I know it's not technically a country.
