Welcome to The Flyers Board NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot, THANK YOU, HELLO PHASE TWENTY-SEVEN!

1714674011344.png



I am sure there is something extremely clever to say about this newest phase in the Quackverse, but why would I do that when THE HATEWATCHING EVENT OF THE CENTURY is unfolding before our very eyes? That’s right, Quacks, “Thank You, Goodnight – The Bon Jovi Story” is airing as we speak on Hulu.

Let me tell you something, friends – this f***ing thing is HOWLINGLY funny. Four straight hours of pure delusion and hilarity. Egos unjustifiably blown up like lead zeppelins (the horse-toothed c*** himself compared the Bon Jovi/Sambora pairing to, and I quote, “Lennon and McCartney, Simon and Garfunkle”) … (holy f***, I still can’t get over it). The “tragic” centerpiece of the f***ing thing is Jon having serious problems with his voice. At one point it cracks to f*** while he is warming up, and it’s like, you know it’s bad juju to laugh, but I can’t possibly see any way you couldn’t – it’s just so f***ing funny to have watched this dogshit goof trying to sing when he never could sing in the first place.

And then there’s the f***ing poodle-headed keyboardist, and Tico f***ing Torres, and Sambora’s dork ass. I just can’t do it justice. I dearly wish you could watch this through my eyes and my experience of having been there since the very first moment. To see this in the Year of Our Lord 2024 and be reminded of every nanosecond of disbelief at the stupidity of people enjoying this band is really something. There’s no accounting for moist ladies who fall for hairy shitbirds smiling nonstop, but there’s equally no possible way a sensible male person could like these f***ers unless they were deaf. It’s impossible. Watching these c***s celebrate themselves and believing the impossible happened (because it did) is really just the funniest f***ing thing ever. It’s like the Miracle on Ice in Hell.

Let’s go.


THE RATIONAL SHIT


  • Team Badwill Ambassador – Note: this is NOT a spite category. If your goodwill ambassador is there to help you maintain relations with other people, organizations, franchises, etc., your badwill ambassador is there to unravel relations or sabotage things. I don’t know why you’d want to do that, but there are reasons. Think of them amongst yourselves.

  • Team Candle/Essential Oil – this is the scent you want for your candles and diffusers. If you have never used a diffuser, you are missing out like a motherf***er. They rule. We already have a team scent, so don’t swipe someone’s team scent if their team scent comes from candles or diffusers, but otherwise there shouldn’t be any overlap.

  • Team Card Game – this can be any kind of card game. I haven’t really played games like “Magic the Gathering” (which is not a pick tip because everyone knows about it), but I know there are several that people like. It can be like that or like something else, but the game should revolve around a deck of cards. We aren’t going to be hardasses about this, so don’t be obnoxious about it unless someone tries to pick something you have already picked – at that point it will be acceptable for you to be temporarily obnoxious.

  • Team Concert Venue – pretty self-explanatory. I would guess the one thing we have to watch out for is not picking places that people have chosen for their team bar or team stadium, something like that.

  • Team Gangster – this can be a fictional or real gangster. The term “gangster” is pretty hard to misunderstand, so just pick a gangster. Having said that, we will consider and probably accept clever interpretations of the term. Again, just don’t be stupid about it.

  • Team Ghost/Haunted House/Area – this is a building or area that is f***ing haunted by ghosts or other scary spirits and shit. The area shouldn’t be too big – like you couldn’t choose “Ecuador” because you heard that the Ghost Hunters found some creepy shit in the country – you should choose the specific place in Ecuador that is spooky. Or you could just choose a haunted house. Can be fictional or “real.”

  • Team Knight Of The Round Table – you should choose one of the Knights of the Round Table. You can choose them from any respectable source you want, but it has to be respectable – if you choose someone from a disreputable, defective source, you will be cut. Physically cut. In real life.

  • Team Local Icon – in this case, “local” should be local to you. We are spread out a bit, so local to me won’t be the same as local to Hollywood, even though we are blood relatives by DNA.

  • Team Movie/TV Villain – this is the usual deal for a CATEGORY FIVE category – don’t choose anyone from anything substantial (meaning Team TV Show, Team Film Series, etc.) which has been chosen before. As usual, we will prosecute these on a case-by-case basis, and you will marvel at our wisdom.

  • Team TV Family – same as above – don’t take anyone from anything substantial (meaning Team TV Show, Team Film Series, etc.) which has been chosen before.

  • Team War Movie – this will be awesome. The directors draft doesn’t count for this, as usual, but films by Team Director, or by directors who have been chosen for something else, are not available for selection. You will have to police this yourselves unless we are lucky enough to catch a duplicate, because we have selected a lot of shit.

  • Team Wrist Watch – this should be awesome too. Pick a specific watch, with watch company and model name. You can’t just pick a company and take all their watches. Unless you have picked a watch company for something else. Please tell me if you have picked a watch company for something else.


1714674381043.png

Remember: “Chaos” is not the same thing as “Havoc.” Engage in the former, not the latter. We have a whole ton of stuff left over for future phases, so don’t worry if categories you wanted aren’t in here - I will champion them later with the boss.

For the first round, we will give everyone 12 hours to get revved up again - for all the succeeding rounds, it will be six hours. The daily clock starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 10 p.m., all times Eastern. This is a MONGOOSE DRAFT, which is the same functionally as a snake draft, but isn’t named after the turboc*** of the animal world.

Don't forget to tag the next person in your pick post AND send a PM.

DAY 7:



Per Korn Wiki:

"What inspired Jonathan Davis to write this song though, was an early gig in San Diego where a person in the audience was booing them and telling them to "go back to Bakersfield!" Jonathan knelt down to hear him and the guy took a swing at him. He missed and the band's manager assaulted him. The person was all tattooed and looked like a "clown" to Jonathan Davis, inspiring the title of the song and also the line "Hit me clown, because I'm not from your town.""

This knight of the round table, am I picking an actual such knight as defined on Wikipedia? Or some other round table like in game of thrones? Or someone in personally selecting that I like and/or simp

An actual knight. If GoT calls them specifically "Knights of the Round Table," you can pick one. If there is an anime that uses specifically "Knights of the Round Table," you can use them. In most of these cases, not too likely. Probably best not to overthink it until you have put the bong down for a few weeks.

Thank you, Cap!

We're still working out the details of the future considerations, but rest assured it will include massive quantities of the NJFZ Official Team Currency: Parmigiano Reggiano.

When I took a gander at the categories for this phase, I immediately knew I absolutely had to have one pick above all others--Team Concert Venue.

thetroc-philly3.jpg


I've seen so many great shows here, a veritable who's who of 90's indie rock. The single greatest show that was ever put on happened here one summer day in 1995, when Superchunk had the entire standing room only crowd bouncing off of the walls for a full hour or so.

The Trocadero Theater, or simply The Troc, has been many things over its 150 or so years, including an opera house and a burlesque theater. Here's holding out hope that it once again opens its doors to another generation of kids who are just looking to have a great time.

@pit, this one's for you

I'm here. Hello!

1wYQz7a.gif


We start the day with @pit on the clock, @Magua on deck, @BigToe on the lido deck, and Strawberry on the lido afterdeck.

After the initial great opening, I wasn't sure how much I liked "Fallout" for a bit, but I have come around. The world building - the "myth building," if you will - has been good and interesting. I normally don't like dystopian stories at all - I usually find storytellers piling up the grit and grime to be exhausting. Like I get it, everything is dirty and rusty. But I don't mind the way they are handling it here. It reminds me of the five minutes I played "Fallout" and many other videogames, which is a compliment. And since the idiots who are making the "Borderlands" series had the idiocy to cast Kevin Hart, I am very happy this series is holding up.

The Trocadero Theater, or simply The Troc, has been many things over its 150 or so years, including an opera house and a burlesque theater. Here's holding out hope that it once again opens its doors to another generation of kids who are just looking to have a great time.

@pit, this one's for you



So what went 1OA didn’t even change. :laugh:

@JojoTheWhale clearly made his post to tamp down my ire at finally having a high pick to only be leapfrogged over and lose the one pick I would have had the burning desire to make in this round. You owe him future considerations PLUS @mja .

My bar gave me my favourite DC venue and the Troc would have given me my favourite Philly one. I'm not going for RANCH in Trenton, despite it being iconic because, frankly, I don't care to get stabbed in the parking lot. So, that leaves me trying to land on a favourite Toronto venue and I've got a few.

Ultimately, I decided to go for something even more intimate than the Black Cat.

Team Concert Venue: The Horseshoe Tavern

Small space, great sound, excellent at identifying bands before they blow up and need to move on to larger venues like RANCH or RANCH, which I also considered. Despite being a small venue, they still pull large acts in for amazing shows. It's been going in various forms for 70 years now, though has really hit its stride in the last 25-30. For anyone who wants to read the history, you can go here: History | Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto.

@Magua It's legendary.

Bravery, who needs it? And being the bravest is just showing off. I'd rather no fighting than stage fighting so the coach (or king) doesn't healthy scratch you.

@BigToe -- that's, uh, enough music for now, lads

Well, I suggested the category with someone specific in mind, and it was selected for this phase, so I will select my local icon.

There ain't anyone out there doing it who is more Philly than Dawn Staley. She's a winner, which should naturally make her a villain, but she's Dawn Staley, so it doesn't. And we know she ain't gonna sell her tickets. Although as a member of the organization, she doesn't need them. So she won't let anyone else sell them either.
