NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – TITILLATING PHASE TWENTY-FOUR!

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Alright, i'm ready to make my selections...

First we are going to select our Official Team Tree. I'll admit that I don't really know if this is a different tree than what CanadianFlyer picked but I think that it is. So here we go... We are proud to select... Coast Redwood.

Now I will make our second selection I am going to tag in @Surrounded By Ahos to select our Official Team Nut. I haven't even mentioned this to him so whenever he comes around and if he can come up with a good one that pick will be made.

Boom, that's how you pass the buck.

I'm still confused as to how all this works, but, for our Official Team Nut, the Las Vegas Desert Ducks are proud to select the tastiest nut of all, the Hex Nut!

I currently have an 11 month old puppy(?) who has not been socialized one tiny bit. If you want someone to hide in the corner and give these people terrified yelps to disconcert them out of their nefarious plots, Willie’s got your back.

(I do not understand show dog breeders at all. Willie is a failed breeding dog due to autoimmune issues. He also has no idea how to be a dog.)

That is a bummer. My parents rescued a 3 yr old Golden that was used to breed. Seemed like she spent a lot of time in a kennel and it took awhile to relax and “be a dog” once they got her. She came around though. Willie is a great name btw. It was my pound puppies name when I was a kid lol.

Our basset hound had been a backyard breeder. She didn't understand it when we wanted her to come inside. We'd call her and she'd sit down in the backyard and just stare at us until one of us went out to "reboot" her. It took a while, but it got to the point where she much preferred to just go out, do her business and come back in. She never warmed to strangers though, she would shut down and just stay in one spot until they were gone.

We're all confused by this whole thing. That's what makes it enjoyable. If it made sense then we wouldn't be doing it.

FOG Team Apple - Knobbed Russett

They look more like a potato, but are supposedly sweet and fleshy. More importantly, they are weird, and so are the FOG. Jeff Goldblum made this pick for us.

It's @mja day

Team Refrigerator Magnet:

@Asnito, apparently I chose hillbillies today

 

[Asnito]

Merci beaucoup mja. J'espère que tout se passe bien avec votre excursion française.

Team extinct animal the Tasmanian Tiger.


There was a show Extinct or Alive about a guy, Forrest Galante, that searches for extinct animals. He actually did find a few animals that were thought to be extinct. This is a trailer on the episode about the Tasmanian Tiger.


The irrepressible @Captain Dave Poulin take it away

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I don't have the strength to fight that defective nut pick, so I am just going to make my pick.

Rather than selecting a whole dumb apple, which would be pointless, I am going for dessert.

Team Apple - Apple Crumble

Team Nut

Horse Chestnut

@Strawberry Fields

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

You know that title "Everything Everywhere All at Once"? That's what the transfer market is like, except without penis fingers.

We start the day with @Strawberry Fields on the clock, @Striiker on deck, @GKJ on the lido deck, and Bernardo on the lido afterdeck.

It's going to be a long, long day of reading. Can't wait.

 

[ajgoal]

good morning all you beautiful people.

 

[Striiker]

I hate everything

 

[Young Sandwich]

good morning all you beautiful people.

You're mighty chipper this morning. Did someone get laid last night?

No, I wandered out of the thread and am forcing myself to be nice.

I hate everything

Please don't grow up like me.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

@ajgoal is absolutely correct.

Good morning, everyone. Your hair looks nice today.

I am in Riga, drinking at a brew pub. Why is life good? Because of this.

Now do you wanna know the crazy shit that HCette had me dealing with yesterday?

I'm pretty sure that I was actually murdered last night and I just haven't realized it yet.

So... HCette put up some furniture that we have in what is going to be the new babies nursery on Facebook to giveaway. A bed frame, a side table, and a dresser. She has been talking to this one lady who is pregnant who says that she would love to have it. They've been going back and forth about when she could come and get it knowing that HCette nor myself will be helping move it from the house.

So we were up in Buffalo all weekend for my brother's father-in-law's funeral and it's determined that she was going to come and get it on Wednesday because that's when she could get some help.

Now HCette and Thatcher Venmo had plans to go away with her mom/sister/cousins for a couple of days leaving me home with the doggo. So it fell on me to deal with this whole ordeal.

I have no communication with this person. It's all through HCette second hand but i'm told that she's going to come sometime after 5/around 5. I rush home from work expecting for her to show up around then. I keep checking to see if someone is out front but hours go by and nothing. I finally give up and decide that I am going to go in the basement and watch the Phillies. Naturally this is at 7:30 and what do you know HCette texts me saying that she's asking if she can come now. I say whatever, fine. The person coming to get it also said that she was just going to send her mother and brother to save a spot in the car for room.

Now they get to the house. I meet them at the door and notice that they don't have any tools or anything when I was under the impression that they were going to be taking it apart and removing it that way but whatever. I take them upstairs to show them the furniture and i'm hit with the "we're just here to take pictures, we're going to need a pickup truck to move this and are we free this weekend?"

At this point i'm still only pretty sure that they took a picture of the bed frame which is weird as hell to me. I tell them fine whatever. I call HCette after and she's like "What? That wasn't the plan seemingly at all with what she had talked about with the other person."

My biggest flaw is that I have absolutely no concept of time. If something is five hours from now I am paralyzed to do anything during those five hours so sitting around with an indefinite start/end date yesterday threw me for a loop and then after it was over I was even more off put about the randomness of it all.

Am I murdered or going to get murdered? Probably 75%+ chance, right?

And do you wanna know what this asshole is doing right now also? I'm sitting here waiting for a person to show up to fix my damn washing machine with an indefinite timeline of when they'll get here.

MAKE IT STOP!

So new wrinkle in this whole ordeal…

HCette reaches out to this person today to see if they’re still going to come tomorrow to pick up the stuff.

She responds that her mom was in a car accident so she’s going to try and come herself.

Keep in mind this lady is supposedly pregnant.

We’re totally getting murdered, right?

Yeah, they're going to steal your house

Demand a picture of her stomach to verify pregnancy and a picture of her arm to verify that she's not just fat.

If she refuses then that can only mean she was 100% going to murder and/or rob you, so you're free to start talking shit like you're in a classic MW2 lobby.

I was thinking, "That was before the internet was big for gaming, right?" Then I figured out you meant a lower tier game than I was thinking about.

CoD “4” was the OG legit. I want to say halo 3 was just after and then the mad house free for all went away.

Rainbow 6 was in the mix or the last remenants of the Wild West.
