NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - MEATY PHASE EIGHTEEN! Part One!

[Striiker]

I would consider this a cover, personally

I would too, but I also understand why it would be against the spirit of the category.

We could easily make the parameters more lenient, but there are way too many options for this category to do that.

No worries. You could always just make it a future category if you want.

I was just curious because I'm struggling to think of something, so I was looking at music and it popped into my head that a remix is basically the same thing as a cover, except usually with different music vs different vocals.

Maybe, but traditionally, a cover song is just someone recording someone else's song. A remix is a remix - it is its own thing.

I was just thinking they’re similar in the sense that they’re both someone taking an established piece of music and putting their own spin on it.

But I guess sometimes covers aren’t always like that. Sometimes its just the identical song being re-recorded by someone else.

All of you married motherf***ers have to do stuff today hahaha. Have fun in nature, and watch out for the snakes!

We start Mother's Day with Hawaiian motherf***er @Magua on the clock, Virginian motherf***er @Hurricane28 on deck, Pennsylvanian Amish motherf***er @Striiker on the lido deck, and Seattleite satellite motherf***er CanadianFlyer88 orbiting around the drain at the bottom of the order with two picks to pick.

Last night I watched another one from that motherf***er I mentioned yesterday, Ryoo Seung-wan, this one called "Escape From Mogadishu." It's from last year, so it is especially fresh. It's about the motherf***ers in the South Korean embassy and the motherf***ers in the North Korean embassy in the titular (phrasing) Somalian capital in 1990. I don't know if you have heard, but that place is a shithole - those motherf***ers are crazy, for one thing. Much more importantly, there are about a hundred trillion billion of the world's worst snakes, the motherf***ers, including the black mamba, that motherf***er. Right after I finished the movie I Googled "venomous snakes of Somalia" and read through the list. I always do this, but I have rarely seen worse results. It included at least three different species of spitting cobras, those motherf***ers. Ugh. I don't know how, but I escaped a night full of snake nightmares. I'm sure they will make up for it soon.

Anyway, the movie didn't show any snakes on screen. It was about the rebels attacking the government forces and damn near every other motherf***er in sight. The Koreans from both sides of their own border see Africa as a crucial battleground politically, the South Koreans because it held the key to acceptance into the United Nations (after terribly shitty behavior of their own for decades), and the North Koreans because they are commie motherf***ers, innit. They have to set aside their differences and work together to find a way to escape the country as the bullets fly and it burns to the ground. It is a really well-made film, as you'd expect from my man Seung-wan. There is a really exciting "car chase" (kind of) in the climax (phrasing), and throughout there is a very intensely palpable sense of danger. Pretty highly recommended.

Anyway, let's get through this holiday and get back to the motherf***ing normality of picking.

I’m pretty sure snakes would be the least of your worries in Somalia.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm pretty sure you are the greatest of my worries in America.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm pretty sure you are the greatest of my worries in America.

Lockjaw is your greatest concern

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Lockjaw is your greatest concern

Especially with all the knife fighting I do.

 

[Magua]

A+ juxtaposition

 

[Beef Invictus]

A+ juxtaposition

We've done it

 

[Lord Defect]

I'm pretty sure you are the greatest of my worries in America.

North central and south?

The Honolulu Ghibli select as our Team Pet Peeve: people who don't wash their hands

I'm not a germaphobe, but I get skeeved out when people consciously eat messy foods with their hands, and then proceed to not wash them, carry on as usual, and touch ev-ery-thing. Friends, family, strangers -- don't care. Wash your f***ing digits; that napkin isn't good enough. And it's better to be suspected a serial killer than someone who doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom. As @BernieParent would surely agree, cleanliness is next to godliness.

 

[DancingPanther]

Right.

Ok

The gif to describe my sports teams. From Major League.

Every passing day I empathize more with Randy Quaid's character in Major League 2. @Striiker

Guys, I was today years old when I learned that grenadine isn’t cherry flavored. It’s made from pomegranate juice.

I have been shaken to the core. Shirley temples man.

Good timing, @Striiker. Just walked in the door and refreshed this page.

Team Card Game Monster: Stabby the Unicorn

Team Horror Movie Character: Bruce, aka the shark from Jaws. We are an aquatic franchise, after all.

@Striiker, I saw your Cheerios talk. Anything other than the original Cheerios as GoAT is blasphemous. I was *this close* to sending my card game monster after you, but you didn't specify which was your favourite... there's still time.

We could almost do a Team Cheerios category if we did it in pairs. I already have Multi Grain Cheerios. @Lord Defect has Multi Groin Cheerios, amirite?

Where is this Cheerios talk, anyway?

1) Strawberry Yogurt Cherrios are what Kings eat, you peasant.

2) my monster would annihilate your little Phil Myers. I'm not making that pick yet though, since I need that in my back pocket to quickly use if I can't think of anything in the future (I give this draft zero forethought and sometimes run into issues)

Here ya go Cappy. As usual, my taste is flawless.

Sooo… I’m sitting by my front window eating my Cheerios and out of the corner of my eye I see a large dark shape moving in the front yard. I look up and it’s… a… turkey. Big one too.

OK but what kind of cheerios?

Have you tried these?

Would recommend.

Those look f***ing amazing. The Apple and Cinnamon ones are also awesome, and the Frosted ones, and the Multi Grain, and the regular, and the Honey Nut. I wonder how many pounds of them I could eat before I threw up. I'm guessing at least seven.

Which reminds me, Sicario was such a great movie.

Yup, they're pretty much all great.

I love adding veeeeeery thinly sliced bananas to them too.

That script is an atrocity. I can't remember the specifics of why, but I am going to watch it again and get back to you. She rules, though.
