NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE FOUR! Part Three!

[Captain Dave Poulin]

It wasn't an Express... you know NOTHING!

Aside from the six years I lived in Thailand, you're right.

 

[pit]

I have Jojo's pick.


"All M.A.D. Cats season ticket holders will be eligible to purchase ultra exclusive memberships to the finest nightlife the world has to offer, the Dionysian Mysteries. Every aspect of these social gatherings will be designed by none other than the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking, wine, fertility, orchards, fruit, vegetation, pleasure, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity, and theatre himself, Dionysus/Bacchus.

An excerpt from a description of his portrayals:

'God of the stranger, the Other and religious ecstasy, Dionysus travels the countryside with his* consort Ariadne, followed by a continuous rolling orgy of nymphs, satires and mortal women. Called Maenads, these women gave up their families and positions in order to follow him, surrendering themselves fully to that animal state the ancient Greeks believed all women possessed. Armed with thyrsi, giant fennel staves, these women were drunk, sexually aggressive and, when sufficiently roused, liable to rip apart and eat anything that crossed their paths, from lions to their own sons. Failure to offer him worship and appropriate respect would bring him to your town, at best to lure the women away as Maenads, at worst to turn them loose on the men.'


Going to a Flyers game would undoubtedly be safer, but going to a M.A.D. Cats game will never be boring.

@Hollywood Couturier I hope this one's a dinosaur."

I should have known he'd get taken.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I should have known he'd get taken.

I'm surprised that pervert didn't take him in round one.

 

[Young Sandwich]

I'm surprised that pervert didn't take him in round one.

I myself am already a god of the grape-harvest, winemaking, wine, fertility, orchards, fruit, vegetation, pleasure, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity, and theatre. No need.

 

[Magua]

I'm no Anthony Bourdain, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night

Trouble at the farm? Is an evil banker foreclosing on your property? Has the local chicken baron been giving you threats if you don’t sell to him? Now I’m worried, Cap.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The Las Vegas Desert Ducks have gone back and forth here about what to choose as our transport vehicle. Should we choose [redacted] so that we can protect our Team Attack Vehicle? Or should we select what was almost our Team Attack Vehicle?

We decided to not close that door and allow someone to select [redacted] if they truly want to mess with me for #Lore.

So with that said... we are proud to select as our Team Transport Vehicle... Slave I.

@Young Sandwich is up.

You should have used this imagination in service to the Quackverse. Next time something starts, just join it.

 

[BernieParent]

In recent years I almost always sprinkle some crushed red pepper on my pasta just to give that little kick. It's the way.

Ditto, Reb. That or cayenne.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Team Vacation spot was a tough one. All we need is mountains, beaches, seclusion, and arguably the best trout fishing on the planet. Not actually that tough now that I write it out. I have yet to travel there, but it will happen someday. One of my meccas.


This is all the same place:

Team Vacation Spot - New Zealand


Go on ahead @CanadianFlyer88

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Thanks for handling that, Cap.

On brand choice, @JojoTheWhale.

There are so many ways to take this.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well umm... the entire country of New Zealand seems entirely too large to select but that’s just one man’s opinion.

 

[BernieParent]

@Magua and I can tag off if this leads into football, in which I have no interest and even less knowledge.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Huh. Looks like a 10700 is about the same price as the 5600x.

Why is my 6-year old GPU still around $250??

GPUs are used in mining rigs. That's it.

 

[ajgoal]

Well umm... the entire country of New Zealand seems entirely too large to select but that’s just one man’s opinion.

I think I started it by taking a whole state.

 

[ajgoal]

GPUs are used in mining rigs. That's it.

For that, I'll rip it out and put my old one back in.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I think I started it by taking a whole state.

When the hell did someone take a whole state? Was that during the time I abandoned Cap?

 

[ajgoal]

When the hell did someone take a whole state? Was that during the time I abandoned Cap?

It was yesterday.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It was yesterday.

If the answer was “at any point in time” then yes, it was during a time I abandoned Cap.

 

[ajgoal]

I was trying to be nice

@Young Sandwich is up.

I almost chose this as one of my vehicles and probably would have if it wasn't owned by the mouse.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Blame @ajgoal . New Zealand is the size of Colorado.

I'll gladly pare it down if need be.

 

[Chinatown88]

Even though you took the last top tier poster the Bookworms support the selection of New Zealand.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

For our vacation spot, the Seattle Sockeyes are happy to select Bristol Bay, home of the world's largest sockeye salmon fishery. This is due to the Bay being the largest salmon spawning area, with over 38 million sockeyes making the run annually. All five Pacific salmon breeds make the Bristol Bay run, with the sockeyes accounting for the largest volume.

@DancingPanther is back up!

 

[Young Sandwich]

Even though you took the last top tier poster the Bookworms support the selection of New Zealand.

Much appreciated. We can trade off posters every other weekend. I'll begrudgingly take the Toe fly fishing with me or something.

 

[Chinatown88]

Top of the draft is still the best part. We're all punctual.
