Recalibrate your spite-o-meter, people, good grief.

Holy Christ what is going on

He's currently stuck in purgatory and not traveling to the QV so I felt the need to correct that

Someone I actually don't like (honestly there aren't many) and if he weren't playing for the Flyers on such a shitty deal because of such a shitty trade I wouldn't care about him... not like he can get much worse though.

@Asnito

I have endless choices for spite players
1. Anyone who ever played for the Rangers
2. Anyone who played for the Leafs from 1973 through 2004
3. Anyone who played on a Cup winning Edmonton team
4. Anyone on the 79-80 Islanders
5. Anyone from the mid to late 70s Bruins
6. Anyone who played for the Capitals in the mid 80s
7. Most of the Flyers roster from 2021 through today
8. The 90s through 2012 Devils

And that’s really only scratching the surface.

Trout season never closes if you fish in the right spots...

This hefty gal's aggressive painting style is so mesmerizingly unique that she must make the trip to the Quackverse with us. She holds the world record for the most expensive painting by an animal, coming in at just under $28,000. She's quite hideous to look at, but at the same time she's cute as a button.

@ajgoal and/or @Captain Dave Poulin SOOOOOOOIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

1. The next person who posts a picture of their pick without a name is getting my foot up their ass.

2. @Asnito until your defective ass gives us an explanation for Mark Howe, I'm not counting it - I am positive that you have f***ed this up in your head somehow and I'd rather fix it now than in two weeks.

I submit that Ugly Piece of Rat Shit is his actual name, or at the very least that it should be.

Took my kids out this afternoon. Few bites but nothing more, had a blast.

@ajgoal's pick:

"We will use this pick to reunite our Team Director with one of his favorite actors.

A buddy cop before there were buddy cops. The Man with No Name before Eastwood (Fine, after 1958, but who cares?). Particularly well-known for his association with Akira Kurasawa, he was a prolific actor through the late 40s into the 50s and 60s. He even made appearances in international films from Mexico and the US.

Team Classic Actor: Toshiro Mifune

Incidentally, if anyone is interested, the Japan America Society and Lightbox University Film Center are presenting a retrospective on his roles. Toshiro Mifune Retrospective"

@Young Sandwich

Quality

 

[ajgoal]

That McDavid pick is why I was asking about clones. I didn't want to cause issues for my own team.

Never seen her in a movie, something I should rectify. But she was a dancer, so she is ok by us.

Team Classic Actress: Ginger Rogers

You could be talking about anything though.

According to my math, we have six games left to endure before we can start to subtract. So that's all right. I guess.

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

I found a list of the best Chinese wuxia/action films since 2000, and I have started to go through them. I watched "Cold War" (2012) last weekend. It's about cops who get kidnapped and the two high-ranking officers who try to deal with the situation. It was OK for the most part, thought there wasn't much action to speak of, at least with regard to how much I was expecting. There is almost always some goofiness in watching a Chinese film, because of the gulf between their culture and ours, and I'd say there was about 20% too much goofiness to recommend it. Still, it wasn't bad.

On Friday, I watched "Chasing the Dragon" (2017). I guess this is based on a true story of a low-level thug and a corrupt cop who rise to rule the drug trade in Hong Kong in the 1960s and early 70s. And speaking of goofy, it stars Donnie Yen. He is a great fighter, there's no denying that, but I just can't look at him for long without thinking he is goofy. I think he has had his teeth done too much - they look like they are too much for his head. I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's very goofy and over the top at times, but it's still a decent movie as it hangs on a good story. And the action is really good.

I guess the lesson here is that when you run out of Chinese dating shows to watch, you can still go to China.

All I can say about Donnie Yen is, he f***ing RULES in the new John Wick. I mean this wholeheartedly.
