FOG Team Artist - BANKSY
A quick wiki blurb for those living under rubble and unaware of Banksy..
"
Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation.[2] Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls and bridges throughout the world.[3] Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.[4] Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.[5]
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. Banksy no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall they were painted on.[6] Much of his work can be classified as temporary art.[7] A small number of Banksy's works are officially, non-publicly, sold through an agency created by Banksy named Pest Control.[8] Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[9] In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the film.[10] In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.[11]"
I highly recommend watching Exit Through the Gift Shop if you want a crash-course on the beginning of the Banksy/Street Art phenomenon. Fascinating documentary.

Knublin' PPs
I almost took him last time there was an actor category and then Mr. Magoo selected one of his iconic roles last phase. To make sure we don't miss out on him entirely, we'll go ahead and pick him now.
In his storied career, he only won a single Oscar (the first ever black actor to win an Oscar for a leading role) and was only nominated for one other, despite being one of the most respected actors of his generation.
He was awarded a knighthood as a citizen of the Bahamas and was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Representing the Bahamas, he served as Ambassador to Japan and UNESCO.
The Seattle Sockeyes are thrilled to select Sidney Poitier as our classic actor.
@Chuck Downie, you don’t have to become something you’re not to be better than you were.

I feel like @Strawberry Fields is the only one who is working within the spirit of the spite player category...

I interpreted it as a means of debilitating good players and giving yourself an advantage over them at home. Granted, the number of hockey players I can think of off the top of my head that I hate is small compared to most people here, so I kind of have to go a different route anyway

Excuse me, but I picked Crosby & Marchand. My take on this category has been that one needn't prioritize picking talented players to handicap vs. players that are truly detestable, or vice versa. Indeed, it is not only possible but preferable to satisfy both aims simultaneously.

Ok, fine. You both picked detestable players who also should be handicapped.

Right you are, Defective Aristocrat. Haughty Defect! Pompous Defect! Effete Defect!
I continue diving into Spite People. Today I Spite:

The fact that this toolbag holds the season record for points for NJ at a paltry 96 tells you everything you need to know about how crushingly boring that team has been for so, so long. That's Erat/Legwand shit right there. Their so-far best ever forward embodies DPE sadness and trash hockey. I desire to put him in The Musher.
@Hollywood Cannon! Booming Cannon! Loud Cannon! Bombastic Cannon!

You know that saying "Some people just want to watch the world burn"? I am one of those people.
We start the day with @Hollywood Cannon on the clock, @DancingPanther on deck, me on the lido deck, and @BernieParent on the lido afterdeck.
My computer is a mess, so I am going to let it relax for a bit. You should relax, too.

Gotta be honest, I didn’t think I was going to get away with my dessert choice, or that cigars or bourbon were still available.
Probably because cigars are garbage. Inhale like a real man.
