GDT: "Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs" - Winnipeg @ Seattle, 2022 Nov 13 @ 7pm CST

Still always funny! Will laugh at that shit on my deathbed.

Life is supposed to be fun! Why is everyone trying to suck the fun out of it?

Let me be clear: I took a giant shit on Big Bang Theory in the GDT, but it's wildly popular and had a monumental run. But we all have things that rub us the wrong way in a way that can't be funny, which is why the 'snowflake' rhetoric is really just.. yeah.

I think there are objective things you can say ABOUT humour -- you can objectively say (for instance) how 'shock humour' or 'gallows humour' works, and what a joke is trying to accomplish along those lines, even if it doesn't give one the reaction intended.

And yes this is already too much serious talk about funny talk; in the words of a third great English language wit (Mark Twain): "explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog; sure, you understand it better, but think of what it does to the frog!"

Funny shit is funny shit

Funny shit is funny shit

Yup.

Funny shit is funny shit

You bet...

Humour like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Times running out to get your guesses in for the Prediction Contest. You have until puck drop...

Okay maybe a few too many already today so this one will be interesting

Expect a lot of Blue Bomber pre-gaming.

NHL schedule sucks so much. Jets have 3 days off play a game and then play another game 22 hrs later, would it have been that hard to start this game 2 hrs later and start the Calgary game an hour earlier so that the turnaround period between the two games was a bit more reasonable?

This one? Who knows.

The Calgary game? Completely unreasonable to Sportsnet who dictate when Canadian teams play on Saturdays.

Oh My - I was hoping this might happen -
Make the best of it Mikey

I have a 15 minute window here between the nerve-wracking Bombers victory and the upcoming Jets game. (Or, more accurately, about 12 minutes before the traditional "shut your effing laptop" growl here.)

I'm predicting that the Jets will have a comeback game after last night's less than stellar effort. I'm predicting that the defence will make an extra effort to protect Rittich. I'm hoping that Connor will regain some of last year's mojo and that Essy will reward the confidence of the coaches will an excellent contribution. And wouldn't it be nice if Scheif makes more of an effort to backcheck and Wheeler doesn't have quite so much time on the ice?

Given our Sunday night traditions here, I won't be back on here today but I'll check back tomorrow morning to rejoice or consume crow. Let's go, Jets!

Expect a lot of Blue Bomber pre-gaming.

I think that is a pretty common theme around here for today.

Tough back to back

 

[Fatdrunk]

Release the Kraken

 

[None]

Tough back to back

Looking at the boxcars the Kraken look to be a Hurricanes-lite. Knowing how the Jets struggled with LA I can see this game being pretty tough.
