Not only are my Sharks playing your Blackhawks tonight, but the coaches are _brothers_! :eek: “A good time for a bet with **jarbaby** ”, say I. You can even pick the terms! ---

Damn. I was hoping you were going to challenge each other to a game of Strip Darts[sup]TM[/sup]. ---

\ I am quietly, stone facedly confident that my beloved Blackhawks will not only wipe the ice with your shark asses tonight, but will also beat the living crap out of you in a minimum of three Probertian fights. The score will be four to one, one of those goals will be shorthanded. If I win, I get a one pound bag of sour skittles. What would you like on the off chance that your \ team \ wins this game? And it’s a cute little team. It really is. YOU’RE SO CUTE…YES YOU ARE. jar ---

Since that bully Weight defected, it’s a pity that all you have to rely on is a guy that spent the best years of his career with Detroit. However, I am willing to bet that my Sharks will come from behind to beat the scourge of the Midwest by one and look much better doing it. I mean, really…how much can you expect of a goalie with a girlie name? Sour Skittles it is. I’ll expect mine Priority Mail. ---

What’s Weight got to do with it? He played for the Oilers. OH HOW I WISH he played for me…I mean, my team. 🙂 Jocelyn is three times the woman you could ever hope to be. THROW DOWN jar ---

Sharks fan here, checking in to back up Sue Duhnym and to scream: GO SHARKS GO SHARKS GO SHARKS GO . . . cough cough . . . GO SHARKS!!! Our guys work out in the off season by mountain biking their tough muscly buns up our steep coastal mountains. Best possible workout for hockey players, I’m told. We are fully primed to kick some major ass tonight. [ominous Jaws music plays here] ---

I am neither a Sharks fan nor a Blackhawks fan, but logic tells me that the Sharks win this one. Nolan needs to start popping a few to build his confidence before the Olympics. ---

I like that in a debate… as for my lack of posts in the last 9 monthes or so… too much working… then spending time with family type stuff, impedes blogging. I’ll try to check back from day to day. ---

I’m happy to see someone sticking up for our beloved Blackhawks tonight.Even through the asswhipping they gave the Sharks tonight. ---

> [@](#): > > If I win, I get a one pound bag of sour skittles. The fabric of space and time just tore itself apart as the Blackhawks beat the Sharks 4-2. Damn, I love sour skittles. I should have gotten in on some of this action. ---

Jarbaby, I owe you some Skittles honey. Email me your snail mail addy and I’ll send them right out. I have to go to the post office anyway to mail **pricciar** his peanut butter M&Ms. I am so depressed. ::😭:: ---

I tell you truly, I am a humble winner. I shall not dance. I shall not say IN YOUR FACE SUE. I shall not proclaim the Sharks a bunch of fruity suckwads. I will simply provide my address to Sue, receive my sour skittles and eat them while the Blackhawks quietly make their way to the playoffs. BURN!
