Of thee I sing.

Briatollah — of thee I sing on the cake?

Anyway, I think that guy is pretty frosted.

Briatollah…. at that age my brother asked me seriously what “dondering” meant…. and I had no idea what a “rampard” was, myself.I thought of maybe shepherds watching o’er a flock of some sort of wooly animal.

Beviek…. I looked it up but I still don’t understand.The Wikipedia page was so convoluted I decided I don’t care, cos hey, I’ll never watch a hockey game anyway.Um…. I mean… sorry, all you Canadians and Sharks fans and stuff.

Wait, ice hockey is a sport now?

susan, the rule is that you can’t just shoot the puck the full distance if the ice. I think if the puck travels over all three lines on the rink, it’s called icing. There may be more details….it’s not really a penalty, but the puck gets dropped for a face of near the opponents goal, which give them an advantage… As Red Green says…“Keep your stick on the ice….” And I say, no checking!…in the hotel…..

I LOVE Red Green! Remember, we’re all in this together.

I knew what the term meant, but I still think it is absurd since the puck is kept in a freezer before the game, and is already iced.

@briatollahI was NEVER a Ramona fan (she spoiled Henry Huggins for me….) but I always like “Motorcycle Mouse” and “Runaway Ralph”. And I personally recite the “Man’s Prayer” every night (that my gf lets me……….)

I adore Steve Smith!Don’t exactly want to be married to him, if he’s like Red Green in real life, though….and his wife wouldn’t like that, anyway.

But he’s catnip to women my age….um…. if they’re as crazy as me!

Stanley Cup-Cake Playoff.

“If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.” Words to live by.

I’m a proud member of Chapter 11. QUANDO OMNI FLUNKUS MORITATI. (When all else fails, play dead!)

briatollah, Yup, but about the only way I can do that is to use the handy man’s best friend..Duct Tape.

This doesn’t need Icing, a.
