Omaha Penguins?

Well, the Penguins are on the verge of being sold. Bad? Not really. The new owner ALONG with Mario Lemieux is a hockey guy. He owns several minor league teams and has a minority stake in another NHL team (so how can he own the Penguins as well?), so I like it. The Penguins will NOT be moving anywhere if they get a new arena, and I almost think this is better for the team because if they do not get that arena, they can keep the team intact and move them. This franchise will always be my favorite of any sport and I will not see them go up in flames.

This Blog has a theme song. I believe Faith No More, "Epic."

Can you feel it ,see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magit, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?...

I could've sworn I saw Vanilla Ice on TV last night singing, "Ice Ice Baby."

This AM's fire drill really made me wonder how realistic they are. Answer: not at all. Seriously, if there is a fire, I am not "walking" down the stairs and out the door. I am breaking a window, climbing out of it an donto the factory roof and either down a ladder if present, or I'm jumping. I'll be happy with a broken leg or 2. 3rd degree burns are not my style.

I swear, "Let me stand next to your fire" is blasting through my radio right now. Jimmy.

Heat wave my ass. This is why I like cold weather.

Curb Your Enthusiasm last night was classic. "The Corpse-Sniffing Dog" episode was on. Larry loves this dog and here is a breif dialog between LD and his manager:

Larry [petting and hugging the German Sheppard]: Oscar! Oh yes, you such a good boy.
Jeff: You really love this dog, huh?
Larry: Yeah, you know, it's not all the time when you can be affectionate to something German.
