We were doing some ground work for a Bettman photoshop for [Puck Daddy].
And we stumbled across a really strange picture from the site [Gary Bettman Sucks]:
There are so many questions about this picture:
Is it Bill from [Abel to Yzerman]?
Look at that face.
We can't even do Winter in The Sun, because of this.
Blah.
Go Pens
And we stumbled across a really strange picture from the site [Gary Bettman Sucks]:
There are so many questions about this picture:
- Did Kris Draper clutch and grab anyone?
- Kid Rock must have been in a bad place.
- How hard to the chick on the right get plowed?
- Is Lidstrom walking in the doorway in the background? And is he getting away with a penalty?
Is it Bill from [Abel to Yzerman]?
- Why does he look so stunned?
- What drug is he on?
- Did he not know a picture was about to be taken?
- Did he sleep with Kid Rock?
Look at that face.
We can't even do Winter in The Sun, because of this.
Blah.
Go Pens

Amazing. First?
MY FIRST FIRST
FUCKASDIDFNAS
Jeez. Cblog must really be dead. I was six minutes late and still got first.
Ha ha. Sorry. You had six minutes!
anyone need an invite to the HF Boards?
-just askin'
how dare u mock me
*grabs ice for that burn*
that face will haunt me.
@ dr t : you read my mind! haha.
Worst post ever.
fuck u all im going to sleep
pirates=joke
nady is gone? every good player we ever get is taken away.
If you hadn't wasted so many years of your life at soda-phd school, you'd be in like flint over there by now. I heard Mr. Pibb's a moderator already.
the dude in the picture looks like he should be riding the short bus.
Kris Draper is a tad old to be hanging out with girls that young.
Haha... shit...
The monkey in the picture is probably Kid Suck's personal "fellator"...and he's trying to show his appreciation by lending him to the Red Wings this upcoming season. I mean Hossa couldn't swallow that much ball butter... could he?...
That retard looks like every pie-faced Michigan person I've ever met in my life. Even my brothers and sisters.
megz590...
Nady is an injury waiting to happen every time he steps between the lines...
It's about time the Pirates trade for some prospects. That's the only way they're going to have a chance to be the slightest bit competitive in the future. Who the hell is going to sign with the Buccos as a FA??? [that isn't either: coming off a major surgery OR at the tail end of a career {Operation Shutdown}]
Bay should be next.
I'd even trade LaRoche while he's HOT.
Wilson?...see ya!
They need to get all the Vincent K Littlefield + McClatchy stench out of PNC & build it from the ground up [for the 5th time, maybe?] like the Cleveland Indians, Florida Marlins, and Tampa Bay Rays have done/are doing it.
Glad to see Coach Fraudriguez getting out to mingle with the Ann Arbor/Detroit Crowd.
has anyone else been taking an extra long look at the donut displays while shopping? (in thanks to max power)
i passed on them, but now that im dunking broken fudge striped cookies into vanilla/caramel pudding, maybe donuts wouldve been a better choice.
Lee Evans + Droopy = Dude?
Sh0ez:
lol nice!...
Is that a crack pipe in Draper's hand?... his right hand. If that's not a chick's hand.
i think thats drapers hand holding the heineken with the red nail polish.
Eh, You're probably right... my bad jefe.
and his left hand is presumably reaching for kid rocks balls.
on that note..
i cant wait to tailgate some football games. there is a superfan for the az cardinals that dresses and looks like kid rock that sits in my friends section. i think they actually think its him.
Oh God, Pirates discussion.
Oh crap. I just can't express how hilarious this post is.
@ Jebus
People from Michigan or people who go to Michigan? Please clarify.
Cause if it's Michiganders you're dissing, then I'm none too happy.
@ Sh0ez
Your math checks out. I solved for Droopy, and it seems right.
I loved all the blog posts here on the Pensblog, but this one just wasn't the one
@melvin: Can it be both? Seriously though... Michigander? I've always hated that. It just sounds wrong.
Wow. A real live human photoshop.
I hear Kid Rock's newest song at work at least 5 times a day (BOB FM gets steady play there). I bet Warren Zevon and Ronnie Van Zandt are rolling in their graves. I hate that song.
Doc Turk, i'll reserve judgment on the trade, Nady is a human disabled list and Marte will be a big loss, but we need prospects. And that was a huge find with the Liam Lynch clip. They used that song on Sifl & Olly, and it surprised the hell out of me when I saw Lynch performing it on Letterman one night haha.
And facebook is crashing my browser, anyone got the where and when of Primanti's blog today?
that pic looks like john goodmnan from "the babe
jon: primantisblog is next sat the 2nd. lol.
That guy looks like he just got done chasing a puck into Orpik's corner office.
OT: Anyone have an invite to HF boards available?
That picture of the guy in the background set to Celine Dion = Hilarious.
That guy in the background is probably mad because all those chicks were with him until Draper and Kid Rock showed up. Draper's such a cockblock.
turk,
good to see somebody recognize that Littlebrain Littlefield looks a little too much like Vince McMahon.
That kid in the corner = creepy. I'm not gonna say I'm the best looking guy, but this kid is ugly enough to have a line of Halloween masks designed after him. At the very least maybe he can be a character in the next Oren Koules movie.
great, now I'm not sure if I can get back to sleep.
ESPN Titletown = still a joke
ESPN titletown = always will be a joke
At least Draper and Lidstrom are passably attractive men. (Kid Rock isn't, but whatev.) Did you view the rest of the photos in the set with the same chicks all up on Chris Chelios and Derian Hatcher? Grosssssssss.
That amazing guy from the corner of the first photo failed to make a reappearance though. I was very disappointed.
That guy kinda looks like Eli Manning. Seriously....take another look!
How hard to the chick on the right get plowed?
What a line to wake up to.
Wow, didn't even notice the typo above.
lis, I'm kinda see it.
But after staring at that pic for a minute, I think he kinda looks like Draper's brother. The eyes and mouth are identical.
Between Rock, Draper, and corner guy, that's a whole lot of ugly in one pic.
So... any chance this dude gets the start in the exhibition gameday posts?
no?
Kid rock sucks. I hate him and that FUCKING SONG. It IS summertime in Northern Michigan and honestly, I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the Post Office lady talking about Kid rock. He's a dick, a douche X10 and I will NOT be going to see him at that stupid concert 99% of assholes here go to.
Kris draper is short in person. Fuck everyone.
Wow, I'm in a serious mood today.
I love all of you, though.
vanessa
no worries! everytime kid rocks god awful song comes on the radio, which just happens to be every five fucking minutes, i just want to drive off a fucking cliff..
kid rock: die you fucking cunt
thats all
There's so much going on in that picture.. I think it pretty much sums up how gay Detroit is. Kid Rock, Kris Draper, and some homo who has a hard on for Michigan.
How hard to the chick on the right get plowed?
very hard, for 5 seconds. oh wait you meant by kid rock.........
oh ya and how about the pirates trade? way to sell yourselves short, again.
maybe that guy was just sneezing and we should all just say god bless you or gazoontite (never actually tried to spell that word before)
bless you, michigan guy. i hope that wasn
t your girlfriend on the right, i would probably look like that to if kid rock was plowing my girfriend.
I think Michigan dude just realized he's wearing a Michigan hat and is trying not to vomit. I wonder if Chelios was at the party, or if he was the neighbor calling the cops because "those kids are too damn loud!"
Chelios was watching re-runs of the Golden Girls in the other room.
Actually, if this picture was taken after 7pm he was probably in bed.
Chelios was touring graveyards.
I'm gonna mail this comment in.
Seems to be the thing to do around here lately (WOOOO!)
Flyer Hater... we still on for din-din and a movie tonight?
I think it's your turn to pay.
BNG 66, only if the woman doesn't come along.
A big night of soup and breadsticks tonight at the Olive Garden.
jonny v...
whateva.
I missed out during the Sifl & Olly days. Thank GODard for Gore.
j.s...
I always thought that about Vincent K...but Mark Madden mastered it. One of the few things I can remember about his show that didn't involve the phrase: 'Your Mom'.
That guy in the MICHIGAN hat looks like he just viewed cakefarts [dot] com.
I'm not hyperlinking it cause it's NSFW + kinda gross [kinda like an accident on the Parkway where you just HAVE to rubberneck]
I found that site while on Barstool Sports...the best thing from the Boston/New England area since...well...ah...forever? [annie + pitthockey, excluded]
I don't particularly like copycat blogs...but, I wouldn't mind seeing tPB borrowing the concept of: Local Smokeshow Of The Day and Guess That Ass. [don't forget to look at Hot Chicks Spotted At Fenway on the left sidebar]
Just to even up all the puckbunny talk on here! [HA! jk, XX'ers]

Tortorella to meet with Islanders

BNG 66, the Golden Corral option is still on the table. Don't test me...
Did anyone ever wonder what happened to Cameron Frye since it's been some years since Ferris Bueller?
I give you Corner Guy = present-day Cameron Frye.
Note: Ideally, the picture above would've been a screencap of the shot of Cameron laying in bed, sick, but I couldn't find one. But look at that picture of Corner Guy, give it a second, and tell me that doesn't look like a present-day Cameron Frye with one Cameron's patented disgusted/pissed-off-at-Ferris faces.
Ideally, the picture above would've been a screencap of the shot of Cameron laying in bed, sick, but I couldn't find one.
Like this and this?
I went to a beer festival with my brother-in-law a couple weeks ago. He wore a Pens hat. We saw a guy with a Wings jersey on, and, completely unprovoked, he yelled at us "Ha! I'm not gonna let you live that one down." What a douche.
Continuing Buccosblog...
For the record, I really like the Nady deal.
Like Turk said, Littlefield left the farm system an absolute disaster - one impact-caliber prospect, a few decent guys and not much else at all, particularly in the low minors. The rebuilding of the system started with the drafting of Alvarez, Scheppers, etc. and they needed to continue it by dealing some of these veterans.
Nady was never going to sign an extension here because some team with deeper pockets would overpay for him, and Boras knows it. Marte? Meh. This trade pretty much signifies the proverbial flying of the white flag for this season, so it makes less sense to keep a guy like Marte around because wins are suddenly less important for this season.
Tabata could be a really good one, from what I've heard. He's awfully young (20) to be playing at AA ball, so that's probably a testament to his talent.
Ohlendorf sounds like the guy who will likely stick on the Pirates roster this year and then eventually fill out as a back-of-the-rotation guy. It sounds like Kontos is the guy with the potential to be an impact starter. And Coke...well, we have a guy named "Coke" on our team. Woooo! Just keep Dave Parker the fuck away from the clubhouse.
Baseball America says it all...
The Pirates' farm system was left with little depth after the disastrous reign of former owner Kevin McClatchy and general manager Dave Littlefield. Current GM Neal Huntington had little choice but to deal players such as Marte and Nady, though doing so likely clinches a record-tying 16th consecutive losing season for the Pirates. Huntington sold high and picked up a high-end prospect in Tabata, albeit one with significant question marks concerning his injuries and makeup. Ohlendorf gives them an instant big league return, Kontos becomes one of the Pirates' better minor league starters, and Coke will have more of a chance to break into the big leagues than ever.
someone tell kid rock he's a punchline.
@ Turk -
Lifesaver!
I think there was one image of Cameron laying on his bed with the camera looking down at him as Ferris was talking through the answering machine and guilt-tripping him into getting out of bed, and Cameron had a similar expression on his face as Corner Guy.
I'm in no position to pick on people who have, um...gained some weight, but outside of Vince Neil and maybe Jani Lane from Warrant, has any rock star blown up quicker than Kid Rock?
Speaking of Jani Lane, this interview snippett is absolutely golden for anyone who grew up with the hair bands like I did...
Love the bitterness.
@ stoosh: Cameron was in The Happening and that stupid Greek show. I was flipping through channels one night and was like "Was that Cameron Frye!?" Went back to see that it was him. He was playing a dean, I think.
stoosh...
Nady trade.
What did these peeps want in return? Jeter or A-Rod?
Looks like some of the players coming over from the Yanks have changed since last night.
Here's what Dejan has about the new new guys on his afternoon blog.
Cameron was also in Spin City
Also, it seems that the Nady deal is changing....
Fox Sports>
and just like that, dr. turk steals my thunder..
Dejan confirmed the Nady deal did change a bit.
We still get Tabata and Ohlendorf. Instead of Kontos and Coke (sounds like something Geno would order at Diesel..."Um...bartender...I have Kontos & Coke, please. On da rocks! Thanks!"), the Pirates get pitchers Daniel McCutchen and Jeff Karstens.
Karstens has reportedly already been added to the 40-man roster and there's a chance McCutchen (the pitcher...not our prospect OF) might be before the weekend is over.
If this is the case, I like the deal even more.
Well, apparently, they called up Steven Pearce, so he'll probably split time in right field with Jason Michaels.
Pearce's bat has come around over the last couple of months after a slow start in Indy, so this ought to be to see him get a chance.
I really like this deal. I really like what I hear about Tabata. How about this for a 2010 lineup?
1B - Steven Pearce
2B - Freddy Sanchez
SS - Jack Wilson/Brian Bixler
3B - Pedro Alvarez
LF - Nate McLouth
CF - Andrew McCutchen
RF - Jose Tabata
C - Ryan Doumit
I'm going to the Pirate game tonight.
God help us all.
Kid Rock=Douchebag
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VpCADfZD-eg
Everytime I go to a Pirates game I always end up screaming obscenities at Jason Bay by the 7th inning. We have a very intese love/hate relationship.
I'm on my way to Sorel. Do you think if I see him, I could convice MAF to go to Vegas with me and get married? I'm gonna try.
Baseball = Suckmode...
Maria:
If you were a dude... maybe.
maria
DO IT.
haha
Woah woah woah. I was just informed that the person we are going to visit in Sorel has an older brother who played hocey with Fleury when they were younger. Apparently they still hang out when he's in town.
You all are invited to the wedding.
Maria good luck!!!! Take lots of pics if you do see him.
@maria -you will need to pick a bestmanblogger and a bridesmaidblogger from here.
Speaking of Pens fans and Vegas weddings with Pens players...
*Cue the voice of Tim Gunn*
This is faaaaaaaabulous!
@ jefe, that's a lot of pressure! I'm bad at making decisions. How about everyone fights to the death and the last woman and man standing get to be maidofhonorblogger and bestmanblogger.
Damn, you know it's a slow summer day when we're talking about my imaginary wedding to Fleury.
If my friends are lying to me about this kid knowing him, I'm going to show them all the Joker's magic trick.
carroll - doesnt this all sound vaguely familiar? hahaha
@stoosh
youre welcome =)
I can only hope I will look as good as Stoosh in my wedding dress.
Right after the timeline thing on the article Turk linked to, it mentions that Nady kept a basket of candy by his locker. It seemed he liked to offer it to anyone who was in the locker room. That's friggin' awesome.
@Dr. Turk: From the last post ... I didn't mean to insult you, we were sitting behind the yellow line even when the cars weren't operating. She was just grouchy ... I think she was from another country, too ... she must hate Americans *laughs*
@Stoosh: How much do you love that picture? You look so cute together *smiles*
el oh el
IHK...
I was jk...I saw probably 8-10 peeps fall into the track/brakes the time that I worked on the T-Bolt. [I even took a tumble!]...those brake edges are RAZOR SHARP and some peeps got seriously messed up falling in!
@ IHK/Carroll/Penstone -
One thing I love about that picture...with Sid doing the little head-tilt thing, it kind of gave him this Christopher Walken-esque expression on his face.
"What am I...doing...up here...with this...GUYYY...in a wedding dress? This is ODD!"
Lol stoosh. Sid needs more cowbell.
Stoosh - I think it is your best picture so far! Don't let us girls get in your way, you can make it happen! :)
I think Laynie did a great job with the PS.
damn i knew i forgot something!
more cowbell!
penstone - familiar, no not at all.
Step aside, Ashton & Demi....
I have a whole new vision of the May-December romance.
Thanks, Stoosh!
@Maria: I would watch out with Flower on trying to get married to him ... his gf and he are pretty close ...
@Stoosh: I'm glad you liked it *laughs*
If you get dual citizenship, this can happen!! *smiles*
@Dr. Turk: You have no diea what is about to come ... *evil laugh*
Sorry, Penstone, I had to *laughs*
*idea
wait.
what?
ihk, I have a boyfriend and it isn't stopping me! He'll realize we're soul mates.
I'm about twenty minutes from Sorel right now. I wonder if my friends will be offended if I ditch them and wander around on my own...
dr turk
just wait.. time will tell for you my friend
dr t- sounds scared.
@Dr. Turk: Your life will be altered permanently, and I'm not sure if it's for better or worse *smirks and evil laugh*
*smiles*
@Carroll: He should be ... *smirks*
penstone - that link doesn't work, it's too long to copy
whooops
Speaking of cowbell!
penstone, hahahha. Sid has a fever! And the only prescription, is more cowbell! (Get on that, Stoosh)
I may be slightly nervous...
but this guy isn't!
@maria
yeah sorry im not a photoshop PRO like stoosh
its going to take time and practice but i'll get better
i mean just look at stoosh's wedding pic!
@ penstone, I'm horrible at photoshop too. I like the more cowbell one though. And stoosh's wedding pic is clutch. You should specialize in hockey wedding pictures. Caldwell/Fleury wedding, maybe? Haha
@maria
i'm on it! hahaha
Stoosh, that Bure jersey is up to 200 dollars on eBay.
Stoosh, your posts on LGP are way too coherent and logical, you should really dumb it down.
@ Dr. T.
That cakefarts site just scarred me for life. Seriously. I know you tried to warn everyone, but I just had to see for myself. ::shudder::
Stoosh wasn't the only one to get married..
Another happy couple!
haha. laynie im glad we went with Whit as Tom.
Dr Turk you are right - Whit really is the man!!
HEY!!!...THAT'S NOT RIGH...
On second thought...that isn't too bad. Wonder if the wife will notice if I replace one of the wedding pics on the entertainment center with this new one!
@Dr. Turk: Do it.
*laughs* You heard nothing from me ...
Does your wife have a good sense of humor?
turk - do it!!
@dr turk
you know that is your favorite picture EVER. i say do it just to see if she notices
and congrats to the happy couple!
Stoosh and Sid have some competition for the cutest couple on C-blog/the Pens ... *smiles*
Joey and Chandler just bought Rangers vs. Pens tickets for Ross on Friends. Woo.
**cue Carly saying something about Sid likes Chandler in 5.. 4.. 3..
@Penstone: Quit being a meanie ...
So what Chandler's awesome ... *sticks out tongue*
How hard to the chick on the right get plowed?
I'd guess that the four chicks in the picture where hit the same way that the 8th Air Force hit Dresden: long, hard, and without mercy.
BALLS
I second the notion of BALLS...
The Balls have it.
to whomever wondered, yes, i believe chelios was at the party as well. i'd just have to find the pics first and i'm afraid i may have to go to the site where malkin & staal are hitting on each other to avoid the girl on the couch with them.
lol
thats a fucking epic picture
So no c-blog tonight? What do I have to look forward to now? I come back from a run to find c-blog dead ... lameblog.
I'm going to have to watch "Definitely Maybe" or "Batman Begins" soon if things don't pick up ...
TDK tomorrow!! Wooo!!
Jesus, I haven't been here in ages. Hello all!
It's still July...
It's 90 degrees outside...
No Hockey......
Blahblog.
I just saw a guy driving his car through a golf course. That was the highlight of my week.
That guy looks like a down syndrome Haley Joel Osment.
Class valedictorian, University of Michigan, Class of Whatever
drinking all day and afternoon beer pong with so-called strippers (and i use that term loosely..) is just not enough for me.
im bored.
"TDK tomorrow!! Wooo!!"
In other news, IHK is watching this cool new sitcom called Seinfeld. It's unique because it's a show about nothing.
@Flyer Hater: Hey! It's not my fault I'm a captive in my house *frowns*
Besides I love Seinfeld ...
I've been running playingpickuprollerhockeyatnevilleislandonceaweekisjustbarelysustainingmylustforhockeyblog the past month. It's been a pretty brutal summer so far to say the least.
yeah IHK, way to join society finally.
@meecrowhateverlaksfoiahfo9anlicnesoblogakfeakanbfskv
yeah.
@jefe: Sounds like you need to attend a Scranton party
I have been a Seinfeld fan a while btw ...
@ihk -cant deny that. i own that shit.
seinfeld who?
um.
whoops.
..that more or less sums up my summer so far anyways, so i wont bother deleting it.
Back from the 'Burgh, not that anyone cares but did get to see TDK for the second time today, but this time at the Imax in Pittsburgh Mills and attended the Summer Safari at the Zoo Friday night if anyone else went.
I can never win ... I guess I should realize that now before I do anything with my life ... *laughs*
movies i saw this year.
Wanted > Speed Racer > The Dark Knight > Iron Man >>> The Happening > The Strangers.
Movies I have seen this year ... uhh ... Wall-e and only because it was a free ticket from the place I volunteer at ... I'm never allowed to do anything *frowns*
Good night, C-blog!
I just saw Stepbrothers...
Will Ferrell should stick to playing Alex Trebek in Jeopardy skits.
Speed Racer better than The Dark Knight? C'mon!
I saw Wanted the other day, absolutely outrageous movie and Speed Racer = still a joke
it was a photo finish between speed racer and tDK.. but,
go speed racer go!
MTV is showing Sin City. I love the movie, but what the hell is going on with this channel? At least it's not Top Model.
Flyerhater, thought you were going to the Pirates game tonight. John Van Ben gave up 7 runs in the first two innings.
fh, ftw
jefe = epic fail
how drunk/high were you when watching speed racer to say it's better than the dark knight? for that matter, any movie better than the dark knight?
TDK on imax tomorrow!!
in other news.......
the pirates still suck hobo balls
History Channel: Batman Tech.
They're discussing all the weaponry and such. Looks good. Turn it on!
jonny v: MTV has been playing movies a lot lately. As well as Spongebob. Ugh.
@"beav":
sorry i've been a bit absent from plymouth, i've been laid up around the house and can't even work. i hope you and that bitch we tipped $.01 can forgive me.
and maybe its just me, but i think if i saw tDK in imax i'd hate bale's batman "voice" even more as it was rumbling throughout my entire being. that's just how i roll.
Did everybody with any sense leave detRIOT? That the only way I can figure that Kid Rock, Eminem, and ICP can be considered heroes in a town once know as "detRIOT Rock City"
Fun Fact:
That song was written about a Kiss fan who died in a car crash on the way to a show. A goal that everybody in detRIOT should aim for
i think the tDK hype killed it for me. its an awesome movie. but batman's batman.
pirates suck hobo balls?
im not a fairweather fan. so im going to support the pirates no matter what. oh except next week when they play the dbacks hahha.
Yeah I don't get why Spongebob is on MTV. I barely even watch that channel anymore.
I have not honestly watch MTV for several years. Maybe a Movie or Music Awards or two. That's it. I can only foresee ONE way that MTV could ever get me to turn to their channel again . . .
. . . Bring back Undressed!
Jonny V, I went to the Pirates game so I made up the Stepbrothers story to set up my joke. Happens all the time.
It's really amazing how almost no one at the game is actually paying attention and are clearly there to socialize and get laid. It's like a giant night club.
I agree sh0ez!
all channels these days seem to go off-format. and since when are people surprised that MTV isnt showing a music video? they could be showing gay porn and.. wait, im sure they already do that.

No offense to you sh0ez but this is why the History Channel is an absolute joke. WTF does Batman armor have to do with History? This along with Ice Road Truckers, Tougher In Alaska, and AxMen have made that channel a complete joke.
French Revolution>>>>>>>>>>>Batman's Balls
I know it's not History. That's why I never watch the channel anymore. I used to watch it often. This and the Batman Unmasked shows were cool, though.
history channel weekday mornings can be awesome except even the plague gets boring when they've shown it for the millionith time. but gotta love me some history's mysteries.
re: History Channel
I'd rather watch original shows that have less to do about history (all the ones FH mentioned, modern marvels, etc.) than the same shit about hitler or world war 2. Don't get me wrong, I think ww2 is fascinating and its effect upon the world was almost impossible to overstate. I just don't think people are reinterpreting it so constantly that History Channel needs to re-do another d-day special every year. I mean the motives behind the american constitution has only been interpreted in a handful of different ways, and thats nearly 220 years old.
For example, I saw a show on Nikola Tesla the other day. It was incredible. I'd much rather see that than something about a popular topic that's been beaten to death. Although Band of Brothers is pretty kickass, when History does show that.
then again, i can't even tell if FH is even being serious.
HISTORYNERD.RANT.OVER.
"then again, i can't even tell if FH is even being serious."
Woooo, I'm like Andy Kaufmann.
Maybe this is just me, but there is nothing as fascinating as history. It's the ultimate reality show.
Paul, they have gone heavy on WW II in the past but there is an absolute endless amount of possible programming.
The Dark Ages
Ancient Rome
Imperial Japan
European Wars
It just goes on and on.
here he comes, here comes speed racer. hes a demon on wheels!
@FH:
I know there's tons of historical stuff they don't cover, that is legit and interesting and not-well known. That's my point, really, I'd rather hear about that kind of thing than something I've heard before about 20th century stuff. I'd rather watch shows about stuff I've never even heard of (ie, Tesla, although I've heard of him I didn't know much about him) than about what guys are doing dicking around in Alaska, but I'd take original programming over re-hashed stuff. In my opinion, current stuff needs to stay on the science channel or discovery (and for that matter, enough with fucking deadliest catch already. holy fucking christmas) and anything on history needs to be roaring 20s or earlier. There's no reason for me to pick this date, other than my amusement at the word 'flapper.'
Obviously, the solution for the business side of it is to get as many viewers as possible, fuck what people who actually are into history want. On that note, National Geographic Channel is pretty nifty, although I haven't watched too much of it.
I would pop such huge histoboners if any channel did a miniseries on 'history of sport' and went through each sport one by one. Too bad most people just want to watch Kornheiser and Wilbon fake-argue.
history channel will soon be showing re-runs of MTV shows from the 90's. im sure history channel 2 is on its way.
modern marvels: UGH!
Modern Marvels: Water
Paul, totally agree.
For example, I watched a 4 hour special on History International about the complete history of Russia from about 800 to the Russian Revolution. It was unreal.
No need to channel serf then?
...I hate myself.
apparently my inner nerd needs history international...as long as they don't show those stupid shows about UFOs and crap.
speaking of piss poor channels, scifi is showing anaconda 3 with david hasselhoff
speed racer the shows=fun to watch with friends.
speed racer the movie= joke.
just had to get that in there.
Also falling under the "joke" category is any movie that showcases shooting a "bending bullet" and tries to make it bad-ass.
FH comparing himself to Andy Kaufmann = the best description of him yet haha
I watched the History Channel this afternoon, as a matter of fact. They had a documentary of the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar. He made bin Laden look like a sunday school teacher. Hard to believe (ok not really) that joke rappers glorify him.
meecro, dont be jealous that you cant shoot the wings off of a fly.
@ paul
lolerz, that has to be one of the world's most underrated play-on-words.
