I’m back! With food!

Hey folks,

It’s been a while, huh? I’ve missed you! Hope you’ve missed me too.

Here we are, the playoffs on the horizon, and I’ve got some special hockey-things in store for you! But first…

GROSS FOOD: SPRING BREAK 2010 EDITION:

This is a superdawg from Chicago. Relish, onions & mustard. I mean no disrespect to Nathan’s Famous, but superdawgs make the clouds part. Just look at it! Can you hear the angels singing?

Beer-shaped cheese! It’s like I died and went to Wisconsin! Oh. Actually, it was Wisconsin.

The butter burger from Solly’s. There are no words to describe it, folks. And finally…

No, not that Wolski. But a girl can pretend, right?

(Many thanks to my adventurin’ pal, Sandy, for the good times. Looking forward to that Gross Foods: Summer Break 2010 Buffalo Edition.)

Introducing the 2009-10 Rosen’s Nosens!

Being relatively new to hockey, I hadn’t ever seriously considered starting my own fantasy team. But when MAKO from Rangers Report started a league specifically for us Boneheads, I figured I was ready to give it a try. Thus was born The Sam Rosen’s Nosens!

We had our live draft last night to distract us, fortunately, from the Baby Rangers losing the first game of the preseason. And I think I did pretty well! For the most part I stuck to my drafting strategy (can you find it?), departing only for my hometown hero, a few others, and when I had no choice.

Without further ado, the Nosens:

Center:
Dubinsky (first round pick)
Pavelski
Grabovski

Left Wing:
Ponikarovsky
Korpikoski (AKA The Korpedo)

Right Wing:
Brown (Ithaca pride)
Byfuglien (henceforth known as Byfuglienski)
Orr

Defense:
Rafalski
Goligoski
Wisniewski
Rivet (my only Sabre)

Goal:
Valiquette
Niittymaki

Bench:
Brind’Amour (AKA Rod the Bod)
Umberger
Modano
Langkow (who?)

Reflections: I think I should have tried to draft a goalie much sooner. Would have loved Lundqvistski, obviously, and Khabibulinski would have been acceptable too. Nothing against Vally or Niiittymakiski, it’s just that, combined, they won 20 games last year. To be honest, I’m fully aware that this is a last place team… with some first place names.

Lets go Nosens!

M is for Mullet

And once again I’d like to thank my astute roommate, Nate, for pointing out that it’d be funnier if M was for Melrose. Unfortunately, Jagr is just more fun to draw.

L is for Losers

Happy Hockey Season, Everybody!

Heads up! The Sean Avery Flowchart is up exclusively at Rangers Report, home of the famous Carp’s Boneheads. Please check it out! And thanks to Linda for her advice and awesomeness.

Sign Dubi and LETS GO RANGERS!

Enjoy.

Daily Dose of Adorable! (Updated)

Here are the kittens, catnapping on my new blanket:

These silly guys are both working on some posts about the upcoming season. Also coming soon (for reals!) the letters L, M, and N.

And Dubinsky’s not losing any sleep over his contract situation. Wish I could say the same!

Update: More on my favorite Obviously Monster from Newsday.

Guest Post Fun!

The fabulous Wrap Around Curl has kindly allowed me to post on her blog while she’s away roadtripping! Ooo a chance to dork out on someone else’s blog! Check it out please and thanks!

K is for King Henrik

Long live the King!

Look Familiar?

Team USA’s new 3rd jersey! Can’t quite figure out what, but it reminds me of something…

Will this be enough to make me root for Team America?
