Cancer Sticks and Hockey Sticks
The best part of last nights game was watching a whole stadium of home town Vancouver fans go home sad. Beaten in their own backyard. See ya Bertuzzi. So long Jarkko Ruutu. Hazah! I feel it hard to write about anything else this morning as I am still high and tired from watching last nights glorious victory.

Atari is coming back.

The new issue of Modern Drunkard has arrived and as the Washington Post reports the final Clash of the Tightest: History’s Greatest Drunks Square Off, will be…”with comedian/drunk Jackie Gleason facing poet/drunk Charles Bukowski in a championship drinking bout with play-by-play narration by sportscaster/drunk Howard Cosell and actor/drunk Sir Laurence Olivier .” It’s sure to be an epic match. Read the semi finals here.
