That cartoon reminds me...Saturday night...

That cartoon reminds me...Saturday night I took my son to the Chicago Blackhawks @ Nashville Predators game in Nashville.

During the breaks in the action, they typically will play loud music and show shots of specific members of the crowd on the big screen on the scoreboard atop center ice.

He ended up being a contestant in the "fan of the game" contest. When they threw his picture up again...the chorus of boos resumed.

Some cute girl holding up a sign saying, "Don't mess with my TOOTOO" (referring to Jordin Tootoo) won it. And yes, I did catch that his jersey number is also two - two.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
