I need to go to TJ's. mmm... calamari... I went to Meijer today - half expected to run into you and you mom.

Tomorrow's Kroger day for me (grapes are on sale), and maybe a run to TJ's. Hopefully, tomorrow will be game-winning-hangover recovery day.

What a night to have a 10 to 11 pm conference call. And too bad the leader never called in. The crowd in the stands looked less than thrilled that the Wings won.

Very Very Very Happy this morning on Snowshoe Circle!!!!!

The crowd in the stands looked less than thrilled that the Wings won.

That what my DH and I were thinking too...did they play at Joe Lewis Arena? We were at TGI Fridays and I was trying to read the name of the arena...but couldn't.

DH is from Detroit...so ANY team from there is the best!:love: I missed the final score. I just saw the replay over and over with the goalie that sat on the puck and it ended up a goalie...I felt bad for him. Of course, my DH said "that's the game!"

 

[chefann]

They were in Pittsburgh last night. There was a LOT of celebrating last night, but from the reports on the news this morning, people were well-behaved. The championship shirts are in stores already.

Better than Wisteria Way?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

The championship shirts are in stores already.

That's because they were all printed a month ago.

The Pittsburgh championship shirts are on their way to several third world markets, where they will be sold for next to nothing. Travelers often report going into the bush and seeing kids wearing t-shirts that say things like "Green Bay Packers NFL Champions 2007" or "New England Patriots Superbowl Champions 2008."

So did this mishap lose the game?

Okay, now it makes sense about the crowd. I'm glad the people in Detroit are behaving...

Last night while watching the news they said something about the red wings & I asked Larry what did they say...did they win? He said when did you start following hockey? I said the girls on the msg board have been talking about it & they are for the red wings. He rolled his eyes - lol. Hockey pretty much has no following in Arkansas so it surprised him that I even knew. We had two different arena hockey teams but they didn't make it. Good note though one of my friends met & married one of the players from Canada that was on one of our teams. He now teaches it somewhere at a skate place.

Based on what Meredith Vieira said this morning, I have even less respect for her now (taking it negative, if that's even possible). They mentioned the win, and she made some lame comment about "They even did it on skates!" Apparently she doesn't realize that most of those players were practically born with skates on their feet. What an idiot.

 

[finley1991]

Meredith sucks. The Today Show has not been the same since she joined. I don't miss Katie but I don't like Meredith.Detroit fans are the best! And classy!

Why do you even watch the drivel?My outlook on life improved immensely when I turned that crap off in the morning.

 

[chefann]

I don't usually have it on purposely, but DH leaves the TV on when he leaves for work. And that's the channel it's usually on because it's our preferred local news (the others are "Detroit's Homeliest News Team" and "Find Out What's Killing You!!").

That's the way it works at our house too. If DH has to leave for work early - I don't turn the TV on....

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

LOL - We have a reporter on one of the locals who is obviously using her stint at this whistle stop to try to get to the networks - as many have done from here. Her name is Ashley Barry, and whenever she signs off, she always emphasizes the first sylable, "ASHHHHH-ley Barry" to the point that both The Kat Lady and I sign off with her - saying in unison, "ASHHHHH-ley Barry..."

There was a comedian on Last Comic Standing tonight joking about the same thing..."Third world kids have never heard of the Yankees or the Lakers. But, man, are the Buffalo Bills popular!"
