The All-Star game is this weekend, and like every year I'm actually looking forward to it. It's so easy to just pawn off any all-star competition as an all-hype event where millionaires show up to compete at 1/3 the pace, skill and ability, all of which, I may add, are true. But there's something different about the NHL's weekend that makes it actually bearable watchable. Besides the fact that not one single player in the game will be fat, the chief difference is that in the NHL All-Star game, the players actually seems to have fun being there and participating. In other sports' "all-star" games, you see the faraway looks in the players eyes as they realize that by being there they had to turn down an opportunity to have sex with Mariah Carey. With hockey players, the dialogue is more like this:
"Oh geez. Hey, man, what's happening?"
"Ah, nothin."
"How're ya gonna beat Brodeur in the skills competition?"
"Oh, I dunno. Just gotta put the puck to the net, and see what happens."
"Yeah, I hear ya. Just gotta go hard for 60 minutes."
"Yeah"
"Hey, how's your Mum?"
Etc, etc. You know, you can't blame them for that. Life is hard playing hockey in the NHL, what with all of the modesty and children's hospital visiting. The fact is, we're the luckiest fans in the world. The fact that Mats isn't in the game notwithstanding.

Speaking of which, hey, how's your Mum?
New skill contest: Yo momma fight!
Now THAT shows promise
/not really
hey loser domi: I love the idea of a Yo Momma competition. Here's one for Greener.
Greener, Yo Momma so old she died in May of 2000.
@Loser-Domi: Yo Momma got so much hair on her chest that her Breasts remind me of Coconuts
yo Momma so short you can see her feet on he driver's license
@ anyone: yo momma so cold they don't need a Zamboni she just looks at water and it freezes
yo mama's so ugly, when she was a baby they had to put a pork chop round her neck to get the dog to play with her.
yo momma so fat, Jabba the Hut said "DAYYYYYMN!"
Yo mama's so fat, when she puts on a red shirt people yell "Hey Kool-Aid!"
Yo mama's teeth so yellow, when she yawns, traffic slows down.
your momma's so tiny she can hang-glide off of a Dorito!
Yo mama's so nasty, she gotta sneek up on bath water.
What's the difference between yo mommma and gas prices?
Gas prices keep going up on the public, your momma keeps going down on the public.
Yo mama's like the city bus, all you need is 1.50 to ride.
yo momma's like a Happy Meal--cheap, small, and greasy
yo momma's like a hardware store: 5 cents a screw
hoo boy, that was fun. Took me back to middle school, man. Jared, I'm sorry for talking so much shit about your mom. I didn't mean anything (although is there really a lack of material? :P)
No worries LD, I think I gave as good as I took.
