Joe Elliot why?????Category: nhl

I will admit I'm a fan of Def Leppard so I'm a little bit upset. But my question is why have him there if he doesn't know what way the cup goes because that means he isn't a hockey fan or at least not enough of one to have seen The Cup before. Or maybe it was just a case of not knowing how heavy it really was and just wanting to put it down. If you don't care about the pictures and links here is the story but you won't be able to watch the video either from the box.
By Greg Wyshynski
The Detroit Red Wings may be feeling a twinge of embarrassment after their 3-2 home-opening loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, in which the Stanley Cup champions passed the puck like a remedial-level pee-wee team.
That is, until Def Leppard's Joe Elliott redefined the concept of embarrassment during one of their NHL Face-Off Rocks segments at the Fox Theater in Detroit. This is what you get for booking a band from England: Drive on the wrong side of the road, place the holiest of holy hockey grails on a pedestal upside down.
Epic, epic fail. Even Draper's kid had the good sense to poop in the thing right-side up.
This was the proverbial slow-motion car crash; like on "The Price is Right," when a contestant is about to put the $199 price tag on the tube of toothpaste and the crowd simultaneously shrieks "NO! NO!"
You saw him turn the Stanley Cup the wrong way, and you just wanted to reach through the television and flip it back before he put it down. If only someone on stage had helped him. Why couldn't the drummer have lent a ... bit of moral support?
Aw, shucks, we all make mistakes. We can't stay disappointed in a band that gave the world the arena rock magnificence of "Hysteria." Heck, the scene above wasn't even the most disturbing thing we saw on Versus tonight. This was:
NO! NO! This was the first time we had seen Brian Engblom this season, and the rumors were true: He cut and/or tamed the mullet! Say it ain't so, Swedish Muppet! This is like when your stoner friend gets a job at the bank and starts wearing short-sleeved dress shirts. Engblom chopping the mop is a harbinger of the death of hockey hair; thank god Nordy decided to keep business in the front and a party in the back.

Costume IdeasCategory: holiday
I doubt I will go but this year there is that huge Halloween Party at the Central Terminal. Not sure who's idea it was to not have it on the day of but I think it was a good idea. That way people with kids can still take them out or go to other parties. I have heard that some people get pretty creative. I guess if you know how to make stuff and have lot of money you can have some great costumes.
October 25th 2008

Some Ideas of mine:
-Nudest: that won't work for me but what if you got a bunch of people and got the bottom of a Hot air balloon and then you could be like in that car ad.
- Ryan Miller: All the clothes and Pads would cost a lot but if you all ready play hockey you might have some of it.
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL: A) Bring a Net
b) Have a buddy dress as another player trying to score
c) Have a puck in the glove and simulate playing goalie so it look like a glove save
-Dress as a Geisha but have that be the only thing you are wearing Have friends dress up as Japanese Business Men. If you have a talent do it as part of the get up.
-Roller Girls you can go as a real team or make one up the important thing is to have enough people that you can have to teams and you couldn't have a real bout but maybe chase each other around, assuming you all are good enough skaters
-Ninja and Samurai (yes often thought of as kids costumes) The key here is to practice your sword fight before hand so it looks legit.
TAKING IN UP A NOTCH: Making the out fit Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, TAKE UP ONE HIGHER add some friends as other GI Joe Characters.
-Show up with buddies as a Rock/Metal band say maybe Metallica or DethKlok. TAKING IT UP A NOTCH. Bring a TV and Rock Band Video Game and plug in someplace and play there songs
-Vampire, lot of people can come up with great looking costumes and a great look but if you have a hot female victim that should punch it up a bit
-Comic Book group and if you have enough people the people they fight. Yeah Showing up as say The Fantastic four but where is the Silver Surfer.
-Strippers: Yeah hot naked ladies and guys with money is all ways a great time but bring a pole a little radio of some kind to play songs and take turns
-Anime Group. (I'll admit I looked for some cosplay costume on line but the ones I liked where costly, plus you need hair and make up or a mask) How cool it be to show up a L, Kira, Misa Misa, and then have some tall dude as a shiromagi or people from a show like Bleach, Trinity Blood, Outlaw Star, Cow Boy bebop or any movies or TV show Animee.
-The Slutty costumes. Not really sure how to make all those dark angels and naughty nurses better or just girls in what is basicly underwear. Maybe a group of girls could go as Fredrick's of Hollywood models. Or maybe you could cover everyone in blood and they could look dead and then a big girl could come in covered in blood and she killed all those skinny bitches.
Then of course there is all ways Star Wars or other movie Characters, I think the key here is to have Enemies and do battles with each other or show up en masse as Say Storm Troopers and take over the party then later the good guys show up.
Hey just some crazy idea that I won't do, I'll do something simple and I think I'll get a costume today. Even though it is early hope everyone has a great halloween.

SABRESTYLE SET TO DEBUT AT HSBC ARENA

This isn't your typical Blue and Gold gear.
But that was the idea in creating SabreStyle.
Set to debut Friday, Oct. 10 at HSBC Arena for the team's season opener, the Buffalo Sabres' new and exclusive clothing line goes beyond sports apparel.
"It looks like something you would buy at the mall," Director of Creative Services, Frank Cravotta. "Our logos are hidden within the graphics so at first glance, it doesn't look like Sabres gear."
Introducing 14 pieces - for men and women - the theme is designed for a young demographic with fashion in mind, "as opposed to the collegiate style you see in the store now," Cravotta said.
The clothes are made of premium-quality, light-weight fabrics and feature tighter fits for long and short-sleeved t-shirts, hats and hooded sweatshirts. The graphics infuse the Sabres logo with some abstract designs.
"We used all of our logos and our identity as a starting point and then just kind of went wild with the graphics," Cravotta said. "The initial reaction has been really positive, not only internally from the employees but also from the players who have been involved."
Forwards Ales Kotalik, Jochen Hecht, Patrick Kaleta and Adam Mair were among those who modeled the look, as well as defenseman Nathan Paetsch.
"I like it," Paetsch said. "It's something you would buy not only to support your team, but just to wear. It's fashionable and something you would actually get at a store.
"It's quite innovative and I'm sure a lot of young people are going to take to it. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it made for a sports team."
Prices are as low as $25 and are available exclusively in the Sabres Store at HSBC Arena . Quantities are limited and are only offered for a short time.
"We're calling it an exclusive line and a limited edition because it really is that," Cravotta said. "It's a short, run and the pieces will only be produced for this year so you're not going to come back in the store next year and get it. Each year we'll update it with the latest fashion and looks."
SabreStyle is also the first of it's kind among major sports teams.
"As far as we know... no one has tried this yet," Cravotta said. "There are some clear and popular styles out there that are not represented in our store and as far as we know, in any team store. It seemed to make sense that we have a popular brand and clear identity and if we can somehow merge the two into fashion that our younger crowd is wearing with our mark and our look, it would make a lot of sense.
"This is a whole new avenue to explore."
The Sabres Store is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. as well as during all Sabres home games. For more information, call (716) 855-4140.
But Part of the problem is I didn't have bateries for my camera so I didn't take it to work so that I could go and then hand out or eat downtown someplace. Plus I'm still waiting for my adult and some other pictures in the mail. So my plan was to just watch the game at home.
The plan started out great I had my Dortios and Bagel Bites, Yummy and some cold drink I was good. The game was tied and I even saw that when the game was over I could Watch Faulty Towers (never seen it only a best of show, John Clease before Monty Phython) then Clone Wars on cartoon network and then Bill Maher. To bad I passed out during the 2nd period but other then that it was a great plan. I did catch Bill this moring before I went to the bank.
On my way to the bank I saw something Near spot. My first thought was did someone spill coffee on them selves. My next thought was I wonder if a biker got hit didn't see a car though, so maybe it was something serious I'm guessing someone homeless needed help cause everyone was sitting around and the firetruck and ambulance where blocking what was going on. Little further down I saw (e:Jim) and (e:James) walking with I assume their dog, thiing looked huge from the bus, hope it was a fun walk. I wasn't sure what movie I was going to see there are a few of them I wanted to. I saw "Blindness" I thought it was good and weird. With out giving anything away it is an epidemic of blindness, but not being able to see but where you see all light. Then as most epidemic movies go there is like a quarentene part. I'm more of an action myself but I also do like movies like this. Yes there is some nice nudity in it, but I also like movies that deal with humanity like this. Yeah some parts of the movie where dark, some where shot normal and then some where almost all white. Sometimes it felt like a movie one would watch on Sundance or IFC. I wonder if it was based on some Asian Horror movie from years ago? If you liked either of the 28 days movies you might like it. I think I may go see that Bill Maher movie on Monday.
I was going to go get a costume at Party City but decided to wait until Monday because a preview I saw gave me an idea for a New Costume. I came home and found one place to get the costume but it was way to much going to do a little bit more searching over the weekend I hope. Here is the movie:

That is right the 2nd Death Note Movie. The previews look pretty awesome. Now I just have to decide if I should go Wens. or Thurs. I'm thinking Thurs. (I wanted to go as a Shirgomi) But it is tough because I know I'm going to be pretty tired all week because at work we will need to do 5 days of work in 4 days. Hope everyone has a great long weekend.
Waving from the bus with closed windows and doors would have been tough On my part also, hope the walk was fun, or productive if there was a reason for the walk other then just to walk.
Had we known we would have waved Peter.
Hey, its an honest mistake I can belive in. LOL
No picking on the right way to drive!!!!
