The Da ko ta ejection seat

Well it would appear the powers that be have changed their minds and I will be getting the little Dakota 4x4. Now, the only misgivings I have are that the truck has now been nicknamed "The Ejection Seat." Why has it been nicknamed this? Well probably because everyone who drives it ends up getting let go. First Murray in Regina and then Brian. So maybe I better start working on my golf game now. The funny thing is that when I heard about this, the first thing that popped into my mind was "man wouldnt it be great to get laid off before summer".

It has been so long since I have been able to enjoy a summer. For the most part because I am in the Fire and Flood business. And... well... summer is when the proverbial shit always hits the fan. And thus I usually spend July just trying to keep my head, and a few houses above water. Bla Bla Bla....Anyways I got the truck this morning, and am gonna spend some time cleaning it up. Brian was a smoker, and well, if you dont know, I am an avid Anti-smoker, so I am gonna need to steam clean the interior and then tomorrow stick an ozone machine in there for a couple hours just to get that damn smell out.

Only two more things to talk about of any importance. I came in third last night at the poker tournament. There was an unusually light turnout due to the hockey games, but I still managed to collect $285, not to shabby for a good night out. And more than makes up for my "bad" poker night with Fysh and Jenna a few weeks back.

On the Hockey front, the Flames won last night. I did not see much of the game, but am happy that they won. But more importantly the Oilers beat Detroit in double overtime. Unfortunately the "regular time" game was not on the CBC because of the Calgary, Anaheim game but the "overtime" periods were. I will talk about this CBC thing tomorrow. Anyway, Edmonton vs Detroit in Overtime. A shot gets fired from the left side of Roloson, at a sharp angle. He has his net covered. His body is tightly up against the post, and his skate is pressed hard agains the post. Unlike the other night when it was not, and a puck managed to get kicked inbetween him and the post, but that is another story. The puck comes at the net, and then all of a suddent the light flashes and Detroit starts to strut around the ice. Meanwhile Rolo, is staring at the net going, "What the fuck, there is no way that went it"

It goes upstairs and the video starts to fly. What happened? The puck went under the side of the net. Yup thats right under the side of the freaking net. The officials take a look at the net, and there is like a bend in the bottom of the net, with a clear two inches for any meandering terrorist puck to find its way into the innocent Edmonton Goal. What term came out of last nights hockey game. "Net Malfunction" Thats what they called it. So go update you dictionary. Net Manlfunction is when you have a bloody bent goal frame, hidden by padding, and allowed to be put into a Stanley Cup Playoff Game. IDIOTS lol
