"Priceless"

Price is still passed out on my couch from last night. I have been up for two hours now. We may or may not have to throw his lifeless body to the floor for scary movie night next week. Again I might need help from my netflix buddys for this one. Of course if you are reading this post first, it doesn't make much sense.

"Scary Movie Night: Oct 21"

Scary Movie Night will take place on Saturday October 21st at my apartment. I am thinking 8ish. The idea is pretty simple we sit at my apartment and two back 2 back scary movies. I am trying to get them off of Netflix as soon as i can. But I might need help from one of my netflix buddies for the 3rd opition I have planned. I figure we would have 3 to pick our two from. Honestly, I wanted to go with a bolder move and choice supposed scary movies that I have never seen. Which could end up in another nightwatch night. But anway here are the options. Why don't you rank them, since there is a good chance I won't get one in time from my netflix cycle for Saturday. At least not without the aid of a netflix buddy.

In addition to the movies, Rick should be bringing his pumpkin beer.

1.
The Changeling
Director Peter Medak's haunted-house tale stands as one of the most chilling stories to make it to the big screen. When composer John Russell (George C. Scott) loses his wife and daughter in a car wreck, he seeks solace by renting a secluded estate outside Seattle. But the mansion is haunted by the presence of a child who died there more than 80 years ago. Now, Russell must find out who that child was, and why there seems to be a cover-up now.


2.Ghost Story
Four New England octogenarians -- the self-styled "Chowder Society" -- have harbored a terrible secret for half a century. But their Pandora's box of subterfuge is about to have the lid ripped off. Starring Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and John Houseman, this modern ghost story packs chills and indelible performances from a clutch of Hollywood valedictorians.

3. Dawn of the Dead
Picking up where Night of the Living Dead left off, this classic horror flick from director George Romero begins with zombies taking over every major city in the United States. Running for their lives, Peter (Ken Foree), Roger (Scott Reiniger), Stephen (David Emge) and Frances (Gaylen Ross) find refuge in a remote shopping mall, only to discover they must fight a motorcycle gang as well as the undead ghouls.


The last one is the original from the 70's, and yeah its sequel but I'm sure it doesn't matter much. It has zombies.

Anyway, thanks for everyone that came out last night to Sharkeys. Thanks big time to sara for all the shots. Happy Birthday by the way. Of course she doesn't read my blog, so...

ps... It's going to be spooooooooooooooooooooooky!

"PLANE CRASH IN NYC!"

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/10/11/D8KMKFBO2.html

NYPD said there is no reason to think this would be an act of Terroism. Too early to tell for sure though i guess. Two have been confirmed dead.

"Show Me the Sway"


So, after the huge crowd left the Eagles Stadium they were put into a huge panic because they said the whole building started to sway. Some fans thought it was an earthquake and began to panic and push and shove to fight for their lives.

Lincoln Financial has basically shrugged it off. Saying, nah don't worry about it. I am sure thousands of people thinking they were going to be burried to death in the rubble of our stadium after it started shaking didn't see nuttin.

If there is one thing I have learned that Governments and Companies never lie. So, I am sure there is nothing to this at all. Fans should just forget this non-sense and buy tickets to the next birds game as the stadium fills to near illegal (if not illegal) capacity.

Forget this non-sense about this building swaying! Check out the link to 6ABC (WPVI)

"Thanks One and All"

Thanks for everyone that came out for the Tucker's World Flyers event last weekend. I hope if I word this vaguely it will sound a lot cooler to the people didn't go. Anyway thanks to Ed who left enough beer here to keep me stocked for a month, not to mention to be able to have the choice of the beer I desire. Oh, yeah and thanks for Tom for bring his female friend (who's name I alway forget) so it wasn't a 100 percent sausage party. Anyway, as all of you should know my birthday is Friday (the 13 th oooooo spooky!).

Oh yeah, anyway I think I am going to have people go up to Sharkey's Friday night. Also, continue the Keith is actually single for his birthday weekend bash by going to America's favorite playground Atlantic City on Saturday. I would like to go down early Saturday, but would meet up with people who want to go later some place. If I am not naked wearing a barrel at that point.


Oh yeah. Dr. Who fans Drew told me Dr. Who is on at 8pm on Friday now, so that makes it still early after the show to come on up. I don't expect to go there till 10pm anyway. Also, Sharkeys is a lot more fun in the cold weather months people actually go there. So, at this point I am leaning towards doing that for Friday night, unless someone could think of something better to do. But I think since its close to most people and cheap it will cater to most people. I won't mind going to the city, but I just don't see that happening.

"Oh, Puck Linda Cohn!"

This link here is a hockey article from ESPN's website. I could not disagree with this woman anymore.

She is basically begging the NHL to start the season 3 weeks later and making the season shorter. This would be to appear to the casual fans who usually don't bother to start watching hockey untill after the Super bowl.

I am a die hard fan and follow the wonderful world of hockey all year round. Including the off season free agents moves, and trades.

Yeah, I do agree with her that hockey is a "niche" sport, but behind the fact at work I struggle to find someone to talk hockey with, there is no drawbacks to it. I love my sport, I love everything about it. I don't care about some asshole in the bible belt that doesnt wants to watch college sports all, a bunch of schools he never went to mind you.

I am so sick of people in the NHL and that write about the NHL, saying they should kiss the ass of the casual fan or joe idoit who is watching NASCAR each weekend so they watch the sport and beef up ratings. I am so sick of people trying to change the game and screw the die hard fans to impress the popular kids who are all at the football and baseball parties.

Linda Cohen, you stupid bitch, its dumb ideas like you that resulted in the glowing puck. It the hardon for wanting to be a "big boy sport" that almost ruined the sport. So, what its a niche sport that means its fans are hard core. Attendence was up big time last season. So, team are making money. There isn't NFL money in the TV rights the game, and there never will be. There wont be ever. Get over it. Even if the season is just two weeks, and players get voted off each week.

If you want to stir this wonderful sport back into an iceberg like lock out, than go ahead and keep watering down the game with more commericals and pull more casual fans in. Yeah, go ahead and thumb your nose at all the fans that came back after lockout for a game the loved so much they couldn't stay mad at it.

For me the season starting when it does is just fine. Summer ended, my baseball team is eliminated it's perfect. But this dumbass thoery would have me wait almost another month and have less hockey to watch. All for what? In hopes that I could get a hockey buddy at the watercooler?

I don't hate the casual fan, in fact I welcome him a board when he joins the party half-way through the season or in many cases in the playoffs. I fill him on the story leading up to the greatest playoffs in sports.

Making less games would just give the owners a reason to jack up the prices and put the screws on the real fan base. A month shorter? That is what about 15 games? How about no games when Lost is on? Or if they play they just take an hour break so everyone can watch it?

Linda, maybe Forsberg can some over and cook dinner for a non-hockey watching family during that extra month he will have off? Or Sidney Crosby can show up a frat-houses and teach all the guys doing kegs stands what a blue line is.

Hockey fans become fans by being converted by other fans. Very few of them are just mindlessly flipping channels and say. Hey, the sport on ice I never watched. It was sure nice of them to stat the season later to cater to me. I think I am going to watch!

If all the sports fans the only watch the NFL package and don't know who the hell Alexander Ovechkin is were jumping off the Saddledome roof, would you Linda?

"The Big Chill"

The first real blast of cold air is on the way this coming weekend. Highs only in the mid-50s and lows in the 30s on Saturday. Temps will stay chilly for a few days. Many early predicitions have a cold winter instore for the Tri-state area.

People are saying PA will get a good deal of snow. I have seen us under the cold and dry, and cold and wet predicitons. On the other hand other people think El Nino will make it a mild winter. So, its really early to say right now, but I would say the majority predicitons I have seen tend to favor a really nasty winter this year. Even some going as far to say the worst in over 10 years for the Northeast, including the gardenstate.

Hard to imgaine, but soon it will be winter storm blogs on here.

"Checkmate"

The day before the Philadelphia Flyers lost to the New York Rangers, Flyers forward was asked how to frustrate Ranger superstar Jaromir Jagr. Keep in mind the two were teamates.

"When you sleep with his girlfriend. That frustrates him most. We've got to go and find her"

Flyers ended up losing the game in the shootout. They play the Rangers again on Tuesday in NYC.
