Unrelated: LUEser

This is published post #42. For those of you who don't know, this number is very important. It is the answer to life the universe and everything. As to what the question is, nobody really knows.

This is the point in time where I recommend Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, either the book or the radio broadcast, not the movie. So rarely does one find a piece of literature so optimistic and joyful while being entrenched in nhilistic absurdist philosophy (save for maybe Vonnegut, but even still he's much darker). At least as optimistic and joyful a book can be while still having earth destroyed within the first hundred or so pages.

The book series is chaos theory start to finish, where the random and the insanity get set to the march of Humanity. When humanity gets boiled down to its simplest form it gets exposed for how silly it all is. It's what good observational humor does and HHG2G has some of the best around. In it it explains why a miracle fish disproves god's existence by proving his existence, how the universe has a population of zero, and the importance of telephone sanitizers.

Is there a point to this blog other than me saying to read a book series I've been enthralled with since a kid? No. Do I wish I could do a better tribute to it? Yes. But sometimes I just need to let  it be.

AHL Twitter Wars: Celebrities, Smackdown and NHL 16 ratings

Figured I would check in with AHL Twitter to see how things were going. Any new chirps, or beefs? Anything of interest? Ok, so the Hamilton Bulldogs keep talking up something. They've been scorned by the AHL and re-aligned with the OHL, lets see how they're handling the transistion...




Yup, that is a burn and  half. That's the equivalent of breaking up with someone and then the next day they have new arm candy that happens to be a model / astrophysicist. "Fine, you don't want us in the AHL? Whatever, we still got Tom Hanks and Martin short doing promotional bits for us."

Wait... You mean the Bulldogs are really St. Johns now, and the Ontario Team is just some old OHL team renamed? Why is this all so complicated!?!

Anyway, obligatory Hartford Wolf Pack / Springfield Falcons.




Admittedly, I had a hand in this one, but they took the ball and ran with it. But Springfield, what are you doing? You have a video saying vs Hartford games don't sell as well as vs Providence! That's when you chirp back with  something like "It's cute how Hartford thinks its a rival when they don't sell as well. #irrelevant" or something like that. Instead your response is...




But that's fine, it works. It basically says "We'll do our talking on the ice. We're coming for you."  Which is good. Certainly better than how the Checkers and Ice Caps "Smack talk"




What I left out was all the talk about who had better fried chicken. No. Seriously.

Clean it up guys.

I know I talk about how much the Crunch fight, but it seems like most of the Phantoms countdown images involve fights...







Oh, and #isitoctoberyet memes and gifs keep flying in.




And with the release of NHL 16, there were a lot of tweets going out about that. The best is the following exchange:




I'm sure there were more highlights I'm missing but they got drowned out in a lot of rookie tournament action going

Tickets Starting to Go on Sale

This is just a quick little reminder, tickets are starting to go up on sale. I know as of writing this, Providence Bruins are up on Ticketmaster, Hershey Bears are up, Senators are up, Barracuda, I haven't gone through all of them, but they definitely aren't all up. (Gulls, Utica, Falcons, Wolfpack, Bridgeport are all absent)

The other thing that is starting to come out are the theme days. I'll get into my opinions on theme days more in depth, what ones to go for, teams with the best theme days and so forth as the stuff comes in. But the main point of this is just to let people know to start checking out your local teams for tickets this weekend. All of the fun stuff is coming soon and I'll be there complaining about it all in one way or another.

Ra-Ra. More real blogs to come this is just kinda filler until I have more information.
