I have my own whopper lair

Dane Cook, talking about working at Burger King: "I didn't want to call it Burger King either, 'cause you know ... so, I used to call it the BK Lounge.
If the girls were like 'where do you work?', I was like, 'I work down at the BK Lounge, I'm a bouncer at the BK Lounge.'
'Can we get in?'
'Not without coups, not without coups, baby.'"

I find him to be really quite amusing. And a favourite quote from his story about the Kool-Aid jug: "I don't like that, I don't like when juice wears tights." He has great delivery, so unless you actually know how he's saying these things, it's likely not nearly as funny. I'd say about 67% less funny.

So anyway, I've applied to a few places and haven't yet heard back from any of them. I really hope to be hired by Hinks-Dellcrest, to work at "The Farm", near Heathcote (South of Meaford), but I'm not sure whether they were looking for someone long-term, which would put me out of the picture ...
I'm enjoying watching the Oilers rock up the post-season, and no, I'm not a bandwagoner. I actually have really liked them over the last couple of years. I'm cheering for Buffalo in the East, because I've always had a soft spot for them (not lessened by the fact that they drafted Dylan Hunter and Adam Dennis), and I definitely don't have one for the Canes. I do like Cam Ward and Staal, though. How could one not?
I'm glad the Leafs pulled Maurice up to be their head coach, and hopefully I'll be just as glad or moreso when the next season's over. Listening to him talk about what he expects from himself and his players makes me think he'll be good for the team, and I actually enjoy listening to him; he's got a dry wit, which I respect.

I hope 'whopper' isn't copyrighted ...

I can't cheer for Buffalo due to them having fruity Derek Roy on the roster... The Wonderdog, Kevyn Adams can kick his fruity butt... Go oil!

Maybe Paul Maurice will notice that Antropov is actually a loser in sheep's clothing and prompt mr ferguson to get rid of him...

Yeah, I have to agree with you about Antropov ... although I like him off the ice, it doesn't extend to the actual hockey portion of his existence. However, maybe having Maurice around to work him hard will allow him to finally realize his potential ... ???
I'm a bit skeptical, though.
