important question for mookieproof

are you watching sharknado or what?

lol i need to pay attention sorry

i did not watch sharknado as i do not have cable. i could torrent it, but i am v. bad about watching things. nevertheless, i approve of its existence.

atm i am v. disturbed by the recent judicial decision and nearly as much so by the fact that a close friend vehemently agrees with it

ugh, that's rough. how can it be?

now watching sharknado. so terrible and amazing!

#sharknado

mookie, how is your knee, much better i hope.

i haven't done anything about it : /

i mean, it's fine, i can walk okay, just not run

thank you for asking <3

i think about it quite often, i'm glad you can walk on it but can you get it more fixed up than that? or will it slowly heal on its own?

there are stories of ppl whose leg muscles were powerful enough to hold the knee in place, but i doubt i'm one of them at this point. and my left calf is behaving a little oddly.

i should almost certainly have surgery, which will require unprecedented insurance-navigating action on my part.

cat is mad cuddly, maybe because i was away for a couple days this week

he has bad breath and likes to knead my neck but i love him so much

<3

very important: happy birthday, mookie!!!

happy birthday mookie<3, i hope you get a special neck knead from your dear little cat.

happy birthday!

Happy birthday mp!

happy birthday, friend. i wish you would move here

thank u <3

mookieproof, today jergïns and i are going to to those hotsprings you tried to get to in the snow.

sweet! don't almost die like i did

At Sol Duc, or elsewhere? A lovely day for onsen.

i did not almost die though i felt like i might at times. shit is steep! i cannot imagine doing the trail in snow shoes!!! not even imagine it a little bit!!!!!

jaq: not sol duc, scenic hot springs, past sultan off highway 2.

i dreamt i somehow became embroiled in a suicide bombing plot devised by my department's marketing team, targeting the oprah winfrey show, the point of which i was never quite clear on. all involved, including all of marketing, plus me, plus mookieproof, were paired into teams of two per car, mookie and me in the lead.

after the pairing no one really talked to the other group members, except mookie wasn't here yet so i had nobody to talk to. i kept trying to tell people i had strong reservations but no one would listen. finally, when everyone was piling on the bus to go to the event i told my friend tammy i wasn't going to do it because i wasn't ready to die.

so they went without me, and i went to lingbert's apartment, where i continued working on the elaborate art piece i was making for my dad for christmas. lingbert asked me a million questions about it which, coming from anyone else would have been facetious, but from lingbert they were perfectly genuine.

it was a pretty bad dream but i still feel a little guilty for bailing on mookieproof.

;_;

yes.

to be be clear, mookie, you never actually appeared in the dream, so for all i know you bailed too.

no doubt i did : /

important question: happy birthday?

mokie professor

happy birthday. it's great to scroll up and see how many birthdays you've celebrated on the sandbox, through thick and thin.

thank you, students! xoxo

brought lyle home 10 years ago today

still miss him so much tbh

i still don't understand the emergency backup goalie

The NHL requires each home team to maintain a list of local non-professional goaltenders, available to either team, who can be used in the exceptional case that one or both of a team's normal goaltenders are injured or unavailable; such a goaltender who fulfills that role is treated as an emergency back–up goaltender.

Those on a team's emergency list are given free attendance to home games they are assigned and may also help out as a practice goalie. Emergency goalies are often called from nearby college teams, adult semi-pro/amateur leagues, or the home team's own coaching/facilities staff. If activated for a game, most emergency goaltenders only dress to sit on the bench, as a team's normal back-up takes over; only three emergency goalies have ever seen recorded playing time in an NHL game. Emergency goalies who are activated sign either an amateur or professional tryout contract.

this seems cumbersome. i prefer the baseball method of when you run out of pitchers in the 15th inning put in an outfielder who pitched when he was in high school.

Do they get paid or does nhl pitch this as an opportunity for "exposure" and a free ticket?

i think they just get free tickets, and like once every five or ten years lightning strikes and someone gets a chance to play in the nhl

i *kind* of agree with harbl, but every baseball player can throw and you don't need special equipment to pitch. also, it's just fun -- i mean some random 42yo dude just got to play in the best league in the world and helped win a game. that's pretty cool

it does give it more of a community feeling, it's true. i recall in the last article i read it said they give the guy $500.

i love this story

That's nice. They should definitely get paid!

haha they've sent the guy's stick to the hall of fame

<3

i love this story too
