Sometimes You Just Gotta Woooooo

For an August day, this post is almost as packed full as Bruce Boudreau at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
 

Coming up after the jump:
  • A party with the Stanley Cup
  • Brooks Orpik's good deed
  • A meeting of the minds
  • The NHL 10 demo
  • Laughing at others
  • Pierre McGuire is a douche
  • More Summer of Woo pictures
  • An idiot breaks up with some guy
  • And more!
 
 

Hoooooo

"I was at the Columbus Clippers game (the Cleveland Indians AAA affiliate) in Columbus, Ohio on August 14th. At this game Hacksaw Jim Duggan not only threw out the first pitch (a strike) but he was signing autographs throughout the game. Somewhere around the 6th inning and my 5th beer I decided that 24 was not too old to stand in line and get an autograph from an American legend.

When I got up to Hacksaw he asked me who I wanted the autograph made out to. I said, "Could you possibly write 'Go Pens'?" He looked at me like I was an idiot, which is probably appropriate. Anyway, I told him about his almost cult-like following among Penguins fans due to your site and how his picture was a go to picture before games. He told me he was not aware of it but that he was flattered and would definitely check out the site to see for himself. He asked me for the name of the site twice so hopefully he remembers. He also thought it was hilarious. So, he did sign my picture "Go Pens" only he had already written "To" when he asked for my name, so technically it says "To Go Pens" but it's close enough.

All in all he seemed very happy to have a following in such a random fanbase and was an extremely nice guy. Naturally after he signed we took a picture together giving the thumbs up which is probably the single greatest accomplishment of my life."

Are traditional means of keeping track of the date too cumbersome and confusing?
Would you rather just guess the date than try and figure it out using boring old methods?
Do you have no idea what's going on or what day it is?
 

Well, all of your problems are now solved.
