One thing we like more than anything is hate mail.
We haven't got anything worth posting in a while.

Until over the weekend. An old friend came calling.

The Hindenburg you see above is the the beloved former national anthem singer of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Back in the '70s, Smith would sing "God Bless America" and then salute the crowd by eating a hamburger in one bite. She was like 82-0 or something as an anthem singer.

To sum it up, she was the equivalent of the way we feel about Jeff Jimmerson.

So, of course we've taken many shots at Kate Smith over the years.
And one guy in particular continues to be really upset about it.

His name is Fred Benson, and he went as far as to e-mail the head of Bloguin to complain about it last year. He has laid low, until all of a sudden:

 

 

Good times. WOW.

Go Pens.

Whoa! That is ossum, made my day

On a side note, one thing I was thinking, a cool nhl10 or whatever game mode would be you play a 15 game season or whatever, and each game you play with the roster of a Penguins team from a different year. In sequential order, arranging lineups from each era of hockey history, until the end of the season, in playoff form, nears the current season's roster.

I am thinking in mind's upper atmosphere of recent

#16 Chewy 2010-03-10 00:08
So I go and check out her wikipedia page, and apparently she was comfortable with being a blob and the Flyers fan acknowledged the same:

Kate's broad figure made her an occasional object of derision from fellow performers and managers; however, in her later career, some Philadelphia Flyers hockey fans (see Kate Smith statue below) lovingly said about her performances before games, "it ain't BEGUN 'til the fat lady sings!" Smith, who weighed 235 pounds at the age of 30[1] was unfazed, and titled her 1938 autobiography Living in a Great Big Way. She credited Ted Collins, who also gave her the break into the radio business, with helping her overcome her self-consciousness, writing, "Ted Collins was the first man who regarded me as a singer, and didn't even seem to notice that I was a big girl,"[2] She noted, "I'm big, and I sing, and boy, when I sing, I sing all over!"

Apparently she was known for singing a racist song also:Quote:
Her musical career began in earnest when she was discovered by Columbia Records vice president Ted Collins in 1930, who became her longtime partner and manager and who put her on the radio in 1931. She sang the controversial top twenty song of 1931, "That's Why Darkies Were Born".


Sometimes I sing the national anthem at sporting events so I guess that makes me a patriot too!

I would love to see a Kate Smith photoshop contest if one hasn't already been done!

Somebody just typed terrorists and communists into the search engine. I wonder if this tool even realizes Hamas isn't a person and is an organization. Probably not seeing as e listed it as a player. Maybe somebody should pick up a newspaper and stop watching FOX, no?

just edited the wiki

Kate Smith, who never married, presumably because she was so fat, died of diabetes (also, presumably due to extreme obesity) in 1986 in Raleigh, North Carolina, several years after converting to Roman Catholicism. Her remains are interred in a private mausoleum at Saint Agnes Cemetery in Lake Placid, Essex County, New York. In 1999, she was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

According to Wikipedia (which is never wrong), Kate Smith died in 1986. I'll just assume it was from sort of turkey or ham hock lodged in her throat.

Regardless, how prescient of her to become patriotic and sing "God Bless America" to defeat the terrorists years before they actually started BEING terrorists.

In fact, I'm PRETTY SURE Pudgy McPudgerton was singing this song right around the time Reagan was funding those fucks to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.

So, by this logic, the man whose trickle down shitty economics yet foresight to force the Russians to self implode due to rampant military spending is a super terrorist while the woman single handedly responsible for putting Old Country Buffet on the map is Philadelphia's gift to freedom?!

Someone send me a Flyer's jersey. If this is the best those fans have to offer, I could be running that damn town by the end of the month.

See, if they would've put her in net, we wouldn't have scored all those goals after Talbot's fight. Even better, if she would've sat on Max, no "Shhhhhh." Bad management from the Flyers overall.

I wasn't aware that there were any Americans that play for the Flyers. Really, there might be a couple, but to champion one country's national pride whilst rooting for a bunch of foreigners is somewhat contradictory, don't you think?

And as for the proposed line combinations, I'm all for an all commie line! Those dudes know how to play hockey! And just because they don't have ice in most terrorist countries doesn't mean they can't skate. I'll bet Osama is wicked in the corners.

President, I stand corrected. I'm only going off of what some of my friends have told me about the Middle Eastern conference. Call me old-fashioned, but I typically stick to the Eastern and Western conferences. Goddamn expansion ruins everything. I think a few of Saddam's kids play for the Baghdad Burners in the MEC, and they did win the Prince of Persia trophy before falling to the Dubai Bedouins in a first round upset. Maybe we could see if they're interested in taking less money and playing for a contender? Make the call, Shero.

He is like Lois Griffin from the one episode of Family Guy when she ran for mayor. I do not consider Jaba the Hut a Patriot for signing a song that is not out national anthem. The only thing I would consider her for would be the hotdog eating contest that those asians keep winning.

If Gonchar is paired with Hamas, that opens the door for a huge spike in too many men penalties. We'd never hear the end of it from Edzo. I say Shero should spend some money and go after Goebbels; he's a highly underrated defender - think Rob Scuderi with a more physical edge.

Kim Jong-Il is past his prime and would do nothing to help our top 6.

Osama Bin Laden has health problems and is unofficially retired, or at least that's the rumor I read from Eklund.

Shero would not waste his time on Fidel Castro. He's been retired for several years.

Jeremiah Wright would be a good agitator. I hear the man can talk a lot, but without a scouting report on him it's hard to say whether I'd want him on the team or not.

The Ayatollah would give Dupuis and Talbot good competition for the biggest playoff beard. But I don't think he'd produce, considering he's been dead for two decades.

Ahmadinejad? Not interested. I hear the guy is a locker room cancer and just an outright asshole in general.

I'm not excusing Heatley for what he did, but at least his BAC was below the legal limit. Lindbergh hit a wall at an elementary school with a .24 BAC.

When you're up in the .2's, you're looking at blackout city, loss of consciousness and possible loss of bodily functions. I'd be willing to bet that his BAC was even slightly higher than the reported .24, considering the first thing they did when they got to the scene was not go for a sample, but was probably trying to save his life.

The most amazing thing about this is that the guy gets an award named after him a decade after the accident. Then again, we are talking about the Flyers. You mean they couldn't find another most improved player aside from a guy who wrecks his Porsche while blacked-out drunk? I don't care about his talent. Fuck his talent. To drive in that state and put others in danger, especially kids, you have to be a special piece of crap.

Besides why waste time on a drunkard like Lindbergh when we can make jokes about Kate Smith

@LP, I don't think he's suggesting signing all of Hamas. I think he's saying we'd use them as a league for talent. Kind of like how the NHL uses the AHL and ECHL or how they draft from the Q.

I have my doubts about the Hamas talent pool though. I hear they are terrible when shorthanded, none of them have any leadership ability, and I wouldn't put it past any of them to blow themselves up while serving a penalty.

At best, the whole Hamas organization is worth a 7th round pick in 2014.

well they have been fighting for years, they can probably hold their ground in a hockey fight... who cares if they have talent, right? Fighting wins games

what about Richard Reid (the shoe bomber)? He can place explosive in the other teams skates. I'm with Smitty about McVeigh also. We need some home grown talent!

Lenin, rather than Marx, would be best on the line with Malkin and Fedotenko. Marx was just a communist, Lenin was a Bolshevik.
 
 
#102 DUMPUS 2010-03-10 12:56
picking lines is great and all...but what about the infrastructure?


Himmler runs training camp, Masaharu Homma and Yoshitake Kawane are strength and conditioning. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold will cover shooting drills.

Rommel, Pol Pot, and Giap behind the bench.



i do love the Bin-Laden/Ahmedinejad line tho...kinda like Chelios, bin-laden might not be as effective as he once was, but he's still a presence.

OK, so I've been reading this blog for several years now, sometimes religiously everyday...I've been a joke and never registered until today: thanks to Fred Benson.
Who goes on rival team BLOG sites and bitches and moans about who they make fun of or root against??? I mean seriously.
Another thing..what the hell does poking fun at Kate Smith and the lame-ass flyers organization have anything to do with evil historical figures? anybody?
My disrespect of the Flyers is cruel and heartless? HA Fred Benson: Grow a pair. oh and Crosby Sucks! WOOOOOOO

BTW The Line combos cracked my shit up!

According to the wikipedia page, she died in 1986... As far as my knowledge is concerned, 9/11 happened 15 years after she died.
Ah stupid flyers fan, making a claim that she was influential to 9/11 victims even though she was dead. Silly flyers fans

Pelle Lindbergh was drunk and drove his Porshe into a wall, no? That's not tragic. That's just stupid.




Begs to differ.


I'm not excusing Heatley for what he did, but at least his BAC was below the legal limit. Lindbergh hit a wall at an elementary school with a .24 BAC.

When you're up in the .2's, you're looking at blackout city, loss of consciousness and possible loss of bodily functions. I'd be willing to bet that his BAC was even slightly higher than the reported .24, considering the first thing they did when they got to the scene was not go for a sample, but was probably trying to save his life.

The most amazing thing about this is that the guy gets an award named after him a decade after the accident. Then again, we are talking about the Flyers. You mean they couldn't find another most improved player aside from a guy who wrecks his Porsche while blacked-out drunk? I don't care about his talent. Fuck his talent. To drive in that state and put others in danger, especially kids, you have to be a special piece of crap.

Besides why waste time on a drunkard like Lindbergh when we can make jokes about Kate Smith
