Fudgement Day

A hockey player named "Gronick".

Sorry, kids, we have Roenick at home.

It doesn't really matter. Except not Edge. Or Chrome.

I guess this is how civilization ends.

Props to the people finally moving off Twitter after yesterday's shenanigans, but THAT'S what it took to make the move? Everything up until that was "okay" enough to stick around? If this is you, please examine where your bar is set and adjust appropriately.

The final proof needed that Ivo Shandor from Ghostbusters was right all along.

FFS we just couldn't catch a break tonight.

You don't see the woman in the red dress?

Firefox now, Firefox forever.

Crowded hockey arena with teddy bears and other stuffed animals scattered all across the ice.

It's Teddy Bear Toss night at the hockey game. 1300 stuffed animals thrown, over eight minutes to pick everything up.

Birmingham Bulls hockey players salute the crowd after a win.

It may be minor league whale-shit hockey, but a win still feels good!

This is great (and I remember that thread!), although hearing GBS pronounced as "gibbis" is... jarring. Hope you do more!

The dog caught a mouse in the yard last night, despite my doubts about him possessing the speed, agility, and environmental awareness required for such a feat. My wife was annoyed with him, but I have new respect for our mighty hunter.

Jason Schreier won the Games Journalism Hunger Games and is the only actual one left.

The PWHL We champion women’s hockey everywhere.

Hockey friends! Canceled your cable? Can't subscribe to a dozen streaming services? The PWHL (Professional Women's Hockey League) season just started, and ALL of their games stream live on YouTube (in the US). It's great hockey and a league we should support. www.youtube.com/@thepwhloffi...

My first-ever drumming class was on Friday. Saturday I read that Primus is auditioning for a new drummer. Rock stardom, here I come!

Culver's cheese curd shaped like a heart.

Whatever happens, my cheese curd still loves me.

One beautiful win, one ugly loss. Could be worse.

It's a double hockey weekend. Let's do this!

Bulls win! Here, have a pic of the losers losing.

"Where did your username come from?"

I was playing Viva Piñata back in 2006 and enjoying the various (bad) animal puns. Inspired by the "Fudgehog" in the game, my wife and I started tossing "fudge" puns back and forth. I came up with Fudgement Day, and it stuck.

The season starts... Now!

My 77-year-old mother just sent me this text in reply to me being excited for hockey season:

🏒Yeah!!!!

Her first emoji. Proud of you, Mom.

I had a dream that I was at a LAN party with Prince. I became obsessed with learning his opinion of the 80's song "The Look" by Roxette.

Prince wouldn't answer, and the fact that I'll never know kills me just a tiny bit.

No place I'd rather be on opening night!

Finally filled in my entire vaccine card, front and back. Where do I redeem my free sandwich?

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

If you use Chrome, read this article. And then consider moving to another browser. Google's new "privacy sandbox" rolling out now is exactly the opposite.
