Yes, Abe is providing us with more links than we have time to view in a day.  But I feel that if we're gonna be overwhelmed with information, let's really go for it!

I came to the realization that I knew less about post-concussion syndrome, which is a term being thrown around a lot lately, than I thought I knew.  And as we know, this is SCH Google, someone has to do the work for the rest of us lazy asses, and I'm either feeling generous or bored, so I thought I'd do a little leg work.

What I will try to do is provide you with links to some information that I feel is relevant and helpful and provide a little excerpt that catches my eye.  I am assuming that you all are aware of what a concussion is, what I'm interested in here is more information on how multiple concussions lead to what is being termed as post-concussion syndrome.

Many of us have probably dealt with concussions, either from playground injuries, sports injuries, car accidents, or having klutzy children.  I'd win at all of these if I actually played any sports.

at Northbrook Court on Friday, September 10, 2010.  It's called "Fashion's Night Out" and here's the link:  http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/templates/F0.jhtml?itemId=cat23550731

It's free, but you need to RSVP.  I called the PR lady at NM and she said they will not confirm whether or not the Cup will be there.  Some of the better halves will be there, so some players may show, but again, no one will confirm that information.  I was planning on attending, but it's not too likely right now (have pneumonia), so thus I am passing this info out to all of you. :)  If the Cup shows and I don't, someone please come kill me.

I still can't see all that well sometimes.  And one things that horribly disappoints me lately is the mis-use of the rec button.

I look forward to truly funny or informative posts to be rec'd.  On a long thread, I'd like to see highlights.  Unfortunately lately, it seems like only BS gets rec'd, and many truly fine posts are glossed over.

Also, if you say "rec" it's not enough.  You also have to hit the rec button on the post you want to rec to turn it green.

Also, in addition to recing fanposts, you can rec stuff on the front page.  As of now, I can't believe I am the only person who rec'd the Wings eulogy.  That is a fine piece of writing, and as such, it deserves rec's (for recommended) so people know it's a must-see.

In summary, please think not of the children who have good eyesight, but us old people who are too lazy to put our glasses on or read through a bunch of tripe (or offal, if you're Meeshak).

To welcome Puppet back to the states, and per her request, let's have a meet up at Westwood Tavern again for Game 6.

Episode I:

The Odd Couple

S: You love Doughty more than me.
K: Well, he doesn’t make turnovers like you do
S: Oh, now you’re insulting my cooking?
K: He kisses better too
S: That’s it, you’re spurning me for another D-man?
K: I’m Norris material, babe. Get with the program.
S: I’m going to visit my mother. Or see if Madden will take me in.

Episode II:

The Dialogue Continues

Seabs: I saw you looking at him.
Keith: Baby, I’m telling you, it’s over, it was a brief fling.
S: Is it because he’s younger than me?
K: That’s not it.
S: Than what is it? I’m tired of your lies, just be honest.
K: Face it babe, he showcases my Norris abilities better than you.
S: Oh yeah. Fine. See how well you do on your own.

(later)
K: Where the fuck did you go?
S: Didn’t like that one too much did you?
K: Hell hath no fury like a d-man scorned.

Episode III:

After The Game

Seabs sneaks into the King’s locker room to confront Doughty.

S: Drew, we need to talk.
D: Shit, I thought they had security here. Who the fuck are you?
S: It’s me Brent..
D: Who?
S: Brent, Brent Seabrook.
D: Not ringing a bell.
S: Olympic team? Whatever… we need to talk.
D: Shit, where’s security.
S: Listen, I know Duncs is hard to resist, but you have to understand, he’s mine.
D: What the hell are you talkin about?
S: We go together, like biscuits and gravy, Q and his mustache, Burish and STDs.
D: Listen Brett,
S: IT’S BRENT.. AND I WANT YOU TO LEAVE MY D-MAN ALONE!
D: Um, dude, I’m not into d-men.
S: Oh. OK. Well then, want Kaner’s number?

Episode IV: 

Soupy Gets Hurt

Keith: Hey Biscuit, I took the homemade potpourri you made for Soupy to the hospital.
Seabs: Oh Dunky, you are the best!
K: I know how much this upset you.
S: Duncs, it coulda been you!
K: Here’s a tissue, blow your nose.
S: We should have taken him out in the Olympics when we had the chance.
K: Now, now, Biscuit, who knew it would come to this.
S: But Dunky, this is devastating. (sobs into his kleenex)
K: Baby, we’ll just have to play harder.
S: I just can’t help it, if it were you, I’d be lost… and benched.
K: Don’t forget about the Norris, babe.
S: I sure hope he taught you that spin-o-rama move already, you’re so cute out on the ice when you move like that.
K: Stop crying Biscuit, we’ll win it all for the Ginger.
S: Ok Dunky! You really know how to make me smile in the face of adversity!

Episode V:

Wiz, Friend or Enemy?

Pre-game:

S: Duncs, I know you were quite fond of Wiz when he played with us.
K: He’s gonna try to bait you, he always wanted a Norris quality partner, babe, but never got one.
S: OK Dunky, I believe you.

After the 1st:

Wiz: Hey Seabs, heard you and Duncs were having some issues.
S: You’re just jealous, bitch.
W: You know he’d have gotten his Norris if it wasn’t for you, bitchass.
S: You’re a punk.
W: I know you are but what am I?
S: Dunky told me you’re a dickhead, liar piece of shit.
W: Watch it there, wuss boy, you’re no Burwood in the trash talk department.

Just before “The Hit”:
S: Hey Pussy! Don’t you wish you could play like me and partner with a Norris quality D-man? (sticks tongue out for good measure).
W: Wanna see what it’s like to be Eager?

After “The Hit”:
K: WTF? Is that my little Biscuit with his eyes rolling back in his head?
W: What of it, dick boy? Not like he could think without you anyway.
K: YOU [punch] WILL NOT [punch] HURT [punch] MY PARTNER
W: Crap
K: (under his breath) who showcases my Norris abilities just fine.

Seabs gets up: He LOVES me! He really loves me!

The euphoria wears off:
S: Oh fuck, this is what it’s like to be Eager? I think I’m gonna throw up.

Episode VI:

What do you do with a problem like Wiz?

Seabs: Dunky, I’ve been thinking about attending Wiz’s wedding.
Dunc: Biscuit, honey, remember, he hurt you.
S: Oh yeah, I can’t seem to remember that part. Well, how about we throw a bachelor party for him?
D: Oh, I think we can arrange something appropriate.
S: Dunky, you’re my hero! I know you’re gonna get the Norris this year!
D: It’s in the bag, babe.

Biscuit's Dream Sequence (written by BigCSouthside, whiner):

Priest: I now pronounce you, Man and Wife, you may kiss the Bride

(Seabs comes charging up the aisle and lays a savage head hit on Wiz)

Seabs: Wait, I did nothing wrong…I didnt go for the head…the outcome was bad but I did nothing wrong……..bitch

Seabs: (slaps Brides ass) Call me!

Biscuit's Dream Sequence (written by Chiblackhawks):

Priest: I now pronounce you, Man and Wife, you may kiss the Bride

(Seabs comes charging up the aisle and lays a savage head hit on Wiz)

Seabs: That’s (SLAP) what (SLAP) you (SLAP) get (SLAP) for (SLAP) mackin’ (SLAP) on (SLAP) my (SLAP) defensive (SLAP) partner!

Wiz: WTF man?

Seabs: Don’t you lay a hand on my Dunky again!

Wiz: Seabs—

Drew Doughty: You got the wrong man, dude.

Seabs: (Looks confused) I did?

Drew: Not even the same team, man.

Seabs: Huh? But… isn’t this LA?

Keith: (comes in) Oh, there you are! C’mere, Seabsy, let’s go.

Wiz: …..

Keith: Sorry, he’s just never been the same…

Episode VII: 

An Emergency Defense Meeting

Mrs. Hendry: I hereby call this meeting to order.
Jorday Hendry:  Mooooommmmmmm...
Mrs. H:  Jordy, after the things I did with Stan to get you a spot on this roster, don't you be giving me no lip!
Everyone:  Ewwwwwwwwww.
Mrs. H:  So our first order of business; what the fuck is up with these pairings?
Keith (K):  Well, Mrs. Hendry...
Mrs. H:  You can just call me Mrs. H.
K:  OK, Mrs. H, as you may realize, we've suffered some major injuries to our D lines.
Seabs (S):  gagagagaga lalalalala he loves me.
K:  See what I mean.  OK, honestly, some of that was starting to show before the injury, but still.  He seems to think his brother is our love child and that he named him after me.
Mrs. H:  Yeah, I see your point.
Sopes:  I see no problems.  I've always felt that I was a top line pairing.
Buff:  Yeah, if ugly is the requirement to get on the top pairing.
Sopes:  Isn't it?  That's what my wife told me.  After she told me she blindfolds herself everytime we have sex.
Hammer:  I don't care what line I play on as long as Kim isn't around to pat my ass.
Boynton:  I've got a couple of meatballs for you Nik.
Hammer:  Thank you for making me feel welcome!
Soupy (teleconferenced in):  Really, is this what they pay me millions for?
Buff:  I gotta go take a shit.
Mrs. H:  Dustin!  I told you to use the bathroom before you left the house.
Buff:  Sorry Mrs. H.
Mrs. H:  We have business to attend to! 
Buff:  Yeah, well, I kinda like playing on D cause I can just stand there.
Mrs. H:  OK, fine, we're getting nowhere.  Let's discuss Wiz.
Seabs:  Wiz is my friend.  He told me he hugged me the other day, but I don't remember.
K:  Biscuit, honey, shut up.
Mrs. H:  Where the fuck is Johnsson?
Hammer:  He told me he has a lower body injury and that if I kiss it it will make it all better.  But Burrish told me that's the oldest line in the book.  And I don't want an "old" line on the ice.
Mrs. H:  I give up.  (She leaves to go meet Pierre McPenis, to get Jordan's name mentioned more, not knowing that her feminine wiles will do no good in this situation.)

Crap, I lost my intro.  Too lazy to repeat it, basically, I don't like crowds and I went to signings and I don't usually do this.  And now I can't figure out how to make my pictures appear.  This fanpost is a total fail.  Yet it's not, if you read through, cause now I think the pictures are there.

OK, I've figured out pictures, but they keep popping up on top and I have to move them, this is sucking.  I better not be missing Olympic hockey for this.

So, Wednesday night is the Horshoe thing.  Pricey, but a good cause that I'd like to support, and most likely fun.  I still haven't decided if I'm going or not.  If I bring the Kid I have to pay for him, and then it gets really pricey.  However, I have no intention of driving out there and home alone.  Who's going, anyone interested in carpooling?

NW Suburban events on Friday are Brouwer at the Relax the Back in Lincolnshire on Milwaukee from 4-6 PM, and Sharp and Tommy Hawk at the BG theater from 5-7.  I am planning on going to at least one of those if not both.  Anyone else going to these events?  Maybe we can meet up for a beer or something.

Shalom

Well, first off got my Madden jersey today!  Sleeves are long, but I can't wait to wear it out, so let's arrange a NW suburban meet up to watch a game.

So basically, reason for this post: I watch hockey.  My brother used to play, but that was so long ago, and I was into other things, that I don't remember all the little nuances that go into the game.

Someone mentioned in a post (I forget who, sorry)  that Niemi should have hit his stick on the ice to warn Toews about the coming hit.  What I would love to hear are more things like this that go on in a hockey game that someone like me wouldn't know about, but are interesting.

Thank you in advance for your input!

I'll try again.  Anyone care to get together to watch the Hawks win Game 5?

If so, where?  Harry's again (well, that'd be again for me)?  It was a great place to watch, although their spinich-artichoke dip left a lot to be desired, their burgers were great.  And TVs galore, all tuned to the Hawks.   They tried to sell me some Old Style, telling me to pretend I was at Wrigley (though I've heard Wrigley is Bud territory now?  Is that true? 

Have I hit 75 words yet?

My son and I shall be there, maybe husband. I checked, and if I have this correctly, it’s on 1 N. Vail, in  Arlington Heights. I’d be the short one, a bit on the chubby side, with the Khabibulin t-shirt, Kid has a Toews jersey.  Oh, and I'm old(er) hee hee.

There was a 20% off coupon (not including alcohol) but I couldn’t get it to print, so someone may try checking that out. It was part of the entertainment.com free trial. Sounds like they have a good choice of beers there. I’d really love to do this as I can’t post and watch at the same time, so this way I could just scream and yell with the rest of you while keeping my eyes on the game.

I texted the Kid to ask him to invite Mullet Man.  Don't know if he'll see the text, or have the balls to do it, but I can hope.

Please post if you're going to try to make it, otherwise we should reschedule for a different night.

Let's Go Hawks!

BTW, I'd avoid Idolz sports bar like the plague.  They have a sign up which reads: Go Hawks Go - how lame is that?

Yes, I know I'm totally off topic here, but I'm a mom, and moms get to do things and say things which are sentimental and mushy (hopefully without being banned or otherwise insulted). 

It is a great achievement to graduate, and I hope that you are proud of yourselves.  It takes a lot of hard work and committment.  I am also highly impressed that many of the SCH (well, I should exclude Sam Fels due to his constant swearing, but fuck it, he educates our children to know scum when they see it) are interested in making a difference to our fine city and the youth who live here.

So hats off to you all!  Stand tall during graduation and after.  Wishing you all the best in whatever career you have chosen!

Now get your asses home in time to cheer the Hawks on to victory tomorrow.

Let's Go Hawks!

Anyone know why the Hawks have called up 8 players, including Niemi?  No other injuries but Sopel are showing up.

Oh, long time lurker, first time poster.
