Doesn't she have kids now? Imagine being the child of the most famous dumpster in history? Childhood will not be kind.

Pirates? Or plowing RD's mom in costume?

It's both. I have experience in both.

Last I saw of her, it looks like her kids probably hatched from an egg.

Yeah, but I bet she is a hit at parents/teachers night. I know I would show up instead of faking an illness.

Frankly I don't think NYR really needs to do much regardless. Yes I would like to see some cap space freed up moving Nash, Girardi or possibly Staal & fully agree at a cost that makes sense if eating salary balanced out with assets potentially returned but i don't think NYR's Stanley Cup window is closed or any where near closed.

They lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champion last season, made the conference final the season before that & the Stanley Cup final the season before that. Yes that's heading in the wrong direction but NYR has added a ton of youth over the last 3 seasons & all those players are young & have a ton more development & improvement coming. Kreider, Miller, Hayes, Fast & Lindberg.

At least 2 others will join the NHL as regulars next season McIlrath & Skjei as regular NHL Dman playing reduced roles but playing & probably 1 forward. I don't see Buchnevich making the jump straight to the NHL right out of camp. 1/2 a year of seasoning in the AHL is most likely arriving shortly after the All-Star break. Another young forward will be added. Hrivik had a 5 cup game of coffee last season & looks to potentially assume a 4th line checking role.

Factor in that the majority of the core Stepan, Brassard, Zuccarello, Staal & McDonaugh are all in their mid to late 20's as is the addition of Holden a very serviceable 4/5 Dman & the veterans, Staal, Girardi, Klein & Nash are all in their early 30's & NYR is positioned well to still compete for the Cup. Even Lundqvist at 34 isn't old by goalie standards. Luongo is 37, Brodeur played well right up to 38, his serious decline really didn't start until his 2nd to last season in the NHL at 38.

NYR posted 101 points last season good for 9th overall in the NHL 1 win out of the top 5. The future looks bright. Yes Staal & Girardi need to be better, yes once the RFA's are resigned the cap is tight but even if NYR does absolutely nothing they are a solid cup contender as currently;y constructed & even though they expended a ton of picks to acquire StLouis & Yandle who's playoff runs justify the cost paid by NYR.

The prospect cupboard is pretty bare now but the future is still now in NYR as the roster is littered with players well under 30. NYR may not have a top end #1 but they have 2 solid lower end #1 or high #2 centers in Brassard & Stepan. Moving forward now NYR needs to start rebuilding the prospect cupboard retaining their picks looking to move out older assets as they near the end of their contracts at the trade deadline to restock the draft pick kitty.

Oh come on that's not even close. Jack Black. Then you collect his liquified remains and put them through a second time just to be safe.

Was going to add Paulie Shore but he isn't relevant any more.

Unpopular opinion: I'd use Jim Carrey to stuff Black's body into the chipper, and ultimately feed him through as well.

I think you kill Ke$ha (that's right, I spelled it the right way) because she is both useless and unattractive.

You marry Gaga because whatever, at least she's talented and probably has the highest net worth of the 3.

You (frank) Spears because she's probably the best looking of the 3.

The only movie I liked of his was Truman Show and that's because he wasn't trying to be funny/succeeding at being painfully annoying.
