Sorry!
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Your favorite media members were at the Mets-Cards game tonight, so no news and notes until Wednesday night.
Perhaps if K-Rod didn’t blow the save, we would have been back an hour earlier and been able to post…so blame him.

When I’m not juggling metadata or watching the same shitty movies Derek & Eli both adore (Empire Records? Summer School? [Remind me to tell you about me and Dean Cameron one of these days.]) or having an impromptu dance party at East Village Tavern or kicking your ass on the hockey court or drinking gin while wearing freakishly awesome shoes (I do also wear some nifty dresses), I’m sharing a namesake talent.
No, I did not marry the second president of the United States and give birth to a true American family (even if I gave birth to them while living in Hawaii but brought them up in Africa… still born in America!). Nor did I stir up trouble with the Puritans (least complex, my ass). No, no… I’m talking about Abigail Van Buren (Shut yer mouth! I’m just talkin’ ’bout Abby. Awwwwwww yeah). So in the spirit of giving, I am extending my talent and assistance to some lucky BTSHers.

While the Happy Little Elves have been sort of surprising some teams on the court this season, I feel we’ve been the league’s biggest disappointment where it matters most…at the bar! There is no funner (yes, it’s a word) team than the Elves. We are all partiers and drinkers. But this season, I’ve noticed some things I’m not too proud of at the bar. We have Mexican Standoff guarding the door, What The Puck running around feeling like they own the joint, Craig and his harem of Lady Unicorns showing up fashionably late, Demons everywhere, the Rehabs plotting in a corner, Georgine guarding Derek and Eli, and of course, Cobra Kai sitting at the end of the bar, like table #9 in the Wedding Singer.
But one hour after our game is over, I’m normally the only Elf left standing. So when some guy in a foot cast is screaming, “What The Puck!! What The Puck!!” and 19 Rehabs are chanting back, “REEEE-HAAAAAABBBBSS, REEEEEE-HAAAAAABBBBS,” I’m forced to slink into a corner and whimper, “Go Elves Go. Go Elves Go.”
Well, this Sunday, that changes!! The Happy Little Elves are taking back the bar!! Last season, we lost every game (except against the Tuques and Squirrels), but we had fun darn it!! This Sunday, we are going to have a blast, and we’d like you to join us. So if you haven’t been to the bar this year (Hookers), or go to Doc Hollidays (Anklebiters), come to the bar and hang out with the Elves. We’re not bad people, just bad hockey players!! And we’re not even that bad at hockey any more, so our lack of talent shouldn’t rub off on you. (Though WTP did lose their first game after I hung out with them the week before.) This is the last week before a two week break, so no excuses, party with the Elves!
First beer is on me. OK, not really, but come anyways!!
