Highway 87...

Note: That's about all of the hockey related stuff we have, so if you are expecting more you can go ahead and quit reading. The stuff that follows is simply a little insight into our minds. Just a warning, you might kill a few brain cells. Oh, and if you are confused about some of it, I guess that's the parts where you just had to be there. Good Luck!
In case you have never been to Alabama, we'll inform you that most of the people that work for the highway department must stay drunk because their roads are not that great. I complain about all of the construction on Tennessee highways but at least ours have been paved in the past thirty years and the medians are kept mowed. Don't get me wrong... I have nothing against Alabama. I love living in the south and Alabama is part of that, but it was not a very scenic or comfortable drive through the part we ventured into. We also got a kick out of some of the town names.
Guardian and I saw lots of signs that were "R & R" this and that. Such as "R & R Auto Sales" or "R & R Lawn Care" or whatever. We started thinking of things that the R & R could stand for. Somehow we got on the subject of Batman and Robin. We figured one of the R's could stand for Robin and since Robin was Batman's sidekick, he needed a sidekick of his own. Thus, Roberto was born. Batman & Robin. Robin & Roberto... and Gomez. (We decided Robin & Roberto needed a guard dog.) Gomez is Robin & Roberto's chihuahua. We imagine Gomez would wear a yellow mask and purple cape with a yellow 'G' on it.
Speaking of never living something down, Enforcer will never live down the following conversation. Just a little background before we get to it though... we were driving around in Destin and I'm noticing all of the different license plates. Guardian, Slasher and our other cousin Doug, were in the car as well. Apparently Doug and Enforcer were having a separate conversation from the rest of us and so... this is what came about...Me (Pansy): Man. There sure are a lot of Texas cars here in Florida.
Enforcer: Yeah. There are a lot of those in Texas.
Yes. She seriously said that.
She also said she enjoyed weed at some point. I don't believe she meant THAT kind of weed. I hope she didn't anyway. ;)
On our trip home we saw a road sign that read "Twilight Rd". I thought about stealing it.
There was a sign outside of a rinky-dink gas station that was supposed to say Ice Cold Beer. But it read more like this... I C COD Beer. (I See Code Beer)
There was a sign on the right side of the road that pointed to the left side of the road that just simply said "Blackman". We think it was the name of the road because there was no one standing there.
One more thing. As some of you may know, our friend Marshall is serving overseas. We have created "Marshall on a Stick" and he goes with us on road trips. We did indeed take him with us on vacation and he had a great time, although he did spend a few days passed out in the back seat of the car. Anyway, Guardian and I were standing in line in a restaurant in Alabama when a man and women behind us kindly asked us the story behind the picture. We proceeded to tell them the story behind "Marshall on a Stick"... that he's our best friend serving in Iraq and that we take him with us wherever we go and we take pictures and send them to him. The man just happened to be retired from the Army and he had also served in Iraq. He was touched that we would do such a thing for our friend. He told us that we were doing a good thing and he thanked us for it. Honestly, what we are doing is nothing. They are the ones making the sacrifice. That being said, we found a great website. Slasher read it off the back of a tractor-trailer. Packages From Home is a website where you can go to donate goods or money... or your time... to prepare packages for our servicemen and women overseas. If you are a big supporter of our troops, it's a great website to check out. If you don't have the financial means to make a donation, there is also a place where you can write the soldiers a letter. If you get the chance, just give them a big thanks. It's the little things that make the biggest differences.
Anyway... on the long drive home we (Enforcer, Slasher, Guardian and I were in a car together) decided that we would hold signs up in the window to Aunt Moose (since she's not conquered the art of texting yet) just to say 'hi' and such. I guess she got tired of us at some point, because Smalls motioned me to drive around him and when we did, MOOSE MOONED US!!! I thought I was going to run off the road because I was laughing so hard! Let me just tell you, you've never lived until you've been mooned by your fifty-something year old aunt. It was great!
Anyway... unfortunately we are home now, but we are already planning next year's trip.
If you made it this far through the blog... we appreciate it. We've found that we have acquired a couple of more "fans". Thanks. We enjoy having you here. We hope you don't think we're crazy.
Until next time... Peace, Love & Hockey
Is it preseason yet?Oh... and don't forget... the ESPY's come on at 9:00 ET!

Is It Time For Vacation Yet?
WELCOME BACK FEZ!!!
Although we're sad to report the goodbyes, we're HAPPY to report the returns. Ruslan Fedotenko has re-signed with the Penguins and we love it! We've decided since his last name is so long we'll just call him Fez. It works, right? I, personally, am excited aboot his return because that means I get to hear Guardian say (every time Fez is mentioned): "Hey, did you know his name's in a song? Want me to sing it for you? I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-Galileo,galileo,Galileo galileo, Galileo figaro-magnifico" I guess you would have to be sitting next to her during every game to appreciate her singing. We've discovered the latest video of some of the Penguins in the offseason. We wish Tyler Kennedy and Kris Letang worked at our news stations. We would try to get jobs there. I would go back to school for that opportunity! ;)
And don't forget to check out the Penguins Stanley Cup adventures. Tyler Kennedy was the first one to spend some time with Lord Stanley. Apparently he and his friends really enjoy Boston Pizza.
We enjoy this!
Philipe Boucher also got his turn with the cup. He celebrated with cheesecake. Smart man!
As far as everything else goes... it's good. Life is good. We've had bible school this week at our church so we haven't got much accomplished.
We leave for the beach on Sunday. I think we're leaving at like... 4:00 AM!!! Aunt Moose says she'll take first shift driving in our vehicle though. I think she just wants to spend extra time with us... or she wants to really drive my car one! :) We can't wait though. We've been counting down the days! It's going to be lots of fun! We'll try to post pictures when we get back. If Slasher takes the pooter (computer), we may post on Hockey Day. It'll be a time for celebration! Ha ha.
We hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July! We sure did. We had over $300 worth of fireworks. Boomsday has nothing on us. Slasher and Guardian's brother Josh, our other cousin Doug, and myself blew up a cinder block. Accidentally, of course. Talk about a bunch of rednecks... we sure acted like it. That's a tale for another day though.
Not just on the holidays, but everyday... please remember our troops! They sacrifice their lives so that we may enjoy ours.
Until we meet again... peace, love & hockey!
XOXOXO

We'll miss you Hal Gill...
And if there is nothing else to be said, we want to let you know, we hate to see you go but we love to watch you leave. (yeah, it was lame, but I had to throw it in there. we love him.)

What's that you say?
I don't know much about hockey, but I'm pretty sure that's important, right?
We were a little disappointed with the NHL Awards. Seeing as it was our first time viewing them, we thought there would be a lot more about, ya know, the champions. Apparently not. We did get to see plenty of pics of this though:
Which is totally worth that whole hour and half of our lives that we'll never get back. I mean, seriously. Definitely worth it.
Hope you all have a great summer! We know we are going to!
Until next time... peace, love & hockey.
XOXOXO
Go Penguins!

Bring a Friend...

Bet Ya Didn't See That Coming...

But we're done with that part! Celebratory celebrations now!
I don't know what to say. It's hard to put into words the things that we are feeling right now! We are sooo happy for our boys! The media, other teams, Detroit... they all had their doubts... they all thought the Penguins couldn't pull it off... but you know what, WE DID!!!
We need celebration music!
Turning on some O.C.M.S. - Wagon Wheel.
(Well, it's good for us. Ya'll can turn on some Queen, We Are The Champions, or whatever floats your boat. This is our thing.)
If I die in Raleigh at least I will die free.
You know what, we feel bad for Hossa... we really do (except Enforcer, she hopes he breaks his neck). I mean, seriously, what a jackass! But you know, he said it, had he not have taken the position with Detroit maybe we wouldn't have acquired the players that we did and thus, perhaps no Stanley Cup.
But you know what, we did win! And Hossa didn't. And it makes us happy just thinking about it! Nuff said.
We had the heart. We had the determination. We had the skill.
We also had:
Sid's butt. H.G.'s A-B's. Talbot's ax-man beard. Staal's gorgeous eyes. Letang's (well you know that hair does it for us). Fleury's smile. We had Geno dropping the F bomb occassionally. Orpik's crazy eyes. Scuderi's splits. Tank's killer shots. Kunitz had a million crazy hits. Matt Cooke's all around bad-ass-ness. Geurin's experience. Gonchar's leadership. And 100% determination from the rest of the team. What more could we ask for?
Anyway, we would love to go on and on, but I think the Jack is getting to Enforcer, and this Mountain Valley wine is starting to mess with my head. Guardian and Slasher left the conversation long ago and are on the verge of passing out. We shall talk more aboot our Stanley Cup win, but you'll have to wait till we get sobered up (which might take a week or two... ha ha... we kid, we kid).
We have an amazing summer to plan and there is nothing that we can't accomplish now! Looking forward to next season!
Until next time... peace, love & hockey!
XOXOXO

Brooks Orpik is a Bad, Bad Man
Malkin is our effin hero! If you didn't see that fight in Game 2, you are not really a Penguins fan and we don't know why you're here! Enforcer says "it made my heart warm and fuzzy". We agree and we totally love some warm and fuzzies and those other feelings you sometimes get from watching the Penguins!
