Clearly this forum should receive a reasonable percentage (>10%) of any profit made on the sale of those DVDs if our members appear on it.

They're all out of town right now, so I'll call them and let them know!

LOL, yeah, that would definitely open up some good possibilities. Maybe we could get an animated gif out of it too!

Sadly my computer will not read the disc so I can not get a screen cap.

Adjusted image, some of the colours were off.

Edit: Adjusted again, now the entire image has correct colours.

I dunno, when I mailed Kayla about this she asked, "So did I finally convert you into a hockey lover or did you see that on OO?"

"OO"

"OO"

She's young and still trying to fit in. Girls are a mess at that age. Good thing I am around to help deprogram her.

You do realize that she specifically rebels against you, right? If you showed up and *never* drank and gave lectures on the evil of alcohol I bet within a week she'd be drinking Jim Beam straight from the bottle.

New game plan. When do they come back?

I believe by around Monday, but I could be off. I must admit that the time frame kinda got filed away in my brain as, "A long time."

Wow. Those looked like they were some damned fine seats.

That's some fine photoshop work, there, Windows95.

Haha, Windows95, you still missed Kayla's jacket

Oh, and Windows95, please report to Room 101.

Poor Windows95. So delusional he believes that the Laffs could possibly have fan. Cheering no less. It is just sad really. :twisted:

Dear forum members:

I would like to take this time and apologize for the satirical image I posted earlier in this thread. After some personal deliberation, I have come to realise that portraying anyone, let alone well respected forum members as Toronto Maple Leafs fans, was an inappropriate and unfortunate decision on my part. While my intent was to inject some humour into the discussion, I have come to realise that my reckless image manipulation has crossed the line of good taste and civil discourse that the OO community prides itself on. I wish to stress that I in no way meant any disrespect to the Meal, MHS, or their friends and family. While I thought the sight of someone other than Darcy Tucker wearing a Tucker jersey would clearly identify the image as fictional, I now realise this isn’t always the case.

My humblest apologies for any emotional damage I have caused the aggrieved parties to suffer.

Dear Windows95,

Please continue your photoshop efforts to portray the Mealers as Pittsburgh or Vancouver fans.

Sincerly yours,

Cecil

Thanks for the heads-up! That was the same clip they showed during the game (which was caught by OO's Lee as well as my brother watching from NorCal -- in addition to two other friends I hadn't heard from for a few years, nice to have that moment spur on emails from old buddies) after Franzen nabbed a pretty goal during G3 of the Conference Semis. We were two rows off the ice, just inside the blueline (fantastic seats!). We'll definitely have to get a copy.

Oh, and Windows, that's a FANTASTIC job. Image saved for future usage (probably when the 12-61-8 Leafs knock some hated crap team out of the playoffs during the last game of the season).

I kinda was. After doing high-tens with everyone wearing red-and-white around me (which follows the double-arm extension — aka "the touchdown" — accompanying the jumping out of the seat, hopefully done more quickly than anyone else around you thus signifying that you saw the goal "first"), I generally find myself lacking for how to finsh off a good celebration. This problem never existed in my pre-sobriety fandom days of yore.

If you don't know how to terminate a situation then you end it one or both of two ways:

1) Do a little dance. Index fingers in the air. One circle while remaining in place.

2) Whisper-yell "Suck it."

This works sober or intoxebriated.

Still haven't ordered the DVD :oops:

but we made it on the front end of the NHL's Franzen's Summer with the Cup clip:
