  1. luv 2 follow up a "I'm back!" post with a "I'm gone!" post but...

     

  2. I'm back! (and realized I forgot to post in the away thread and just told staff instead: reason below the "read more)

     

    When I got to Europe, I got so lucky for so many reasons. The most important was that my assigned-by-the-company roommate turned out to become the absolute best friend I've ever had. He moved out and got on a plane to South Africa today, and I needed to be very present this last week. December has been a roller coaster of emotion to say the least.

     

    Life moves fast, and if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it. Appreciate the good things you have now, because they won't always be there.

      @N0HBDY what a great idea for an intro to a segment about trade targets at the deadline, I’m practicing my used car dealership tv commercial voice already

  4. I hope I'm not spoiling the surprise, but I'm going to guest on @JardyB10's HECKING PODCAST this week! I could ramble on for hours about anything and everything and nothing, but does anyone have any questions for me and us?

      They're going to be even more surprised when I fire you from the show!

      Why was the bootcast a better show to be a guest on than the Hecking Podcast

      @Berocka I was on One and A Half Aussies once upon a time but it was actually only A Half Aussie and that made me sad

  5. After many, many, many real life years, you can finally see my name on the forums in dark mode. No more pinch zooming in to see which commissioner is tagged, or guessing based on the length of the name. It’s truly a historic day in this great forum league of ours.

      WTF RORY IS A GM!?!?!?!?!

  7. It's almost Halloween 👀 I wonder how the VHL will celebrate...

  8. The name doesn't mean what you think it means. Check it out here:

      I refuse to click on this and have you break any number of head canons that I have running. Either you are secretly Weird Al or Weird Al's biggest fan or the rogue alternative, you are in fact Richard Karn, and haven't gotten over being the best Al on TV. 

       

      EITHER OR AL! 

    2. bigAL

      Why not all of the above? What’s weirder and more eccentric than moving to Eastern Europe to play the accordion and write parody goal songs for VHL teams? If you keep exposing my secrets I might have to send the Tool Man over to teach you a lesson…
       

  9. Ran my first ever 10k today, beat  my time goal, and placed top 10 in the race. Hell yeah, happy weekend ✌️

      Don't like that race, there are better ones for sure

    4. bigAL

      bigAL

      @a_Ferkthe race organizers thought there are better races too, they only gave trophies to the people who did the half-marathon. I’m so jealous, my buddy came second in his category for the half too and got a big ass rock stuck to a square plaque. I wanted that rock so badly. Next time. 

  10. If your team won the Cup, would you buy a shirt or a hat or a mug with the logo on it? 👀

      the warsaw tattoo concept is nearing its final stages, and best believe it's gonna be hot enough to be worth the wait

    3. BOOM

      Is it a face tattoo?

  12. Any aspiring beat reporters here? I’m looking for an up and comer to help cover the WJC. Message me on discord for more deets!

      What does beat mean

       

      If you don't have anybody I'd like to give it a try..??

    2. bigAL

      Sweeet. A beat report just means someone who follows along with a team and reports on their actual games, versus like a journalist who covers the bigger picture or something. Ideally you’d do daily or whole tournament recaps. 

  13. Shoutout @Vat. Everyone haaaates notifications on here, but this poor guy is sad that he hasn't gotten a ping in two days. Comment so he gets more red dots!

  14. What do you think about the new Team Canada WJC jerseys? 


    If you’re not Canadian and/or do’t know the significance of the colour orange to our current era of Truth and Reconciliation, check out this article about Orange Shirt Day.

  15. Got a new cover pic courtesy of Bo Burnham's latest, INSIDE. Highly, highly, highly recommend it on Netflix. Very funny, very 2020, very Bo Burnham.

      Also dark and put together pretty much how life in 2020 felt. It’s a piece of pandemic art

      Haven't watched it but I'm sort of familiar with Bo Burnam, he seems pretty funny. Might have to check it out.

      I’ve seen some of his stuff before. Similar to ferk, some stuff made me chuckle. :) 

  16. Last call for WJC GMs!

     

  17. TIL the plural of Elk is Elks. Definitely thought it was Elk/Elk. Go non-racist sports teams?

    1. Ledge

      Ledge

      Liked Edmonton Football Team better tbh

    2. a_Ferk

      a_Ferk

      It can be either. Elks kind of sounds stupid though ngl

    3. bigAL

      The trailer was so hype and then at the end they introduced YOUR... EDMONTON... ELK(S?) and it just killed the whole vibe. Go Elk. 

  18. What are the bets on how many pages of BoG forum it took to make the VHLE? 3? 37? 307?
