I know, WTF Trey, this is a lame subject for Happy Hour. I can spice it up! How about some multiple choice. So you find a bird that many thought was extinct for decades. Do you:
a) Take a photo to wow the masses
b) Sell it
c) Allow it to be eaten
d) All of the above
e) None of the above
If you answered “d” congrats you are the smartest guy/gal in the word. Seriously, I don’t know if the whole story is funny or sad, it’s kinda like a Rob Schneider movie. You laugh, but they’re so awful you don’t know whether to feel bad that his career had come to this.

The relevance…there is none. But we had an action packed day here. My TMA led off with the very correct prediction that the trading dealine would suck…followed by my feelings towards Orange County playing with the idea of cutting public school athletics.
Big D previewed the Pittsburgh Pirates…and GITC gave us his Studs and Duds.
Sparty’s followup to his insanely popular top wrestling finishers, led off the 1pm hour.

Anyone like those Gatorade “G” Monty Python like commercials? I do, but I refuse to recognize “G” and their marketing strategy of removing the word Gator from the product. Well someone clipped them all together for your pleasure.
TV Tonight:
You know what! Screw it, sit down and read a book, magazine, newspaper. I’m working on Cadillac Beach by Tim Dorsey. The wifey is reading Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen (easily my favorite Hiaasen novel). There is nothing worth a damn on TV tonight anyway (Sparty, I checked, Smallville is a repeat)…A PSA from Gator Trey

Sharks=good, Kings=not so much. HawkEye19(Quote)
Nothing great mikey…promise GatorTrey(Quote)
i see that your HH fell victim to february sports…holy hell theres nothing on mikeychx(Quote)
Sharks have been in a slump. Maybe the Kings will cure what ails them. Hopefully it’s just boredom. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
Sharks can coast and get one of the top two seeds. I can see why they’re slumping a bit. In other NHL news, the Wild are actually winning a game against a conference rival. That’s a nice change of pace. HawkEye19(Quote)
Bottom bracket in the West is going to change. Any team can sneak into the playoffs. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I think SJ needs HFA to get past Detroit. Even that may not be enough. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
mikey–Got my new TiVo (exchange for the one that was broken) and it works like a charm…it’s pretty damn sweet. rekcalsa(Quote)
Sharks/Wings will be a good series. Provided the Wings make it that far. Always the chance they they drop an early round again. HawkEye19(Quote)
Still waiting for a Canadian team to win the cup. If is not the Sharks turn, then I’ll always root for the last Canadian team standing. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I was all ready to buy a Flames jersey when they went to game 7 against the Lightening. How the mighty have fallen there. HawkEye19(Quote)

This sucks! The Sharks-Kings game is only on radio. What a rip off. I want my money back. Fiesta Trio(Quote)

I wish! It’s in San Jose anyway. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
i thought you had said you were gonna go earlier…maybe you just said you were gonna go watch it and i misunderstood mikeychx(Quote)
Either way, I like your thinking.
Live hockey is great. I used to go to the Cal Lutheran games in the early 90s. They were pretty good for a small school because they had a lot of Scandinavian students. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
i went to a few ihl games in hampton roads (read as norfolk, va) virginia…it was all right – but i just never fully got into it…maybe i needed to sit on the glass to appreciate it.. mikeychx(Quote)
