Random Thoughts...

...So I found out this week that everyone's favorite Cooper, Winnie, (other option was Mark from "Hanging with Mr. Cooper") turned 34 and was recently married. Danielle McKellar, as you may remember, stared as the young Winnie in the greatest show of all-time, The Wonder Years. Here is the Winnie you might remember and now she is all grown up. The Harvard grad has written multiple books and appeared in several magazines...shown here, here and here. (The Kicker)

...Sorry, that last post was suppose to be about how great Wonder Years was and asking if anyone knows where to buy the DVD Series. Instead, it turned into a bunch of really hot pictures. (The Kicker)

...Let me be the first to say no apology necessary. Also, Winnie Cooper is vastly superior to Topanga Lawerence. (Juice)

...And, Wonder Years is vastly superior to Boy Meets World, for that matter. (Juice)

...There was an article the other day on the Star Tribune website for which the headline read "A Gay Old Day at the Movies" and the subtitle read "Hairy, Husky Dudes Bonding at the Multiplex..." I know exactly what you are thinking, and no the Star Tribune didn't feature a story on a gay porn theatre. It was about a group of gay guys called the "Movie Bears" who get together and review movies. I didn't read the whole story because I'm 90% sure, porn or no porn, it still ends in a circle jerk. (Juice)

...Would you rather watch the movie version of the popular children's book Where the Wild Things Are or spend an evening cutting yourself? I think the answer is fairly obvious. My apologies to those people who already cut themselves; although, technically, the decision should be even more obvious for you... (Juice)

...This random thought is dedicated to The Kicker's girlfriend Brittany: How awesome are footie pajamas? (Juice)

...How can anyone drink energy drinks? Not only are they absolutely terrible for you, they taste like urine in a can. How is that enjoyable in any way? (Juice)

...Amen Mr. Blyleven. (Juice)

...I want to punch Paula Abdul in the head. (Juice)

...Look what my school's hockey team did. I'm on the bandwagon baby! (Juice)

...Also, for that matter, I would like to extend one giant middle finger to ESPN, and all of the Duluth television stations. The ABC affiliate in Duluth can't pick up the game? Really? People just need to watch Just Like Heaven? Seriously that is what they are showing instead. Also, to ESPN how do you not at least have the game on ESPN360? And for that matter how do you put soccer on ESPN2 instead? I realize you are dealing with two unpopular events in hockey and soccer, but stick with the lesser of two evils. I once saw a poll that said 90% of people would rather hang themselves than watch soccer. True story. (Juice)

...The ten day forecast calls for 47 degrees and a 60% chance rain/snow for the Twins home opener April 6th. I get it. We live in Minnesota,. But can I get one precipitation free home opener? I'll accept the 47 degrees. All I ask is it doesn't rain or snow. I foresee this ending poorly once the Twins move outdoors... (Juice)

...I would like to note, however, that I hate retractable roofs and would prefer to sit outside on a 45 degree day than sit under one of those eyesores. Although, I would also suggest that the schedule makers don't start the Twins at home. I'll wait an extra week or two for the home opener if it means it will be slightly warmer and not snowing. (Juice)

...Finally don't forget that next week is baseball preview week here on Juice and The Kicker. I'm sure you are as excited as I am! (Juice)
