Yeah, I was wrong about Patrick Roy. I'm surprised as hell I gotta say that he said no. "I can't leave because Canada has the best cereal for my kids, they don't like Count Chocula in America."
What I'm not surprised at is that he DID receive an offer and LIED about it. I knew he did, you don't have 1.2 shitloads of people saying, "yeah, he got an offer" and then we're to believe that he didn't just because he says, "Nuh uh, did not!"
Stock dropped dramatically in my book for him. Like a rock in water. Why do you lie about stupid shit like that?
I will say that he may have blown his chance, unless he piles on some really great coaching where he's at. His one son, the ex-hockey player turned singer, will need some coaching I'm sure. "No, you are in the wrong goddamn key, eh?! That's supposed to be in C, you are in D, what the hell!" *smash in the face with a skillet*
So, how's Granato doing ya think? I don't know, but you know what you should check out, is this awesome email thread I had a long time ago. Damn funny; jump to Birds blog:

I was told a story by my lovely fiance the other day regarding a comment made by a person that works at the same company she does. This guy apparantely made mention of how Pittsburgh's citizen's are such shitty inconsiderate assholes. And tonight, on national TV, they prove it. Pittsburgh had scored their 3rd goal of the game tonight and instead of being humble but happy, there was this one guy who was seen right behind Carolina's Head Coach Paul Maurice giving him the bird. I mean, not just a funny limp finger, it was an angry in yo face finger. And yes, if someone from Pittsburgh reads this, I know what you'll say, not all you bastards are angry pricks, although I'd bet a dollar that you are.
Yesterday I played my first hockey game. Although I had a knee injury my third shift out I had a good time. We lost to the other team, who really was a strong presence on the ice, they had good speed and probably should have been in a higher league, but ya know, it was fun. The classiest of all things last night was the fact that we had pulled the goalie at the end of the 3rd for the extra skater but our D was weak. So they had a break away at the end and instead of firing on the open net, the skater just held the puck until the horn. Very classy indeed. Hat's off to that kind of play.
And so Roy supposedly hasn't received the offer letter from the Avs. Well, the B's and Q's are suggesting that he in fact has received it and has also accepted. But is publicly denying it because, and we speculate, that Granato has not received his walking papers yet. And to avoid any uncomfortable issues with the team and staff, he won't confirm until Granato gets the foot to ass. Time will tell.
Have a great day everyone. ---Q

Roy offered Avalanche coaching job :
Click Me
My opinion on this hasn't quite gelled. What I can tell you that I am up for is a good ol' fashioned shakeup in the locker room. And maybe this is it. I no longer want to see the Quenville regime (sorry Granato, you're not doin' for me either).
The key to good coaching is to be inspirational, show confidence, motivate individuals and yes create a team that is solid through every shift. Can a net tender who is well known for a slight temper and even more individuality create a cohesive environment for the team and then help sell tickets? I think that if this happens the seats will fill to see Roy again, but the team has to perform in the end. It's not gonna be the same lines as last year and hopefully we see a more rounded team on the ice. We have been in need of a solid defense for years, and with a goaltender behind the bench, perhaps that will get the team there. Can he coach the forwards or do you just tell them to keep up the ol' dump and chase that I've grown to despise. I dunno.
This will be interesting. I predict he'll take the job. It's not a hard prediction mind you cause he wants back in the NHL and the legacy with the Avs is obvious. So, I say do it. I say it with cautious optimism.

In a statement released Wednesday from the SHF corporate headquarters, announced by Public Information Office Cliff Dweller, it is reported the Q has removed his anterior from his posterior.
"At approximately 13:30 on 13 May 2009, there were multiple reports of a loud popping sound heard across the southern metro area. We can confirm that this was not an explosion of any type, no safety concerns or actions are warranted and all government entities are being informed of the situation."
"What we are able to confirm is that the sound that was reported was the head of the Benevolent and Almighty Leader of SHF, Munpe Q, was finally able to pull his head from his ass. This caused a large change in air pressure around the area which is the source of the sound as reported. When this happened, SHF HQ was notified and we are able to report that Q did in fact ask his beautiful and wonderful girlfriend of 3+ years to marry him."
Statements from Bird's representatives were not immediately available. It is confirmed via Q that Bird did indeed accept.
End of statement.
B's and Q's are getting married!

I read an article this morning that says that a Saudi judge gives a solid 2 thumbs up on the ability to slap a woman if he feels like she has spent too much money.
Read more here
The article provides the following example:
"If a person gives SR 1,200 [$320] to his wife and she spends 900 riyals [$240] to purchase an abaya [the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear] from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment."
So, I hereby declare and provide the written authorization to any individual who feels like Saudi judges are moronic to go ahead and punch them in the neck and/or poke them in the eye with your finger. If at that point you gain permission to take things further that's on you.

I've been anxiously awaiting to see Chris Cornell on Letterman. His Twitter's have been littering my Tweetdeck for days with the fact that he played the show but never said when it would air. Well, tonight was the night.
The performance didn't meet expectations but it's like eating your favorite food, it's always good no matter how bad it is. Cornell did as good a job as to be expected. His voice was cooked but he warned everyone about that on Monday a la twitter.
At the end of the show, Letterman's "ouch, that hurt" whining about hitting his hand on the Cornell's guitar was weak. Cornell took the blame on hitting Letterman but it was the exact opposite. Letterman, watch where the hell you put your hand would ya?
Ok, well, I'll be hitting the sack now. Brain is fried and I'm tired of typing. I mean to say that the noggin' is wiped out, not that I'm having fried grey matter.
You stanky mofo's who never read this will have to begin to hop on board the SHF Train, it's pulling away from the station and we'll be making zero stops. It's gonna be a hell of a ride so bookmark this shit and start reading.
You stanky mofo's.
