I am getting so sick of people cheering Sidney Crosby’s return to hockey. What is so great about this guy? Every time he takes a hit he needs months to recover. He gets paid millions to play but has only played a handful of games in the last year. I think the only reason people say he is so great is he is from Nova Scotia. He doesn’t even play for a Canadian team! Crosby is no hockey hero, just another over hyped Nova Scotia icon. —Won’t Cheer for This Hack
This article appears in Mar 15-21, 2012.
Anne Murray, Ken Wilson, The Bluenose…
Don’t be dissin’ overhyped Nova Scotia icons. It’s not like we have a cornucopia of them to choose from.
…Ashley McIsaac, The telephone, HOCKEY!
Keith’s. I find it to be gross.
but fs “those who like it, like it a lot” well then, i’m sold, not
Yeah, I don’t see how someone else liking something would translate into me liking it. Look at you! you like Keith’s…signifying nothing.
You mad brah??? Did your hockey career end in peewee?? I guess the recruiters for the NHL could use your expertise in this area, perhaps you should apply.
I agree wholeheartedly.
anyone see if he got checked into 2013 last night?
it wouldn’t have to be a hard hit… he’s an ugly, fragile shell of a man.
“I would have made it to the NHL, but I have bad knees!” Oh those fucking knees…
i liked the high five the habs player gave the ref
OB what’s wrong with cheering a local guy who happens to be great at his sport and is trying to get healthy and play. Seems like such a stupid thing to bitch about.
OP. Let’s cheer for the highest taxes in the country. I guess Nova Scotia is famous for that.
I honestly couldn’t care less. Interestingly enough, though, he’s been getting bullshit treatment for his injury/injuries: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.…
very interesting, great good boy. i’m not bothered whether he plays or not, but perhaps he should do something else, with his time
you know o.p., i wonder the same thing. what the fuck is so great about him, or any other brain dead fucking jockstrap asshole, that can’t find a real job? wow, if i could, i would be on the ice tommorrow, chasing a piece of frozen rubber, and getting mega bucks for nothing else, then get a little bump, and retire, to flog off inane shit for millions. ah, the canadian dream. next thing you know, they’ll want him to run for p.m.?
That post was very life sucks-esque PG
I’m not a hockey fan and I’ve never been one to support someone or something just because it’s Canadian or Nova Scotian. Crosby haters are pathetic though. Just don’t watch him if you hate him that much, if people want to support him that’s their business.
Hate on, hater.
I Agree. I do not follow Hockey, I watch it now and then when I lose a game of remote control commando, but I think that Hockey players in general are a bunch of over paid underachievers. Honestly, what does Hockey contribute to the average home? Comparing Sidney Crosby to other NS icons is like comparing Apples and potatoes. What has he given back to Canada? If he was that devoted to his roots, as I am sure a lot of people are, he would be playing for a Canadian Team, representing Canada. I am sure that he would still make a great salary by doing so, way more than I make for busting my ass every day of the week.
how so thomas? i’m not a hockey fan either but the beloved is, so i read or go online or whatever, still in the same room with him. i like apples and potatoes lbl, but not sour grapes
The only local things I go out of my way to support are food-related.
Everyone needs food and it’s important to keep the growers growing out here in Nova Taxia.
plasket, crosby, page…. ppphhhhhffffft. whatever.
Laura, he was drafted by Pittsburg, players don’t get to pick where they play. He won a cup with that team, any player in their right mind would be loyal to an organization that has invested so much time and money into him despite his injury woes. Playing for a team just because of where they’re located is a very dumb carreer move.
As far as what athletes contribute? That’s not how capitalism works. Thousands of people buy tickets and millions more tune in to watch him, don’t you think he deserves a good chunk of the income generated? He’s the one doing the hard work. You talk about busting your ass? These guys work very hard, they don’t just show up on game night and slap a puck around, it’s a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year job.
However, one could argue that they do contribute a lot. Lots of people take great pleasure in watching sports and use it to unwind or inspire them and whatnot. The NHL as well as other sports leagues also make a point to do a lot of charity work and have their players use their influence on young people to encourage them to make the most out of life and get a good education and chase their dreams and all that.
Just thought I’d educate you a bit because you admittedly know very little if anything about the sports enterntainment business. Sydney Crosby ate breathed and shit hockey since he was born. He never even had a date before he played in the NHL. He has sacrificed a lot to get where he’s at. Trashing him because he plays for an American team is mean and ignorant.
He has represented Canada in every level of hockey, he always says he’s from Canada or Cole Harbour or Nova Scotia, he’s playing for the team that drafted him which happens to be Pittsburgh, that does not make him any less Canadian.
“i’m not bothered whether he plays or not, but perhaps he should do something else, with his time”
the commas, PG. The commas reminded me of a Life Sucks post
And another thing Laura, many people on this board probably work for companies that have roots in the US. I know I do. That doesn’t make me any less Canadian.
“Playing for a team just because of where they’re located is a very dumb carreer(sic) move.”
Kinda makes you wonder why people have favorite teams then?
When the majority of the players have no real affiliation with the city they play in at all… what’s the draw?
hell, it was just last year that Quebec was all panty-twisted over most of the Canadians not even knowing how to speak french.
Yeah, well they do represent the city they’re in while they’re there, and they have the option to sign with a different team once they play out their contract. NBA superstar Dwight Howard, for example decided after much hoopla to stay with the Orlando Magic yesterday, because he loves the city and the organization. If I was him I would have stuck with the original request to be traded before the deadline, because I don’t see him winning a title in Orlando. He chose to do that out of loyalty to the city, the organization and their fans. I think that’s a classy move. It’s not as if they have no say whatsoever but they are professionals and are expected to give their all, wherever they end up. No one wants somene who’s a quitter or not a team player.
I speak french, and I never had to use it once in Montreal. I lived there for 7 months and have visited a handful of times. All kinds of people speak strictly english and work in Montreal. Funny how some Quebecers have a problem with that but see nothing wrong with living in Canada and making no effort to learn any english.

I understand your points, but, in my defense, and in my opinion, I think that professional sports in general are a waste of too much money in this world. I understand that I am going to be shot at by all you big time Hockey fans, and that’s ok, you are all entitled to your thoughts and feelings towards my complete lack of respect for organized sports as a career choice. What I was getting at is that there are so many more people in this world that are actually doing something to make a difference in people lives, doing good for humanity and what not. Those are the people to look up to, doctors, volunteers, most policemen, etc. A country still recovering from recession, in my opinion, should be putting their money towards education and the creation of jobs for those who cannot rely on multi-million dollar incomes for being apt at sports, so that they can also become productive members of society. Some people might say that professional sports generates profit for cities and communities, but where is that money coming from ? Its coming from the people who pay to see the games, and from sponsers for the purpose of advertising. How much of the money generated for a community actually came FROM the members of said community? And of that money, how much is actually going to benefit those members of the community? I would guess not too much. You won’t see me lined up to spend my hard earned cash on hockey games, concerts or other money traps of the sort, unless i know that that money is benefiting my community or my country in some way.
lol ^^
Laura, most of North America is a weekend cable outage away form rioting in the streets, so I think pro sports does some good combatting the ennui of our effed up society. Remember when that Russian TV antenna caught fire a few years ago?
OB, you wouldn’t happen to be a certain member of the Marchand family would you?

“I speak french, and I never had to use it once in Montreal.”
It depends on what part of the city you visited. The old dividing line at St. Lawrence Boulevard (Boulevard St. Laurent) with French to the east and English to the west has given way to the predominance of French as principal language of business in the Ville de Montréal proper. In any case, most Francophones will speak in English if they are addressed in that language as a courtesy.
“All kinds of people speak strictly english and work in Montreal.”
It depends on what kinbd of work they do. If their job involves communicating with the public in a business with more than 20 employees they are obliged by Bill 101 (Loi Cent-et-Un) to do so in French. It is unusual to find any unilingual English workers in Montreal today under the age of 40 who communicate with the public, i.e., outside Anglophone educational institutions.
“Funny how some Quebecers have a problem with that…”
In view of the fact that French constitutes the identity of Francophones in Quebec it’s not “funny” at all. Francophones take their language very seriously and are constantly on guard about the “sea of English” – both in Canada and the USA – which surrounds them. That is why they have a “problem” with people who speak strictly English and work in Montreal, whoever they might be.
“… but see nothing wrong with living in Canada and making no effort to learn any english.”
That is wrong. English is now about to be made mandatory in the French elementary school system – it already is at the secondary level – so it is wrong to say that they make no effort to learn any English. As a result of the success of immersion classes in both the French and English school systems, most young people in Montreal are in any case functionally bi-lingual.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Well Laura,
Pro sports make their money from people who choose to fork it over whereas doctors police and teachers are paid tax dollars. Great teachers are paid the same as lousy teachers, same goes for police. Money is not wasted on pro sports, it is invested. You can argue that guys like Crosby are overpaid, but he comes back to his place in Dartmouth every summer and generously contributes to the local economy, which can use all the help it can get as I’m sure you know.
You’re telling me that every dollar you spend benefits the community in some way? I take it you don’t watch any american movies or TV shows. You don’t consume products I highly doubt that. Lots of people work in the stadiums, and work for the TV stations and ad agencies and management agencies that represent the players and other team employees, who would be out of a job were in not for pro and semi pro sports. Then you have the journalists and other media members, the list goes on.
A lot of the money made DOES get reinvested into the communities that support these teams. Without games to watch many local restaurants and bars would lose a ton of business. To say sports is a waste of money is like saying any other form of entertainment, including art is a waste of money.
you don’t consume products that come from the US* I left that part out
WHo cares …pro hockey is shite.
Now you want to watch some good hockey , check out the juniors or bantams those guy’s are playing their damn hearts out… 150% the whole time they are out on the ice.
NHL blows & unless someone wants to pay me my hourly rate It’ll be a cold day in hell before I ever watch that garbage…
& at the Canada games last year I happened to catch a senior girls ringette game for the first time ever…Those ladies were great ,it is a fast game & I never realised how hard they play !.
I don’t think you should have left it out. It is vital to your argument 🙂
I’m not a hockey fan either, I’ve gone to a couple habs game when my friend had season tickets. Much more fun to watch live. I’d rather go to a habs game than a mooseheads game any day though.
To each their own.
lol good thing I proof read eh Mel
Laura, you’re entitled to your opinion and please don’t take this as us ganging up on you, certainly not the intent.
I understand what you’re saying and, you’re right in that there are doctors, volunteers, etc out there that do good for the community. I won’t dispute that.
However, if you’ll indulge me for a minute, I think you’ll find that professional sports leagues, teams, staff and players do an immense amount of good for their local community.
Have a look at the link below. It is the fan page of my fave NHL team, the Ottawa Senators. (The rest of you keep your comments about my team for another time. GO SENS!) Anyway, if you click on the “Community” tab, you will see listed, the various charities, programs, events and other work that is done in the Ottawa/Hull community by this team and it’s players.
http://senators.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=6…
It’s a fairly impressive list IMO and only goes to cement the fact that when these players are signed or traded to a team, they are encouraged to become active, productive members of the community. And this is just ONE team in ONE professional sports league. This doesn’t include what the league itself, the team owners, management and individual players choose to give back to the area. Countless hours of their own time and thousands of dollars in their own money.
Yes, they make good money and that is a result of ticket sales, concessions, team merchandise, broadcasting rights, endorsements, etc. It’s big business. As was mentioned, these are professional athletes at the pinnacle of their careers. They’re doing what most, if not all of us, would love to be doing, turn their life’s passion into a career. (Which is a short career if they are injured) They generate a large amount of money, therefore, they get paid accordingly, and also based on their individual performance. (I personally tend to think hockey is slightly more humble because they still give back to the community but they don’t make anywhere NEAR the obscene amounts of money the pro football or baseball athletes make. Just my opinion. I’m sure it will be disputed)
But regardless, you can’t ignore the economic boost having a professional sports team has for a city. Think about it, for home games, you have the local fans and, depending on where the opposing team is from, their fans show up as well. That translates into transportation, hotel, restaurants, shopping, etc.
In the arena you have the ticket sales, concessions, team merchandise, 50/50 tickets, (of which the 50% kept usually gets donated to charity), bars and restaurants in the arena itself.
Even outside the arena, you have sports bars, restaurants, lotteries, etc etc.
Not to mention all the jobs that this creates. (I think arena staff alone numbers somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-300 staff. Throw on private security, police, paramedics, etc)
So, as you can see, these athletes ARE productive members of society and they and their teams, DO contribute greatly to the communities in which they live and work.
You say we won’t see you line up to spend your hard earned cash on hockey games, concerts or other money traps of the sort. That’s your perogative. But does that also mean that you won’t line up to see the latest movie or watch a new show on tv? By doing so, whether you like it or not, you’re unwittingly doing the exact same thing as going to a pro hockey game. You’re paying to see entertainment. I’d like to see how much these Hollywood movie and tv stars are giving back to their communities. (And a mani/pedi at a Beverly Hills spa doesn’t count).
Right on Avast. For the price of a movie you can get a cheap seat to a Mooseheads game, guaranteed more of the money that gets made off the Mooseheads or Rainmen games is invested back into the community than the money you spend on a movie ticket.
*sigh* people that don’t even watch hockey really make themselves look stupid when they offer their “opinion”. “Montreal should only draft French players”, “they should get rid of fighting”, “Canadian players should magically choose to play for a Canadian team”, etc.
I know jack shit about baseball, so I’m not going to tell them what rules they should have or what players belong on what teams.
no tj, i wasn’t the writer of this bitch. but there are lot of people that are just not interested inseeing some dumbass know, get his brains bashed in for a thing called sports. where is the sport in beating the fuck outf some poor shit. if that is the case, then gang style whuppings are now a sport in itself.
as to making millions for this thing, wow, how do they know how much they are getting, when their heads have been whacked so mant times? and another thing, how does anyone classify these people as heros? they do not save lives, they don’t defend their country, they don’t go out on the streets to patrol and make sure scum are behaving. no, they chase balls, rocks, or other stupid shit around, like idiots.a long time friend, played 2 seasons for the canadians, years ago, and you should see what is left of him now. that was in the days before the multi illion dollar paycheques. he got a stripend and played what he could. then he got injured and fucked him up for the rest of his life. and some idiots sathey do it to keep healthy. well folks, let me give you a good fucking body check, and see how healthy you are in two years. and how many arguements and fistfights start over this stupid type shit, think of soccer,hockey, baseball, or anything where 2 sides oppose each other. that’s it, i’m done my rant now.
THE LARGER QUESTION
The previous posters – or at least most of them – missed the point. The point is not about fame or economic spin-offs of professional hockey but about the emptiness of the mind of the sports’s fan. He, in the last analysis, is at the root of the problem. But what is the problem?
The problem, of course, is the mindlessness of the sport’s fan, his bawling stupidity as he bellows for the success of “his” team. He doesn’t know why he does it – he has no more introspection than the participant at the Nuremberg rallies in Nazi Germany – and so to ask him why is to dumfound him. Some of them even have the name of their “favourites” on the back of their team jerseys. All the fan knows, like his Nazi counterpart, is that he loves violence.
Will there be an end to it? That is the “larger question” but, on the current showing, the signs are not propitious. In the hockey rink, Darwin has once again been disproved.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
I’ve got a Kurt Meyer rookie card. Cost me a pretty penny on e-bay it did. Hurr durr!
Let’s see, one scoring title, one Hart trophy, two Stanley Cup finals, one Stanley Cup championship, Olympic gold in less than six years. What’s the overrated part?
..you shuddup ob..Cindy Crysby rools 😉
I agree … When they blocked off all of cole harbour that time for the hockey parade when syd the kid came home – that’s going a bit too far. What’s so heroic about chasing a puck and fighting like a bunch of baboons while earning millions doing so. I agree with Laura Bennett, honor those who make a difference in people’s lives.
Everyone has different passions. For some its music, literature, food – whatever. For others, it is sports! Kids and adults alike are inspired by these “heroes”. Playing hockey at that level requires skill, no matter how silly one may find that skill to be.

“Everyone has different passions. For some its (sic) music, literature, food – whatever. For others, it is sports!”
In his/her mindless relativism, “secretagent” has failed to make a fundamental distinction, that between the amatuer participant and the “professional” player. Nothing can be said against the former who participates for the love of the game, from the backyard rink up to the Olympic Games. In contrast, the professional player IS “professional” for one reason only: Money. He has no higher rationale or allegiance. He will go where the money is. That is why he plays.
Of course, many will say, “So what? That’s his business,” and indeed it is. But for those whose “passion” is music and literature (food not so much) the rationale is not money but beauty which, in its turn and in varying degrees, depends, on mindfulness – a quality completely lacking in the professional player. (Distinguish such mindfulness in the case of the former which opens up new worlds of aesthetic experience from the tactical cunning of the latter which has only one goal, that of winning.)
That is why “secretagent’s” relativism was mindless. It’s not just a matter of “whatever” at all. Anything but.

Only the Navy’s Fleet Diving Unit were playing pond hockey this winter, Xeenie.
Yes MM, because aritsts, musicians and authors certainly don’t get paid comenserate to their talent, and level of expertise. Me thinks you base your oversimplified opinion from what you’ve learned from the magic of Hollywooooooood.
THE LONELY CROWD?
Secretagent’s mindless relativism means that all pursuits, whether music, literature, sports, and so on, reside at the same dead level of value which, in effect, means no value at all. The concept of value has no meaning if nothing has any more value than anything else. Thinking she is being “democratic” in awarding all pursuits equal value, Secretagent has rather enshrined “democratism,” the corruption of democracy. Everything is the same. It all comes down to: “Whatever.” But where did this value-free relativism come from?
A good contender may well be David Riesman’s “Lonely Crowd,” a society made up of “Other-Directed” individuals. According to Riesman, current society is the third step in our social evolution. We have transcended the “Tradition-Directed” stage where social consciousness was shaped, in large part, by religious belief and, in addition, the “Inner-Directed” stage where such consciousness was shaped by the internalized principles of the Tradition-Directed stage. For Riesman we are now in the final stage, one made up of the “Other-Directed Man.”
The Other-Directed Man has neither tradition nor principle as his guide. He only has Other-Directed Men who, in their turn, only have him. They are individually empty, consisting of little more than mirror images of each other. In the iron grip of an unspoken but universally understood conformism bordering on the totalitarian, no individual or principled claim to value or truth is legitimate. It is out of order. It is being sanctimonious and is an embarrassment.
Riesman wrote before the advent of the Internet which has simultaneously strengthened the iron cage of a thorough-going conformism in addition to rendering communication ever more superficial and transient. In effect, we here on Bitch are little more than electronic impulses, passing like shadows in the night. We are just units in The Lonely Crowd. That is why, in respect to music, literature and sports, and so on, all that Secretagent could say was, “Whatever.”
A pleasure as always.

THE LONELY CROWD?: A POSTSCRIPT
A suggestion for today’s summit meeting: Why not have “The Lonely Crowd?” as a discussion paper? It could be introduced by Ivan with a few sanctimonious comments.
The discussion might be helpful to Stephen Harper (March 17, 4:01PM) who appears to be on intellectual life-support.
Finally, thanks to Persevere (10:45PM). You saved me some writing.

Or perhaps your boxers are decorated with little crows? Have you ever counted them? How many are there?

Thank you for the clarification regarding Ivan’s “crow boxers.” As you say, very tasteful.
I had pictured a murder of small black crows on a yellow background and was going to ask Ivan when his mother had bought them for him. But all that is now cleared up.
What isn’t cleared up is just how you were privy to the design of Ivan’s boxer shorts.
Clarification is required, TTFN.

i guess someone neglected to tell the suckster where this thing was going to be held. oh well, i had more pressing things on for today anyway. that being said, i will now take leave of this motley crew of humans. tata for now. and i probly won’t be coming to future efforts either.
Why was I not invited? I am personally insulted, I might just have to meet up with suckster for a consolatory shag.
I was using my original 1967 Comic Code Approved X-Ray glasses, MM, specially designed for such tasks. Ivan and his lovely Mrs. Ivan were hardly ruffled by my energetic scuttlings under the table. Identifying underwear by this means has been a hobby of mine since I gave up gargling thumbtacks a year ago.
Sucksters and NF – going to the Summit is as easy as contacting our fearless leader, Pretty Kitty, for details. There are no golden tickets for being part of the Summit – as much as some would like to think.

Cheerio!
she’s not so much the leader….
as the lemming that happens to be at the front of the pack.
How the fuck could we invite you, no fool — we don’t put details of the summit on here for a reason. I’ve plastered my email address on here for the summits and you had ample opportunity to email and find out details. Or you could’ve asked about it! You’re more than welcome to join us, but please don’t make it seem like we snubbed yo’ ass.
And Life sucks — you don’t ever come to the summits, so I stopped sending you FB invites. Those who don’t bother responding (how many seconds does it take to write “can’t make it?”)/coming were dropped from my list. Sorry, but if you never bother to RSVP either way and you never bother show up, I don’t bother to invite you anymore. I cut quite a few people from my invite list because of it. I’m not wasting my time inviting people who don’t have the common courtesy to acknowledge an invitation. Some people even leave the message I send without so much as a “not interested,” which is just rude.
Sorry, but that’s the way it is. My time is valuable, and I’m sick and tired of wasting it. You had at least 5 summits where you could’ve come since the one and only you bothered to show up for (or even RSVP, ffs!)– we even scheduled a summit around your schedule once, and you didn’t show. If you want to come to a summit, you’re more than welcome, but my efforts are focused on making sure those who actually make the effort to show up or at least say “hay can’t make this one” are aware of the time/place. I understand that shit happens (for example, wheelie didn’t make it to the summit yesterday *sadface*), but when it’s every summit? Do you really expect me to keep you on the list?
So get as snitty as you want about it. You had ample opportunity to show interest over the past year’s worth of summits. Or at least acknowledge their existence.
PS: Rosie, you were missed 🙁 I’m sorry snubiz didn’t get my call out for her to email me — she’s not around all that much anymore.
PPS: Nice to see some new faces (who took the initiative to contact me and say “hay! I’d like to come.”
PPS: for the rest of y’all newbies, I’m not making an effort to make sure each and every one of you are invited. We mention summits on here and state that they are going to occur. I always put my email address down for anyone interested to contact me, but I”m not psychic and I can’t read your mind over the internet and pull your email address out of my ass. And I’m sure as hell not putting details of the summits up on here. So the next n00b I see all “WHY WASN’T I INVITED?” gets banned from summits forever. Unless someone else wants to take over the planning and wipe your arse for you so you don’t have to actually rub two brain cells together and fucking contact me when I’ve made it more than easy to do so).
And I don’t care if y’all think I’m a big bad bitch — No Fool and LS’s bullshit is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I sense a little kitty rage in there….
http://www.ex-boyfriendcollection.com/blog…
Bravo, Kitty! Anyone with a clue knows how hard you work to organize these summits and every point you made in this post is a valid one. If you can’t be bothered to find out details, don’t fucking whine at us.
I don’t know PK, no_fool’s “personally insulted” line may have been a segue for “consolatory shag” punchline. In other words, I think it’s just a joke. Of course she could clear that up.
So, lil’ miss kitty kat … I’m going to send you an email … these summit discussions have peaked my curiosity and, so long as I don’t have commitments with my lil’ peeps, I’m thinking I’d like to attend. But, I will say in advance … don’t y’all be offended if I sit quietly and observe before I speak up … I’m a Scorpio … it’s what I do.
That seems a little harsh, PK. Yes, I’m sure your time is valuable, but if you and Suxie are FB friends, it doesn’t take that much time to click ‘invite’ over the picture, In fact, if you used previous lists, you would have to click to un-invite him.
And banning people for life from summits? The facetious, playful nature I’m sure you meant did not make it through to me.
On a happier note, I’m happy to see the ferries tooling across the harbour again!
I add people to the messages manually, xeno, and why bother inviting people who aren’t going to come?
The one time I don’t invite mr too lazy to respond with a simple yes/no, he gets his panties in a bunch.
On a higher and more pleasant note, there sure was some hunky man meat there yesterday, wasn’t there, ladies? 😉
yes, he has brown eyes and tattoos
Well, I was talking about ALL the menz there yesterday!
Kinda makes me wish I hadn’t given up boys for the year.
‘Fraid I like the look of old boys – the young cuties are easy on the eyes but more my kid’s style than mine – I’d never make it as a cougar, thank fuck. I actually like grey hair and the Rand McNally map lines on a guy’s mug.
As we all know, I am the epitome of manliness. 😛
I wasn’t invited? Fucking shit. I thought you guys liked me. Well geez….I guess I have no reason to post here anymore.
Just kidding. The only way I’d ever show up to one was if I could find a reasonable priced godzilla suit to wear. The suit would have to be knife resistant and possibly bullet proof depending on how Tommy feels that day.
Also….I’m pretty sure most of you guys are all old as fuck and I’m young as fuck so it would be inappropriate. Would be like a really messed up version of to catch a predator.
Half of us there were 30 and under. 1/3 were like under 25.
lolz, zilla.
…and Zilla was there, after a fashion. Right gang?
haha, that’s right, he was in tommy’s diorama
I still laugh at dick and fart jokes.
I’m 14 years old.
I’m also female.
Part Jewish.
Batman.
…and very odd^^
Whatever paingirl. You like all my comments…I know its you doing it.
Gee, PK. Can’t look at you sideways without you snapping, huh hypocrite???
yes, no, maybe so zilla…cackle
I feel like I should say that many of the bitch ladies were in fine form as well (epesciallyacertainsomeonewho’snameIwon’treveal :P). 😉
what was said…
“haha, that’s right, he was in tommy’s diorama”
what was read….
“haha, that’s right, he was in tommy’s diarrhea”
things make more sense now that I’ve realized…
I thought I may have missed some awkwardness @ the buck of stars.
I’ll trim the old scruff next time…
scruffy and eggs benny could have been much, much messier.
The scruff was hot, Zed. Very hot.
And oh hay, SHITTY D! YOU can suck the shit right out of my ass, ya big baby. 😀
I just realized I used “who’s” when I should’ve used “whose”. >.<
Don’t beat yourself up over it B 😛
It was a lovely Summit! You best come next time Zilla. I hope you’re not actually 14. Please be at least 18. That’d be cooo. I was shocked that Zed showed up! And was even more shocked when PK was right about him being attractive. I’m still trying to figure out a good answer to the question “Where did you get this?” in regards to my gift from Ivan 😛 “A man I met on the internet made it for me” might raise a few brows haaah
Attractive? More like sexy hunk of man meat.
And yes, I have no shame.
Marry me, Zed? 😉
when my aunt, who was in the resto asked me who all those people were? i was speechless, so i just we were old friends who meet every so often for brunch. what else could i have said? oh, they’re just random bitches i met on the internet^^
When I used to co-moderate the ‘Public Enema’, my co-mod was in Ohio. After a couple of years, she came to visit and we’ve been good friends since – alas, the ‘Public Enema’ came to an untimely demise due to a bunch of red-necked trolls and one particular poster who was just out to shut us down.
I guess the point I’m trying to make is that our unique views brought us together and, as we continue to Summit(welcoming anyone willing to laugh their liver raw),may it be the solid foundation to build some good friendships. It sure as fuck beats the Rock Church!
Ivan, I was very impressed by your incredible gifts, especially Tommy’s – I cackled about it on the way home – that was fucking great!
ICONOCLASTIC BUT NOT MISANTHROPIC
Montrealman has reflected on the foregoing controversy over the recent Summit, including the show of irritation among many commenters, and has concluded that the entire idea itself is misconceived.
The virtue of Bitch, if I may put it that way, is the anonymity of the participants. That is why we (or at least some of us) have pseudonyms. We can comment on the issue itself without reservation, without fear of censure from our Summit “friends.” It is what might be called an “iconoclastic position.”
It is not, however, to be confused with a “misanthropic position” where one is simply hostile to the bitchers or other commenters as the case might be. One can, in other words, be iconoclastic without being misanthropic. In effect the Summits, perhaps unconsciously, erase this very important distinction.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
It’s true, we have some beautiful and lovely ladies in our little community.
As for this bitch, I think my stance is clear. Everyone has their thing, for some (literally billions) it’s sports.
Athletes and other members of pro sports organizations do cool stuff like visit sick kids, donate to schools and charities and even help people rebuild schools, playgrounds and other structures, with their own hands. The New Orleans Saints and Hornets helped that city in a big way after Katrina, and when the Saints won the Superbowl a couple years ago (over my Colts) it DID make a big difference in a lot of people’s lives. It gave a lot of people something to feel good about, and what the hell’s wrong with that? Google NBA Cares, see what my favorite pro sports brand contributes to communities it does business in.
My uncle Dan Leger is a journalist, as well as my close family friend Alan Adams. Dan got his start, as many journalists do, covering local sports. Alan has made a great living covering mainly hockey for the last 20+ years. He gets to travel, spend time with his friends and family, meet a lot of awesome people including famous sports figures, get his son autographed posters and hockey sticks, introduce him to people who can help find him some type of work in this huge industry that is sports media. Thousands of make their living writing or talking about sports, then you have the people that work for the newspapers, websites, and news stations. Sports puts a lot of food on a lot of tables in this country and around the world.
I learned a lot from playing sports as a kid and a lot of what you learn can be applied to real life. Also, most college athletes don’t go pro, they use sports as a way to get a more affordable education. Pro sports makes all this possible, and it all depends on guys like Sydney Crosby.
So in that regard yes, he’s a hero. He knows where those millions come from and how many people are depending on him, and works extremely hard.
Also if some of you really think that these guys are in it strictly for the money, they take pay cuts all the time. LeBron James took one when he went to Miami couple years ago. Look it up. These guys want to win for their fans and for all the people who have helped them get where they are and who have supported them. Without the fans they don’t exist.
Some of these guys are major dickheads that fit some of the narrow minded stereotypes that have been mentioned in these comments, but a lot of them are class acts that use their position in life and money to do good. Guys like Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Magic Johnson.
i don’t follow the sports you enjoy thomas but i love this guy because of this http://www.celeblite.com/_ups/will-and-sha…
Shaq is a genuinely great human being it to mention a funny fucker, PG. He’s an analyst now on TNT, so entertaining. Sometimes the half time stuff with he and Sir Charles and the other 2 is more fun to watch than the game.
Oh fuck you, Thomas, for putting this thread back on topic and ruining it.
Fuck. You.
PK you shut your dirty little mouth!
okay pk, i sent you a mail, from my account, the one that had meow on it. remember that one? anyway, you did not bother to even send me a get fucked reply. well guess what, i will never go to another meeting, invited or not.you can shove that right up your little ass.
no_fool, looking forward to the shag,you probly got my mail, give me a time and place to meet. i always wear a camo ball cap.to ivan and the rest, sorry, but that’s how i feel to pk right now, don’t get on my ass about it. i will still be the same old suckster that you all love to hate, and maybe even more now. the vileness has just been unleashed. zilla, you be 14, i thought there was some kind of age restriction about being to young to be on here, not that i give a flying fuck anyway. fill your nasty little boots.
Oh boy.
This one made me howl:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/1…
Someone’s a bit too fond of their Fawlty Towers methinks.
I got no such email, suckers. I even just checked. If I had’ve I would’ve sent you details. So bite me. You know full well I wouldn’t exclude anyone. I’d even welcome zurvivor ffs. Mainly because it’d be great entertainment, but still. What mOtivation would I have to exclude you? So whatevs.
Thomas: you’d LOVE to find out just how dirty my mouth is, wouldn’t you? Don’t deny it, motherfucker! 😉
yeah, well a big fuck you too. anyway, as i said, don’t ever look for me again, not if you came fucking begging. and yeah, i sent that fucking mail. and this will be my last communication with you.
by the way people, the email was called “summit”, and my message was sent on 16/03/12, so there you have it. anyway, i’m done with this shit.
Does anyone else feel like PK treats the comments section here a bit like her own personal dating service? Its desperately annoying, not to mention embarassing. And who made you queen of fucking everything, anyway? Get down off your imaginary pedestal for a minute, you’re not even cool.
(just so I don’t get yelled at, I had a rehearsal Sunday noon. I’m in for next Summit though. I think I’ve made the majority of them. Please don’t yell at me)

As for PK,:http://rlv.zcache.com/a_good_anvil_does_no…
let’s all retract those claws and carry on http://cdn2.mixrmedia.com/wp-uploads/girly…
HAHAHA oh Jim. If you take that shit seriously, than you have a very very boring sense of humour. As for being the queen of everything — do YOU want to plan the summits? No? You don’t even fucking go to them so until then I *am* the queen of everything and until YOU plan these events you can stfu and suck the shit out of my ass because I’m sick and tired of bullshit like yours. I’m more than happy to plan the summits — they are definitely a highlight whenever they come around — but don’t expect me to sit around and take ungrateful shit and be all apologetic when I’m attempting to do something for others to enjoy. And I’m not on this earth to please assholes like you, so if you don’t like me or what I have to say, oh fucking well. That’s your problem, not mine.
It’s ok wheelie — we missed ya, but like we said, shit happens.
And no, suckers, I didn’t get an email from you. That email address is only for bitchers, and there are like 7 emails in my inbox and I never usually throw anything out from my inbox and it’s not there because I never received it. I’m sorry you feel slighted — it was never my intention to exclude you from the summit, but you have to understand how I would assume you wouldn’t be interested (because you never come or respond) and not put you on the invite list when I send around the emails/facebook messages. If I had actually gotten your email, I would have happily and gladly let you know the details because that’s what I’m here for. It wasn’t intentional, but if you want to keep your panties bunched about it and cut your nose off to spite your face, than so be it. There’s nothing I can do to stop you.
So, to sum up this comment (in regards to suckers and jim the asshole shapiro): bite my ass.

“Some of these guys are major dickheads that fit some of the narrow minded stereotypes that have been mentioned in these comments…”
In case I was one of those who you claim was guilty of those “narrow minded stereotypes” (Montrealman, March 17, 10:00AM) you must struggle to understand that I was never engaging in the character assessment of professional players as opposed to their amateur counterparts. I was simply drawing attention to the fact that the former, unlike the latter, play for money because – wait for it – that is what the word “professional” means. What they do in their spare time is irrelevant to the distinction I was making.
: Jim THE HAMMER (March 20, 8:57AM)
HEAR! HEAR! But you must remember, Jim, that the world for PK has greater or lesser significance relative to the impact it has on her body. An amusing exercise is to total up the number of body references, direct or indirect, per comment. You might like to compare notes down the line. Let me know.

Do you think I should change my pseudonym to “Dennis?” But who would be my alter-ego? Have you thought of that? Write back with your thoughts.

Cheerio!
WHile I have never gone to a summit…I have a question.
What exactly do you have to do to get ready for one ?
Whenever a get together, with family or friends, work….someone (usually whomever has decided to get together) contacts everyone & says, For Example – We are meeting on Saturday March 24th about noon at the “Quivering Thighs Whorehouse & Spa”.
WHat so fucking hard & get ready about that ?
THe way it sounds on here… makes it like someones cleaning & decorating the damn place, preparing the horse diapers (hors d’oeuvres for those of you not from the Cape)cooking a meal, hauling in booze etc etc.
Way to make something so simple nucking futs .
& I hate nuckin futs….I’d rather come as you are , if you can do, if you can’t don’t -simple.
i brush my teeth and hair, more. given the differences in our backgrounds, the conversations are all over the place
It IS simple, more-on, but I do need to know numbers in order to make a reservation. Plus, trying to organize the schedules of 15-20 people isn’t exactly a 5 second job. Excuse me all to hell for wanting to make sure it’s as inclusive as possible.
And it’s just rude to ignore someone’s invitation to something. How the hell are you supposed to know if it’s even worth bothering taking an hour bus ride downtown if no one’s going to show up?
And all i get for actually putting in some effort is a slap in the face by the shittards of the board who get upset because I’m not a fucking mind reader and/or because they just don’t like me.
Fucking classless assholes.
PK, I would never be interested in planning/going to a summit. Actually, my comment had nothing to do with the summit, or the fact tht you plan them. It was about you being ANNOYING AS FUCK in general. My sense of humor has nothing to do with it either – you aren’t funny. Just a whiny attention whore.
Have a great day!
Your loss. All I can say is, you missed a great blood orgy.
http://aereiecaccia.altervista.org/foto/yf…
And when we burned the radioactive lizard in our Wicker Man – Yowza!
“It was about you being ANNOYING AS FUCK in general. My sense of humor has nothing to do with it either – you aren’t funny. Just a whiny attention whore.”
Cool.
Oh my, such hostility PK. I would have thought that the calmer more thoughtful approach might have been a better avenue. You don’t want to look like a hypocrite!!!
“You don’t want to look like a hypocrite!!!”
Maybe if I gave a shit whether you were dead or alive I’d also give a shit about any of your opinions, but guess what? I don’t!
😀
Petty K…there are LOTS OF PLACES to go where one doesn’t need an reservation.
But if you guy’s ever have a summit & the Petty K bitch ain’t there… let me know, & I’ll try & make time to attend that one.
Whiney self entitled cry babies are way to much drama for me…you see I work in film & get paid to be around that all day long !
Having to put up with it during my free time, I don’t think so.
It’s common courtesy to make a reservation for a large group of people. There is nothing that pisses me off more than a group of like 15-20, sometimes THIRTY just waltzing in and fucking shit up for everyone working and other patrons.
Mel is absolutely right — you don’t NEED a reservation, but when there’s 15-20 of us, you can’t just walk in an expect accommodation.
You’d know this, more-on if you weren’t dense as fuck.
And sure, if you want to come to a summit, I’d be more than happy to not show up. I’d rather eat vomit than break bread with you. What ya say, summit-ers — me or more-on at the next summit? Can’t have both!
you know i mouse ears ya kitty but i would like to meet mr more, tho i probably already have

does that look fucking familar now, that is the post that was sent p.k., so don’t fucking tell me you didn’t get it. and if you didn’t, get rid of that fucking stupid gmail.
Summit e-mail or no summit e-mail, I think there’s a larger issue that really hasn’t been grappled with here. That being that Peyton Manning has signed a five year $96 million dollar contract with the Denver Broncos leaving my Titans out in the cold. Denver? Why? I was hoping Tennessee or at least San Francisco. Oh well the Tim Tebow watch starts now. Where will he end up? (Tim Tebow was the starting QB at Denver, no longer with Manning there health concerns aside).
Before anybody says I’m off topic, remember this bitch was about a star athlete. So my remarks are far more pertinent than the last few.
I vote for More. He seems less crazy!
Jesus … I think I just went back in time … to high school.
More … what say we plan a trip to Cash & Carry … pick up a big ass 50lb bag of potatoes, some big hunks of meat and a bucket of ice cream … then go have a lil’ party country style. You know … BBQ some meat, drink some beer, light a fire and play some guitars (I have one, she’s pretty, but I can’t play her yet) … in someone’s yard where a reservation isn’t necessary.
And, I’m with Painey … I don’t know what everyone else does, but if/when I make it to a summit … I might primp a little (ya know, put on a little makeup and fluff my hair), but I’m going as me and I don’t need to prep to be me.
Holy crow – what a shit storm over fuck all. Sucksters, you are taking this way too personally. Kitty has no motive for your exclusion – you’re acting like a grade school kid with all that unnecessary, downright silly venom.
Jebus H. Cripes, Kitty, you do an awesome job of organizing these summits – the people who usually complain the most do the least. Besides, you’re one hysterically funny babe – don’t let these knobs get ya down. You’re adorable.
Lol, what a bunch of drama queens. The troll in me says “feed me more”, while the sensible person in me says “quit being a bunch of wankers, apologize and move on”. With all the mean shit being tossed around, the next summing should be a real Gerry Springer special.
Fucking autocorrect, that’s supposed to be “summit”. I swear that autocorrect shit is responsible for more fuckups than it’s worth.
well I don’t know about y’all, but it takes time finding, sacrificing, and bathing in Sasquatch blood… they’re wirey and slick from ages old, oily, unkempt bodyhair….
I’ll have to start looking the night before so I can be more punctual.
For someone of grampie gary’s advanced age, he sure acts like a child not even past the age of 5.
If you’re looking for me to beg for your forgiveness and for anyone to beg you to reconsider your stance on boycotting any further summits, you can keep this tantrum of yours up all you want — no one cares enough.
And SHITTY-D — I’m not apologizing for anything because I did nothing wrong.
Andx2 if more-on wants to come to a summit and not have me there he can start organizing summits himself, especially since he’s apparently so much more awesome at it than I am. He can also kiss my fat ass while he’s at it.
PS: thanks TTFN, you’re a doll! 🙂
THE ROLE OF THE BODY IN FEMALE PSYCHOLOGY
“But you must remember, Jim, that the world for PK has greater or lesser significance relative to the impact it has on her body.” (Montrealman, March 20, 10:14AM)
Montrealman has reflected on his reflection – a normal activity with Montrealman – and has concluded that this phenomenon is not restricted to PK but is central to the role of the body in female psychology generally.
Think of it. For the male, his body is something he does something with, whatever that might be. The female, on the other hand, identifies herself with her body in a way that is alien to the male. Her body IS her. Containing the sources of life itself, it is her temple. Female religious cults for example, unlike patriarchical cults which posit a meta-body spirit or “soul,” are invariably fertility cults, that is, cults of the body.
So now we know why, for PK, the significance of the world has greater or lesser significance relative to the impact it has on her body. It is that way for all females.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
You don’t need to use Dennis, MMan.

Yes, Wheelie, I realized you were using humour to answer my statement about the function of anonymity on LTWWB and, as a matter of fact, I (secretly) awarded you a score of 6/10. In my initial post (March 19, 7:21PM) I included a parenthetical statement – “That is why we (or at least some of us) have pseudonyms” – which was intended to refer to me as Ivan had repeatedly blown my cover. So, in order to have scored a perfect 10/10, you would have been required to work the parenthetical statement into your reply. I’m not sure just how that would have been done – it’s reaching a high degree of complexity as I’m sure you will agree – but I’m certain I would recognize it if you managed to bring it off.
It’s very warm at the moment. Word has it that it will hit 29 degrees with the humidex this afternoon.
: mmmhertzZz (10:37AM)
The quotations were cryptic to the point of mystification which was not relieved by the attachment, “Dennis the Repressed.” I am paranoid, of course, but not clinically so – at least I don’t think so. I trust you found my “The Role of the Body in Female Psychology” satisfactory.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
your pedantic, uber-young status has been confirmed.
If you don’t know, you’d better go find out.
There’s a lot of this big world you’re missing out on.
Perservere–I’d love to go somewhere that we could burn meat & drink a brew or 2.
Split the spuds up so we could have potato salad & baked.
sounds good to me. But meeting in a resturant with a bunch of new people…not really something I’m into …a pub for an ale or cafe , possibly ( as long as its not a Timmie).
Kitty if I was single I would rock your world if I started by kissing your ass, and in my usual way moved on from there…but while you may question me because of my past & what I’ve done you seem to disagree with…what I have never done . IS cheat on the person I am involved with, even though the oportunity has happened on more than 1 occasion. IF I am in a relationship ( & I am) & a condition of that is monogamy (& it is)…I am OK with that. My ex- cheated on me, I never cheated on her. And I have never ever put down a fat ass…more cushion for pushin’ IMO & its what I perfer, even if it was yours you’d never hear a complaint about that !
we could go to the commons and then pass out under the bushes. when i used to drive my bike through there in the wee hours of summer, i startled quite a few bush nappers^^
I wholeheartedly agree with you (and your statement re:inserting parenthetical information into answers) amd hope the weather remains pleasant.
I thank you for the 6/10 (though I hope this addendum gooses that number up a couple points, though done after-the-fact).
I have scored you (secretly) as well (favourably).
Man, I’m beat (after all that aside-ing).

Wow – Such hostility over the summit.
I rather enjoyed myself (eye-candy), I got to sit with Mel, Donk(nice to meet you, finaly) & PK.
LS – I’ve had e-mails and voice messages that have taken days to go through, if at all.
All it takes is a corrupted packet, and the message disappears into cyber-space forever.
So, lighten the fuck up.
It seem that nobody else wants to organize the next summit (but you’ll bitch about it), so it looks like it’ll still be up to PK to do it. I for one, have no complaints.
Hay Hugo – you mentioned something about your Dad at the summit. Have you read this:
