What? A Game?

As I lay on my couch, enjoying my first day off in almost two weeks by eating cookies and chinese food while watching

obscene amounts of Intervention and Always Sunny, I felt a strange energy in my den.  My chinese food began to taste of donuts.  The air smelled of bacon.  And then, a strange breeze blew through the room, and the breeze whispered in my ear…..

“fattyyyyy”

That’s right, chirruns, it’s Fatso time again.  The Rangers play the Devils at 7pm tonight on MSG2.  Will the Rangers win? Ummmm, dunno.  Will they actually score some goals? Ummmmm, dunno. Will Marty Brodeur be a big, fat fatty while his grease-covered former sister-in-law/wife looks on from their Fortress of Fatitude?  That is a definite YES.

Hopefully this also means that Avery will be a major pain in the ass.  He’s been in fine form lately with this:

So I’ve got high hopes for tonight.
