One more...

My dad just reminded me of this Badger versus Sioux rumble as well.

Sometimes I wonder who these guys are that 1. have videotapes of college hockey games from 1982, 2. possess the technological knowhow to transfer VHS footage to digital format and 3. feel compelled to upload such footage to YouTube.

Whoever they are, they are truly doing God's work:

Wedding and Hockey

I was going to do a blow-by-blow post on the wedding I attended last weekend but I seem to have misplaced the pictures, which would have made it at least mildly interesting, so I'll keep it brief:

We watched these kids chase Canadian geese around for awhile to see if one of the kid's eyes would get snatched out of its socket, but nothing ever materialized:
