It is time!! Better than Christmas morning. Call up your cable provider (I just did) and add HBO for $10/month so you can watch Penguins/Capitals Road to the Winter Classic on 24/7, starting tonight. Yesterday, HBO promised us so much vulgarity that you should “hide your kids.” If I had kids, they’d say, “F&$% that, I’m watching my dad on TV!”
I got extra excited by re-watching how excited Max Talbot is in this video. Bonus: He’s Dawn’s favorite.
Bring it on.
We also suggest you check out Puck Daddy’s Unofficial HBO 24/7 Penguins-Capitals Drinking Game. Their predictions had better all be true because I can’t think of a more entertaining hour of TV. Favorites:
• Mike Green is seen wearing sunglasses. (Bonus Drink: He’s actually outdoors.)
WUYS suggests: Another bonus drink if they’re those hideous white Kanye West glasses and Pants likes them anyway.
• You find yourself thinking, “Damn, that Brooks Laich is handsome.”
WUYS suggests: Drink now, you’re already thinking it. (Cassy!)
• Max Talbot eye-[expletives] his interviewer.
WUYS suggests: Audition for job as HBO interviewer.
Our last suggestion is to make your drink of choice something caffeinated (rum & Coke?) so you don’t fall asleep while Crosby is talking. Let’s hope the camera caught him doing at least one interesting thing. I’d settle for a particularly creative burst of cursing.
I may melt my DVR.
Excited for the game, I think Max is more EXCITING in the video (and isn’t Dawn a Caps fan??).
So, Pants, what you’re saying is I should just get drunk now, right? And yes, I will be watching the Winter Classic on ESPN Player :D. I introduced my nephew to hockey last year. He sat on my knee watching the game, aged 3. He is fully cogniscent of who Sidney Crosby and Patrice Bergeron are.
By the way, can someone record/buy/mug an HBO staff member for all the TV spots and DVD of this series? I’m UK bound and DEPRIVED!
PS Dawnie – fight you for a job as an HBO/Sports reporter with special Talbot interviewing assignments. 😀
Um … you forget to use ALL CAPS when referring to MAX TALBOT and also failed to mention to drink every time Ovi is shirtless. That will get you drunk the fastest – I PROMISE. 😉 Mr. Cherrie … please call Comcast and upgrade stat if it’s only ten bucks. I can whore myself out some more in December for screenings.
I only say MAX TALBOT because he makes me think in all caps. You know what I mean. There are also lots of exclamation points when I think of Max. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dun-diddly-dun missus CHERRIE…
I’m sick and just the thought of Ovi shirtless makes me want to hurl.
And I reckon Puck Daddy has been tuning into your blog; I’m CONVINCED he’s taunting me about Brooks as well.
After last night all I can say is OH MY GOD! CAN’T WAIT FOR 12/22 … YOW!
