Happy 26th Birthday, Mike Green! People born between October 11 & 12 are especially awesome, wouldn’t you agree? We should get today off work in DC, since we had to work Columbus Day. Alleged discovery of North American continent? Who cares. Obvious location of Mike Green World Domination HQ? Approved. We could post the Cribs […]
Thanks for the birthday wishes and to Chuck for the birthday, er… show. Another great birthday show was was last night at the Capitals/Lightning game! Points for all – except the big names. Each team had 10 players on the score sheet, without contributions from Ovi, Backstrom, Green, Semin (until the shootout), Stamkos, St. Louis […]
I have decided that if the Blackhawks have Tazer Cats, the Capitals are going to have the “Cat-ipals” and who else to better represent them as a mascat than MARU. In Japanese, his name means circle and that is exactly what the Capitals will be running around their opponents this year so in honor of their opening win, my birthday […]
Gator and I had the best time ever at the Caps Home Opener on Saturday. First of all, the warm-up skate. Mike Green, no helmet, cruising around like the Fresh Prince in Summertime – “Two miles an hour so everybody sees you.” Yes, he’s fresh from the barber shop and basketball courts in the summer […]
It’s time to predict the eventual winners for the 2011-2012 season, so we can look smart and important when spring rolls around. Or not. Last year we all picked some combo of the Caps, Blackhawks, Canucks and Penguins [link]. That 25% result is less than the chance that Intern Jeff Skinner’s going to take you […]
Mike had a goal and an assist in last night’s Caps vs. Blackhawks game, just to make sure I had something to cheer about. Mike talked afterward about30-35 min/game being too much at the pace of today’s NHL – he’s had issues with mental and physical fatigue because of total TOI. It’ll be interesting to […]
The Capitals Convention was Saturday – Gator and I are now we’re double-extra-super excited for hockey season. Oh, and this. No big deal. The day started with Gator and Slapshot fist-pumping around 11 AM (it’s never too early). As you can see we are already holding beers. Liz got to see a real live Red […]
Here at Mike Green World Domination HQ, we are REALLY excited about there being a hockey game today. So we had a staff meeting, and said “What could be even better? Let’s go for the extra dose of awesome.” Here it is, in the form of Mike pushing a little girl on a swing. While wearing moccasins. […]
I’m late again this week, because my Vespa broke down and I had to wait for Brooks to come and fix it (in a suit, in the rain). No really I was at a wedding this weekend. Caps training camp started and @spanrows sent us lovely evidence that Mikey sharpened his hair during the off season. […]
Right now, right down the street, Mikey and Nicky are building a playground. SERIOUSLY. I should be speeding up Rhode Island Ave NW right now in my dress and heels. Maybe Nicky has a pair of stripey red shorts I can borrow. Why do I not know about these things in advance? Why am I […]
Sorry I’m late! Jeez, Mondays are tough. This is a special edition for Elisha! Today at Rookie Camp, Caps prospect Garret Mitchell did an interview [link]. Strangely no one asks him if he’s willing to be MG52’s stunt double and understudy. He’s clearly trying to make the team by emulating someone. But let’s be honest, […]
Ovi crashed the Caps rookie camp yesterday and skated with the newbies! He sported the fashionable black jersey with his named slapped on the back and skated along with all the other young bucks. For being slagged as not so hands on (I protest & wish!) and for supposedly not being in shape – so not […]
Deb submitted this video with the Tweet “Brooks Laich showing Tanger up in the workout department.” Ladies, discuss. My first thought was, “Ha ha (insert Beavis and Butthead laugh), they said ‘lower body’.” Then (out loud), “Stop, you’re hurting my knees!” and then “Why are you wearing a life preserver?” It is, of course, a weight […]
I swear before I saw the photo I thought this might have been Pants & Gator or Pants & her friend NY Ranger fan or Pants & Chuck or Chuck & a friend. Some combination above. And they were going to run 10 blocks to get me Ovi’s autograph and tell him how much I love him since I was stuck […]

I… I, er…. um… what? Oh. Here at Mike Green World Domination HQ, I had two thoughts immediately upon seeing this. 1) Sweet baby Jesus in the manger. 2) Should have saved that HP joke, because it’s better here: I just died so hard I turned Mike Green into a horcrux. Alas, you know the truth. […]
The Hockey News has predicted the Washington Capitals will win the 2011-12 Stanley Cup. We feel Dawn’s hand in this. I admit this wouldn’t make me as sad as it used to. Once clear of whatever round involves the Penguins, I would cheer for the Caps. Dawn would visit, and make signs. Gator and I would cut […]
Every week, you try to ignore Monday. You pull up your socks but still it won’t go away. Monday is just so obvious and frankly intimidating that you turn your back and find something fascinating across the room. Because if you can’t see Monday, then Monday can’t see you. Right? I think Mike knows how […]
The only thing Ovi loves more than a party? Sweatpants. He attended the birthday of Russian singer/actor Andrei Grigoriev-Apollo in his best duds. No wonder Dawn loves him. Things we love: If you Google “Ovechkin sweatpants,” this photo of Dawn’s rear end makes the top search results.
It’s hot as hell outside and all I wanna do is this. #isitoctoberyet ??
