Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Evander "Kane-nine" and Maxim "Afino-bark-ov" of the Atlanta Thrash-Dogs.
Okay, so there is no such organization called the Atlanta Thrash-Dogs, but I had to come up with something clever in my pecan pie-induced haze. Anyway, apologies to anyone who actually reads this blog as I have neglected to update this site with a new entry in just about a week, which was coincidentally the last time the Thrashers "won" a hockey game, in OT over the Stars. To this date, the T-birds have not yet earned a victory in regulation time during the month of December. I guess you could say the Thrashers have been playing a bit like dogs lately...sorry.
Our favorite team's defense has been as sad and pathetic looking as these lovable labs with big antler "hats" over the past couple of weeks. I think I read somewhere that the Thrashers have yielded an average of 5 goals over the last 4 games. To quote our esteemed blogging colleague, Bill "Rawhide" Tiller, that is very much "UNGOOD!" The long, seven game road trip, which just commenced last night with a 6 - 4 ass-drubbing at the hands of the Boston Bruins, picks up anew with a game in tawdry Tampa against the 'Ning Saturday night. Hopefully, Tampa's team will ingest just a bit more turkey, ham and egg nog over the two-day NHL respite from game action so that we can see our team get that December regulation-win monkey off of their collective backs.
I'm sure the players would love to see this "cold December fly away" as quickly as possible, but they can still salvage a respectable month by cobbling together two or three wins from Tampa, New Jersey (on Monday) and Boston (again, on Wed). If not, then we inch dangerously close to the edge of a steep precipice of darkening and desolate despair. Right now, we are immersed fully into a maddening well of futility and erratic play, but hopes remain for a swift and timely turnaround as December turns to January and 2009 is rendered complete and final in its inexorable unfolding of yet to be written history. Okay, this has turned into a melodramatic, meandering stream of less than poetic consciousness. A simple, heartfelt extension of well wishes for a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Blessed New Year's would have sufficed. So that!
Be safe and merry this holiday season! May you all be blessed with good health, good fortune and prosperity in the upcoming New Year.
With warmest regards, Mr. Speaker

Love the dogs, sorry your birds are playing like dogs instead of flying around and getting sticks and stuff to ensure the nesters win.
Man, I can't get this to post!

Were you the one commenting on the dogs vs birds? Cute. Thanks for chimin' in LaVida!
Yep, that was me, the annoymous poster! I am learning but your blog takes my comments easier than Krisabee's -- I think she has a glitch in the blog. I have hit post button more than once to get it to take.
