Just in case you were wondering just how pathetic the Blues are right now, I offer this humble anecdote for your amusement:
This evening after getting home from work, exhausted, I checked my voice mail to find that the St. Louis Blues had called me. That's weird, I thought -- did I apply for a job I don't remember..? I know some people who know people who work there -- maybe they referred me. Hmmmmm... So I played the message...
Hi, Christian, this is Bob Jones with the St. Louis Blues just calling to let you know that there are great seats available for most of the upcoming games, plus we have some three-game packages and one of them includes the night we're retiring Al Macinnis' number. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you about buying some tickets, so please give me a call back at your earliest convenience...
Ok, they're calling hockey fans ONE BY EFFING ONE NOW?? How utterly sad! I guess someone should've thought harder before they tanked this team. I used to love Bill Laurie but I'm really happy to watch his $140M asking price go down the toilet while he continues to lose money because no one wants to watch the team that he didn't invest in.
. . . . .
In other news, Mairet is the BOMB and my boss is a close second for letting me off work so I can bum a ride to the DM show in Chicago with Ms. Thang. Sometimes, you know, life takes a break from sucking so utterly badly. :)
