] Burning questions in the wake of Dominik Hasek%u2019s
] announcement that he won't play for the Red Wings
] the rest of the season

I can't exactly say "I told you so", but I told you so. Hasek is flaky. We're talking about a guy who has 'retired' three times already. Is moody and mercurial. And frankly, I think Cujo is better.

Wings knew this might happen

] Colorado Avalanche defenseman Rob Blake has a broken left
] leg and will be out indefinitely.

heh heh heh...

] Heard about Detroit's best-kept secret? There's a
] spectacular neighborhood just north of downtown.
]
] You haven't seen it?
]
] That's because it doesn't exist -- yet.
]
] The area, for decades one of Detroit's most blighted
] sections, is undergoing widespread redevelopment, but its
] condition is still pretty ragged.
]
] Blight? No problem. Detroit tourism officials simply made
] the abandoned buildings disappear.

] It's Desi night, an after party for a dance

oh no... everyone get all riled up that the Indians are stealing our MUSIC too! ;-)

Bhangra blasts into pop music

] Goaltender Dominik Hasek, who tried to make a return to
] the Red Wings after a one-year retirement, will not play
] the remainder of the season and the playoffs because of a
] recurring groin injury.

Thank GOD! Can you imagine what would've happened had we traded Cujo???

GAME ON!

It's official: Hasek finished for the season

] I was 23-24 years old when I wrote these diaries. I
] certainly wasn't planning on publishing them when I wrote
] them; so reading them now either makes me laugh, cry or
] cringe. I will not make any claims to being a gifted
] writer or diarist, but the aim here is to give the reader
] some sense of what it was like to tour across the USA in
] a van with a punk rock band in the mid to late 1980's.
] Some say this was the heyday of independent rock music
] and the college radio scene. I would bet we worked harder
] and played many more shows than many of today's
] 'alternative' rock bands will play in their short-lived
] careers.

Dean Clean has put up a Moveable Type blog, and is posting commented entries from his journal covering the Milkmen's first tour. Other members of the band are also adding comments. You can follow the band on their tour, 18 years lagged.

Also, they have a number of music videos available for download from their main website.

The Dead Milkmen are required listening. Don't trust anyone who says they do not like The Dead Milkmen.

] My mother is insane. Like, one of those ladies you see on
] the local news insane. Since it's inevitably going to
] come up I'll get out of the way that I am too, but at
] least I take a full dose of my medication. I've been
] meaning to make this thread for about the last year, but
] the longer I waited the more interesting the situation
] became. Also, I'm incredibly lazy. Case in point, these
] pictures are about three weeks old. Anyway, lets take a
] tour of our house.

This is truly amazing. Guy catalogs his mothers addiction to ebay. There is very little of this house not covered in stuff. Worth a look.
