Side Kicks

The CFL season is over (kudos to the Stamps), the NFL is in full swing and the Canucks are kicking heiney; so where have we been? Digging up little gems like this for your viewing pleasure:

On the left is Detroit Red Wings Chris Draper on the right is yo Daddy, Chuck Norris. While the rest of you are reading this blog FOR FREE we’re here at the False Gods offices scouring the inter web – just for you. That’s right. Our readership comes first – I haven’t even begun Christmas shopping – hell, there might not even be Christmas this year at the Mitchel’s. 

Sorry honey, I didn’t get a chance to buy presents this year, but hey, check out this blog entry I did for…. hey where are you going?

Not that the job (ha, job, that’s funny) doesn’t provide valuable insights. For instance, when doing a GOOGLE for Chuck Norris, all photos have either a truck, explosion or old Glory in the background. I believe the backdrop in the photo above is Chuck’s bed sheets.

In case you missed it, the title of this entry is in reference to one of Chuck’s more family oriented pictures. Great for the holidays!

Glove tap to “The Finisher” for bringing this all to my attention.

To read more, here are the Wikipedia articles on the battle itself and the memorial.

The scene is Canucks GM Mike Gillis’s office at GM Place. It’s mid-morning, and the sun filters through the vertical blinds. Gillis lies flat on his back under his desk, feet pointing out. Three empty bottles of Crown Royal are lying on his desk. Head coach Alain Vigneault is asleep, snoring, in a chair facing Gillis’s desk. The phone rings insistently, and Gillis awakes with a start, cracking his head on the underside of his desk. The phone stops.
