Wow it's been a while since I've visited this thread. Anyways, I was just wondering if the zerogravityfat that Paul Bissonette just mentioned on twitter is the zerogravityfat from here. If it is, DUDE YOU LUCKY SON OF A BITCH.

Nick · « **Reply #141 on:** July 07, 2011, 11:05:00 AM »

Yeah, that's definitely him, cool beans Zero.

^^oh I know generally what it is^^ But I don't have a phone with a data plan, and I sit behind a firewall SO massive at work that 99% of the photos on this board are red X's. Also, all javascripting has been permenantly disabled and I'm running IE7 without any other choice.

furthermore 75% of all twitter accounts are inactive within 3 months of activation....

still...my ignorance does extend to not understanding half of what I read in tweeted messages....hashy something orother...numbersignnumbersign???....

twitter is a tool for tools to show of their tool-i-ness. but it's very useful for news that break, so i started following hockey news people and bloggers a few summers ago and primarily use it for that purpose.

biznasty is a superhero from phoenix who's a 4th liner for life (incidentally the reason he tweeted back, i told him i'm buying his tshirt that says 4th liner for life - his shirts benefit the homeless in phoenix, hence his rise to power) who basicly is a benchwarmer. he tweets the most fucked up shit that he would fit right in at five8. most convo is on taking a shit, yoga pant girls, and random homeless guy hang outs. he has a favorite homeless guy in vancouver called spoons, who himself became famous for the interactions.

just a giant ongoing meme in person i guess, fun to follow and laugh about. also, if you can burn him bad enough, he will retweet it for the world to laugh. my last attempt at burn was when he came to nj for the game, i told him i have great seats for the game if he wants to watch up close. no dice on that one. i guess the last one caught his attention.

Biz is hilarious, I get to hear him on local radio all the time during the season. Talks about dating a girl but when he's out of town he's meeting his ex gf or going out. Major joker and quite entertaining.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #148 on:** July 09, 2011, 07:21:32 PM »

now i got biznasty following me on tweet, gotta pick up the game lol

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #149 on:** July 10, 2011, 06:02:01 AM »

ahh yes him

They had him on the TSN panel briefly in the play offs I think. It's not like Yotes were really ever in the playoffs so I don't think he had anything better to do.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #150 on:** July 14, 2011, 05:36:14 PM »

OH FUCK YES! CAM JANSSEN IS BACK IN NEW JERSEY BABY! we have our nut back.

sounds intriguing, clarkson loves him so that will help. he has something to work with in jersey unlike florida so we'll see how he does.

stamkos gets 5 years in tampa.

Yeah...I saw this a few days ago.

I'd be a LOT more impressed if I see this happen with a little more on the line.

Doc Emrick joins NBC exclusively, ending 21 years with the Devils. I think he will have his 'number' on the rafters this season or next. What a man.

I love the guy. I got nervous when I saw that he retired, but was extremely relieved to find that I'd still be able to hear him for national broadcasts.

A better pic of the new logo:

Mr. Beale · « **Reply #159 on:** July 23, 2011, 08:39:02 AM »

Hmm, not sure I care for the leaf since there is already a team using that as a logo and all, but looks good otherwise. A bit plain but clean.

chknptpie · « **Reply #160 on:** July 23, 2011, 08:57:14 AM »

I like it!

Global Laziness · « **Reply #161 on:** July 24, 2011, 09:36:14 PM »

I'm reserving any full judgment until I see the jerseys.

Jarlaxle · « **Reply #162 on:** July 25, 2011, 03:12:04 PM »

The Jets logos are ugly compared to their vintage stuff, but of course it is all just marketing and now every Jets fan will run out to grab the new jersey.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #163 on:** July 26, 2011, 10:08:43 AM »

Are you kidding? The original is only matched by the isles logo for ugliness.

Mr. Beale · « **Reply #164 on:** July 26, 2011, 10:52:05 AM »

Eh, the 90s Jets logo was okay but nothing special. It would of changed by now had the team stayed in Winnipeg anyway.

From what I've seen the logo looks better on merchandise.

Makes the silver pop out nicely

I assume you refer to the Ghost of Captain Highlander....and not the logo that one 4 Stanleys in a row.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #166 on:** July 26, 2011, 12:45:47 PM »

no i refer to all of those, a long island map with a shitty font on the bottom is nowhere near passable as a logo.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #167 on:** July 26, 2011, 01:47:00 PM »

BLASPHEMY!!!

Need I remind you....that red and green shall not be seen....except inside the washing machine. You and your christmas avenger uni's can suck it!

ytserush · « **Reply #168 on:** July 26, 2011, 06:25:19 PM »

The Islanders logo is awesome!

There isn't a logo in the entire league and possibly all of sports that depicts what the team is about and its position in its community.

I actuallly like the Prince spaghetti unis better, although I have to admit that the black as applied in the context of the Devils jersey is very tasteful.

More often than not, the use of black on jerseys tend to detract from them in spite of black being popular from a "sales" point of view.

I like the Jets logo on paper but I don't like it in the context of that cap at all.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #171 on:** July 28, 2011, 12:13:35 PM »

nothing like some stinky nj garbage coming out to the island.
Well done.
I can think of a couple DOZEN other ways to get to the cap floor.

Pathetic.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #172 on:** July 28, 2011, 12:27:36 PM »

lol an offer sheet to one of the rfa's would have been a better bet. lou is a genius.

though to be fair, he did play well second half of last season, and should do well in the island if he's top two line. we just didn't have space for him and his wide left cannon of a shot. glass insurance in nassau just sky rocketed.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #173 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:16:20 PM »

ya....on the second line with Yashin, should be fun.

I"ll be in New York City over the weekend with the family....I'm excited.

The Lightning? For the sake of argument I'll go along with the obvious stretch of the Lightning bolt representing Florida (Maybe one of the alternate logos has something, I don't know) But where on the logo is there any sign that the team plays hockey?

Rolston-Hunter Trade?

Good deal for both teams. Hunter didn't have a spot on the Islanders anymore and Rollie is versaltile enough to provide leadership and play on both special teams units.

If Hunter is healthy, he'll be a more than solid fit on the Devils 4th line or he'd be somewhat easier to buy out/demote than Rolston should that decison have to be made.

Islanders have the cap room and if Rollie has a good year, he can be traded for futures at the deadline or sign for less money.

Too pretty smart GMs making a trade in this case that fixes a problem.

As a big fan of both teams, I like this trade. Perfect timing for it too.

Unfortunately for me, I have this really bad feeling the Islanders are history in Nassau after 2015.
