This "top 5" thing on FB must be a new thing or something; lots of people have it now.
But the one category I saw on someone's profile was just plain nonsense.
Ken picked their (5) for "Pick Your Five Favorite NHL Teams". What are yours?
Okay. Seriously?
Five favourite teams? For the record, this person selected Dallas, Anaheim, Philadelphia, Washington, and San Jose.
Okay, no offense, but that's really dumb. This would be something if it said "top 5 logos", but it doesn't.
How can one like five teams? (NO, this isn't a shot taken at Rick. As you can clearly see, the person in the example above is called "Ken.") Is it like, each weekday of the week you like a different team? Or is it like if one team loses, you disown them and claim support for the others?
What about the playoffs? Suddenly you have five shots at winning the Cup?
Even if you wanted, say, a team from each division, that's still pretty dumb. And I can't see how any Stars fan, for example, could also be a Ducks and Sharks fan.
Crazy.
"Showing Their Scales" and "The Hockey Farmer"
We are pleased to introduce the works of local B.C. authors KP Wee and Farhan Devji to you:
"Showing Their Scales" contains three tales of lies, lust, and deception. These are short novels which deal with betrayal and revenge, with three main male characters and how they end up hurting the women in their lives.
**Catch an episode of BlogTalkRadio here with KP's interview on his books, recorded Dec 29, 2008.**
"The Hockey Farmer" is a story about Logan Watt, who hails from Cochrane, Alberta, and has to decide whether to rehabilitate the legendary family farm or pursue an unlikely career in professional hockey. The story also shifts to Vancouver and contains numerous Vancouver Canucks references.
