I fear that I may have been shortchanging any readers dropping in from NHL Bloggers lately, so I'll just make one quick comment here, regarding the recent "Number One" positioning of the Calgary Flames, in the Northwest Division this past weekend:

Yahoo!!

Ahem...

So, I read in the newspaper the other day that a Tigger mascot character in Disney World was accused of hitting a child, while they were posing for a photograph. Just another example of fluffy cartoon characters breaking down, you say?? I'm not so sure...

Here's my thought - that Tigger cartoon character was always way too jumpy for my liking. He exhibited all the classic signs of a personality on the verge of complete mental collapse.

As a matter of fact (and this is just me blowin' smoke out of my badonkadonk here), he always seemed to strike me as a cross between Tammy Faye Bakker, and a hypoglycemic chihuahua. I never bought into his "happy dance" crap - I could see the desperate cries for attention, through his bubbly facade.

Frankly, I'm just surprised he didn't crack sooner...

Chow for now!!
