10,000!

Well, I did it, bitches. God, so many people to thank...

I want to thank my insomnia. It allows me to post late at night when more productive citizens than myself are probably resting and performing better at work the next day. I want to thank my student loans, which keep me at my home some days and nights when I could be out paying for overpriced drinks, playing golf, chatting with friends, or possibly getting laid. I want to thank the Washington Capitals, who have offered me nothing but pain, misery, and frustration for nearly three decades. And where better to go to have all those feelings compounded and re-visited over and over again than at Sports SportsHoopla.

But seriously, thanks to those that led the charge here from ESPN (I was a newbie to the Swamp NHL boards so it was nice to get an invite), the mods who run this place, and the many of you whose posts I sincerely appreciate and enjoy reading. I've learned so much more about hockey, I have less disdain for some of the teams I dislike (damn you reasonable Flyers and Pens fans!), and I appreciate the game more.

Cheers!

Calendarrrrr.... marked.

Okay, so I know there is a "Stevie" graphic and I've heard people reference this, but where does it come from? Just curious.

I will assume it is some kind of insult and say fuck off, Dash.

It's a reference to Stevie Wonder, who has a tendency to be how shall we say long-winded when giving acceptance speeches for awards.

Lol, far from it. I actually looked for a YouTube vid where award music plays as someone is ushered off the stage to interupt my own post with. Couldn't find anything decent. Yeah, brevity is not my strong suit. But then again, I think we could use a little less brevity in the world today.

So... if someone knows, who the hell IS the Stevie graphic then?

Congrats balding guy!

The Stevie smiley face . All I know about that dude was he was at the water cooler and was SportsHoopla's version of madpuppy. They eventually Shanabanned his ass.

Congrats eloco on this major accomplishment.

Lol. It ranks just below my high school sports record and just above my Grammy.

Feel free to steal from mine. Or better yet, do everything I didn't. Thanks Bill Brasky, you son of a bitch.
