'blins and 'bolds

It all started with a drawing.  My buddy called it a goblin.  I insisted it is a kobold.
"No, it's a goblin"
"Wrong!  Kobold"
He left shaking his head.  What was the difference between what I drew and what he saw?  I had to spell it out.

On a sticky note.

Eventually, my stubbornness won.  Or he stopped caring.  We both finally agreed I was drawing a kobold.  It was my kobold, by my hand, from my head, in my universe.  We cleared that issue quickly enough (Unlike Edmonton City Council and Katz Group on completely trivial matters)
Then he asked me a question.  What's the difference between a wizard and a sorcerer?

Indeed.  Great question, great thought exercise.  I gave him a totally lame reply before he gave me his answer. A wizard learned and studied his magic, while a sorcerer naturally has ability to do magic so long as he has enough will power.

"Kinda like  Iron Man and Green Lantern?" I asked
"Uh, yeah sorta.  Ok, Yeah."

Moving on.  I started thinking quietly to myself.  What is the difference between:

Summoner and Warlock
Blademaster and Samurai
Priest and Cleric
Rogue and Thief
Fighter and Warrior
Shadow Knight and Dark Paladin
Ring Wraith and Dementor
Lich King and Witch King

Flashback

On the World of Warcraft general chat, I once posed the question  "What is a female warlock called?"
"Hmmm, Warlick?"  HAHAHAHA.  LOL.  Yeah...
The correct answer is, a witch.

Of course you'll have to make sure she floats like wood.
Or really small pebbles.  And weighs as much as a duck.

Therefore...


A WITCH!!!

Pushing Buttons

Back from the Christmas break and then some.

Got NHL 12 from my sister and 'rents for Xbox (which is pretty sweet).  However, I discovered that a round glowing circle screams "Push the button, PUSH THE GODDAM' BUTTON!!" to little toddlers.

Specifically my 15 month little girl.
So I taped it up.


Got some drawings to upload, just need to straighten it out a little.  I'm still around.
Did you catch the reference to Rush Hour?

你班PK, 無眼睇...

1st pick again.
30th place again.

Though I must admit the hope for next year feels real and so not inflated.  I have nothing really smart to say right now, but I’d like to share a couple of thought experiments:

In the long run, do we want to tank it one more year for one more first pick?

What if Pat Quinn were still coach?
What if Craig McTavish were still coach?

If Sam Gagner had a more skilled group around him,  would he be a superstar?
If Ryan Smyth stayed, would the Oilers be where they're at right now?

Do the Oilers need to be rebranded?  Completely new beginning, completely new jerseys?
Can I win Daryl Katz's favour if I redesign a new Oilers look?
Will I get to chill and hangout with the Octane?

No really. Sometimes its like, give the girls the sticks!  They're actually making an effort and working up a sweat.
