Yes this is a cheap plug for Melt Your Face Off but they are the first to appear in our thirty plus blog tour de force on Bloguin. After all, to spotlight these fine hockey bloggers of humor extraordinare was poetic in so many ways. I even heard they had their contract extensions rejected because the CEO thought they were too front loaded. They have also likely locked female bloggers in a room for hours just to see what happens and recorded it for our amusement. Keep in mind, some of this may not be true but the frame of mind is what MYFO fans have come to expect.
Topics have ranged from Joe Thornton’s love life to Jonathan Toews to child labor and back again. If you need a good laugh and you like your laugh served with a side of hockey, then Melt Your Face Off is for you. I heard they still liked my “None Of The Above” idea. I also did not know dollar bills could be used as toilet paper like the guys from MYFO portray or they had enough money to pull this off. Color me impressed.
However so far one of the crowning posts I have seen from this fine blog had to be the CBA Blues. It is simple but funny. Really that sums up the entire effort of MYFO…to try and be easy to read and funny. Here are those lyrics:
I got a mean old commissioner
You know he always do me wrong
I got a mean old commissioner
You know he always do me wrong
He gonna lock us all out next year
Cause the Flyers paid too much to Prongs
Them boys down at the union
They don’t know just what to do
Them boys down at the union
They sure don’t know just what to do
Tell me to save up my incentives
Maybe somehow we’ll make it through
[blistering guitar solo]
The owners are all colluding
You know they wanna break us down
Yes, the owners are all colluding
They surely want to break us down
Because their salary cap ain’t working
And they know they look like clowns
I sure don’t want to play in Sweden
The weather is just too damn cold
I don’t even want to play in Russia
Food tastes like its three days old
I guess I’ll just say home a while
My wife can teach me how to fold
So please listen to me children
You know what you got to do
Lord, please listen to me children
There’s only one thing you can do
Buck up and pay higher prices
So I can afford that BMW
We heard the guitar solo is just a recording because their contract extensions were rejected. I am guessing our CEO, Mr. Ben Koo, will have to fork them over the cash advance so this song can see the light of day. After all, if we do not, we are going to have to sadly pass the donation bucket out to the readers and no one wants to see starving bloggers roaming aimlessly. It is the world’s most scary proposition other maybe a drunk Ed Belfour in a cop car. Really no one wants to ever have to go there.
So hats off to the blog Melt Your Face Off for being our first victim err blog in the spotlight. For the record, we demand a piece on the new US Hockey Hall Of Fame inductees. There has to be something humorous amongst that class. Jeremy Roenick cried, Derian Hatcher is slow, Kevin Hatcher trips on blue lines, etc. You get the idea.
Just do not forget also that Hjalmarsson is Swedish for Apple. Somewhere that IPod is running for its life….waiting for the Swedish Chef to get wind of all of this. Cheers to a great blog and keep up the funny because every hockey fan needs a great big laugh and quite a few this time of year.
