My straight friend got hit on by a guy and I got jealous. What does he have that I don't!?

Warm, supple lips? A gentle caress? An odor of mangos and pineapple?

First of all, you went to something called Voodoo Fest, and that's a whole different line of questions I need answered.

Secondly, why would it make a difference? My male friend is gay and told me I was good looking, and I took it as a compliment.

- jmatchett383


First, Voodoo Fest is a music festival in New Orleans that has nothing to do with Voodoo. Second, it wouldn't change the way I responded to it, but I find it more flattering to get complemented by women than men. That could just be me I suppose.

We talked about this the other day. Based on Carcillo and Upshall's season and a half leading up to the trade, it was actually not that bad of a deal, and it's totally possible that Homer actually thought Carcillo would improve on his 13/11/24 rookie season. Didn't work out that way, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

based on the 79 games played before it was a terrible trade... 20 goals and 23 assists in 79 games is a good second line wingers #'s... Not a fourth line energy guy.

Are the Flyers butting up against the cap because of Giroux's contract?

/bad attempt at tying them together

- jmatchett383


not because of his contract, but because of Pronger's never-ending IR scenario, and other expensive deals on their average defense corps, as well as vinny, but i appreciate the attempt.

I got hit on by a lesbian once, after she accused me of being gay.

Still unsure how to take that 3 years later.

I'm sorry, but there was not one positive reaction to that trade when it occurred. The fact that we had to throw in a 2nd to sweeten the deal on furthers my point. It is literally impossible to argue that it was purely a cap move due to the lack of a RAINY DAY FUND. Cap mismanagement.

It's not so much the fest or the bands, but more that it's called "Voodoo Fest." What a terrible name. I wouldn't mind seeing Pearl Jam (if they just played the first 2 albums) or NIN, but the name makes it seem like it's gonna be nothing but Linkin Park and Disturbed.

Flyers traded Upshall+2nd for Carcillo to allow them cap space to bring up Giroux. I'd say that is a pretty clear scenario. Unless you're willing to argue that it was actually a fair trade? I feel confident in saying that how you answer this will make or break my opinion of you.
- steelydan


c'mon, homer said directly of carcillo: "the fans are gonna' love him."

case closed.

Yes, his 7 goals in 55 games that year was really lighting up that second line.

As long as no golf clubs are around when G is in the sauce, I'm ok with it.

When do G and the Village People memes start popping up?


- wolfhounds


That's hilarious. Well, we can at least say the flyers are news makers in the free agency period now. Jebus. Two years straight with craziness from G. He certainly goes off the rails in the offseason!

I admit the name is not great. But it had Ozzy Osbourne, Drake, Muse, Weezer, Florence + the Machine, Metric, and other cool bands, so I forgave it that offense.

Part of the fan reaction was the strange attachment people seemed to have to Upshall IMO. While I do think Flyer fans in general tend to underrate their players a bit, Upshall was definitely in the other direction

I would just like to say that all of the responses to my comment were very solid. Seriously, though, my friend does get hit on by guys a lot and I never even get a glance.

My gay friend says I don't come off as being gay and it has nothing to do with my looks. I don't trust him
