you fans in the U.S. might not be familiar with what the backwards peace sign means to the rest of the world.

it’s not good. from yahoo answers:

If your talking about the “V” for victory using two fingers, it does have meaning, depending on which way your palm faces. Palm outwards facing someone else means Peace, palm facing you while back of your hand faces the other person basically mean “F@K U, i’ve got mine“.

This symbol was derived during the middle ages when england was at war with France. Bowmen, or Long Bowmen (aka, archers) use two fingers to draw back their bow string and were the deadliest unit of their time. They were considered a prime targets by the emeny and, when captured, their drawstring fingers would be removed. Whenever an archer survived capture, and march through a couquered city, they would hold their drawstring hand up, back of hand facing outward, with their two drawstring fingers extended upward. This was their way of telling the enemt F U! I’ve still got mine!”

yikes!

(and so you don’t think the HASEK F-U sign was photoshopped in….not that we wouldn’t do that….here’s the original photo)

(word to your mother, i’ll sing it a cappella: we’re not suggesting dominik hasek is telling the world to f@k off. we’re suggesting that the two fingered symbol he is flashing is known throughout the world as the f@k off sign. we agree that he is probably acknowledging that he won his second stanley cup, but we think in heat of the moment, he had his hand turned in an unfortunate position. peace!)

Only a true blue faggot (or Lacross fan) couldn’t love what the Philadelphia Flyers accomplished with their 6-4 win earlier this evening. By defeating the Montreal Canadians (4 games to 1) in their quarterfinal series, the Flyers prevented yet another ridiculous Canadian riot. Fires were set by Habs fans after their 1st seeded Canadiens defeated the 8th seeded team in the Eastern conference semifinal series just last week, now mercifully their season is over and calm can reign in Montreal.

A similar riot occured just weeks ago during the college Lacross tournament in which the only fan from each team decided to fight each other after a bad call. Police were called to break up the event, but released each combatant due to lack of evidence. Apparently the police could not determine that a sport called “lacross” actually exists.

Save a few hockey survivalists, weall know hockey died out years ago. Our only hope is the rotting corpse of a sport no one cared about to begin with, save for a few colorful early seventies hockey cards featuring bald guys with mutton chops, will provide enough fossil fuel to get me to and fro the NCAA lacrosse Final Four for the next 5 years or so. 

We offer up to the Sporting Gords this pic of Dupes, closeted Canadiens fan in the 4th grade. Apparently he never saw the demise coming.

9:43pm

game over!!! flyers win!!!! Biron is a God! lots of Habs opportunities in the last minute. whew!!!!

corky is happy for all the flyers fans who overpay for tickets they can’t afford!

corky is happy for dupes. dupes is good people!

thanks for joining us on Corky Blogs!!

corky OUT!

9:41pm

did the eagles really take that dude out of mcneese state in the third round?

only 1:23 left, puck in the habs zone. habs pull the goalie with less than one left…..

9:40pm

marty biron has been spectacular. no matter what happens, corky wants to make that clear.

if the habs are putting this kind of pressure down a man, what’s going to happen in the final minute thirty?????

9:38pm

don’t know what happened to my last post…which was about a wet smelly poop that corky just laid down….but in that time, the Habs acquired and squandered a PP and now the flyers are on the PP with just 3:36 left. if you can’t put a game away, up 1, three and a half left, on the PP, at home…..then you’re just a friggin donkey.

lez see what happens….

9:22pm

hatcher’s major is finally over and the flyers look gassed and disspirited. this would be a good time to inject an illegal substance as a pick me up….but that presents many logistical and ethical problems. so their simply going to have to try to gut it out. umberger is still missing in the dressing room.

9:18pm

still 1:36 left in the major PP as the Habs score their SECOND goal of the PP! sacre bleu!!! fuck darien hatcher!!!

muthafucker!

Tired of watching his team cough up two goal leads, Flyers owner Ed Snider took immediate action by firing popular Head Coach, John Stevens.

“I cannot just sit here, game after game, season after season, decade after decade, and watch us continually cough up two goal leads!” said an angry Snider.

“We were very fortunate that a coach of Larry Brown’s caliber suddenly became available” Snider continued, “If he hadn’t resigned from the Sixers, we would likely be doomed to staying the course with Stevens”.

When confronted with the fact that Brown was already an employee of his and therefore had been available to coach all along, Snider snapped, “You Philadelphia media-types are all alike….you don’t know a God-damn thing about being a Jew in a Catholic town filled with underemployed Negros!!!!”

Brown, who presumably IS Jewish, stated “I’ll expect these kids to play basketball the right way or they won’t be here.”

When reminded that he is coaching a hockey team, Brown replied, “Hey…I’m not going to mince words…if they won’t play basketball the right way, they won’t be here.”

In a related move, the Flyers signed former Temple point guard Aaron McKie to a 7-year, $21 million dollar contract.

Dupes would just like to take a few minutes out of his busy day to tip a hat to Ron Hextall. Hexy was inducted into the (first place) Flyer’s Hall of Fame last night. This video shows why the winningest goalie in (first place) Flyer’s history revolutionized the position. You wanted to be no where around the net when this beast was between the pipes.

Awhile back we brought you news of a Jim Sorgi sighting. Like a Sorgi, Yeti or Sasquatch sighting, the goalies going wild is a rare event. Unsophisticates (such as phellow Flatusyahu contributers who shall go nameless) don’t get hockey fighting. Its a ritual as old as the game itself. You can’t have your big scorers flying around the ice subject to all manner of molestation. You’e got to have a goon to make the other guy pay for getting in your Ovechkin’s grill. There can be no Gretzky without Marty McSorley.

But what of goalies? What madness comes over these gentle giants that makes them want to leave the safety of the crease and seek out their counterparts in a frosty clash of the titans? We know not. But, with Flyer’s fans suffering through a four game losing streak, we thought we’d offer up the most awesome and rarest of sporting phenomenons, the goalie fight.
