Beard Of The Day – May 27th – Lieutenant Michael Murphy
In June of 2005, Lieutenant Michael Murphy led a four-man Seal team on a search for a Taliban leader in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province. Shortly into their mission, they were spotted by Taliban forces and a firefight broke out. Vastly outnumbered, around 50-100 Taliban to the 4 Navy Seals, Murphy and his team became pinned down in a steep ravine. Unable to get a radio signal from their position, Murphy left his cover and exposed himself in order to find a signal to call for help. While making the call, Murphy was shot several times but still managed to give support their position before picking up his rifle and re-joining the fight. Sadly, Murphy did not survive his wounds but thanks to his bravery, one member of his team did. Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Purple Heart and in 2012, a US Navy Destroyer was named in his honor.
Everyone have a safe Memorial Day. And to all the men and women serving, thank you.

The Denial Twist: Wings 1 – Hawks 4 (Wings lead 3-2)
Not today. Or yesterday. Whatever.
I wasn’t sure what the invasion of Jesus freaks outside the UC meant for the Hawks before yesterday’s game. Was God coming to help? Was he coming to condemn? One thing is for sure, I and all my readers are going to hell. Dude on the megaphone told me so. So you’ve got that going for you. (Sidenote, I love when these nutjobs get one of their kids to preach on the megaphone. Like that kid’s belief system doesn’t have a great chance of altering forever the first time he sees a pair of boobs.)
Anyway, the Hawks finally found some power play goals (you can score two in a game?), and pretty effortlessly closed out a 3rd period lead to keep breathing in these playoffs. What’s funny is that aside from the power play, and the lineup shuffle, I don’t know that all that much changed in this series.

Beard Of The Day – May 26th – Gene Parmesan
A true master of disguise, you can always count on Gene to track down any missing family members. Whether he’s dressing up as a firefighter, doctor or even sometimes just an idiot with balloons, Gene can always be trusted to be the best. He doesn’t do catering though, that’s Ice.
Enjoy the return of Arrested Development folks.

First Period Thread – Game 5 – Scum vs Hawks
I take a look around I don’t like what I see, a bunch of people who don’t know shit about unity. I see right through your skin, you say you see through mine. Then please explain to me why we fight all the time.
