April 26th is here, doo dah, doo dah.
Hey! My Los Angeles Kings beat the Colorado Avalanche in OVERTIME last night, to keep their playoff chances alive!
GO KINGS GO!
Nolan wants the Avalanche to win, because he always plays them as his team on PS2, so we had much fun last night, watching the game and cheering for our respective teams. Ryan isn’t that crazy about hockey, but he did watch the first period with me…then I hammered him in USA vs. The World mode on NHL 2002.
I really treasure things like watching a game, or playing PS2 with them. Nolan even tried to work the “Hey Wil, since this is such an important game, can I stay up past my bedtime to see what happens?”
So of course I didn’t give in…not. I let him stay up until the end of regulation, which was about 9:30…his bedtime’s 9, so that wasn’t too bad. When the Kings won in overtime (YEAH BABY!) I jumped up from the couch and gave one of those victory screams…you know the kind, right? I mean, unless you live in Chicago…or Sacramento.
Well, I gave one of those screams, and ran into the back of the house, not realizing that Nolan was probably asleep…until I got to his bedroom door, and saw him, lying on his bed, eyes shut. Without even opening his eyes he deadpans, “Kings won, huh?”
I love it when he deadpans stuff like that. I think he gets that from me.
So, I’ll be away for the weekend with The Guys(tm). There won’t be any more updates until Sunday night, or Monday night, depending on how crazy the weekend is.
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend, filled with magic and illusion!

Wil! You like the Atari’s?? Wow…you are one cool guy! Have you listened to their other cd? It’s an ass kickin’ album!
The Kings? THE KINGS? Please.
Yeah the Kings might beate Colorado, but guarantee they will be run over by the all mighty winged wheel!!
DETROIT’S GONNA KICK YOU’RE ASS!! REDWINGS GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!
Oh yeah, and how’s Luc Robitaille doing in the playoffs for the Kings? Oh yeah! Silly me!! I forgot he’s wearin’ the winged wheel now too!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!
Spudnuts will NEVER be kicked off of the soapbox.
Wanna know why?
Because he’s Spudnuts.
If you can’t understand this, well, there’s little I can do for you.
Hay hay hay, no picking on Sacramento dammit.
But that’s all I’m going to say. Whenever I go into megaKings mode, they suck donkey toes.
So I’m just not going to care about the game tomorrow. Maybe they’ll finally whoop some bootie.
As for hockey, I don’t follow it much. But if I do cheer, I cheer for Vancouver ’cause its my favourite city in the world, and I still wanna live there some day (tried to immigrate most of 2000… didn’t make it 🙁 )

KINGS ARE GOING DOWN!!!!
devils! new jersey devils! (only thing new jersey is good for…)
Kings Win……!!!! That will not happen again. They will never beat the Avalanche in the series! The Avalanche are the best and no one can beat them in NHL 2002!!!
Sorry to disappoint you, but I believe the Avs will put this series away tomorrow. Take heart though; We’ll also happily squash the red wings to spite that cannibal guy a few posts up… AVS RULE
Cheers,

The thing about rippin on Chicago, is well, you’re gonna get cut. I mean, but goddamn, I love ya Will, but it’s been a long time since I had to cut a ‘ho. Pheel the Phear :0
Ricky Lake, Jerry Springer, Mayor Daley …… coincidence ….. I think not. I’m sending Bob Probert over to pay you a ‘courtesy’ call.
Nolan’s a smart kid! The Avs are THE BEST… Even if they did have an off night… Damn it.
Q. How many tines does half a dinner fork have?
A. TWO tines.
PHILLY!! PHILADELPHIA FLYERS RULE!! FLYERS ARE GONNA….umm, nevermind.
GO SIXERS!!
Grumble…grumble…freakin’ Blues.
Oh well – time to concentrate on the real sports season in Chicago. White Sox season!
White Sox?
Shaaah. Whatever.
It’s all about the A’s, baby.
In addition, I find it ironic that now that there’s a proscription against “aol-kiddie’speak”, it’s all prevelent and everything.
On that note, I leave you with this note, brought to you by the Oakland Athletics and fans everywhere:
There’s no “A” in “sell-out”.

No shit?
Me, Sollozzo, Don Barzini, and Captain McCluskey watch “Toy Soldiers” every thursday.
I just KNEW Abe Vigoda liked little boys.
Freak.
Hey Wil, I live in Chicago and I get PLENTY of victory screams. Sure, the Blackhawks may have not made it past the first round, but they made the PLAYOFFS! And same goes for the bears. Not to mention the great run we had with the Bulls. So few good things can be said about Chicago sports management :-\ I remember when the Blackhawks were in the Stanley Cup finals – that was, what, ten years ago. Now, because of stupid f-ing management, they traded their best players and have gone downhill. But they’re on the way back up! So, watch out in the next few years!! 😀

hey Joseph J Finn – Sox?! How bout them CUBS?! 😀
Cubs, Schmubs.
A’s, baby, all the way.
There ain’t no “A” in “suck”.
Wil, I *know* you didn’t just dis Chicago. Right?
Right?
Hey Wil,
I just wanted to say that I’m glad that the L.A. Kings won too!
And thanks for the wishes having a good weekend!
Hope you have one too!
Hope you don’t mind me just coming here and writing, you know since I’m new and all!
From,
Lily
(from my middle name, Elizabeth!)
unca willie’s in Entertainment Weekly for Arena! Maybe he’ll be nice and post the pic.
Hey Wil,
Just saw you in an EW article about G4. Great to see you are getting popular press coverage!
Avalanche?
The team is named after a large downward-moving mass of rocks and mud and trees and shit?
Now THERE’S a metaphor for puck-hitting accuracy. “Watch out, man, we strike at your goal like a portion of a mountain falling down.”
Woah, look out, guy, there’s a hockey stick poking out of that mass of dirt and shit.
Don’t worry, I’ve got my trusty half-a-dinner-fork to dig out any survivors with. It’s twice as slow as a whole dinner fork, but I didn’t have the tine to go and get one from the cultery drawer.
DOO DAH! DOO DAH!
This has nothing to do with the topic. I was checking my site statistics and found it amusing that someone found my site by typing in WIL WHEATON TICKLISH.

Just to let you know, I had an awesome weekend! And it was filled with both magic AND illusion! Way to call that one, Wil!
…and some junk.

repeat, NOT ME.
ATTENTION: FAKE SOUP!
i am stunned. impersonate me? who would do such a thing?
i didn’t realise i had enough cache to be worth mocking.
KJB, don’t give that cache-stealing fembot any love which should otherwise rightly be mine.
kill the fembot.
kill the fembot.
kill the fembot.
although… the fembot IS funnier than me.
still.

best to be on the safe side.
i hear those things go loco hay-wire if they drink pineapple juice.
Well well well

Well fought series
Im upset with the wings nucks seriers

i hope LA kick there ass now
I HATE THE WINGS
Real hot soup girl, I thought you were making a clever joke on how poorly some people express ideas.
Dammit.
Kill the fembot, indeed.
Hey, we know victory screams here in Chicago too. I was watching when the Bears won the Super Bowl. I was watching all 6 times when the Bulls won the championship. We also have a soccer team that’s won their league championship.
Don’t feel badly Will….I live in the Philly area. I can’t stop crying. Damn, my month has been worse than your week.
So cheer up, dammit.
Umm, wtf?
You just became what you decried in your post. I thought you might like to know.
On the other hand, let’s be fairly nice to each other, because I know a whole heapin’, steamin’ lot of us are glad comments are back, and having craptacular “will, u r kewl i watn 2 met u” posts miiiiight just lose us our privilege.
There’s no “A” in “sucker”, but there is an “A” in “badass mofo” and “Wil Wheaton”. Sweet!
How long do people keep reading these comments anyway?
Tried a spork. Didn’t like it.
Yuck. Spork.
Sure, a wider implement, sure, but those half-length tines?
Add up the entire tine-material that you get in four spork-tines and you still only get two tines.
Not worth wasting my tine over.
Plus, you can’t eat soup – fake or hot – with a spork.
It dribbles.
Gimme sommadat SPOON action.
Oh, yeah. Spoony.
Spoony G.
Drop da bomb!
Drop da bomb!
Uh.
Yeah.
Someone, who resides at 24.49.147.197, is a complete and utter fucking moron of the highest magnitude. Whomever resides at 24.49.147.24 isn’t too far behind.
Go Wil.
The fembot is slain.
My cousin is in Chicago. He’s about to graduate from medical school… I think he hates it there though. Someone tried to mug him.
Anyways, playing video games is cool. If you ever get really really bored, try playing EverQuest with the boys. It’s a great family teamwork thing. My mother, brother, sister, and I all play. 🙂
The Tribunal is a good server. ;-D
I’d powerlevel you and the kids. 🙂
Glad you’re cheering up. 🙂
luv,

Ding dong, the hot soup fembot’s slain!

I have a couple friends going to school in Chicago. They amuse me greatly. I wonder how they’re doing…
