No, I didn’t bother to run the post through babelflush, or the google translaughter.  I can only imagine what it says, and it probably has to do with ferrets, canned yams and batman underwear.  Since most of you are just messing around at work (I know this;  I read the traffic patterns) click the link and gimme a reasonable translation.

“Slap Shot”  was loosely based upon a true story about the sale of a losing hockey team.  The movie featured brothers Steve and Jeff Carlson with David Hanson;  all three were professional hockey players.

Hanson substituted for the third Carlson brother Jack, who had been drafted by the Edmonton Oilers and couldn’t make the filming. (Jack had a nice record on his own, piling up 1,111 penalty minutes in 508 professional games.)

6 June 1944 – D-Day

Today, 6 June, is Memorial Day in South Korea and National Day in Sweden.

But more importantly, it is the Anniversary of the 1944 Normandy Invasion of Nazi-held France, commonly referred to as D-Day. There were many D-Days and H-Hours, but most folks remember this one.

God bless the brave and the fallen, who selflessly pulled it off with honor… on our behalf.

Veteran Amy Oops has a nice tribute as well.
