Damn if I knew you were going to be without a jersey I would have sent down my autographed number 74.

Saturday before we left, Lady asked me for the who knows how many nth time “do you have everything? are you sure you have everything? To which i responded “well if I don’t it ain’t coming with us”. . ., . . ., . . . so my Caps jerseys and DH shirt are still in Bmore next to where the suitcase was

OMG, that sucks! I just did a search for a sports shop in Dallas that might have Capitals Sweaters/Jerseys and came up empty.
Have fun anyway. It should be a good game.

Well i’m not that worried about the Stars game, I bought Lady & I Stars jerseys as they’re my third team ( and Lady looks hot as hell in hockey jerseys, and in green 😈). Besides, when two of my teams are playing, I always wear the home teams jersey and a t-shirt of the visiting team underneath, primarily out of respect for the fans. As I see it, it doesn’t matter [size=78%]who you want to win, you’re a guest in someone’s house. If they are great hosts, respect then and be as gracious as possible. This is how I met our people here who are now our lifelong friends.[/size]
Also our or freinds here alec highly known and respected Stars fans. They’re the Stars equivalent to Goat/Horn guy. . . so it’s be a dick move on my part to wear/openly root for the visiting team while hanging out with such awesome and generous people.
A great story that gets repeated a lot, is I get thanked several times by the Stars STHs every time I come here . . . this is because my friend is the fans STH president and asked me for suggestions, so I told em about how the Caps (used to) have there STH party at 6 Flags, so to have an STH party there (particularly as the Arlington 6 Flags is better than Wild World)
Regardless, I’m more concerned about the Vegas game, but I will get Lady and I GK jerseys. Because his many times can you get a jersey from a teams first year?
Mickstix:
Need to either put DC on a beer limit or his thumbs need a diet? lol :o ;D Hope you kids have a great time out of town!! You two have got me to adopt Dallas as my 2nd team, due to the single fact that their goal "chant/song" is bad ass!! Hope you get to hear it (once) coupled with a couple bouts of crowd "silence" tonight! :P

On a side note, the term "travel log" originates from the 15th century in England, where migrant peasants looking for work, would offer wood for locals to burn in exchange for a warm place to sleep. It became common, and somewhat of an expectation that migrant workers would bring some small offering in exchange for quarter. During the ice age, this was most often wood to burn, though sometimes it might be a small meat offering, relatively clean cloth, or an unwanted virgin. Unwanted virgins were common at the time, as most people were exceedingly unattractive due to harsh winds, open sores, and dental hygiene deficiencies; while meat and relatively clean cloth were exceedingly uncommon.
In Old English "travaille logue" - as you can see the French Norman influence on the term.
I love words... I guess you might say I'm an amateur entomologist.
Hope you guys have a frackin fantastic time :D
Have fun Lady and DC! Don't do anything I wouldn't do...
Maacoshark:
Well DC I hope you and Lady enjoyed that excellent game. And the right team won. I'm glad Dallas started Bishop over Lehtonen. Bishop didn't have a great game.
