Court Jester

And now we must discharge a debt of honor. Please check out these articles by Sharks blogger and Wiki-pirate extraordinaire Megalodon, the best writer at BoC. I know, I know; he's an exinct fish with poor taste in teams. But his sense of humor makes a trip over well worth it. Just know that BoC is cesspool before you click.

• A historic tour through Winnipeg: everything you didn't want to know about that frosty, stabbity city in the north: "I assumed that most of the crime in Winnipeg was probably minor Canadian stuff. You know what I mean: driving while under the influence of poutine, moose-jackings, stuff like that." Boy was he wrong...
  Wiki-Sharks! A run through Wikipedia's facts about the players. Logan Couture's brother gets the legal department involved. Ruh roh!
• Brent Burns' sex pants: a detailed guide. His Twitter is the best thing that ever happened to BoC after burritos./

How does he come up with these things all by himself? Ask Meg!
