I remember the story at the time that every time he got hit in the face, he added another stitch. Which I assume now was just a cutesy tale to spice it all up. But, definitely, bad-ass design.

It's hard out there for a goalie, just ask Terry Shawchuk.

Exactly! It's not even like he was sacrificing his face for an income vastly in excess of the average annual take back then. Insane.

I'll spare y'all the Clint Malarchuck gif.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Thank you. I can't bare to watch that one. It was said at the time that if the trainer who sutured him was in the far bench rather than the closer one he would have been too late.

Anyway, I'm having some more of that peat-y, peet-y, smokey whiskey, got a dvd of Swans from 2013 playing (at least until the ballgame), and I'm working on edits to the diss that my supervisor suggested. This is what you have to look forward to in your late 40s, young 'uns.

God damn, this thread documents pretty well my descent from casual interest in craft to full blown beer nerd who does beercations, camps out for beer releases, and drops absurd amounts of money on beer.
