I'm still not positive he got that "that's what she said" joke

I would hit this SO HARD.

I promised I would make a really orange Flyers post once I got my super fly G shirt in a few days. So brace yourselves, because it will be really orange. :D And full of love.

This post is basically to share the most embarrassing videos in the world, brought to you be Jeff Skinner being the cutest, most earnest thing whom I adore. I need a palate-cleanser last night especially with regards to women and, yeah. Despite the jackassery of Bob & the Showgram (which I never listen to at home because I seriously hate talking on the radio unless you're NPR), Jeff Skinner's good boy roots shine through, and it is painfully obvious how he was brought up to (and does) respect women. It made my heart swell a gazillion sizes, ugh.

(I also maybe went "hnnggh" out loud at one point because of THOSE FUCKING DIMPLES so you can just kill me now because obviously I am unfit to live.)

The whole interview is hilarious - but mortifying. If you can't stomach watching it, here are the highlights.

The kid's also good at hockey. In case we, like, forgot or something.


In other news, Geno compares Sid to Lionel Messi and Mei realizes, that's true! NO WONDER I WANT HIM TO FALL DOWN AND CRY A MILLION TEARS.

Does it come off like I don't love the Pens? I do! They're just my favorite team to mock, and I will always be supporting the Flyers/Caps/Canes/Hawks over them if they play. But! Sidney Crosby giggling like he's high is a personal delight. ♥ As is the picture where he can't put his hands in his fucking pockets at the fucking Kentucky Derby alskfldks jesus christ, who are you, Sidney Crosby, and why do you fail at life?

ugh, Jeff Skinner.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

basically all I want to yell at him is BE GOOD. but he's, like, got that covered? Most of the time it seems.

So, uh. TAKE FEWER STUPID PENALTIES.

[altri-uccelli.livejournal.com]

Nnnggg, that's some straight up arm porn. And G's hair looks kinda good, too. *__*

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I need some G/Flyers icons. AND CAPS.

I, uh, maybe had a tab with that pic open all day at work. Maybe.

[altri-uccelli.livejournal.com]

But, is he like standing in front of some big semi-fake-looking rocks while holding a hockey stick? It sort of reminds me of elementary school pictures when you had to lean casually against a faux fence or hold some kind of prop. It's a little bit hilarious, but whatever, G transcends anything, even a plaid suit. (I did REALLY fucking love his lavender shirt, though. So nice with his hair.)

I might have been staring hypnotically at this all day:

[meiface.livejournal.com]

ahahaha I didn't even notice the background until you pointed it out. It is like those cheesy school picture backdrops! G's senior picture~ with his hockey stick to show his interests~

Clearly he should be in some sort of HSAU. Not sure how it'd work, what with Danny being so much older... Teacher/student? College tutor/student? :D?

The lavender really was nice. So's blue. :D

[altri-uccelli.livejournal.com]

ohnonononono now I have a ficworm in my brain that's about G coaching peewee hockey and connecting with one of the Brière kids who's been acting out and being surly and failing school due to stress from the divorce? and Danny's just desperate for anyone who can help turn things around so he hires G for the summer as like a nanny or tutor or something, part time because he'll be doing strength training all summer before the AHL or NCAA hockey or I dont know what. It's always hard to figure out how AU to make these scenarios, exactly.

&tropes;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

That sounds brilliant. *___* And of course the boys get SUPER ATTACHED to Claude and Danny has all these Guilty Feelings about the things he wants to do to his kids' tutor and besides, he's a KID, practically, and yessss. Feelings. *___* And UST. So much UST.

[2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com]

Man, seriously. He and Danny make me want to rethink my stance on babies. Because I seriously would have theirs.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

♥ Ginger-Asian babies will either be terrible OR THE CUTEST THINGS OF ALL TIME.

[2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com]

Our children would be amazing. So much sex. Too bad G is way too young for me and Danny is used goods. I'd still climb them like tiny little saplings. :3

[meiface.livejournal.com]

...sometimes I conveniently forget G is younger than me. I mean, no one is younger than Jeff Skinner, so I basically have quit feeling bad about everyone else.

[2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com]

Dude, I can't forget that he's younger than me.... Most of them are. :( It also doesn't help that G looks older than me, so I kinda forget sometimes. Well at least he's old enough to buy me a drink...or for me to buy him a drink without getting arrested for attempting to corrupt someone underage. Mei. But it's okay. I swear. My love of G is pure. A love of a hockey playing beast. With possible moments of extreme temptation to pounce and lick. Is it better of worse that I would still take Danny over G? Because I'll admit to loving G as more than just a sex object...but Danny...let's just say that even the playoff beard looked good on him this year. I want a cuddle with Mr. Mom

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha you take Danny and have your way with him. You don't love him more than as a sex object thought?! I disbelieve.

Ugh G, so fly so fly. If I ever write again, it will be some Danny/Claude porn. Domestic or AU, idk. BUT THEY DESERVE SOME PORN DAMMIT.

[2naonh3-cl2.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying that I ONLY love Danny as a sex object...he's more than that to me. He rates higher than G...and G is just slightly more than a sex object. :P

If I'm not making much sense...well, you know how my life has been. It's gotten crazier and I just spent the last few hours being berated by my sister for not making time for family the last few weeks/months. She was bitching me out while I was driving and in tears. Who the fuck does that. Especially because of what the hell my life has been the last few months. Who wants to be in a car while the driver is crying? I wouldn't. WTF is my life. I might call tomorrow to complain. *collapses*

If you write that fic I would adore you so. God knows I need a happy place right now. :(

[meiface.livejournal.com]

...wtf, doesn't she know what you've been going through in the past two months? Piling on the guilt would not be my first response, jesus.

Also in a ugh mood right now so I'll share what's making me feel better:











Call me if you need. In the meantime, I'll try to write some Danny/G. Somehow. Have obviously lost inspiration for any Kane/Toews, meh.

Ilu. ♥

[sweetcherrytree.livejournal.com]

Finding Giroux attractive is something that always kind of sneaks up on me, like I'll watch a video and won't be thinking about his looks in the slightest because in general I don't think of him as being someone-who-is-attractive and then suddenly I tilt my head and realize that he is pretty good looking. And this happens every single time.

omg Skinner lololol he is great. I remember seeing the video where the host goads him into kissing that poor girl a few weeks ago and thinking 'omg I wonder if Mei has seen this she will die'.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

That's the way it happened with me! Except now I think I've reached the point where I've learned enough about his skills/personality that he is just going to be permanently attractive to me, even wearing hideous suits or whatever.

sljfdkghdf I have actually seen this video around for ages but never watched it for some reason. Well I finally did and GOD SO MORTIFYING. AND SO CUTE. AT THE SAME TIME.

I also enjoy watching him score goals! As fun as the playoffs have been, I miss my Canes on ice. ;__;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

OH GOD WHY IS SIDNEY CROSBY GIGGLING ALL OVER MY POST NO WHY STOP

slfkjas I love the way he just totally loses it when he cracks up and it's like a whole-body thing for him. Never do things by halves, Sidney Crosby! He really does strike me as such a kid sometimes?? All the time...

CLAUDE GIROUX IS GREAT AND THAT SHIRT IS ALSO GREAT ON HIM. :D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

omg that sounds amazing. WILL YOU BE HOLDING A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH IN ONE HAND AND A DANNY BRIERE IN THE OTHER?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

well both are obviously delicious ;)

[suxing.livejournal.com]

jeff skinner is the beeeeeeeest~~ /sings :DD

also sid being like lionel messi distresses me a little b/c i really hate dislike lionel messi so i am just not going to think too much about possible comparisons between the two. besides, sid's taller! and infinitely more attractive! so yeah. :|

[meiface.livejournal.com]

WELL FEEL NO OBLIGATION TO LIKE SIDNEY CROSBY seriously.

But let's be honest, Messi would never giggle like he's high like that. Messi also doesn't have DAT ASS lmao.

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I <3 Eric/Jeff so I find this quite delightful.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I always forget you read them because you're not actively in hockey fandom, lol, but your love of them delights me. I want all the Eric/Jeff. *___* They are both such great people IRL too.

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. I only talk about in a few places and getting full gung ho about the fandom is a bit difficult since of the lack of time at the moment. I like the cuteness <3 what can I say about them

[meiface.livejournal.com]

They are SUPER CUTE, this is true. :D

How do you feel about a couple that is so domestic and married that they're shipped by the NHL/all their teammates? Because Danny Briere/Claude Giroux are... Or were, but still kind of are.

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

Time to search the tags on AO3? ;D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Start here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e81aX54NO90) and here (https://pinboard.in/u:meitachi/t:nhl:claudegiroux/)! Then AO3. :D

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I <3 your pinboard. So delightful. Thanks Mei! :)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

SPREADING THE LOVE. But also sadly there just isn't that much fic for them. :(

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

Such sadness! I hate it when my favourite pairings get so little fandom love. Honestly, why can't people see the greatness? ;)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

SO I MUST WORK ON INCEPTING EVERYONE

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

You have a great task ahead of you. Ganbatte! I believe in you~

[meiface.livejournal.com]

NO THOSE COOKIES ARE MINE, SIDNEY CROSBY! >:O!!

GIVE THEM BACK.
