Bad enough it looks like our beloved Prime Minister is going to be elected, as in re.
They are cracking down on throwing an octopus on the ice during a Detroit Red Wings hockey game.
For true, read it everywhere.
Len Berman sums up the deal this way "If you don't know, it all began in 1952. At that time, you needed 8 wins to capture the Stanley Cup, and since an octopus has 8 tentacles (oct, get it?).....voila. Well a huge controversy has erupted. Apparently the NHL has asked Detroit police to crackdown on the octopus hurlers. During game one of the playoffs, one fan was fined $500 and ejected from the arena for his mollusk toss. I think the NHL should take the opposite tack. Embrace it. Organize it. Hold an "octopi bobble-arm night.." And for goodness sakes, let 'em throw. Hey it's sports. Can we have some fun around here?"
My question has always been, how the f*ck do you get a living [or dead] octupus into the Joe Louis Arena without a wink, wink, nudge, nudge?
