Answer for Steve

Steve, more commonly known as Weave, asks this:

Todd,
When is it acceptable to wear a hockey jersey?
Weave

I must admit I don't know that much about hockey. Growing up under the roof of Lon Easton is not conducive to hockey players and as such I never really got into it. However, I still know when it is acceptable and not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey, so here we go.

It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey to a hockey game. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey to any other sporting event. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey while driving a Zamboni. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey while ice skating at the local skating rink while holding hands with your girlfriend. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you are Canadien. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey just because you've been to Canada. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you are a big burly man with a beard. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you're a little sissy and have never even shaven. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you are missing several teeth. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you have a sparkling set of pearly whites. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey to your local dive bar. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey to the nearest rave. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you have a black eye. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you have pink eye. It is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you are actually a fan of the sport and follow it regularly. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey because you think you look cute in it. And finally, it is acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you are playing a pick up game of ice hockey or roller hockey. It is not acceptable to wear a hockey jersey if you are playing knock hockey or tonsil hockey.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions don't ever be afraid to ask. I am here for you, like I'm here for all my fans and friends.

coming from a legitimate ice hockey family, i have to disagree with you, todd. i grew up with the game, played a few games, went to hundreds of games, and i think that i am more of an expert than you in this category. it is only appropriate to wear a hockey jersey when you are under the age of 13 and attending a hockey game- otherwise all jersey wearing activities are deemed inappropriate and those wearing jersey are subject to humiliation on the spot.

i second what brittany said. i'm not a huge fan of hockey, and while your blog was humurous and made me laugh, brittany is correct.
