Broad Street Bullies

The Philadelphia Flyers teams of the 1970s. They were so mean, rough, and vicious that other teams were intimidated and scared shitless to play them.

First Edition (1972-1975) featured Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, Bob "The Hound" Kelly, Andre "Moose" Dupont, and Don "Big Bird" Saleski.

Second Edition (1976-1981) included Paul Holmgren, Mel Bridgman, Behn Wilson, Dave Hoyda, Glen Cochrane, and Ken "The Rat" Linseman. Those were the scariest teams in hockey history.

Third Edition (1981-approx. 1987) included Dave Brown, Rick Tocchett, Daryl Stanley and Craig Berube.

Man do I miss those days of the Broad Street Bullies and Big Bad Bruins.

L.A. Woman

Song by the Doors from the 1971 album of the same name. 7 minutes 49 seconds of pure adrenelin. One of the greatest driving songs ever.

There is nothing like driving around on a spring day with L.A. Woman blasting at maximum volume.

DWD

Driving While Driving. Refers to being pulled over by a cop for no good reason, either because said cop is just an asshole or for the purpose of issuing a ticket so the municipality can collect revenue. St. George, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb, is notorious for the latter. And the former, too, for that matter.

Stay out of St. George at all costs. The cops are lurking everywhere and love to pull people over for DWD.
