Sorry this is late... Joannie Currie posted this (link to original post) on the Due South! Facebook group Feb 23, when the Toronto Maple Leafs played the Chicago Blackhawks, with the following text:

"That magical juncture where due SOUTH meets reality Today, the Leafs play the Hawks, in the city they call Chicago The first hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens was Nov 12, 1931 between the Leafs and the Hawks (2-1, Hawks) The last game at MLG was Feb 13, 1999, Leafs vs Hawks (6-2, Hawks) The Leafs have not been sucking this season and this is the year they will win the Stanley (Raymond Kowalski) Cup Leafs rule!! Sorry, I"m sure the Hawks are a perfectly lovely team too 💖 (photo has Maple Leaf Gardesn in the background, Toronto)

as a reminder of that hilarious scene where Ray and a Leafs fan have the following exchange:

Kowalski: "Leafs suck."

Ticket seller: "Leafs rule."

Kowalski: "Hawks rule."

Ticket seller: "Hawks suck."

Kowalski: "You suck."

Fraser: "You are bilingual, Ray."

I had this weird feeling there was something in my LJ I forgot to do for like the last few weeks but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Well, I realized I forgot to put here some snippets I originally wrote for ds_snippets. (I like to keep my own copies in my own LJS of stuff submitted on other comms.) It's all slash. ETA: When I first posted this, I myself forgot the last two were DC/HCL, not DC/DS. *headdesk* Not firing on all cylinders. And this is BEFORE any Xanax today. *sigh* OTOH, maybe it's just my subconscious telling me to write DC/DS Mike Sweeney/RayK. Like I didn't have enough going on with ficfinishing!
