Geno appeared before the Oilers game versus the St. Louis Blues October 30th, 2011 in his legendary hot dog costume!<br />
<br />
That outfit is what started the conversation that got this blog rolling in the first place. Unfortunately I still don't have the time needed to update it with all of his puns but at the very least I can finally post what I've wanted to right from the start.<br />
<br />
Without further delay I present... THE costume!<br />

<br />
Well it was an interesting little experiment but I think it's safe to say it didn't go as I had anticipated. As far as I can tell the only folks that have viewed this blog are a couple of folks I've told about it as well as a couple curious folks from HF forums when I first started it up. The interest however has waned.<br />
<br />
No worries though, it was a fun little run while it lasted. I told myself I would only keep putting in the effort if it seemed people were at least somewhat interested or as long as it was still fun to do. With neither criteria being met I'd say it's time to shut it down. That and I've found it really hard to commit the time needed to watch every second of the game waiting for a GPP to come up and then record and upload it later. I was hoping to do an interview with Gene after the season was over but I doubt he even knows this blog exists.<br />
<br />
If I do notice a really good one from time to time I'll upload it to <b><i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/SssethhH?feature=mhsn">my Youtube account</a></i></b> for sure and perhaps here if I'm in the mood. So at least some of the doozies will be there if anyone is ever looking. That's how this whole thing got started in the first place. Me looking for a picture or video of Gene Principe in a hot dog costume. Alas I haven't been able to track it down, but I do have him in a santa suit so that is a nice consolation prize.<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to the draft more and more as the season drags on. A nice big 1st line Center or top pairing defenceman sure would look good as part of the Oilers rebuild.<br />
<br />
Take care everyone!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286053651381756067.post-11024728712908687202011-01-13T23:06:00.000-07:002011-01-13T23:06:45.421-07:00GPP - Edmonton at San Jose 01-13-10Really good night on the GPP front but I'm starting to think it helps when the Oilers are actually playing well and winning. Go figure that watching a good hockey game improves ones sense of humor.<br />
<br />
The mid season report cards are in and Geno isn't holding back. A nice clip as well on Cogliano's consecutive game streak even though he's been pretty banged up lately. Last but definitely not least, Penner's interview is golden. I wish the media would talk to him more often, he is a quote and sound byte machine.<br />

Now I know for sure he can't. Don't quit your day job Geno. I was quite impressed though how he continued on while the play was still underway. I kept expecting him to stop but he needed the... Satisfaction of finishing.<br />

Going forward I'm only going to be posting the GPP's I consider to be Prince Of Puns worthy. If they aren't really good (or extremely bad) I'm not going to be posting them. I'm hoping this should clean things up a bit.<br />

Tons of video tonight.<br />
<br />
The only thing better than Gene in a Santa suit is Gene in a hotdog costume (seriously if someone has the clip or even a picture, it would make my Christmas).<br />
<br />
Well done Geno, Merry Christmas everyone!<br />

The last couple of years weren't pretty for anyone but that doesn't change what a great Oiler and member of the community he was. Sail on mon capiton, sail on.<br />

The Octane? Really? Oh well at least they are easier on the eyes than Gene. Fortunately he didn't miss the chance to have them involved in not only one, but two GPP's. Give the fans what they want Geno. Horrible puns, good looking women and of course props whenever possible.<br />

GPP pick of the night: Octane Cheerleaders part deux<br />
<i>I have a soft spot for props and the Colby Armstrong one was full of them but how can you go wrong with Cheerleaders? Answer. You can't. Well that I loved Kevin Quinn's comment at the end "Sorry Gene, did you say something?".</i><br />

<br />
On a final note, to all the folks so strongly opposed to The Octane Cheerleaders (horrible name aside), honestly relax. These women are not being taken advantage of, they obviously enjoy the spotlight and attention so let them have their fun. The fans at Rexall Place pay good money to see an unfortunately lackluster product some nights. Even on a good night there are some slow times. If this gives certain folks something else to watch during the TV timeouts other than people diving over one another for free t-shirts or yelling at an imaginary noise meter in a vain hope they will win a free 75 cent bag of chips then so be it.<br />

If you've managed to stick around this long even after my rant above, here is a bonus pre-game GPP (I don't often get a chance to watch the pre-game) sent in by the same chap that came to the rescue and provided some emergency footage last game.<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">On a side note, I've decided not to type out the puns going forward for two reasons:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. The art of a really bad pun is all in the delivery. This is not captured very well when just reading the pun in text form.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">2. It takes a long time and it's already hectic enough getting the videos uploaded. If I felt it had more value I might make the time, but I don't think it does. Agree? Disagree? Thought Justin Beiber was a brand of womens undergarments? Leave a comment and let me know.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The next two Oilers games are on CBC and then TSN. So Gene won't be up to bat again until Friday December 10 when the Tampa Bay Lightning visit Rexall place. That's a lot of Gene free time between now and then so perhaps we'll take a look and see if we can dig up some classic Gene moments on YouTube. If you have any favorites, please feel free to leave them in the comments section.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If you start to get a little weak in the knees from Gene withdrawls between now and December 10, don't fret. There is a streak of 8, count them EIGHT Sportsnet broadcasts in a row leading through Christmas till December 28th. Forget the 12 days of Christmas, how about the 8 games of Gene-mas (<i>groans all around</i>).</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286053651381756067.post-67267110377579803062010-11-29T22:22:00.004-07:002010-12-02T22:46:27.442-07:00Edmonton at Ottawa November 29 2010<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I couldn't have asked for a much better set of puns for my first GPP video post. Gene is money in the bank with a pun trifecta in Canada's national capital city.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">GPP pick of the night, Pun 1: The nations capital (barely beat out Pun 2, the stache comment put it over the edge).<br />

Edmonton is working on their own leaders. Whether they wear the C, or fit the future to a tee. You always keep an eye out for those with special skills and they’ve even thrown in some foreign content to help out. As you can never have enough players stached away to do whats best for the nation of Oiler believers. Tonight it is a tough hill to climb as Edmonton begins their three game Eastern swing in the capital of Canada.</span>"</span><br />

The trip was to the all England club where the two of them enjoyed the Wimbledon. Now not only did they watch some great tennis but the Alfredssons had the chance to meet Roger Federer who on again off again is the number one player in the world and they had a chance to spend about 20 minutes talking tennis with him but they were pretty quiet about it because they didn’t want to make a <i>racquet</i>."</span><br />

I'm paraphrasing here but the line was something like 'this is a hotdog, interviewing a burger' <i>*groans all around*</i>. Well done Gene'o, well done.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">I've setup the PVR for tonight's broadcast so here is hoping Gene drops at least one epic GPP for the first video post. Until I figure out a better way I'll just be video taping pointing the camera at the screen. It'll do for now anyway.</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286053651381756067.post-2517479530201954922010-11-29T11:26:00.009-07:002010-12-02T22:47:25.229-07:00So it begins<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">Me and a few cohorts were chatting about the epic nature of the "Gene Principe pun<span class="Apple-style-span">™" (hence forth refereed to as GPP)</span>. Puns so bad they are good. Puns so corny they pop. Puns so amazingly horrible they make you want to curl up into the fetal position and cry. Puns so shocking that only a Princ<i>(ip)</i>e could come up with them.<br />
<br />
I did some searching around the interwebs and was surprised (mortified really) that there was no GPP resource available for his growing throng of fans. So here we are. The idea behind this blog is to track GPP's on Rogers Sportsnet West broadcasts of Edmonton Oilers games. I'll try to post a video of as many GPP's as I can after each Oilers Sportsnet broadcast. I've been known to have the attention span of a ferret so we'll see how long this actually lasts, but if there is enough interest I'll give an honest effort.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
