I Hate You All.
Through Facebook campaigning, my boyfriend Dwayne Roloson has been ruthlessly cut from this competition, and I get the feeling that the rest of the Oil will fall to the same fate if these Marty-faithful Facebookers (who are not regular readers of this blog, may I add) are called to action each round. Which would be BORING. Shall we just call it a day and declare Marty the winner now?

Why do goalies always win? Another day of the Hot-Off.
Marty Reasoner: All substance, some style. Girls love a guy with a sense of humour, it's true!
Dwayne Roloson: Doesn't have an "A" on his jersey. But, Girls love a goalie.
This is a battle that divides the girls at Hot-Oil. But since I wrote the post, you can see which way it leans.
Vote for Marty. He would vote for you. And he wouldn't vote anonymously, cause he knows we don't count those votes.
SIGH. Marty wins, you dinks.

How do you like your P? With an enner or an isani?
What's hotter? A -2 rating or serious gastrointestinal distress?
YOU DECIDE.
In other news, the roster page has finally been updated. The team is a lot smiley-er this year, so I'm guessing the photographer used a puppet of some sort. Overall, the photos are pretty good (Brodziak looks HOT, yo), but sweet mother of god what happened to Roy and Pouliot? Not even my junior high photo where I had a perm and braces was this bad.
In other other news, GOILERS!
No Poop for you. Penner wins.
