what:
it's an oilers weblog: rants, squeals, quotes, youtube videos we like
sometimes there's stuff from around the NHL but shit that's not strictly LOYAL TO THE OIL goes behind a cut.

who:
pair of oil fans: one guy, one girl

d.
• actually got into a flame war on wiki over roloson
• can tell you dwayne's favourite movie & band
• also fond of petr sykora
• used to like smyth before he wanted to be, you know, paid
• playoff highlights reel + "savin' me" by nickelback made him cry
• hates the anaheim ducks
• thinks chris pronger & christie chorley = love
• second favourite team: vancouver

c.
• likes joffrey lupul and steve staios, sometimes dwayne as well
• used to like stoll before he, you know, started dating stacy's mom
• shares a birthday with mr. stoll
• ditched d. on two separate roloson autograph signings
• hates bergeron
• also hates the anaheim ducks
• writes wikipedia articles in her spare time
• second favourite team: ottawa

how to tell them apart:
• d. uses more HTML tags: blockquote, small, big, strikeout
• c. writes short, pointless entries
• d. writes long long entries, like this one
• c. makes icons
• d. types in lowercase
• c. is marginally more loyal
• d. generally is funnier and more articulate

where:
oil country / e-town / deadmonton

why:
certain other blogs don't update enough, or could be funnier
(i'm not saying we're funny but we try)

some running jokes:

• christmas memories ("carp")
• 4 minutes of sexy ("pony" by ginuwine; fast-forward to 1:54)
• sykora drafted by the devils (petrie sykora)
• aces high (used to be available here, but i found the cache and archived for hilarity - yes i'm creepy)
• the december calendar (get it while it's still like, applicable) (oh well it is no less funny)

plugs:

• official site (for delayed scores)
• the forum (for bullshit rumors and the lookalike thread)
• hot oil (our favourite oilers blog)
• interviews & mic sessions (best one)
• TSN power rankings (see second page, whores)

and many many photos forthcoming ...
