Alumni in the Pros: November 2012

[Dafatone]

Dude was diving like whoa.

I misread that as "Dude was diving like a whoa" at first, with the last word being a phonetic spelling of a Boston accent. That would be stepping up the misogyny a bit!

If I ever make it to another Lynah East game...

[Jerseygirl]

Which, in retrospect, sounds fairly misogynistic.  Man, being a grad student in English takes the fun outta everything.

Keep with it, the kneejerk stuff stops being taken seriously* after about 1998, and by the 4th wave your joke is funny again, at least to hockey fans.

(* granted, most of your professors got their degrees before 1998 and will still be laying down the Orthodoxy.  Be gentle with them; they have not long to go.)

What is this "4th wave" of which you speak?

The folks who are burying these folks.

Posting a link to a meme generator with 28 not-clever captions thus far doesn't answer my question, you know...

Besides, it's the second wavers who are the humorless ones; we third-wavers can't decide what we believe. This fourth wave business isn't exactly a thing yet. Get your stereotypes straight, Jesus.

Anyway, here's one that's better: http://memegenerator.net/instance/30912285.

More on Barlow.

[Josh '99]

Evan Barlow is a hot commodity.

In case anyone else is wondering, as I was, why the name of Barlow's teammate David Marshall rings a bell, he was one of the top scorers in the ECAC for Quinnipiac in 2008-09.

Was he there in 06-07?  I'm pretty sure I accused a Marshall on Quinnipiac of medalling in Women's Diving during the postseason that year.  Which, in retrospect, sounds fairly misogynistic.  Man, being a grad student in English takes the fun outta everything.

Same guy, yes.
