I turned the tv on and there is a hockey team with a pissed off penguin apparently? Why is he so angry?? Quick someone explain hockey to me and why players (not the goalie) can apparently just be in the goal area??

Looked up Gritty, and now I have many questions about that too. But hmmmm -- okay, so Who's Line but it's goal(ies), got it, okay, I'll just keep watching these guys with knives on their feet keep going round and round to get goals.

I don't watch hockey that seriously but I'm pretty sure the rules are made up and the refs are an extra obstacle? That's what reddit says. 🙃

Pretty sure it's a universal rule that all hockey players of a certain age do that one bleaching effect. Unless their parents were scarier than tween peer pressure. :)

I mean, it was the 90s, even goddang Superman had a mullet.

(I did not, just the aforementioned questionable hair coloring decisions)

It's adorable (When my contact photo for everyone's phones is middle school me, it's Doug getting revenge for letting people know he was an adorable child.)

I mean somewhere around here there's pictures of pre-powers me where I'm literally a good foot shorter, 100 pounds lighter, and had some hella braces, no shame.
