this is one i've been working on for a painfully long time and i'm not quite sure i've nailed it, here. i have to say, though, there are times (mostly during televised games) where the camera will pan past glenX and i'll do a doubletake. he doesn't have lombo's mysterious doe-eyes (to break it down, i think curtis often looks more surprised than sexy) but from a certain angle (ie: this one) there is definitely a resemblence... what i've learned from my hard work on this pairing is that glenX and lombo have DECIDEDLY different eyebrows....
still, i defy you to look at thumbnails of glencross and not see a little lombardi in there... also ? they both skate really fast... oh, and for the record, this does not make me miss lombo any less, or like jokinen any more....

in response to yesterday's separated at birth, my buddy/commenter mike piped up and suggested that the willie mitchellfish might have been a little off, and perhaps the following was more exact:
i can see his point, but i'm not convinced that the monkey does mitchellfish's lips any justice.... it might be more exact, but is it more FUNNY ?? also, it's harder to come up with a good nickname (i am seriously starting to enjoy "wellwoodchuk and mitchellfish")... either way, we still prove canucks ARE animals...

Of course its your blog, and you get to make the decisions, I just figured I'd try and get some monkey action going (monkeys are cool). As far as nicknames, Mitchellfish is pretty good. I'm afraid my best attempts were horribly weak (Curious Willie, Willa the Gorilla, or ChimpVanZee).
I am finding it surprisingly difficult to find a monkey with lips (maybe?)... and this coming from a guy who loves monkeys. Apes (particularly chimps) have big lips, but they just don't look like Mitchell at all.
There are tons of reasons why I like monkeys (and apes), but here are a couple good examples:
Reason #1: Artistic talent
Reason #2: They remind me of being at the Ship on a Saturday night.
mike: you've got way too much time on your hands for a working dude.

What, you don't think OJ's good-lookin? He's easy to draw, though...

PS. word verification: sudin. That's weird.
WI - You'll get no argument from me. Since you know a little about not working... imagine how much more boring it would be if you weren't drinking? :)
Well, I've been at my desk reading sports blogs and looking at monkey pictures for a couple of hours now. I think its time to hit the gym and call it a week.
r.snake: kent posted that one on deadline day... i've been throwing it around in conversation for a month now... mostly because it's so effin' accurate... ;) don't worry, i've been working on an O-Jo separated at birth. needs more time....
mike: we'll talk later re: post dinner (non-alchoholic) bevvies. ;)
So Vancouver won tonight 1-0 against the Kings. I listened to the Team1040 PBP of the game. It was painful. I will never subject myself to that again.
You know what I hate more than Canucks? Ex-Canucks. Like Bertuzzi.
That is an excellent picture (the Mitchellmonkey).
Lombardi had another assist tonight. Off a faceoff win. Two things Jokinen is not good at.

it was like being stabbed in the heart on deadline day, and now it's like being stabbed repeatedly in the heart.
