There they are! Vote for the team you think is the hottest. The winning team will be awarded the gold medal, second most votes silver and the fewest, bronze. Voting will go until December 31, 2009 at 11:59 pm! You can vote as many times as you like. Voting is much shorter this year than it has been in years past because it's more fun this way.

Not watching games that the Sabres lose is awesome

by Anne

I didn't watch the Sabres/Caps game so it can't dampen my holiday spirit! Yay!

I watched Drew Stafford's Festivus video and it gave me giggles so that's all I shall take away from this evening I spent eating hors d'oeuvres and drinking wine with my oldest friends. I was much more pleasant than watching that game, I imagine. ETA: By "oldest" I meant "friends with whom I have been acquainted longest" not as in my friends are old, just FYIJICYGAH, or: For Your Information Just In Case You Give a Hoot.

The Olympic rosters will be up and available for voting starting tomorrow. It's been a fun time putting together the rosters ;)

Merry Christmas Eve!

Olympic Teams of Hottness

by Anne

An executive decision has been made by me that it takes long enough to make two rosters (east and west) for the All-Star teams that trying to compile three will make me go insane.

Therefore, the Steve Yzerman and Brian Burke in me have decided to make one six-man line-up for each country (USA, Canada and Team Everywhere Else) and have you all vote on which team takes the Bronze Silver and Gold medals of hottness.

Those will be posted probably around Christmas time which means I have a lot of soul-searching to do and hot pictures to examine. There is the chance that I may need your help to make some tough close-calls. Therefore, you should follow me on Twitter, as I'll post those questions there. My tweets are protected because I have students whom I don't want following me, but just request and I'll add.

Wow, life's tough. :)

Also, remember that the new blog is Queen City Sabres Blog. Starting Black Friday there will be no new posts posted at Sabretooth's House. The hilarity and goodtimes (including the hotties voting) will continue over at QCSB. As of right now, all the posts are cross-posted.
