Ways
for Chicks to Make Themselves Unwelcome at a Draft
|
|
1.
|
Serving
cheese and crackers at the draft – not implicitly bad, but very
distracting – guys have a hard time thinking and stacking at the same
time. |
|
2.
|
Drinks with umbrellas and/or fruit – even lime in a
Corona
is pushing the limit at a real hockey draft. |
|
3.
|
Disco-hits of
the ‘70s in the background. |
|
4.
|
More than two
bathroom breaks, and never announce them with, “Hang on a sec. I have
to go make a tinkle before my pick.” |
|
5.
|
Forgetting to
number your pre-draft cheat sheets and then trying to reassemble them
when it’s time to make your pick. Usually leads to the always
forbidden “did somebody take ___________ yet?” |
|
6.
|
“Is he a
rookie?” “Is he a rookie?” “Is he a rookie?” “Do we really have to
pick a rookie?” “Well, what about him?” Figure out who the rookies are
before the draft starts. |
|
7.
|
Stay awake –
not even a power nap when the guy with $80 left is trying to decide
which $1 defenseman he wants in the 14th round of the draft. |
|
8.
|
No stealing
from your neighbor’s cheat sheets, even if they do have an
impressive-looking multi-function algorithm to calculate a player’s
value – deep down they’re still guessing too. |
|
9.
|
Keep track of
your auction dollars so you don’t have to keep asking “Can we do a
money check at the end of this round?” at the end of every single
round. |
