I’ve been asked to share this video with you.

I complied because it’s a highly amusing video. Skidding across the ice is the best Bailey has looked since he was white and had black spots.

I think this was also shown during last night’s game on TV. Read some tweets about it.

While entertaining, I’m not sure I buy the video’s premise. There are plenty of things I can and should do while playing hockey that would be ill-advised while driving. Punching people in the face comes to mind. Hey, look, I know passengers can be annoying sometimes, but just find a better CD to listen to or point out fat people in other cars to resolve your differences. Conversely, there are things I do while driving that wouldn’t go well on the rink, like eating a burger. And masturbating.

But seriously folks, texting while driving is serious business. In fact, it’s a lot like sex. You shouldn’t do it unless you’re really good at it. We all know you can’t help yourself though and are going to anyways, but be prepared to face the consequences as there’s a good chance you’ll hurt someone in the process.

Crap. Gotta go. Missed my exit.
