Last night I went to a Mighty Ugly workshop, and I made a hockey.
He doesn’t have a name – he is just a hockey. I was accused of making him too cute, and yes – at first glance, he is a little bit lovable. However, the things you DON’T know are what make him truly mighty ugly.
Look at his eyes. See how bloodshot they are.
In his right hand, a beer – his 7th, at $8 a cup. Yes, he is patriotic and waving his maple leaf around – but when the game is over, he will LITTER that leaf by dropping it in the streets.
Litter is not cute. It is ugly.
What about his jersey? Ahh, yes – my hockey is indeed a Canucks fan, and he wears #44 – Todd Bertuzzi‘s number. He’s never gotten over his hero leaving Vancouver, and thinks the suspension handed down for the Steve Moore incident was a “fucking joke”. He is in the minority, but he continues to build his fantasy hockey team with Bertuzzi as captain.
Did you notice the headphones? They’re connected to a (red) Zune. My hockey is listening to Nickelback.
If that isn’t Mighty Ugly, I don’t know what is.
The ugly is in the details, my friends.
