My husband gets a thing sent to him called "best of the web" that summarizes interesting, weird, funny, quirky mix of stories on the internet. They provide the link and a usually humorous commentary.

Here's one you can all enjoy that references the New Jersey Devils:

"Today is June 6, 2006. It would be 666 if zeroes and slashes didn't exist. But it's still a special day in Hell--no, not the netherworld but someplace almost as bad: "the unincorporated hamlet 60 miles west of Detroit," as the Associated Press describes it. Hell, Mich., plans a party:

Nobody is more fired up than John Colone, the town's self-styled mayor and owner of a souvenir shop.

"I've got '666' T-shirts and mugs. I'm only ordering 666 (of the items) so once they're gone, that's it," said Colone, also known as Odum Plenty. "Everyone who comes will get a letter of authenticity saying you've celebrated June 6, 2006, in Hell."

Most of Colone's wares will sell for $6.66, including deeds to one square inch of Hell. . . .

Mike "Smitty" Hickey, owner of the Dam Site Inn, wasn't sure what kind of clientele would show up Tuesday.

"We're all about having fun here. I don't think we're going to get the cult crowd, the devil worshippers or anything like that," said Hickey, whose bar's signature concoction is the Bloody Devil, a variant of the Bloody Mary.

In 1996, the Brendan Byrne Arena, home to hockey's New Jersey Devils, was renamed the Continental Airlines Arena. If the folks in Hell were really ambitious, they would build a new arena with the old name and lure the Jersey NHL franchise there. Then the Devils could play at Byrne in Hell."

Nope. Couldn't make that one up myself folks. If you want more about the party in Hell, here's the link:

Party in Hell!

On a side note, it was very hot here this past weekend and my husband wanted to know if it was hotter than Hell. We checked the weather, and sure enough, we WERE hotter than Hell, by about 12 degrees. Go figure! biggrin.gif

lol_1.gif Yessiree, the Devils should move to Hell and play at the Byrne. They also should trade for Satan and give him 666 for a jersey number. Just kidding, but it would be funny. There certainly would be an uproar. Then again, maybe there's no such thing as bad publicity. wink.gif

Haha that's what I told my fiance! The Devils need Satan! How can you have a team called the Devils (maybe playing in Hell) and not have Satan on your side! =D

Ahhh memories of home, lol! Actually been by there many times as my Dad lived in the area. It's one of those blink and you miss it towns. Radio has fun with the town - Star here gave a trip away to there years ago and as Mr. B did a station called a store in Hell to see if it was hotter here or not.
