It’s October, the Rockies clinched a playoff spot, and the NHL dropped the puck on another new season. This truly is a Happy Friday. Maybe baseball and hockey aren’t your thing, don’t worry, we got links to satisfy even the pickiest of readers. If you’re ready to start wasting your day, then read on enjoy the start to the weekend.

The plan the Rockies have been using has been to look to the youth of their organization. This strategy is paying off as the team made the playoffs for the second time in three years. With the recent retiring of Avalanche star Joe Sakic, looking to the youth has become the plan of the Avalanche. It appears the team is looking to one of their elder youths to take the lead. Paul Stastny has some pretty big skates to fill. We hope he can fill those skates, and take the Avs on to victory.

The new TV schedule is in full gear. But have you noticed how many shows are on TV? Yeah it is a lot, and there are more to come. This means that some shows have to be removed, and sometimes the removed show is only a couple episodes in. This season’s first cancellation is The Beautiful Life which was yanked after only two episodes. Here’s some info about that as well as some other shows that were quickly removed from the air.

One show that did stick around for awhile was the A-Team. This was a show I loved, mainly in part because I remember watching it with my dad. The A-Team is just the latest TV show to be adapted for the big screen. While we are always skeptical of Hollywood’s big production of TV shows (see: Miami Vice) we couldn’t help but to get a little giddy when we saw a few sneak peeks from the A-Team set. I pity the fool who messes with the A-Team, but will probably be right there shelling out my $10 to see this.

The A-Team is an ultimate dude dream; you and your buddies living as soldiers of fortune building ridiculous contraptions and blowing up any vehicle foolish enough to cross your path. Though most of us will never get to live out this dream. But if you want to say you’re a man, then you can start by listening to Maxim and follow these 100 Twitter Accounts. Though there list is short, there is a hundred and first account you should also follow <ahem>.

Being a man also means sex, lots and lots of sex! But if you live in the dorms at Tufts University then there is no sex when your roommate is around. University officials actually made a rule stating one can not have sex while your roommate is present. Wonder what happens if you have sex with your roommate?

*

A lot of people don’t need a rule to set roommate boundaries because they know how to communicate with their roommates. Or lacking that, they at least know how to leave passive aggressive notes. “Steve, When you bring some skank ass hoe home at 2 in the morning, and I’m here, please refrain from bumping uglies. Appreciate it, Mike.” For help with writing passive aggressive notes, or just to read some fun ones, check out this site sent to us by CJS regular F-U-Natalie.

In other reader submitted websites we got a gem from CassieB. A while back we asked you guys what celebrity would you like to punch in the face? Well this site will help you live out that fantasy in a way that should keep you out of jail. Send a picture of any celebrity you would like to hitacelebrity.com and they will make a piñata of said celebrity. Then you can go to town on it with a stick, or rock, or your first. Whatever tickles your fancy, we don’t judge.

If you come across any websites you enjoy, send them along to us and we will share them with all of our wonderful readers. And since you’re sending us stuff any way, why not answer this week’s confessional? This week want to know What is the greatest game you ever remember watching? Was it a Super Bowl? Day baseball game where you got loaded and laid afterward? Hockey playoffs where Patrick Roy said he couldn’t hear what Jeremy Roenick says because he has two Stanley Cup Rings plugging his ear? Tell us about your favorite game of all-time. All submitted websites, confession answers, or any other suggestions can be sent to staff@crujonessociety.com

Ah October, a time for sports. Unfortunately this includes football, which is alright but it is still pretty far down on our sports list and here is a pretty accurate composite of why. There is really not that much actual game play going on when one watches a game of football. That doesn’t sit well with us; at least we get a nice Sunday afternoon nap out of it.

Though we will admit that without football we would have missed out on some of these great touchdown celebrations. Here are a few favorites. But let’s leave the celebration to the end zones. We don’t need the whole production after every little thing you do.

In our last bit of football news we offer a review of Ochocinco’s book. We can’t really say we’re expecting much from a book written by a guy who changed his name to a Spanish version of his jersey number. Luckily for us Rick Reilly took on the task and gave us this brilliant review.

*

With the addition of Ochocinco, this party just took a turn for the douche.

We’ll end this week with a nice combination of creative and creepy. Worth1000.com held a contest in which participants were asked to photoshop what cartoon characters would look like if they were real. We were disturbed by many of the entries, but we could not stop looking at them. Worth1000.com has many other photoshop contests and is a fun way to waste some time. Be sure to look around if you’re bored.
