7,000 Comments!
This just in: the OWL blog has reached a new milestone! It seems like only last week that we reached 6,000 comments, but you guys just keep churning them out. And now we’ve hit (drum roll, please)… 7,000! Huzzah!
The milestone-toppling comment was posted yesterday on my review of Mars Needs Moms by blog reader Madeleine. Congratulations, Madeleine. Take a bow. (Or, better yet, take 7,000!)
In celebration of this joyous event, here is a mostly unrelated video of joyous people throwing 23,000 teddy bears onto the ice at an amateur hockey game:

Fun, huh? The Teddy Bear Toss is an annual event put on by the Calgary Hitmen hockey team, and from the looks of things it’s very successful. All proceeds (read: “teddy bears”) go to charity and help kids get gifts for the holidays.
Speaking of which: 23,000 is a nice, round number, huh? Can’t wait ’till we hit that many comments. And we will… someday!
Talk to you soon.

P.S. Thanks to Larissa for sending me the link!

Oh my god!!! That is sooo funny…I laughed and laughed and when I showed my mom she said: “Well that’s better then sguids!” And I said: “Eww! Gross.” And she said: “Yeah, they throw sguids on the ice…” Somewhere! I can’t remember where!! Anyway, congratulations Madeleine!!! Well, any anyway, mostly unrelated video, Craig? What part’s RELATED? Because you said “mostly.” Giggle, giggle, giggle…he-he-ha-ha…!
Heh, heh. You got me, Hannah, 10! I was thinking they were partially “related” because they were both joyous/celebratory, but I was definitely reaching…!

Good question, Hannah, 10. It’s the team name of the Calgary hockey team, and I it refers to the hitting (or “checking”) in hockey.
yep…..I went to go see one of their games in December, I actually go like once or twice a season

Ohhhh…I told you I don’t know a thing about hockey…Craig, you said: “And I it” Just being helpful. You might have ment: “And it.”
That is so cool Marissa! I follow hokey and am a pro at it my favorite team are the Sabres!

Wy did they throw teddy bears I just do not get it. me and my dad are big hockey fans but i never heard of that. mayby i should ask my dad
Hi Taylor! They threw the teddy bears on the ice so that they can be given to charity. It’s just a more fun way of doing it than placing them in bins outside the arena.

So true, Taylor!
