Remember the good old Chuck Norris jokes? Well, today is Greg Zanon's turn. Zanonisms have taken twitter by storm, and we are going to start a thread for your entries as well.

Enjoy.

The Wild had a contest, giving away Wild tickets. Winner of this contest gets a sweet NHL wrist band (if Nathan has any left). We don't have much of a budget around here. The Wild's winners are founnd on the View From the Lighthouse Blog:

BReynolds, I’m PeterJasonMN. hobey_baker and I got royally screwed. That one about the earth tilting wasn’t even my best one, and the one about Owen was weak at best.

Some of mine were:
@mnwild, Greg Zanon will be there in five minutes to secure my tickets. His beard will be there in two. #mnwild

@mnwild Marketing, 1..2 Zanon’s coming for you, 3…4 better lock your door, 5..6 get my hockey tix, 7..8 the games are great #mnwild

@mnwild, did you know that building implosions actually require no TNT? Greg Zanon stares the buildings down. #mnwild #zuperman

@mnwild, did you know a new element was recently found? Zanonium. It is the most dangerous element on Earth #mnwild #zuperman

The rest are on my Twitter.
@mnwild, every time Greg Zanon stops a puck, the puck goes on IR #mnwild

I posted that if I could make them laugh with one more they should scrounge me a pair of nosebleeds. They DM’d me and said they would but they were only allowed one pair. That’s why I had my last two saying if that Big Bang one made them laugh they should send me a puck or something.
