More of Cody Hodgson's Dark Times, With Hilarious Submissions By Readers Not Unlike You

If you're new to Cody Hodgson's dark times, I recommend you go back and read the original post that led to this one. If, however, you're averse to doing research just to get a pretty lame joke, here's a short primer: in an intermission segment about Cody Hodgson's injury troubles, the narration included the hyperbolic statement "The dark times have passed for Cody Hodgson." Skeeter and I started riffing on the phrase and its potential responses. Soon, a PITB-only meme was born. Here are a few original examples:

• Narrator: The dark times have passed for Cody Hodgson.
  Hodgson: It was a good pass, too. Tape-to-tape. I had the whole net to shoot at.
  

• Narrator: The dark times have passed for Cody Hodgson.
  Hodgson: I cast magic missile at the darkness. It didn't work very well.

As you can see, the joke has myriad possibilities, and the Bulie response to this joke was maybe (read: definitely) funnier than the original post. After the jump, proof that we have awesome readers:

I Hate the TSN Web Editor

Dear TSN Web Editor:

This crap needs to stop. We all were already aware of how Carey Price's last name is also the word for a cost for something, and many of us even noted the irony that Price and the Habs had so much difficulty agreeing on a "price" for his services.

I am not a professional journalist. I am not above bad jokes. I consider this kind of pun to be below even me, however.

Seriously, it's not that being funny is unprofessional. It's that trying so hard and failing is unbecoming. TWO ridiculous puns on the first page? Can't you guys pretend to be journalists?
