Scottish Heritage and Lineage, it's a site for looking into your Scottish background and all the clans that your ancestors were a part of! This obviously doesn't work very well if you're not scottish...

My wife knows I’m a loser and have a fake hockey player on a fake league.

Anyway. If she did not know, and I was embarrassed. I’d tell her it was the Special Handsome Legion. It’s for guys who are especially handsome, like me.

Honestly i told my wife about it and when she finally joined in, she became a top personality. Unfortunately inactive now though. Bit of a rough go.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with being part of a fake hockey league online - I have nothing to hide - but if I had to pick something else it could stand for: Swedish Hockey League. I don't look that one up particularly often, but at least it's still hockey-related and wouldn't sound too weird.

Oh the SHL? It is my research into Simulated Hydraulic Lifts, a VR program that will help me train the idiots I work with in a much safer environment. Much less real world damage happens this way, it is really for the best.

I tell them the truth.

SHL stands for Simulation Hockey. Its the study of diverse communication among multi-cultural boundaries while observing the end results of a multitude of simulated tests of theories around Hockey and its relation to the dynamics of "professional" sports.

I always tell my wife that it's just about some hockey stats stuff. So SHL stands for statistical hockey leaders, where you can get all the useful stats about your favorite hockey players.

***yosh*** · 02-22-2021, 04:05 PM

Well, you see, SHL stands for a new dish and cooking method that I am experimenting with called Sautéed Hot Legumes.

It’s pretty much just stir fried veggies, but with a fancier name and some French words!

SHL? You want to know what this SHL thing I've been doing is? Why don't you get off your high horse there mister thinking I participate in something as pathetic as a fake hockey league or something equally lame. The SHL is a side project I've been working on to improve the availability of salads and other healthy food to people all over the world. It's an acronym for the Salad Howitzer Legion. The core concept is that people don't eat salads because the ingredients go bad so quickly at home and when you go out to a restaurant there are many more appealing options. To fix this the team at my startup have come up with a salad delivery system largely modeled after Howitzers. It has the benefit of being more agile than artillery , but still packing a greater punch than your run of the mill mortars. So next time you start judging me for my hobbies maybe you should ask yourself what you're doing to better the lives and diets of those around you within a 22.4 kilometer range.

While it would be great to make up some elaborate alternative explanation to what the SHL is, I am not a really good liar to begin with and at the end of the day when I am put on the spot like that, I would probably just draw a blank and stutter while I try to make up some story. So as a result, I would probably just tell the truth about what the SHL (Simulation Hockey League) is all about because at the end of the day what’s so embarrassing about it? Especially when alternatively you could be branded or thought of as a liar if you try to make something up that is not believed by the other person.

I have had to explain to friends and even co-workers before what the SHL is and the best way I put it is that the SHL is a fantasy hockey league mixed with be a pro from any of the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB series where you create your player except where you get to create your own story lines from scratch rather then having them be somewhat scripted from someone else. There are a ton of guys in their 20s, 30s 40, and older who still play videos or play fantasy hockey so in my opinion I do not really see what the difference is by being a part of the SHL and having a player in the league.

If my parents or boss or partner thinks that because I spend some of my free time as part of the SHL community and they want to ship me off to military school, dump me or fire me then so be it. It would probably be for the best to have them out of my life if they judge me for how I spend my free time when its not harming others who are around me or not harming myself (unless you are twenty four seven on the site and it prevents you from doing other things). At the end of the day there are a lot of more dangerous or worse off things you could be doing to enjoy yourself in the spare time you have to unwind after a busy day (for example, doing addictive harmful drugs, gambling your savings, join a gang, etc). I think that the stigmatization around video games, particularly fantasy games where you create an alternative reality are becoming more mainstream and acceptable in society especially with the explosion of e-sports around the globe so I see no reason why I can’t tell someone I know the truth about the SHL of how it is a league where you create a fake hockey player and become a part of a made up league on an online hockey forum. I have had some great experiences over the years on the SHL, met a ton of great people and would not be ashamed of telling people in real life about this hobby especially if I was asked about it.

Depending on who comes asking and what they might have just overheard, SHL can man a number of things:
Swedish Hockey League (obviously)
Super Hot Lady (tsss!)
Simulated Hunting League (no blood!)
Super High Latency
Seven Hundred Llamas (band)
Silly Hippy Liberals
Simple Happy Life
And so on...

After 69 shots on net with still no SHL goals to show for it, even the opposition started to feel so sorry for Lemo, that they decided to help him out :D

- Bad pass by Jack Klompus, he gave it right to Lemo Pihl.

- Lemo Pihl rips it to the net...

- Lemo Pihl will find the empty net, that should do it!

Ah, right! The SHL! It stands for, uh, Short Hands & Legs! It's certainly a very difficult condition to live with, and I've been studying up on it to hopefully become more informed and see what I can do to help! It certainly wouldn't be anything involved with an imaginary hockey league or something. Pfft!

zaynzk · 02-22-2021, 04:33 PM

shl stands for Stupid High Losers, cause the only way to truly enjoy this league is to be either stupid, high or a loser. Luckly i am all three so i enjoy this league

The SHL stands for super hip loungewear. It's a brand that I am starting, it will sell comfy loungewear like pajamas, bathrobes, sweat pants, and slippers that are stylishly designed and feature cool patters, with themes such as "Boats Bad" "SFP Should've drafted me" and "QCC is the best SMJHL team" to be featured in our first collection.
