I always thought the sound of the first day of school was the extra 30 minutes or so of morning radio that I have to listen to while stuck in traffic.

The Bills thread?

A house in our neighborhood was struck by lightning last night. They wound up with an attic fire. I've never seen so many fire trucks fly into a neighborhood rapid fire style. They put it out quickly. It was probably a very good thing that someone was home when it happened. If no one was there to report it quickly, I bet the house would have been a total loss.

Seriously folks, stop responding to this crusade and maybe the tread can become readable again. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Not when you have trusted employee status. The higher ups say we don't need to switch it back. I'm going to have to document every reason why the thing sucks. That's about the only way that I could maybe get this fixed. Every day we find even more reasons why it doesn't work.

Yeah, I wonder what might have made me think that...

This is exactly where I am. He's a top pair guy by default. In an ideal world, he's probably second pairing.

It's not exactly rocket science figuring out where the posts are given that your total i found directly under your avatar. So let's not pretend that I'm scanning through and counting every single post. But anyway, here's what I'm thinking here. You apparently got drummed out of TSW due to your attitude and unpopular opinion, so you decided to jump over here so you could try over with the same stuff. You came here specifically to talk about the Bills and lash out a bit about what happened over there. Now, maybe you will convince me otherwise as we get closer to hockey season, but that's where I'm sitting right now.

So you're saying he has hit triple digits? I'm still not convinced that anyone could be older than PA.

Who was it that I told to drop their laptop into a bucket of water?

For pretty much the entire month, my boss and I have been trying to dig out of a major mistake that someone else made. Basically, this person decided to make a ton of changes to the way data was collected for a project without running them by anyone. His/her changes have made a good portion of the data unusable. We're forced to try to recover it even though the only real solution is to undo all of those changes. Now we just have to convince the unconvincable (apparently that's not a word, but screw you, browser spell check).

Go to the Aud Club page and look to the right. See where it says the number of replies in a thread? Click on that.

You have 252 posts total and 195 of them (~80%) are in this thread. Are you sure that you're making points anywhere about the Sabres?

Random question that just came to mind: If a player signs with his NHL team but is then returned to major junior, would he be eligible for the Olympics? For the sake of example, let's plug in Nolan Patrick's name, someone who clearly would be on team Canada's radar if he was an option.

I thought the ending of the Ireland season was pretty good. Since I'm binge watching the show, a season like that one doesn't drag on for too long, so I don't wind up having an issue with too much. The only thing that I find a bit strange with the whole show (just finished season 4) is that at the beginning, they talk about how rare a murder in Charming is. Fastforward one season and they start killing people left and right. I realize that this has to be done to make a tv show, but it's a little too much craziness that hits all at once.

A couple years back I was on a subway train in Boston with my wife and her mother. These college girls across from us were talking and one randomly said "that's retarded". My MiL immediately says to her "that's offensive, I had a cousin who was retarded". It took all the effort in the world to not break out into laughter, one because who the hell calls out strangers like that, and two because it was the perfect example of how these things that people find offensive change over the years.

Red's face is so blurry. Must by a birth defect or something.

I'm sick and tired of these mother loving snakes on this monday to friday plane!

Have you ever seen the alignment of Robb Stauber's eyes?

Don't they already have the naming rights to Ottawa's arena? That should make things nice and confusing.

Of course. That's something you need to remember when it comes to the Hobey. Typically you're talking about an upperclassman who is closer to his ceiling already than the typical prospect. And we're not talking about 22 year olds either. You'll see 23 and 24 year olds landing the award at times too.

I'm not going to name any names, but I have to say that a certain poster here is doing a wonderful job of trolling a troll.

There really aren't many trends among the winners. These are the only ones that somewhat stick out to me: 1. Non-seniors who have won it look to have had decent NHL careers. There are definitely a few duds among this list 2. Defensemen who have won it also have had decent NHL careers. It's a very short list though. The last defensman to win it, Matt Gilroy, never really amounted to anything. But then again, he won it at 24 years old (and wasn't even the best player on his team), so he was already at/near his ceiling. 3. Win it as a freshman and you're gold. :worthy: Players who have won it as a senior? It's a total crapshoot.

I'll listen to anything if it means I never have to hear the word "seen" misused by Ray ever again.

You dumb liger. Don't go stealing my idea.
