I'll take this over the sex scandals of five or so years ago any day.

I am officially heading out of the office for the last time until 2016. See ya later, suckers (not you, sabrespace posters)!

I'm not so sure I want to know what tire icking is. :sick: I'm sure inky knows.

Your sources are your own eyes, correct?

I'm pretty sure I see this exact same post every single season. I'm going to suggest that anyone saying it should do the same thing I've been doing lately. I haven't watched a single game in the last month or so. My weekends have been great. Sure, I want this team to turn things around, but I'm past the point of wasting my time watching to see if anything has changed.

You mentioned him twice actually, if I wasn't on a phone I would have included a winking face.

Hey Hoss, it's nice how you accused qwksnd of being racist. You should go back and actually read what he wrote. Some people just see what they want to see.

What about Guhle? Not a lot of excitement does pretty much sum it up well.

Spoiler: No one kicked the soccer ball droid

Sometimes I need to click on every single page of that NFL power poll slide show just to see what they say about the Bills.

If he makes it clear that he wants to leave and Tampa decides to move him near the deadline, there's a very good chance that someone takes him on as a rental. Tampa will not let him walk for nothing, especially if it looks like they're missing the playoffs. We can come up with a long list of similar trades over the years (Forsberg to Nashville, Hossa to Pittsburgh, Gretzky to St. Louis, etc...). The price is going to drop if it goes right down to the line. It'll still be steep, but if you were a team believed to be on the verge of a cup, wouldn't you at least consider rolling the dice on a run at the whole thing?

I suppose I never had a specific geography class in my school days. Instead it was rolled into that "social studies" label. So maybe it's just the name of the classes that has changed, but I picture something completely different from what most of you are saying when I hear the word geography, something more strict to the actual definition of that word.

You were new to the board and started posting early in the politics thread? Huh, you learn something new every day. I thought you've been around here much longer than that thread.

So are you saying that he should instead disappear into a closet with another unnamed coworker? That's the only type of disappearance that I would expect from a christmas party.

Is the second one you're referring to the whackjob Yuri? I always considered that to be someone's parody account.

It feels like an art class subject as opposed to geography.

My wife has those same 2 weeks as of right now. I'm working Monday, but I'm taking the rest as vacation as well. I was going to take monday too, but we have a Christmas lunch for my main project group that day and you better believe I'm showing up for the free lunch. The timing of this break could not be any better. We have a pain in the ass project ongoing right now that is about to reach a breaking point. The entire staff can only be accused of being incompetent so many times before they lose their mind.

A stupid reaction obviously, but does anyone else thing that question from the homework is just plain strange?

I wouldn't even go as far as to say that part about a favor. If Tampa stays where they are in the standings, shouldn't he want to at least get a shot at the playoffs and a cup that the 2 month rental would give to him? The only reason I can think of for someone to shoot that down is that they are looking forward to that massive contract and don't want to take on the added risk of playing those extra playoff games. If that's the case, it sure does raise a bunch of red flags about someone from a purely hockey point of view.

And how often.

I agree. That was a very odd way of crediting him for this gesture.
