Just when I thought I had next to nothing to complain about, the political talk started up in this thread.
-
And the age old prophecy of "you are what you eat" comes full circle.
I was wondering who would go there.

Come on. Your in Boston, you know full of drunk Irish people. You can't find a good place to booze. Where exactly are you? I know of some good places in Quin(z)cy. If you are into the seedy, coke dealing kinda of hell holes.
These games aren't in the downtown areas, so anything out there is no good. You want something close with a good atmosphere after a game. This one bar was perfect for it and has been for a long time. Everything else close is either more of a restaurant/bar or has more of that "underaged college student trying to sneak in" feel to it. The restaurant/bar is too much of a sitdown place with too many tables and I'm well beyond going to that other kind of place at this point.
Luckily the other bar should be open in early november, so the problem won't last too long (assuming they don't go overboard on the remodeling). But for now, I'll complain.

Ever go to Fajitas and Ritas? My wife intorduced it to me when I was in Boston, and I fell in love. I guess that is not thge kind of place you are looking for.
I want to say I've walked past it at some point, but that's in the completely wrong part of town for my post game drinking needs. I'll have to check it out at some point though, just not after a hockey game.
And just so Blue doesn't yell at me for going off topic, I have to complain about you offering absolutely no help for my post game drinking problem.

My post game bar is closed for renovations right now. This place is about a block away from the college arena I'm always at. There's other stuff in the area, but this bar is the perfect post game atmosphere while the others are more sit down type places. So far I'm only 2 games in, but I've felt lost after both.
-
Last night's game went so well, so I'm in a good mood right now. But since its thursday and I have to complain about something, I'll just say that I hate Philadelphia. I could care less about baseball, but whatever keeps that city miserable will be fine by me.
-
I hate throwing out the token "if you're ever in town, you have a place to crash" comment and then having the person step up to claim that offer two years later.

I absolutely hate missing the opener tomorrow. Sure, I'll be at the Icebreaker tournament watching a pair of legit contenders in North Dakota and Michigan State (oh, and those two other mediocre teams), but I'd rather be watching the Sabres. I guess it really can't be all that bad since I will then return home and watch the game on tape, but it's still not the same. It's opening night, I should be there on the couch watching the whole thing live. Now I have to skillfully dodge any phone calls or texts about the game. I know I'll be spoiled last second. I might as well guarantee it.
So every morning when I wake up I have the same exact routine. Monday-friday I'm always waking up at the same time. This morning I'm about to go put the contacts in and brush my teeth, the last thing before I walk out the door, my roommate decides to wake up about 2 hours before he ever does (I'm assuming, since I never actually run into him in the morning) and takes a 25 minute shower. How the hell can any male possibly spend that much time in the shower? And then after he's finished he walks out of there, only to turn around, go right back into the bathroom and spend another 5 minutes or so doing god knows what. And what was he awake early for? Some phone interview with a random hockey coach. So yeah, you need to make sure you're completely clean to have a brief conversation with someone on the phone. Me? I get to work around 45 minutes late, but hey, I'm sure the coach was impressed. "You sound clean. I like that."

I absolutely hate people who listen have headphones on, but their music is so ridiculously loud that I can hear every single word in the song... all while I'm wearing my own headphones. I thought the whole purpose of headphones was so that other people didn't have to listen to music. Stupid me. And of course their music clashes with what I'm listening to. Their random rap music doesn't mix well with Pearl Jam at all.

You're right. He should have started a "What do you have to be thankful for" thread! :)
But not on a thursday. :thumbdown:
-
The morning weather report says that it will rain into the late afternoon, but by 11, there is almost not a cloud in the sky. This is normally a good thing, but I didn't grab my sunglasses this morning thanks to that report. I could've used them today.
-
LOL, thats ok, It drives me nuts when people complain about other peoples really long posts :nana:
I was thinking of making another post after that one that said I hate it when people make really long posts about personal issues, but you beat me to it
I wonder how many people actually read that post. It's nothing against you, but I read about one line, scanned down and saw how long the post was and immediately gave up.
But anyway, here's a strange complaint. I hate the fact that I don't want to complain about being very busy here at work today (taking a couple minutes off to check this board). So yes, I am in fact complaining about not wanting to complain. This could only happen on a thursday.
-
As far As Gerbe goes(at least I think that is who you are talking about), what's wrong with fans being excited about him. Just because you don't like his chances of becoming successful in the NHL doesn't mean others can't root for him.
It's not just him. I won't get into specifics, but I've seen a few different guys referred to as the real deal or things along those lines. Let the guys play a few professional games, especially ones against actual NHL players before you crown them.

I hate to do it, but I have to complain about the majority of the posters on this board as of late. It's all doom and gloom after a couple preseason losses. There has been so many idiotic things being said around here lately, making it near impossible to find any value on this board over the last week or two. It's either the complete doom and gloom from some people, or the incredibly over the top optimistic posts from others. We're going to suck, but prospect X is destined to be a superstar at a position he hasn't played since at least high school. Yeah, you know which player I'm talking about there, but it's the same for many of the others. We've never actually seen them play (ok, some of us have), but we just know that the player will be elite.
It's just the preseason people. There is a lot of hockey to be played and I think it's a safe bet that none of those 82 games will include the likes of Dylan Hunter.

I never have a clue what to tip delivery people. Pretty much everything I get is short distance, so I'm sure I'm not short changing anyone. If I'm drunk though, lookout. At that point it's pretty much a 50/50 shot of either being short changed or getting a massive tip.

Who are you?
What? Where am I? Who stole my false teeth?
-
I also want to complain about my memory. All week long I file away complaints for Thursday. Now I can't remember any of them.
And you wonder why you get all those old man jokes around here. But yeah, that's me too. I'm ready to complain all week, but then when thursday roles around, its close enough to the weekend that I've run out of ideas. Luckily the stick swinging incident I mentioned earlier is still very fresh in my memory.
-
So in my hockey game last week on thursday (ended too late to make it to that week's Complaint Thursday), some retarded 6'6 giant thought that the best response to me bumping one of his teammates who ran my goalie was to swing his stick at my head. Then the guy decides that I'm a coward (obviously he used a different word) because I wouldn't take my helmet off and fight him. My response "Take my helmet off? What, so you can slash me in the face this time?".
I never understand these idiots. Why in the hell do they want to take the helmets off and start throwing punches? Nevermind the fact that they issue this challenge while at least 10 feet away and constantly backing up. It's a men's league. We don't get a damn thing for playing in this league. I'm not going to risk getting jumped by three people just because some idiot can't control his temper. Maybe they do need to remove fighting from the game because it makes idiots like this think it's an essential part of the game that needs to happen every single day. And if the guy is so hell bent on fighting, why does he swing his stick and hit people in the back of the head before he makes that challenge? Thank god I have a 2nd helmet so I could replace the broken strap.
Oh well, I guess I'll go back to my Matthew Barnaby pest style game in my game tonight. Yeah, I'm never going to fight these guys because there's no point (well, unless they go way over the line), but it is funny as hell watching them snap.

Can you reformat the document before printing? :unsure:
Or only print the sections he needs.

I love the Pominville signing, but I'd really love the video of what you just described! :lol:
Just wait until Golisano tries to salvage those sugar packets.
-
Since Blue keeps pointing me in this direction, I might as well rant a bit in here. The non-stop negativity from so many around here has been so ridiculous lately, especially with stuff like these Pominville talks.
From reading some of these posts, it looks like people seriously think that Darcy and co. spend their whole day sitting at their desk, spinning around in their swivel chairs non-stop. Every single day at 5, Quinn stands up, stumbles towards the bathroom, doesn't make it far enough, only to throw up in Golisano's giant barrel of sugar packets. They probably also mix in a couple "pull my finger" jokes and oggle hot chicks on the internet, but that's only during lunch time.
I know it's completely shocking, but they actually do focus on hockey. Now I know we're going to find something else to complain about because we always do, but remember, they are actually working on this team.

I draft Randy Moss and Tom Brady goes down for the year 2 seconds into the season! :angry:
I'm complaining about the fact that you are complaining about this.

While I agree, I dislike the word, it's still a word.

They'll put anything in a dictionary lately.

People that refuse to say regardless and always say irregardless. SAME WORD A-HOLES!
I'd hate to break it to you, but they're not the same word. Irregardless is not a word at all.

Speaking of quick responses, I finally saw this the other day. The sabrespace.com vs. www.sabrespace.com thing fixed that problem. Sweet, now I can get here 10 seconds faster. :thumbsup:
