Most Hyped: Toronto is the shoe-in Biggest Flop: PSE Entertainment Twitter Team Best Team: Wendy's Twitter Team Biggest surprise: Sabre's AHL Call-ups actually become NHL players

Fun fact: my last name is both a Polish dictionary word and 1:1 in consonants and vowels.

There is some flooding going on around SE PA in places I haven't seen it before. I too live on top of hill.

No, but I have seen Weekend with Abdubu Haridi.

And Emery handled Peters too!

The #15 jersey is now hipster-cool. Wear it with pride that you were into Jack before it was cool.

But will one or both Ahos bend to fan pressure to change their number so the sweaters are still current?

Beat? No. I think calling the cops for trespassing is the right call here. One of two outcomes; the trespasser leaves, or they get in a fight with the cops and your problem is solved.

AFAIK, no. For instance, Yank rhymes with Tank, Septic Tank, so in the UK, Americans are referred to as "Septics". I can feel the love. I will admit that I'm not sure you can rhyme the first part of the phrase rather than the second, though.

That's only halfway there. His nickname should be "Shoe". #cockney

The number Pi is a big part of who I am, in addition to as an mediocre quality member of this board. It's not odd though, it's irrational.

2 Boo or !2 Boo?

If you wanted to get rid of the Politics thread, there had to be an easier way than this.

I don't think I posted, but I streamed a game or two live at 7am on my phone while getting ready in the morning.

This Swedish D thing is getting a bit absurd.

Taro sez: Our Pekar is is better than yours.

Shame Buffalo allowed 32.4 shots against per game last year, that'll only be good for a few wins.

Agreed. I only managed that one year in the middle of the dotcom boom; I got a "please don't leave" raise, a "well, we're paying new hires more than you so we'll bump you up" raise, and a normal rock-star performance raise. Never saw anything close to that again.

I've heard the "licker" data visualization software suite works really well for that.

If it's too noisy, you're too old.

Except when you don't, but you've already moved over to the right in anticipation so now you're trying to cross back over 2-3 lanes of traffic. There are some jug handles here in SE PA, but they seem to be disappearing or just atrophying as PA wises up and puts left-turn lanes in too. Speaking of PA and roads, I think PennDOT has reached peak lazy road works on my commute home. There's an over-pass-exit in this gigantic nest of exits near where I work. A few weeks ago, PennDOT ground down the cement a couple inches in one pass, so part of the lane is ground down and the rest is still at the original level. This week, they filled in the ground down area with blacktop and painted stripes, so now there's a kinda-uneven wandering in and out of the lane black stripe of pavement in a section of road that's otherwise cement. This morning, another ramp in the same interchange was ground down, so I expect the same. Fortunately, they did a crappy job blending the ends so there's a dip in the beginning and a sharp edge at the end.

No votes for Glatt? I mean, he's a terrible hockey player, but...

I was going to say something about integrity, thanks for doing it for me. I like it, make a promise, stick by it. In this, he's certainly not the first person to quit a job after the company went in a direction he didn't like. Never going to happen. Like sports writers, low-population states have some extra power (even if it doesn't make sense) and they're never going to give it up.

Ugh, I had a mouse get into my desk drawer at work over the weekend and make a mess.

Duolingo app is pretty good for getting a few words into your vocabulary.
