MattPie

MrsPie spend nearly a decade in the PNW (Portland and Ashville, OR, mostly) and loves it there. I've never been. I did just look, Buffalo gets 93 days of precipitation per year, Asheville 114, and Seattle 152. I'd certainly give it a shot for vacation someday soon.

Nice. Seamonster theme: Seattle C'thulus Corporate sponsor theme: Seattle Surface 5 Pro (who cares if it doesn't make sense, Microsoft spent a ton of money for the sponsorship)

He's not whining, he's explaining the next play and where to throw the flag.

This and because I *do* have to work tonight. I probably wouldn't bother, but if I'm chained to my desk at home, I might as well put the game on my phone.

I made it myself! It kinda makes me want to set up one of those click-baitey boredpanda.com style things "Top 5 scoring tandems in the NFL -- you won't believe who's number 1!" Start off with Young/Rice, Kelly/Reed, etc.

I recall something like that too. Talk about a fundamental change in the game, can you imagine how the game would be different without out heading the ball?

I don't when that'll happen, but I know it'll be the Millennials' fault.

And after watching the Rangers game, I'm not sure he's bad at tracking the puck. On the third and fourth goals, he knew exactly where the puck was and was looking right at it. The problem was he was 4-5 feet from where he should have been and the net was empty.

Do we have a goalie the Jets might want? :)

MrsPie was just talking about Seattle's Best this morning and how much she liked it. There used to be a Seattle's Best cafe down the street from the shop I took my car. I'd drop it off, set up my laptop and work for a few hours while waiting. Those were the days! PA: If you don't actually like coffee, why not drink some tea? Far easier on your system and tastes better. I will say that (M-x snob-mode) cheap bag tea (Lipton, etc.) isn't that great, you taste way more wet paper than tea. For a test, get some relatively good black tea bags (Wegmans "Just Tea", Stash, or better) and give it a shot. Even better is get a couple scoops of loose tea from Wegs and one of those cheap ball infusers. One teaspoon of tea per 8oz/mug. The per-pound prices on tea are a little daunting, but a pound of tea lasts months, even drinking a couple pots a day. The little Wegmans loose tea bags they give you rarely go over $5 unless you really stuff it in.

It has to be rooted in implying the target of the insult is one of The Gays, and therefore bad/evil/stupid. See also, the person flinging the insult is homophobic. Your point at the end is critical; I don't think I've seen a woman called a xxxxsucker, if she was by a male, I'd think there'd be a fair bit of reverence in there too. EDIT: Perhaps an experiment is in order. Sometime today, men, call your SO a xxxsucker and report back if you still have a SO afterwards.

While the puck slid between his legs for a SOG.

Ugh, that beer is terrible. Victory is my local, so I should be offended. But realistically, I haven't had a new beer from there that has completely wow'd me in awhile. That used to happen a lot. There could be other factors in that for me; I rarely get wow'd by any beer these days. I'm inclined to think I've either become jaded, depressed, and/or old. Victory's food was certainly better years ago, I think that's objective truth.

LOL. I'm not sure why people think he'd be good making breakout passes given the way he handles the puck behind the net. :) Do be fair, I don't think he's that bad on break-aways. :)

Only if you don't try to fix them! I tore mine apart... hey, about 8 years after I got it... and replaced the assembly at the bottom that decides whether the tub freewheels or everything spins. Total cost: Maybe $140 in parts and tools, 4-5 beers, a few hours (not helped by the beers), and whatever electricity I spent streaming The Longest Day and In Harm's Way to my phone (also didn't help the time). Nice!

At best, he really needs to work on all his fundamentals. At worst, he has worked on them and they're not getting better.

No kidding, you "win" that one. (I fully realize I've probably complained about RosePie on here)

Seems like they had a good stretch in there, but it must have been a point streak (win, otl, win, otl, otl, etc.)

Program note: Reuben Sliders is the entree of the day at the work cafeteria. That's a Darcy Sabres captain; it's the right idea, but there should be only one sandwich and they're all too small.

They know most people won't ask for the money back. If their per-unit cost is a $1, and they charge $10, they only need 1 of 10 people to *not* return the item and they break even on the units. That doesn't pay for all the other costs (ads, salaries, etc.), but far fewer than 9 of 10 people will return stuff. On a related note, a few times MrsPie and I have asked to return items to Amazon only to have the vendor say, "keep it, and we refund it anyway". On some items, it's more hassle/cost for them to receive the open-box/used item and trash it than it is to just eat the cost of the item. Think of it this way, if they're only making a dollar or two on an item, it doesn't make sense to pay someone to process the return.

I agree. The only thing I know about Bradford is my old neighbor didn't like him. I was out in the yard one day, and I heard this stream of yelling coming out of Rob's house, ending with "Bradford ### sucks, he sucks, I want Foles back."

LOL. It only plays Fairies wear boots for some reason; it's supposed to play all of We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll.

I wouldn't take a 2019 pick alone, but I'd trade something like Kane and a non-Buffalo 2nd and for SJ's 2018 first, + the other stuff in the deal. Buffalo essentially trades up in the draft 15-ish places and SJ ends up with the pick in the 2nd at least.
