1> you have to wonder if the team is thinking the same thing 2> half is optimistic; it's rare that he makes a pass that connects, the majority seem to end up on an opponent stick on the boards around the hash marks 3> Absolutely 4> I remember reading that xx% of spectacular saves are because the goalie was out of position to start 5> Absolutely. What's worse is he doesn't seem to track the puck well so after kicking out a big rebound he'll often be looking around for it instead of knowing 6> Lehner is a big goalie that relies on filling up the net with size; that's not going to work well 1 on 1

I don't have any vinyl, but these turntables have fascinated me since I was young and first read about them. They use lasers to read the groove so you get the LP sound with no hiss or pops from the stylus running down the groove. Unfortunately they're in the 5-figures so not for average humans to own. http://elpj.com/ Side note: must read up on how quadrophonic records work.

Even then, Marino was the last picked of the six at #27.

I'm more worried that Tolbert is going to get all McCoy's touches if Shady can't play.

I'm coming to a theory that they play in baseball stadiums a lot because the league is worried that some (many?) cities wouldn't fill an 80,000 seat stadium. That's all I got, other than perhaps other city's football locations are less desperate and turn the league down. Of course, in the NYC area, the stadium is in use every week (by necessity) so if they're going to keep catering to the market they don't have any other options.

It got under my skin too, but I (probably wisely) decided to leave it alone since no one else replied. I'd say it was mightily Christian of me to turn the other cheek to Hank's slings and arrows. :)

My guess is due to the crappy sightlines of playing hockey in a baseball stadium, there wasn't a better location to shoot from without putting a 30' tower at home plate.

FWIW, RosePie absolutely hated eating with a blanket on her head. I can't blame her, I'd hate it too. I'm not sure I'd get to the point of screaming and biting like she did, though. TL;DR: feed your kid. If it requires popping a boobie out to do it and you don't care, objections are someone else's hang-up.

1: My guess is there was a schedule conflict where TP couldn't be at the station during the football show, so they crammed it into the hockey show. He's a busy guy; drilling wells, running the BuffaloIlluminati, looking at colleges for his kids, etc. 2: not a great answer, but realistically we're parsing language. He gave a generally positive answer that could have been worded better. 3: Q: What are you up to tonight, MattPie? A: I have to go to my motorcycle club dinner. Nothing to see here.

I made pork and sauerkraut (and apples) in the pressure cooker yesterday. Turned out good, but pork tenderloin turned into more of a pulled-pork than something I could slice up. Pretty good nonetheless! My mom (and grandma) make it in a roaster and it's a lot better than mine.

The Bills, after starting 5-1, went 4-6 for the rest of the season. I think that's called "coasting in", where the, for instance, Chargers are a better team right now if you're going by recent records.

That was already taking over when I was in college in the 90s. I have no issue with it, being inclusive is a good thing.

Exchanging glances acrost a crowded room?

Besides Redhat's "Openstack Cloud Administration II Coursebook", I'm reading Beowulf (JRR Tolkien's translation) as a step to reading "Grendel", which is Grendel's side of the story. Beowulf is tough sledding, since it rambles. So far I've gotten "guy builds hall, Grendel tears it up, Beowulf shows up and want to wrastle Grendel" out of like 100 pages.

I never went there, but friends of mine did. The one house I remember in particular was 79 Eagle St, around 1997 or so. Fun times; one friend used to DJ at BJs a lot so we hung out there most of the time.

So we could swap Lehner and Petersen and not notice the difference?

So, not really a Sabres fan then. :) It's cool man, gotta do what feels best, but "we" is reserved for the Bills and Sabres around here (even if I don't use it). Gotta know your audience. At this point, I'd consider giving up on the Sabres too but I will NOT root for my local team. Maybe I can engineer a move to Seattle in time for the NHL to show up there. :)

If Jack keeps this pace up, he'll have like 250 goals at the end of the season, right?

M-x old-mode Just you wait, up until a few years ago I'd drink an entire pot of tea after 8PM so I could stay up and manage Rose/get some work done. Now if I do that, I'll sleep like crap and feel terrible the next day.

IIRC, the 2004 Redsox were all chummy. On the flip side, Bickering Bills. While the Bickering Bills didn't win is all, they were pretty successful.

FWIW, this logic means that as an NHL fan you cannot be disappointed in any season that doesn't result in making the conference finals. 87% of teams don't make the finals, yet people are visibly upset if they lose in the second round.

I think Bill Hoppe is saavy enough to put out something like this as a hit piece but have it not look that way. Compare and contrast to the B-News guys who'd be hysterically whining about millennials and work and woe are the yutes of today. This seems way more effective based on the replies here. Don't tell people how to feel, present the facts in such a way that the reader feels it naturally.

I'm posting this again since it's such a great version of the song:

Cedric (naturally), Garth Brooks, Wayne Newton, and Scott Joplin.

Many thanks!
