Or maybe it's novelty names, instead of the good, old fashioned, solid names we used to have.
This was a bad sentence, and I can see why it bothered Tank. But I can defend it. Novelty and old-fashioned are essentially opposite words. Note that I didn't write, "or maybe it's the ethnic names..." And I don't think any reasonable person would say "novelty" is some code word for "ethnic." Anyway, it's apparently not a novelty name at all, but a cultural reference. My bad.
Also, I wrote: "If anyone in our respective families would have pulled this name out, for this reason, we'd all be rolling our eyes." For this reason. What reason? It translates to "enlightenment." Now, to be fair, I don't know that's why they chose the name. And even if they did, more power to them. Again, it was just a shot at Miller.
Protest too much? Maybe. Now I'm done.
I'd say let's hug it out, but there's that whole lack of cleanliness thing you just alluded to...
Let's put it this way. We didn't have water for days on end, and no one could tell the difference from before...

You're painting yourself more and more into a racist/intolerant type. This is the nuts. Sorry people don't make the same choices that all your clean white friends do.
Clean? I think you've forgotten where I live.
Was my opening sentence not clear enough? What followed that was a general point, not directed at you.
Edit: put another way, not everyone who uses that sort of phrasing is a racist, but if somebody is a racist, that's the type of thing they'd say because they sure as hell aren't going to say "I really dislike how colored folk have weird names."
And I wasn't directing my comments back at you. You're not the one who watered down the term here.

It was a gratuitous shot at Miller indeed. I thought we were allowed to do that to professional athletes here. It's the translation of the name that made me chuckle — and then attack.
It's over. I apologize, and as a result of this scandal, I will not be running for president in 2016.
The real gem here is Eleven, thinking he had been doxxed, doxxed me, and in the process, himself! You can't make this stuff up! I still love you, pal.
Let me state as clearly as possible that I don't think PA is a racist, nor did his complaint have to do with race. But let's not pretend phrasing like "good, old fashioned, solid names like we used to" isn't the exact kind of thing a racist would say when they don't want to appear racist. Since being an overt racist is no longer socially acceptable, people find ways to express their prejudice which have plausible deniability if anyone calls them on it.
Maybe. But that comment could refer to a bunch of white kids' "crazy" names too. It's not a racial issue. I think this is a good example of how the word "racist" has been so watered down so as to mean almost nothing. My original commentary wasn't about the name Bhodi. But what if it had been? It doesn't make me a racist. I'll tell you another good, old-fashioned, solid name that should be brought back though — Strom.

That took a harsher turn than I expected. I always forget that there are a list of 20 extremely white-sounding names that all couples must choose from.
As somebody in an interracial relationship I find your complaints to be childish with a dash of intolerance.
No intolerance. Well, some, but not the kind you're thinking of. The fact her 'rents came from India never entered my mind. I actually had to look that up.
What I'm intolerant of is the idea that, of course Miller's kid's name would have to translate to enlightenment, because dad's such a ray of light. Or maybe it's novelty names, instead of the good, old fashioned, solid names we used to have. Too many kids act like they're a source of enlightenment as it is. We need modest Henrys and Charleses too. Or maybe it's what Greg suggested. Megan Fox just named her kid Bohdi. Or maybe I'm an idiot. What did you really expect?
why are you being an a##hole?

So good
Good thing I'm creepy, crazy, unhappy and a bad person, innit?

Stormcloud and kittens was rather unbearable at times as well, IMHO.
I don't even remember that. Is that when I was tunneling out of Shawshank?
-
Hey, at least it's not Malaysian Air.
This quote has me thinking you aren't a very good person. Plus, you sound incredibly unhappy. I almost feel sorry for you.
Whatever. Go suck a bag of hillbilly .

The part that gets me? You actually questioned whether hot, stacked women would press their breasts against the glass!
Not would. Should.

I've been thinking about this. As others have said, this is really a terrible analogy for Jeremy White to be using. But also: why is it nobler for the child to delay gratification? Why associate it — surely because of some bias, right bio? — with more positive outcomes later in life? The kid who accepts the one marshmallow (I really wish it was marshmellow, by the way) should be patted on the back. He or she's not greedy. He or she accepts the one and is happy. That's self control. The second kid, the "delayer," comes off as a little greedy, no? I mean, the wait is only 15 minutes. He or she really wants two. Does he or she care that there are only so many marshmellows? Doesn't he or she want to share? Two marshmellows, two kids. Does the "good kid" ask that, in 15 minutes, a friend to join him or her to enjoy the second marshmellow?
Whatever. The good kid has a Beemer and I don't. All hail positive indicators of "success" in America.

I hate to channel Mike Schopp, but, man this whole thing is hot. It's all pretty fascinating.
Last night, I think for the first time, the fans starting getting into the act, cheering Devils goals and Sabres no goals. (At least this is the first time I've heard it, or seen it reported.)
How far should the fans go? What can they (we) do? If the Sabres get some momentum in a game, litter the ice? Derisively chant Liiiiiind-baaaaaaaack, Liiiiiiiiiind-baaaaaaack? How mean could the chants be? How demoralizing? Sabre skates down during a shootout — fans swaying back and forth behind the net, college basketball-style? Should hot, stacked women be pressing their breasts against the glass in an effort to distract? Man-boobs could do the trick as well.
These are half-serious questions. Why worry about what GMTM can do? Maybe the fans can do stuff on their own. If TB is right that a million little things contribute to winning, then the opposite would have to be true.
Actually cheering, in-arena, an opponent's goal. Now that is taking what I did against Boston — mentally hoping the Sabres would lose — to a new level.
As always, the whole tank debate comes down to a risk-benefit analysis. We get McEichel, but at what cost? How much damage has been done? Now, for the first time, I'm thinking that the damage could include the player-fan relationship. Sure, they're pros — CEOs of their own multi-million dollar corporations — and they have every reason to perform at the highest level, for their own sakes. But if the arena gets really bad these last x home games, will any of it linger in future seasons? How resentful would you be of such fans, how much would you want to bleed — win — for these people?
Outright cheering for the opponent? Cheering against the home team? Is there precedent for this? I mean, we've all imagined smothering elderly relatives with pillows, because we're in the will. But we're picking up the pillow now. This is blood lust.

Thank you. Someone has finally found a way to make me ok with this horror show of a season. It took until the first day of Spring, but someone did it.
Think of me as your lovely harbinger of spring, the tulip pushing through your frozen soul.

Sabretooth looks like a guy you could tell some dirty stories, while drinking a couple a beers and trying to pick up some ladies.
The predator looks like he's gonna get caught by Chris Hansen.
See, I get the opposite vibe. I feel like Tooth has Skittles, flavored lube and a cordless power drill somewhere in that get-up.

I don't know what to make out of you.
All goalies are nuts.....but you might hold a trump card of your own.
I'm creepy-crazy. And you're not going to change me. Better shrinks than you have tried. Oh, they tried it all. They finally let me out, and this is the only place that would take me in. You think I'm bad? You should meet my son Zakar-Baal, it means "One with great wisdom and appeal, but he won't score much."

The dude's in-laws are from India....would Darsh, Sandeep, Krishna or Ahmed made you happier?
Don't make me out to be some kind of xenophobe. These are middling celebrities. He takes pictures of the lake and stares at the ice before games in a moment of Zen. She's a so-so actress. If anyone in our respective families would have pulled this name out, for this reason, we'd all be rolling our eyes. They didn't produce some genetic gift to the world, she plopped out a crotch turd, another future terrible human like the rest of us.

I've made my intentions clear, my ass is the Hershey Highway to success.
Expecting something else?

Meh, I really think any analysis of young players has to be seriously tempered by context. These are exhibition games, from Buffalo's point of view, and from the opponent's. Backup goalies, or backups to backups, almost every night. How much game planning do you think the Rangers put into that recent game? I think this is why robviously and others warn us not to put too much emphasis on how you finish a cruddy season, thinking it's going to carry over. It just doesn't. Great promise for Risto. I just don't know how seriously to take his performances in this 50% version of the NHL.

Anxiety, or some psychiatric aspect, is within the realm of possibility.
I still think it more likely that this is part of some larger viral syndrome. Of course, what do I know.
What I do know: I'd have docs outside of WNY treating the guy. No slag on Buffalo or Rochester docs, but, if it's something unusual, you want major market physicians on the job.
Let's crowd source someone else's health crisis! I was thinking viral, too. You spike a fever and a seizure can result. The immune system has fought something off but the body is still worn down from the fight, even for a professional athlete. Feeling a little off after demanding workouts with the team wouldn't be surprising. But I need to know more about that gym. Aud, you get over to the joint. Look behind the lockers.

Is this something? I didn't root for the scabs who played for the Bills that time. They weren't the Bills. Can I think of these guys as not the Sabres? How many current players will be on this team during the next playoff appearance? I don't know, I'm grasping now.
-
Problem?
The name. A little pompous, don't you think? What's wrong with Seven?

Ryan Miller and Noureen Dewulf welcome their first child, Bodhi...
Bodhi is a term meaning enlightenment.
Oh, FFS. So glad that is no longer a Sabre.

I am a sad, pathetic, lonely, weak man. I keep clicking on this thread hoping that the Sam Reinhart chocolate syrup guy has posted something.

Thanks, but you know what ...
I have a recurring dream / nightmare that I am running for an elevator. There are two to choose from that both doors are closing on. I just have to get to where I am going, so I pick one. I jam my leg into the closing door and pry it open and just manage to squeeze myself into it.
I breath a sigh of relief and look to the elevator operator (yeah, I'm old ... I remember those elevator operators) and to my horror General Ratko Mladić (Google him, if you must) is the operator. As he pushes the down button I look out to the other elevator and see that Jesus, Moses and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them) are operating that elevator.
Are they squabbling? Those are some big egos. Who's asking the new riders, "Where ya headed?"
