The remedy is just to think back to the good ol' days. If you were in front of the person (not hiding behind a computer), would you respond that way? If you would, then it's likely acceptable; or maybe you really are a prick.
Louis C.K. has a funny bit in this vein. How the anonymity and safety of your vehicle gives you license to direct unimaginably rude comments to people, comments you would never make, say, in an elevator if someone stepped in front of you.

Didn't we experiment with that a few years back? Or am I imagining that?
We did. You're not.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.

Remove post counts. Force new members to upload their own avatar, so no more Connolly Tip-offs.

It's not PA that has his hand on your ass.
:flirt:
It's not my hand. I would use both hands if I ever got that close.

Wait what are we talking about?
Are you still able to see the douche?

I have redeemed myself! I found an old Polaroid camera on the free table at a yard sale. 68 bucks! (Minus eBay's cut and I'm going back to give the nice old guy who didn't know what he was putting out a twenty.) This would be a fun side business.

Why would someone want such a piece of junk? The people who bought it, at the-impossible-project.com, refurbish these cameras and resell for 400 bucks!

Just wondering: any chance there's an epub version of the book? I'm going to read it, but I'd love to be able to use my reader instead of the tablet or computer.
On my Dad's side, my grandfather tried to enlist a few times but was rejected due to a heart condition. Either my great aunt or grandmother worked in the Curtiss (??) factory in Buffalo on planes. (They're both Helen Pie, so I need to verify which one it was). I think my parents still have the aluminium soldering/welding kit in a green toolbox stamped with the name somewhere.
I don't know what my mom's side of the family did, I'll have to ask my mom next time she's here.
Sorry, no epub version. Just PDFs for now.

Final or finals?

Someone, please, anyone, diagram this sentence.

Hey Sabre Dance, I think what you are remembering is that in the 1980s, the first two rounds (involving the Sabres anyway) went back to back for the first four games (SITE 1 SITE 1 DAY OFF SITE 2 SITE 2), then spread out.

Was the NHL wrong for so many years? Was the move to days off between games about better hockey or something else?
-
Fwiw, one #fancystats blogger says the second night of a back to back game affects a team's relative Corsi.

Talking in code. Smart. They'll never crack it.

Maybe it never happened in the SC Finals, but I could have sworn that years ago, teams played their first two games back-to-back, had a day off to travel, then played two more back to back. (Of course, if they needed any additional games there were days off in between for travel.) A seven game series would then only take 11 days, not 15 (or more). Of course, I'm old and my memory is probably just fading.... :blink:
Replace the xxxx with the year in the following link and you can see the dates of all games in the final for that year. I looked randomly at a few years, and the only finals I could find with back to back games were 1940 (first two games back to back) and 1950 (last two games back to back).
Have fun. I'd like to see something on my desk in the morning.

Highlights:
Rick said he feels great and recent scans have been clear.
On analytics: "It's going to get worse!" and "I'm so sick of hearing about Corsi!" LOVE that man.
On the May Day call, he said for the 10,000th time that it just popped in his head. He forgets using it during the regular season when May scored in overtime
He advises kids to play a sport other than hockey (in addition to hockey). The context of the question was whether the game has gotten too "overcoached." He sounded a little down on a sport that he said has given him so much.

Just a blip. It's been a very warm May.

Board pet peeve. The icon indicates there's a new post, but it's just someone casting a new vote. I've read Vlad's prediction five times now.

Is it really 46° in Buffalo right now?
Yes. It's not much warmer in the twin tiers — it's 80 in Pittsburgh. Cold air advection or something. Crazy.

From Friedman's 30 thoughts...
That surely sounds like another year of bad hockey. More entertaining, but I don't see much heavy action coming for us after that.
- Bylsma not sure if Kane and Eichel are a fit together since Kane carries the puck.
It sounds like, "I hope we're better next year while still having a shot at the top pick."

Sticking w/ TB in 7; but expect I'm hoping Chicago wins.
President Clinton, is that you?

I'll make a bet that the Hawks get to another Cup after this one before the Sabres do
I know no one's going to want to touch this action... but I will. I'm dangerous that way.
(OT) Any poets out there?

Anybody write poetry? I've become inspired recently after hearing former poet laureate Billy Collins read some of his stuff on "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" (I listen to NPR, but I'm not smart.) His work is so accessible and funny, you don't feel like it's even poetry. So I wrote a few. They're throwaways, really, certainly nothing that I would put up against a serious poet's work.
Anyone want to share? I sure as hell am not going first.
