Go get your colon scraped.
Oh yeah? Go get your colon scraped. Or are you not of a certain age yet?
-
Also, only young, thin and attractive people will be let into the area. It's Buffalo, so they'll have to be flown in.

You're like a freakin' mother hen.
-
Is that the noise that will emanate from my bowels during prep?
Good luck, man. Both of my maternal grandmothers died of colon cancer, and my mom is now around the age when her mother was diagnosed. It's no fun, but far better to catch it early than late. And afterwards you'll finally be able to fit into those skinny jeans again! ;)
Comedian Billy Connolly did a great bit about his colonoscopy prep. He said to himself near the end of the torrent that he was going to end up the size of a walnut.

When you start taking the saline solution the day/night before, don't make any plans that involve being more than 10 ft from your toilet.
Yes. I actually have to be at an eye appointment at the Cleveland Clinic at 7:30 a.m. on the day before. I'm to start my prep at noon. There is *no* way I'm going to risk starting the prep before I hit the road, or while on the road, even though it probably takes a while to kick in.
I started looking for videos. There's one of Katie Couric getting hers. Then I happened on the following. This is the most disturbing first 10 seconds of any colonoscopy video. The woman, the accent… the utensils.

Next Friday morning, some guy will do what countless of you have always wanted to do: knock me the ###### out and jam an object up my ass.
Then, in October, I'll have my first colonoscopy...
I kid.
I'm not having any problems. But in early 2009, my brother died of colon cancer at 54. I was 42 at the time, two years past the age your first colonoscopy is recommended if a sibling of yours has colon cancer.
So I am a stupid, stupid man. I can't say exactly why I've put it off. I'm not afraid of having it done. Maybe I've been a bit neurotic about finding out that something's wrong. Makes no sense, I know.
Anyway, colonoscopy stories, jokes, advice, fears, etc. are welcome.
If I can convince just one other fellow neurotic poster to come along for the ride of their lives, my job will be done here.

If Pegula buys this building, good things will certainly ensue.
Right.

So great. I was day drinking downtown in June 99 and saw Hitchcock from a distance lumbering toward the naval park area (was he jogging? Hard to say). I yelled out some slurred combination of "You're going down Hitch you fat fukc!" He gave me a big smile and an extended middle finger. I sorta love him for that.
LUMBERING. I lol-ed.

I'd be curious to see if Vegas could build up their own style of in-arena atmosphere like we always hear about in Nashville. That would be an absolute must if they were to get a team.
We could ask the Pegulas to do this in Buffalo. The arena experience needs a total teardown. They could start by jettisoning The Pointer and The PA Guy Who Stutters.

Is it all about the almighty dollar? (Of course it is.) Aud, green courtesy phone, Aud. Aud, please report to the expansion thread. Aud, call your answering service.
Does expansion make for a better game? Is there enough talent to support more teams? Or will the talent level be (further?) diluted? Will more teams in the places suggested mean more great hockey rivalries, more great arena experiences?
-
OP, you forgot Buffalo, New York.

I'm on a roll. After my thimbleberry discovery yesterday, today I found a large puffball mushroom — soccer ball-sized if not bigger. I've never eaten one. It's solid white inside, roughly the texture of firm tofu. So I cubed it up and sauteed it in olive oil and minced garlic, with some lemon pepper seasoning and celery salt (only salt I had in the house). Yummy.
At least I think it was a puffball. They are definitely safe to eat. But I am starting to feel a little strange. Pat Hannigan? Is that you?

I agree with this. I like my PA better than P.C. physician.
Egos and God Complexes seem to be totally absent in PAs.
-
PA (if I get accepted...I just put my application in and it's extremely competitive)
At my age (45), becoming a Dr. wouldn't make sense as I would barely if ever recoup that investment. Plus, I think PA is actually preferable (for me) for a number of reasons.
Good luck. I admire you. I wish I had the 'nads to do something like that. I think of PAs as doctors who retain characteristics of being human.

I don't think that's it. I never deleted the s before.
Whatever lol

I found a thimbleberry bush along a trail this weekend. It was a new one on me. I had to go home and google it. Its plump, yes thimble-like, red berry is delicious, and the red is just gorgeous. It's tart and sweet and so delicate it almost melts in your mouth. Unfortunately, there were only enough berries to sample, not to make a pie or anything. The leaves resemble, ugh, maple leaves and are striking in their own right. As always, be careful what you're eating in the woods!

Miller is generational.

Blue, where does the Cup factor in? Kane closes some ground there, no?
-
Technology sure is Amazons.
-
More likely, 3.75 *cusps* ........
Thank you for that kind homage. If only I received this kind of respect from the rest of the board.
-
I'm embarrassed to say I never figured out how long a generation l
Sorry PA, McDavid.
And what if the Sabres got both? 3.75 Cups?
-
Schopp (I am not a fan either) did a show about tanking for McDavid/Eichel this past May. He stated that analytics projects his future stats to be worth 2.5 Stanley Cups to what ever team drafts him.
I imagine the .5 means he is projected to win between 2 or 3 cups?
McDavid or Eichel?
-
I don't expect that anyone knows anything, but I'll still ask — any updates?
-
This is straight from eBay.

You might want to consider meeting in a neutral area for local pickups
-
If you don't want the person to know where you live, consider meeting at a restaurant or near a warehouse
-
This would probably make you and the buyer feel more comfortable
-
Make it an area with more traffic, so you will never have to be alone
-
Make SURE you are not meeting in a dark alleyway
-
-
To summarize, near a warehouse, good. Dark alleyway, bad. Dark warehouse should be OK, right?

My doctor builds and sails (?) model battleships, in mock battles. No, really, it's an actual competition, with people who travel around and do it. I have a good battleship joke at the ready — if I am coherent enough to deliver it.
So I'm thinking during the prep I could watch a game from last season. Any recommendations?
