  1. We have a small lab space across the hall that is shared between our group and one other lab, and inside is a large -70C freezer that is also jointly used between our two labs. The boss in the other lab (who I actually like) has been whining for weeks about how loud the freezer is, even though he has an office door between him and the room with the freezer. Now he's complained long enough that it's being moved to another room down the hall, which will be less convenient and also unmonitored, which is no good in case something goes wrong with it. We use this freezer heavily, and somehow one person bitching gets to overrule the wishes of everyone else here. It's a lab, not a library, man! Get some damn headphones and man the f*ck up.

     

    Jeez, I'm grumpy today... I really need to get laid.

    I've been grumpy for years. So central PA huh. Would you ever lower yourself to date a northcentral man?

  2. Except that most of the impartial "experts" do indeed have the Sabres ranked towards the very top in terms of deepest prospect pool, and it only stands to get deeper after the next two drafts. Of course they could all end up being dead wrong, and Murray could bungle the drafts, but there certainly is reason for being optimistic at this point.

     

    MIght be my imagination, but haven't these experts said the same thing many times post-2007? It's almost become cliche: "the Buffalo Sabres draft well."

  3. I got a question. I planted some rhubarb in the early summer of 2012. I heard that you shouldn't harvest any in the first couple of years, then just a little, then you can go wild. The timing confuses me. This is the third year — is this the year I can take a few stalks, or pick away with impunity?

     

    Rhubarb pie! Maybe things aren't as bad as you thought.

  4. I like the one-stop shop on knowledge, and 26 takes care of that for those of us who don't have the time to navigate to 20 different websites during the day.

     

    Again, I agree. 26 is fine. He (I think he's a he) does a good job. GoBillsinDallas, the poster who puts together all the news links, would be proud.

     

    This one story — I don't think it deserved a thread.

     

    26 probably didn't deserve the "work for the Sabres" shot — there is, after all, no greater insult right now.

  5. Jerseys for 20 out of 19,000 people and balloons to get you to buy stuff at the store. Lame.

     

    These guys continue to be so bad at this stuff. I'm sure you remember the "we're sorry" gesture after the lockout. Again, a shameless attempt to get people into the Sabres Store. Really, Terry, you couldn't put gift certificates to Ruth's Chris on every seat? I exaggerate, but they appear to have missed another opportunity to show they genuinely appreciate what the fans are going through.

  6. When you can skate without thinking about it you will be a man, my son.

     

    Thank you, Father.

     

    I realized toward the end of the skating season that one big mistake I made was becoming very prideful about not falling. I would brag about not falling in two weeks. Well, yeah, I didn't fall, but I got nowhere with crossovers, skating backwards and such. Only when I got my nerve up again to skate pretty fast and try to stop did I start to do some good one-footed snow plow stops.

  7. Are you kidding? The guy freaking aggregates everything into every GDT and you're going to complain about it? He must spend at least an hour and a half every game day. I don't care if he works for the Kremlin.

     

    I'm no complaining about the GDTs, which I'm sure many people find useful. I just don't think we need tire-pumping threads like this, that's all. Sports teams — all big businesses — infiltrate message boards and social media all the time. It's smart.

     

    Easy solution....Don't click on the thread. BTW, the ridiculous conspiracy theories are a bit much....but enjoy. :unsure:

     

    I had to click on it. I assumed it was going to be a snarky ripjob on the franchise, which would be well deserved, don't you think?

  8. Rink closed here a few weeks ago and in Olean on Sunday. I'll try to skate a bit over the summer, but it's over an hour to either Jamestown or Orchard Park.

     

    Taking a look at the big picture, my skating is far ahead of what I would have predicted after a few skates. I almost quit, honestly, I was so bad. But as I finished the season, I realized I have a ton of work to do in order to call myself a good skater and play hockey in a respectable fashion. Crossovers, skating backwards with speed, hockey stops — that's Phase 2 of Del Boca Vista.

  9. This show gets cornier all the time. I still like it. I can't stop watching it. But just for fun go back and watch season one again. The promise of this show has not been fulfilled. But Merica loves it, so who am I to say?

  10. I've heard some crazy theories on the deal with that grill at Terminus. Hannibal Lecter ######. I am curious as to why the good inhabitants of Terminus would risk their lives and put signs for Terminus up two-three-day walks away. Just to be nice?
