  1. God bless that man
  2. When I was in highschool a father of some fellow students shot his wife and then killed himself. In front of his two daughters. They were getting divorced and the wife had called the police to come confiscate his guns for safety reasons, but they didn't. And then... Suicide is such a tough thing to wrap ones mind around. The truth is that it's rarely a purely rational decision. Depression and anxiety do such weird things to the mind. I have to imagine sometimes it's like being in a mental fog, like a sleepwalking dream state, where you just do things and you're conscious but not there.
  3. Clint Malarchuk's recounting of his suicide attempt in his book was one of the most raw and honest things I have ever read. It taught me a lot about the "why" of suicide. And it taught me not to judge those who attempt it or succeed at it.
  4. Welp, this season is over before it started. Way to go.
  5. He was punk rock as hell and a genuine good dude in a world of egotists. http://anthonybourdain.tumblr.com/post/84641290831/under-the-volcano
  6. Jett Wooooooooo is my guy
  7. I know it's supposed to be Fantastic Friday, but the news of Anthony Bourdain's suicide today is just too much. Bourdain was a genuinely good dude, which is a really hard reputation to build when you're a celebrity who is on the road and working as much as he was. He leaves behind an 11 year old daughter and a legacy of being a super empathetic journalist and champion of this planet's diversity. Such a loss for the world.
  8. I gotta say, Washington looks ready to strike. Huge PP coming up.
  9. I had to go to a funeral for a buddy's 4 year old daughter back about 10 years ago now. That funeral was harder than any of my own grandparents funerals. Absolutely soul crushing. He's such a good dude and I know he still carries that pain.
  10. I love Bryz. You guys ready for tonight's game? 8:00 start time, so hopefully puck drop by 9.
  11. The best tacos in town.
  12. I'm looking forward to getting around to fixing my stereo in my car soon. I still buy cars with CD players because I like spinning albums while driving. It used to be my favorite pastime back in college. Walkman on the middle of the front seat with the cassette deck adapter thing and a visor full of burned copies of CD's I had at home (didn't want to ruin the original CDs so I would make copies of them.)
  13. If Hanifin comes with Aho then I'm in.
  14. I'm tellin ya, Weight and Tavares are going to Toronto.
  15. It's almost like there are a ton of people out there who like that kinda dreck.
  16. You really think the Caps aren't going to blow this one just to make it interesting?
  17. Loooove Letterkenny. Canadian humour at its best.
  18. How many complaints did those posts receive from forum members?
  19. This scheduling is so dumb. Game tomorrow and then the next one isn't until Sunday? Guys, I want the playoffs to be over.
  20. :lol:
  21. This is a good point.
  22. Personally, I have no desire to go back to an open catch-all politics thread like we had before. That thing was a mess and invited trolls. I want to talk Politics again, but not like that.
  23. One way to accomplish this would be to do what another forum I'm on does: a paid membership section. Charge $15/yr so that the more dedicated members of this forum have somewhere more lightly moderated to discuss more personal topics with one another. Call us "Supporting Members" or something and use our desire to talk more freely as a way to fund the site.
