They wont bite me if I don't shower.

Stop worrying about it. If nothing works out we'll just spend the rest of our days camping in the national parks and living off of government cheese or something. It'll be great. It's crazy isn't it?

I don't really feel that much pressure to be honest. You need to not worry about that. I'll keep paying the bills if you keep working at your business. You'll be way more proud of your business some day than I'll ever be of any 9-5 job I'll ever work.

I know you're sick of me saying this, but you're so lucky you're free of all the that comes with working a 9-5. I wish I could make my own hours. I wish I didn't have debts to pay that required me to even have this job. You might not be making a lot, but you're not trapped like I am, dependent on the benevolence of my employer, hoping that they will continue to see me as essential to their financial success in perpetuity. You can always make money with your art. Me? Back to the factories. Woof.

There's definitely not a lot in this area, and most of it wouldn't be worth the paycheck anyway. Not compared to the relative freedom of freelance. It's not a cash cow, but it's fine. It's only been a year and things have gone pretty well. She's working with my cousin on trying to take the next step for drumming up clients.

Honestly, I just don't "get" IPA's and all of their variants. There's too many of them and they're all kinda boring, , over priced and overrated. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with IPA's. They don't go that good with food, they don't go that good with sports, and they tend to be too boozy to "have a couple with the boys" after work or while doing yard work or hiking or whatever. The IPA just doesn't seem to have a place in my beer drinking lifestyle. I can't find a reason to have one other than "well I haven't had it". Extra Stout you say? Intriguing.

Right. So how many "session" IPA's should I reasonably be consuming in a session? Is a session 12 hours long with a break for lunch? Is it only 4-5 hours? Should I be doing something with my hands during the session? What's the ideal ambient temperature for a session? F*ck it, where's a 12 pack of Genny light cans?

What, exactly, do people consider a "session"? Because I've bought session IPA's and I can't say I've found them that drinkable beyond maybe the first three. The only IPA I know I could session is Heady Topper. That beer is f*cking witchcraft.

Rock Lobster is the best B-52's song and I will fight about it.

I don't know. I don't let other men change my wipers for me.

That's fair. Don't sweat the coffee snobbery. Do I French press fancy stuff at home? Yes, because I'm subjected to the giant tubs of Folgers at work which is barely acceptable. Tim's and Dunkin are a step up from that. I like to buy the big bags of Dunkin coffee at Wegmans. A good drip coffee value in my opinion.

No way. Leino had high expectations. No one is setting the bar high for SPAM or is disappointed when they hate it or it kills them. The Leino of sandwiches has to be a BLT I once had in Provincetown, MA. I swear to god it was just bacon bits on some white bread. The most disappointing sandwich in history. Painfully accurate.

They should just trade for another random goalie then. I'm sure Vegas would take a few phone calls.

I'm worried about his age given the length of the contract. He's 29. He could bounce back next season, but how many more years do we really think he has left being a 50pt guy? 2? Maybe 3? We could be looking at Moulson 2.0 here. I trade him for the right price given the contract length, no knock against him otherwise.

Hell yeah. It can play on a line with a sandwich my mother says my grandfather, an electrician for the Buffalo News printing presses, used to like: leftover baked beans on toast.

A lot of people crap on Tim Hortons coffee, but I like it. It reminds me of high school/college. We used to spend a lot of time sitting around Tim's late at night drinking coffee and bullshitting because it was the cheapest way to get out of the house. I also like their breakfast sandwiches. Mediocre donuts, but that's how it goes.

I don't see it happening. Not unless the NHL makes drastic changes to goaltender equipment to force goalies out of their highly scientific approach to the game. Interesting.

The nice part is that we're not in cap jail. Even with O'Reilly and Okposo on long term contracts, their cap hits aren't that bad. Not when you look at what Ottawa has going on. So maybe we could pry some depth out of Ottawa with that first. O'Reilly and a 2018 first (not the Sabres), for Karlsson and ....?

I think their cap situation is okay. It's the fact that they're stuck with Bobby Ryan and Phaneuf that kills them. They'll be able to pay Karlsson, but the rest of the team would be a mess. If you can get a 2018 first for Kane, would you trade O'Reilly and that first for 2 years of Karlsson?

Would the Senators do O'Reilly for Karlsson, and would you do it?

And that kinda thing is never happening again, ya know? We'll still get guys like Lundy now and again, but for the most part we're never going to see a goalie that just dominates other teams for basically his whole career. He was an extremely talented goalie in an era where goaltending was transitioning to butterfly being the dominant style, so even the most average goalies can put up a Hasek-esque season now and then. Truly dominant goaltenders are a thing of the past.

I feel like if Vegas did this it would immediately take the shine off of the "no expectations fun run". Suddenly they're a team bringing in playoff rentals. I could see that not playing well in the locker room.
