Credit Unions often rock. I just found out recently that many credit unions participate in a national network for "shared branch" so you can bank wherever if you're not near your own.
I'll second this. If you're eligible to join a credit union due to some sort of family connection (military, state employee, etc.) go with that route if at all possible.

It may not count since the sticker/motto was altered but there's a grocery store chain down here called Piggly Wiggly and they sell bumper stickers that say "I'm sticking with the pig" and there's a pig logo on them. One time years ago I was driving behind a guy who had 2 of these stickers on the back window of his truck. On his side it read "I'm sticking the Pig" and on his wife/girlfriends/shotgun side it said "I'm the pig". Still the second best bumper sticker I've ever seen behind this old veteran guy who had one on the back of his car that said "Vietnam. We were winning when I left".

Only if you think there's a chance he'll retired before he turns 30. Even if we end up trading him, he's low risk to not play out the contract based on his age.Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a cap recapture disaster waiting to happen, isn't it?

I'm just as excited as anybody about the signings. Got some guys I REALLY wanted... BUT if these additions put us at around the 4th-7th worst team in the league I'll be severely disappointed. That wouldn't be enough improvement to kind of get over the miss on McDavid/Eichel. You'd be just far enough to probably miss Barzal, Konecny and Zacha, too, if you're at 6 and up.
If we're too far from the basement in the standings we should still be able to sell off enough players at the deadline (Stafford, Steward, Meszaros, etc.) to collapse at the end and remain in the running for a top pick. I imagine all the bottom teams will be having the best fire sales as well though.

The Bills are always on the uptick when there are no games to actually play. How else does a significant portion of the fan base fool themselves into thinking this is the year they make the playoffs despite the decade and a half of futility? We fool ourselves into believing that a couple of free agent pick ups and draft picks have improved the team by leaps and bounds and ignore the fact that the rest of the league also had the same ability to improve their clubs.In what way are the Bills on an uptick?

I think it's because Campbell only has 2 years left on his contract while Ehrhoff has 7. Personally I'd prefer to keep Ehrhoff unless we can get a top 10 pick or 1st line prospect in a deal for him. I'd be fine with bringing in Campbell to help reach the cap floor too until some of our younger players develop.So you guys would be willing to trade for Soupy with a contract that's almost twice the cap hit of Ehrhoff, but many have no problem letting Ehrhoff go. Interesting. Trust me, Soupy isn't what he once was, and he certainly isn't as good as Ehrhoff.

Thanks rakish and bunomatic. Not sure I agree with their list but all of them make at least some kind of sense. I'd definitely like to keep Hodgson even if they keep him on the wing due to his ability to play center and I wouldn't move Grigorenko because his value doesn't seem like anything we got back would make it worth while. I'd prefer to stockpile centers and push them to the wing as needed.

Any chance somebody can post the article? It won't open here at my job. I'm having trouble thinking of 5 players they'd possibly move on draft day. Ehrhoff, Stafford, Stewart would be the one I think would be listed. Myers is probably on there. Leino should be a buyout candidate and has zero trade value. Who is listed? McBain?

@hfialkov: Panthers source tells Sun Sentinel if they don't like offers for No. 1 pick then most likely they'll go for D Aaron Ekblad #FlaPanthers
I hope so. I don't want to end up like Nashville and be much better on defense than offense. Give me whichever forward Murray feels is the best. Personally I lean towards Reinhart but I'd definitely love to find out who Murray prefers with Ekblad off the board.

My response is too late now but you can't go wrong with a fried egg on a cheeseburger. Especially if you don't break the yolk until you take your first bite.I'm making burgers tonight.
So, Sabrespace...What are your favorite non-standard burger toppings?

For the boat load of money we would have to pay to get Callahan here there is no way he'd play on the 3rd line particularly when you have Foligno, Stewart, and Stafford over him. Plus I highly doubt we'll be that active in free agency. I think we may pick up 1 or possibly 2 but even that is pushing it, plus I think Murray is leaning towards letting our #2 pick stay in juniors for another season. I'd definitely be satisfied with that lineup for next season I just don't see it as likely. I'd also like to see Zadarov up with the Sabres since he isn't eligible for the AHL.So what are people's thoughts on this potential line-up for next year?
I like it in that it should create a good environment for the kids and improve the quality of hockey we saw without spoiling our chance to tank.
Stafford/Ennis/Foligno
Stewart/Girgensons/Hodgson
Callahan/2nd overall/Ott
Deslauriers/Larsson/Mitchell/Kaleta
Ehrhoff/Ristolainen
Myers/Orpik
Weber/Pysyk
Enroth/Neuvirth
Our other young defencemen can take turns filling the number seven spot
And we will probably have to substitute other free agents for the veteran trio I have in there.
They are just the best examples of the type of player I'm looking for in those roles.

This could be dangerous...
1. I regularly lie to people about their tatoos. I don't think they're awesome, cool, or sweet. In fact, I think 99.9% of them are stupid.
2. If the Bills moved to TO, I'd still root for them but it would with an emotional detachment. If they go to any other city, I'd stop watching the NFL not as a protest, but because I just don't give an isht about the league.
3. Not a day goes by that I don't regret telling my ex I didn't want to be married to her anymore.
4. I get drunk more frequently now - as a 45 year old man - than I have in 20+ years. Might be related to number 4.
5. My girlfriend has put on a lot of weight over the past year. It's not attractive and it can't be good for her health but I have absolutely no idea how to talk to her about it without sounding like a shallow and rude arsehole.
6. Friends tell me I slide back into my Canadian accent when I drink. I'm 100% American.
If anybody has suggestions on #5, I'll listen...
Just be honest without trying to be mean. Tell her there's no nice way to say this but you've noticed that she has put on some weight and it's making her less attractive to you (or leave that part out since it's kind of intuitive). Say you are worried about her health instead. You may get a frying pan across the back of your head anyway but it's important to be honest with her. If you've put on some weight too bring yourself into the equation and point out that you've put on a few pounds as well. Then offer to work out/exercise with her and eating better so you can both get back on the path to being healthier. Offer to join a gym together, go for walks, or whatever activity you think she may be willing to do with you. If you don't bring it up the problem could get worse or you could start to resent her and it will only lead to bigger problems down the road.

You should use bald eagle eggs instead. They taste just like freedom. Then wash it all down with the tears of Indians and the blood of baby seals.I'm going to fry 4 pounds of bacon in pure lard, then wrap it around 2 giant veal breasts....make French toast out of 2 loaves of sourdough with a dozen super jumbo double yoke eggs....then take said toast and mix it with a pound of deep fried provolone cheese....stuff the veal breasts....and eat it all in one sitting just so I can get the taste of this filthy, PETA loving thread....out of my mouth.....

3 game 7's tonight... Game on!
To the above conversation, F the Bruins. I hope any team other than the Bruins wins the Cup. I hate the Patriots, the Red Sox, the Bruins, the Celtics... even the New England Revolution... oh, and the BC Eagles, hate them too. :angel:
Amen, sir. I'd root for the Taliban if they were playing Boston, even playing that sport where you drop the dead goat in the circle from Rambo III.

Apparently it doesn't matter what your intended use is. All that matters is what someone else thinks your intended use is. All I know is that I have to now be very careful what words I use when describing action movies. "Hans Gruber and his team of rent-a-goons" doesn't sound anywhere near as good as "Hans Gruber and his team of thugs", but I guess I'll have to go that route from now on since the hacker guy was black.
Louis CK refers to stuff like this as white people problems. Regardless of that though, words are always up to the interpretation of the listener and always have been. Whether they interpret them in the way you desire or not depends on both the speaker/author and the listener/reader but you can’t always make people perceive things in the same way that you do.

My girlfriend has two kids and I joked with her that I'll be happy to take care of them like they were my own as long as she's willing to adopt my two retarded children, the Bills and Sabres. I think I got the better end of the deal because her kids are great.6 years? Amateurs! :) My wife and I first met in 6th grade homeroom. We were only acquaintances through high school, didn't see each other for 15 years, then got together 4 years ago, married last year, kid coming in August.
We're telling people our daughter will be "Starshine Bottlerocket" when they ask. Or "ApplePie".

Weber was so bad because he was playing top 4 minutes. Weber is not a top 4 defenseman, and was paired with Jaime McBoner half the time. Playing defense more than you should and against more difficult competition with weaker partners is going to make any player look terrible. Especially when you consider how freakin' hard of a position it is to play in the first place. Weber was put in that bad spot by Darcy's decision making and his comments were pointed at Darcy.
You can basically argue that about everyone on the team though. Ennis and Hodgson would probably perform better against lesser competition but both of them spent a good amount of time this season against our sorry excuse for a top line and they didn't stink up the place. Hell, as much as I love Ott he spent a good part of the season in our top 6 and there's no way in hell a player like him should be playing on a scoring line on a good team other than as a temporary injury fill in. The point is that most of our guys were put into a position where they were slotted at least one line or one pairing too high so Weber wasn't alone in that. That's what happens when you have no true top line talent and no true shut down defensemen. Hell, a portion of our top 6 was filled with guys that we picked up off waivers. All that being said, I have no problem with what he said as long as he realizes that his defensive gaffes were also part of the problem and not just some of the other players dogging it and mailing it in.

At work isn't really an issue. We have uniforms. But I'm really tired of just rocking gym shorts and a white t-shirt all the time in the summer. I'm a sweaty guy so I want to be comfortable. But I always look like a schlub when I'm out with the girlfriend because she can just throw on a sun dress and look pulled together.
I wish I could wear a more classic look, like slacks and a sports shirt, something 50s style. But then I'll just look like Ace Ventura or a hipster. I don't want to look like I'm wearing a costume.
But I really just don't want to wear khaki shorts and a polo shirt. :yawn:
I have to dress business casual for my job which means the evil black socks and dress shoes along with slacks/dress pants and a button up shirt and the shirt is the least horrible part of it (only because I have to tuck it in). I've got a ton of those short sleeve button up plaid shirts and if you don't have to tuck them in they are very comfortable and don't get you too warm. Plus they don't really show your sweat thanks to the pattern even though most of them are pretty thin so I'd recommend them. I live down south so I sweat a lot too at times, especially when I've been drinking. I'd follow Matt as well and go with cargo shorts over gym shorts as well. The only time I wear gym shorts is either at the gym or when I'm bumming around the house but even then I'm usually wearing plaid pajama pants.

What's wrong with shorts, a t-shirt, and a pair of sneakers? You work in a factory, right? I'd imagine the dress code would allow for that, although you may have to wear steel-toed shoes instead of sneakers.How the f*ck am I supposed to dress comfortable in the summertime without looking like:
1. A bro
2. A douche
3. A hipster
4. A 55 year old man?
:wacko:

All this time I've been going with the tuxedo t-shirt (sleeveless of course) complete with mustard stains and cutoff jean shorts similar to my idol Lieutenant Dangle. It appears I have much to learn about being classy.That was me. I wear the Perreault one on formal occasions, like to weddings and stuff.

I don't get the playoff optimism. Every year I hope for the playoffs but every year we're bad to just on the bad side of mediocre. At this point I'd be happy with solid improvement. Give me 8-8 this year and I'll be happy. As always it will hinge on the performance of our QB.

I'd like to change my answer to: Does a bear ###### in the woods? Ticket prices always go up. It's a certain as death, taxes, and crooked politicians.

I'd imagine so under the guise of the "we need to qualify for revenue sharing for future owners" line they used last year.
Ow, my eyes.

They can't really do the jersey collage of our uniform justice without showing off the sweet gray pit stains or the cape effect of having a jersey that's primarily yellow in the front and blue on the shoulders and down the back. It doesn't even show the slug in its full glory. They could have made their Frankenstein version much more of an eye sore.
