I was crying laughing at the French goalie during PK's. That looked like Larry David wrote it.

It will never snow in north eastern Pennsylvania ever again. Ever! All it does is *****in rain and slush. Every "winter" here just gets shittier. We went from getting 60“ of snow (which is terrible) per year when I moved here, down to less than 30" last year. Every year is worse than the last. If it wasn't for the lack of sunlight and the fact that my wife would leave me, I'd move to Alaska!
Meanwhile, Tahoe has gotten over 7 feet of snow in the last 14 days.

I know it's wrong but I can't stop laughing!

Baseball has a draft lottery now? Why?
Oh, it gets better. Saw multiple Twitter conspiracies on how they were going to rig it!
Rig the baseball lottery? Baseball! The sport where only three(3) number 1 overall picks are in the Hall of Fame. (Griffey Jr. in '16, Chipper in '18 and Harold Baines in ’19) The sport where if you don't like your draft slot, you don't have to sign and can enter the draft up to 4 more times. The sport where you can't trade draft picks! The sport where the draft matters the absolute least of any sport ever...
...so, it's probably rigged.

Speaking of volleyball, was anyone else the crazy fool who would dive for the volleyball in high school gym class?
We played lacrosse most days in highschool. Or we'd swim/dive.
But yes, hitting was out of control. But gym was 9th period for a reason.

This is how you do the splits:
I stand corrected. I've definitely heard THAT phrasing!

"...do the splits"
I've been listening to the English language for almost 4 decades, and I'd never heard "do the splits" until the last few months. What is this nonsense? I hear it all the time now.

I'll leave the light on for yous.
We don't have any snow yet, but the surf is up.
Surf is up? In the north Atlantic in late November? What in the sam hell is the water temperature right now? It's gotta be near 40, right?
I'm not sure what that is in Canadian temperature. Your ways are strange to me. 😉

Thanks for stopping by.
Pretty much all the matches have been very entertaining. Through in some huge upset results and it's a good WC so far. Hate the location, but what can we do. FIFA is corrupt and always will be no matter who is in charge and who ends up in jail.
I'll reword it.
The US plays boring soccer.

I mean, if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Everyone has their own tastes.
I can’t watch a baseball game for more than 10 mins. It’s incredibly dull, to me.
Im sure there are people who feel that same way about hockey.
But these World Cup games have actually been quite good.
The US's first match started out fun. It's was pretty darn watchable for the first half. Then the second half happened and oh my goodness, what a drag.
Then the second match, I feel like the whole purpose of that game wasn't to win, but to keep England from winning. And ya know what? Mission Accomplished! But, yuck!

Yup, still boring.

Lol, they get their ass kicked all period, end up with a 2 on 1 and Zemgus fires it off the boards.
These boys owe Anderson a beer.

Ok, that's enough of that.

I watched Many Saints of Newark. I thought it would be better.
I figured it wasn't any good because after big hoopla over it actually being made, I actually forgot it had been released. Lol

Way to get after it WNY

On a related note, have there been huge safety upgrades for skis in the last, say, 20 years? 🙂 I'm going to take mine down to checked out and whatnot, but if there are huge benefits I'll probably buy another set if this sticks. Don't care about performance at this point, I'm sure new carbon fiber or whatever skis are amazing.
Safety upgrades: eh, not really. You're still nailed to 2 planks of wood.
Tech upgrades: absolutely! Ski design from when I started skiing in the late 80s, through the mid 90s was pretty much the same as when my dad was skiing in the 60's. The bindings we're a bit better, but the skiis were all straight and long and heavy. From the mid 90s to the mid 00s they loved cheap, cap construction, but they really started to get the shape of the ski down to a science. 2010 to now, the gear is fantastic.
So, do you need new skiis? Probably not. But buying new toys is the reason you have toys in the first place!
You're definitely going to need new boots though. I don't make the rules, but 20 year old boots are totally packed out and s***ty beyond belief.

Sucks being a Sabres fan these days, but with all the snow, things are looking up for skiers and snowboarders.
Anyone here like to hit the slopes? Sadly, I don't get out as much as I'd like to with two kids playing travel hockey. Last year I think I logged about 6 days total, including 3 days in Banff.
This year, all I've got booked so far is Superbowl weekend at Bristol Mountain. Most years my friends and I go out west or at least to the Adirondacks or Quebec. Our favourite spot is the Salt Lake city area where we've got at least 5 or 6 times. It's tough to beat the 500 inches of snow per year and the quality of terrain there.
A big trip likely won't be in the cards, but we'll see how much time and budget is left towards the end of hockey season. Hopefully I'll get in a bunch of Holiday Valley night skiing sessions. Cheers!
Edit: feel free to post your favourite ski destinations and why you like them!
I won't get on snow until after Thanksgiving. We have had some nice snowmaking weather over the past 3 days though, so that's good. I'll hit my 3 local hills about 70 times this year. I'll get up to Gore at least twice. Might even go home and ski Woods Valley or Snow Ridge. I'll hit Whiteface if The Slides open this year. No plans to hit VT, NH or ME this year, but ya never know. Anything within a 7 hour drive is perfectly doable.
Favorite Destinations: Gore, Killington, Wildcat, Sunday River, Whiteface (in good snow years, it's unbelievable)

Can we stop with James Cook yet?
