  1. To all of the gym questions, I am in high school now. We never play dodgeball anymore, but it isn't banned, we always are doing something else. Girls are required to swim all six days of the swim unit, or else they make up the day later. If they don't, they get a failing gym grade. It was more lenient for guys, as I skipped 3-4 of the days with no consequences. We swam in trunks, which have to be taken back and shoved in your locker, not allowed to be air dried anywhere. It sucks. The hockey unit was, like, 3 days or something too short, but kids were breaking fingers. We just mess around in the weight room every day now.

  2. If you watch the replay, Hodgson did have a hole bottom left. He didn't miss it by more than six inches, and lack of confidence will do that. This year seems to be a wash, and I haven't seen Hodgson enough to claim he was a bust, we won't know that for years. Let's let him grow before we jump all over him. A little criticism that you would give any rookie is reasonable, but some people are talking about him like he has 5 goals on a $4 million salary cough cough boyes cough cough.

     

     

    The Better Days commercial just came on. That song makes me want to throw something out a window and start crying.

  3. The game is at a different speed than Stafford is able or willing to play this year. If you take away the hat tricks he miraculously came up with last year, he had his typical year, which means disappearing for long stretches.

     

    Can't believe I just wasted my 200th post saying that.

    I hate when people say, "take away his hat tricks..." that is stupid. Are those goals worth less because they happened in the same game? That is like saying take away fitzpatricks multi TD games, and he didn't throw very many touchdowns.

     

    I do agree with the general consensus of stafford on the board, I just felt the need to rant after a crappy game.

  4. I recall watching a Vancouver game recently and hoping for Hodgson, or a top center prospect like him. At least we have a solid foundation for hope for the next few seasons, center wise, and props to Darcy for today. It was a good day, good enough for me to not be upset at giving him the summer to work.

    They're not exactly rock bios, but I've been reading a lot of Neil Peart lately. His lyrics have always fascinated me, and I thought his books would make for interesting reading. I was not disappointed. "Ghost Rider" has been my favorite, simply because of the subject matter (written as a documentary of his motorcycle trip after his wife and daughter died.) I find ways that people cope with such severe loss to be a fascinating read.

     

    Of course, I find Neil Peart fascinating on his own. I'm a big fan of drums. There are maybe a handful that fall in line with Neil on the 1-10 scale (Danny Carey is one, but that's just because Tool pretty much ignores anything conventional. You know you've got a good groove going when my wife says "Whoa ... that's slick," referencing the intro to "Ticks and Leeches").

     

    Also reading the Dick Cheney auto-biography, "In My Time" and "Steve Jobs." In queue, there's Bush's "Decision Points," "The Anatomy of Peace" byThe Arbinger Institute, and a few other.

    Peart has always been my favorite drummer, but I have never thought of reading his books before. I'll have to give them a look!

    In that case, I'll complain about you not complaining in this thread. We take our complaints very seriously around here so the least you could do is at least make up a fake one. :censored: ;)

    Actually, I can find one. I have only snowmobiled once this year! This winter blows!:(
