That's not too bad. But they still had to go cut a notch into it. Oddly, I have noticed that Buffalo sports teams apparel is more sane than a certain other city's stuff I frequent. Maybe they know that most Buffalo women are a little more down to earth?

Nothing wrong with it! There's plenty of girly girls out there. I guess we gotta be careful as a culture to not demonize that, either. As an adult, I have a desk full of matchbox cars, but I love my dresses heels and makeup. It's just frustrating to buy anything cut for my body shape to do something outdoorsy/sports related and I have a choice- pink or some other pastel. Want a Sabres/Bills/any sports tshirt cut for my waist/bust? Hope you like deeeeep v necks, sheer material, stupid colors and glitter. Harumph.

Eff. Yes. Yeah, screw the pink thing. I can't even buy mucking boots in a women's size that doesn't somehow have pink or pink camo or ###### RHINESTONES on it. Barf. d4rk is right, huge pet peeve of mine. My thing that is awesome is I finally got paid for 10 weeks of freelance that was overdue. It feels so good. Huge weight off the shoulders. Thanks to those who offered me support in case things got sticky- you know who you are.

That combination could also be quite painful. Careful where you put those skate blades, eh?! New meaning to playing the crease.

Lactating?

I wore a Doug Gilmour Sabres jersey to work today. On the walk in, the UPS delivery guy yelled "Oh hey! Gilmour! Nice! Go Sabres!" Then another guy in an office in the building saw the jersey and also gave a "Go Sabres!" I've worn my Ott jersey several times and no one's ever reacted outside of a "rough times" sort of comment. It's pretty awesome to see some Sabres optimism!

Mister Lahey, I don't want to live a lie anymore. It's okay.

This. I'm the only designer on this massive project. We have the company (companies, plural, actually) believing there's a whole design team. There's not, and whenever the 8 metric tonnes of feedback rolls in from all directions, I have to sift through it. And the main person sending the feedback tlks like ths. thx. Send a massive part of the game- get told "sumthin isnt right. dont know what. plz fix. k thx." I've never had a person with this company speak with anything less than perfect diction and clarity. Good lord. Even if you're on your phone- unless it's not a smart phone and has T9- autocorrect should kick in, right? I'm losing my marbles over here. I can forgive some grammar nazi offenses but the only thing worse would be if the person tYpeD iN th1s mANneR. whew. End rant. I had a scare like this a couple years ago with my mum. They pulled her in on Christmas Eve to do a biopsy. Ruined Christmas for us all. Luckily, nothing, but still. My sister had cancer, I had a brush with it, it's just a horrible thing to face. That's some scary, fast moving times. I feel for anyone who has to face that process of testing.

Good to hear! Give her a huge hug.

Man. What a ###### hit. I hadn't seen the video until this morning- at first glance it looked like he tripped, then I realized he bulled the goalie over then did a ballerina swan dive that culminated in a WWE finishing move. Seriously, what was he thinking? No one even pushed him! I hope Backstrom is ok. Never want to see a goalie lying motionless in the crease. Kadri... Well, I hope justice is served.

My thoughts are with her, you and the rest of your family. Best of luck.

Granted. He would look a bit like a pale peachy pickled pool floaty by the last few sips.

I figured the moat would draw him in. He'd drink the moat, then just pass out in a pile before he could navigate beyond the moat and to his wife's uh... dinner table. It's an awful big moat, guys.

That woman probably has a taser for whenever that sweaty, mobile mountain of putrid gastric byproduct comes near her. A moat of vodka around her part of the house.

"I've got more than enough to eat at home" :lol: oh man. There just are no words.

Is yours from that guy on reddit who made megaman sprites for all the teams? Cool stuff!

All on Gil Perreault's birthday, no less.

Yeah, that's the one. Apparently it's incorrect and Red Cross took it down- there's an apology on their site now. When I first saw it I was just totally stunned. The photo I previously posted comparing this one to Katrina- you're right about strength when smaller- that wasn't katrina's full size, but how it looked at full strength. Tighter circumference = less power lost over land/water/distance, faster winds. Hurricanes are fascinating, horrible storms. Here's a comp someone did of the continental US, the Philippines for size and the satellite image of the storm. Scary no matter what size, really, especially with the hell it has wrought.

Yzerman is probably grinding his teeth to powder now. This is really gonna hurt a team that was pulling it together. I love watching Stamkos play- hope he heals quick!

For perspective- Katrina at its greatest intensity on the right. The Red Cross posted a photo of the storm over the entire US- turned out to be wrong. There are other photos where the Philippines are shown on the US map and the storm superimposed over it. Pretty chilling stuff. I donated to a couple different organizations today. There's a lot of them out there.

Absolutely horrible. Another absolutely massive storm, a "once in a lifetime" type event, but yet there's no global warming, it's just weather patterns, it'll change again in a few years etc etc. Sigh. I'll be looking for a way to donate. A small, lucky change of plans had me out of the way of the tsunami in Phuket, Thailand years ago. It was haunting to see the videos of the hotel we would have been at get swept away. I guess it helped me realize the magnitude of despair that natural disasters like these can bring. Being that it's not North American soil, I'm afraid it will be overlooked as the tragedy has not struck "home". Any little bit may help.

Well, I THINK all his fingers are intact... Didn't get any blood on the work, and that's all that matters!

hahah Glad you like it! And i trusted him with a razor. A RAZOR.

haha nope. Though that would be awesome. Old timey yodeler/blues dude. He's in the rock n roll hall of fame as a guy who helped pave some groundwork for the emergence of music as we know it. He was known as "the yodeling brakeman" because he sang about trains a lot. Yeah. I personally enjoy it, but it's not for everyone. That's awesome! I've tinkered in "metal bands" too. Quotes because nothing ever came together. I'll have to keep my eyes open to catch McCarthyizm. Sounds like a good time.

Most of it. Where I'm from is Detroit south. Which is... fun. Joe the Plumber is from my city. West PA sounds more appetizing.
