  1. At 1395, 2 units on Sabres.
  2. For years at work this was the Thursday when we had a building wide Christmas celebration. Not next week because many people take vacation near the end of the week. Everyone would bring in breakfast or lunch food, and you'd walk around to the different departments sampling it. I would bring in a crock pot of homemade chili. Any leftovers would be put out tomorrow to finish. We have new management this year. So now the celebration has been changed to Friday from 11:30-12:30 in a large conference room in another building across the parking lot. with box lunches provided. Most people including myself are not bringing in food to carry across the parking lot for a 1 hour gathering.
  3. Down to 1395.
  4. Lehner in goal, 2 units on LA.
  5. Down to 1635. I might start betting based on who's in goal for Buffalo. They don't play as well in front of Lehner than Nillson.
  6. Kulikov and Gorges are back. Guhle sent back to junior, and Falk to Amerks. 2 units on Buffalo.
  7. I grew up during the Johnny Carson show era, so many of my favorites are from that era; Rodney Dangerfield, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Joan Rivers, Buddy Hackett, and Don Rickles. Some of the more contemporary, living and dead are: Mitch Hedberg, Greg Giraldo, Louis CK, George Lopez, Louis Black, the Roastmaster General Jeffrey Ross, and even Jackie Martling. And if you remember the old Carvel commericals, listen to Patton Oswalt's routine about Tom Carvel.
  8. Down to 1835.
  9. 32 in Syracuse and the snow is currently falling.
  10. At 1960, 1 unit on Edmonton. Too much speed for a tired and depleted defense.
  11. At 2160, 2 units on Buffalo. I thought of doing more, but I'm worried that the Sabres are down to one good D pairing. And God forbid it goes to a shootout with Lehner in goal.
  12. It was the Soviet Wings. I have this pennant.
  13. I saw Perreault play. It's hard to compare because the game is so different. Back then there was more interference and the red line required more short passes between zones. I think there was a bigger difference between Perreault and other players with their relative speed. He would pick up the puck in the Sabres zone and go end to end past the other team. He was at his best when going full speed. I think Eichel has a better shot and can create more offense while standing still given his puckhandling skills. And as with most modern players, Eichel is in better shape compared to players like Perreault who would smoke between periods. But Perreault would create the same type of excitement whenever he started a rush down the ice.
  14. Given that the difference in the recorded votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were less than 1%, it's perfectly reasonable and allowed for a recount to occur regardless of how the votes were recorded. Today's totals, Clinton 65,178,687 Trump 62,633,870, a popular vote lead of 2,544,817 for Clinton.

  15. @paulkrugman Trump would have to make one Carrier-sized deal a week for 30 years to save as many jobs as Obama's auto bailout. In response to a CNBC report that Carrier will receive "new inducements" from Indiana, trade attorney Scott Lincicome, an adjunct scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute, criticized the deal. "'New inducements'" = Subsidies," Lincicome wrote, adding "CONGRATULATIONS INDIANA TAXPAYERS! YOU INVOLUNTARILY BOUGHT AN INEFFICIENT AC FACTORY." And there it is. "New inducements" = Subsidies. Spearheaded by fmr. Indiana Governor Pence. #draintheswamp https://t.co/ecJMtSssO9 — Scott Lincicome (@scottlincicome) November 30, 2016 Justin Wolfers, a professor of economics at the University of Michigan, commented that the deal could set a troubling precedent. "Every savvy CEO will now threaten to ship jobs to Mexico, and demand a payment to stay," Wolfers wrote on Twitter, adding "great economic policy." http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/29/news/economy/trump-carrier-deal/index.html
  16. At some point people need to admit their getting older and put away the Karma Sutra books.
  17. Or when the crowd at Trump rallies would shout, 'USA, USA', to drown out protesters or support Trump's statements, because only their view of the USA is valid and only they are patriotic.
  18. Up to 2160.
  19. So again you missed the fact that she voted against a flag burning bill the next year. God forbid that elected officials change their positions to the wishes of their constituents. But regardless, it's 11 years later and the presumptive president elect wants to disregard the Constitution and take citizenship away from flag burners. And it's all an effort to distract from his conflicts of interest and his awful cabinet choices.
  20. I guess you missed the 11 years ago part. In your world people aren't allowed to change their views. She also supported Goldwater. How far should we go back?
  21. And 11 years ago Trump was pro-choice. What's it got to do with their views today. People who have grievances against the policies of the government burn the flag to show their opposition. It's not dumb, it's a protest. Better than shooting guns.
  22. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump only serves one term and lets Pence / Haley run in 2020.
  23. At 2020, 1 unit on Sabres.
  24. I'm not sure if he's crazy like a fox or just crazy. This twitter stuff distracts people from focusing on his business conflict of interests and his horrible cabinet picks.
