Neo Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 It’s nearing dinner time, and I’ve neither been offended nor victimized by anyone today. Further, I’ve not discovered an ulterior motive in anyone’s enterprises. Being a simpleton, I infrequently recognize clues providing insight into nefarious character. Dear God, thank You for my limited capacity. To those exploiting me, just keep it a secret, please. In the meantime, what a gracious gesture by the Pricks. Best wishes to those who choose to attend for whatever reason they find worthy of the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Next time a teacher dies on a school shooting we should have a 10k strong funeral of teachers standing with their students watching the proceedings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 (Can’t help but be dragged in...) you mean you don’t? Not being facetious, there aren’t huge public outpourings of sympathy and solidarity in those kinds of instances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being facetious, there aren’t huge public outpourings of sympathy and solidarity in those kinds of instances? I've never heard of it. But the things I've never heard of could fill many books. So don't take my word for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One free rental is the least Sabres ownership can do. What was he going to say? No? I give him zero credit for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Of course you don’t give him credit. Your outrages are turning into a goulash with this one. We have wealth, class, ownership, private property, reverence for service and, two favorites, MARKETING and PR!

PASabreFan Posted October 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'll take my statement back and give him credit for doing it, because it's more than just opening the doors to a facility that I consider a public space. With a game last night, there was a lot of extra staffing and work needed to get the arena ready. It's costing him money. Trying to get back on topic... last night's attendance was 16,882. If they cap season tickets at 16,000, it's striking to think how few tickets they sold to the general public for this game. Is something afoot here? As Taro noted for the Vancouver game, many folks left a one-goal game with 15 minutes to go. And last night the plug was pulled on the tub with about three minutes to go.

SwampD Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Do we really need the word "conflate?" Not just in this thread, but in life? Isn't it just inherently annoying?

That Aud Smell Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Do we really need the word "conflate?" Not just in this thread, but in life? Isn't it just inherently annoying? It's a word that means something specific. Why jettison it? Were we to do so, I fear we'd needlessly risk conf--. Well, you get the idea.
