After writing that, I remembered that felt the same way, and that I'm not sure I could anything useful with a transistor without a lot of review and smoke. Maybe I should take EE off my resume. :)

I forgot how many Guy brothers and cousins there are in the NHL; the Sutters, Millers, and Staals have nothing on them.

I think he said "as involved". I'm sure he signed off on it, and probably interviewed Dan. I'd guess XGMTM said something like, "Well, Babcock screwed us. I like DB as my next choice." TP: "OK, go get him."

But Not Out

Old Sugar Packets, Top Shelf Oats, and What the Hecht? are my top three.

When my parents were dating, my GrandmaPie made cookies and accidentally added a cup of salt instead of sugar. My mom managed to eat one with a straight face before someone else tried one and spit it out. They threw them out in the yard but even the birds wouldn't touch them. :) Complaint: It's all work, all the time.

I have a tough time placing this one, strangely. Pommer's OT on Emery I remember exactly, Max's goal against the Rangers, yes, but this one I can't remember.

PNP and NPN tranistors are interchangeable.

FWIW, the art guy over at Penny Arcade was signing the praises of the MS Surface a few years ago.

Nice read, thanks. Hey PA, did you see this part? Might want to put a tarp down before your head explodes. :) (I kid, I kid)

It's probably not possible as images in PDFs are just bitmaps. Have the sender scan the pornography in higher quality mode to start.

Bogo and a 5th for Arizona's 2nd round pick.

BTW, I'm pretty sure it's not the best thing this millennium, I listened to it yesterday and it's not bad. Apparently, yesterday was "listen to metal bands for the first time day" thanks to you; after EW, I tried out some Mastodon but I didn't make it through the Something of Sand album before switching to my own personal "Album I own but underrate", Overkill's Horrorscope. The cover of Frankenstein may be one of my top-10 covers of all time.

That's gold.

Hall is good; I bet he'd look a lot better on a decent team. He hasn't played on a team with more than 70 (!) points for the 5 seasons he's been in the NHL.

Hey, I admitted I could be wrong. The sciencey part of me knows that you find facts by changing one variable and seeing what happens. My hunch (hope?) is the Sabres have changed a significant factor. I'm perfectly prepared to say Bogo is terrible if he doesn't improve next season (whether in Buffalo or Vegas).

Maybe he's a turnover machine in his own end because A> the nearest forward to pass to is 60 feet away and/or B> he's trying to remember what's on whiteboard #6 to determine what he's supposed to do now. I have a tough time with *two* formerly OK to good D (Bogo and Kulikov) suddenly drop off a cliff in the same year on the same team. I may well be wrong, but I wouldn't mind seeing them with a different coach.

I assume those words mean something. ;)

Seriously, I have a hard time believing Bogo is as bad as he showed this year. I honestly believe the system emphasized his weak points and subdued his good attributes. I'm not saying he's *good*, just not that bad.

Um, HHDCRGDDB.

I think that's too far. You're going from #6 (pretty sure NHL player) to 50/50 at best for each. Sure, odds are you'll get one player out of that, but I'd rather have the guy that goes #6 than take the chance you end up with two. #6 to #8 might make sense. #31 to a couple-three later 2nd and high 3rds, maybe.

Mike Rowe was great on QVC. I agree to a degree with Mike Rowe on things (like too many people go to college with no plan and end up with jobs that don't (or shouldn't) require a degree), but otherwise he's hit or miss. One point in his favor is the hilarity of posts on FB about how "Mike Rowe tells liberals what for" and "Mike Rowe blasts Republicans on jobs", sometimes for the same post by him.

Doesn't Risto play on the right side? He's been OK, I don't think you switch sides on him for Brodin.

Could be as simple as, "Hey Chris, the Sabres are asking to interview you for GM. You interested?" Some combination of "no, screw Buffalo" "not ready" and "I want to make the Rangers a dynasty!" "OK, Chris, we'll just deny the request. We see big things for you here anyway!"
