    Victory has built two new facilities in the last few years, a new restaurant in Kennet Square and the just-opened Parkesburg plant/pub, I'd be surprised if they closed up shop in SE PA. http://www.victorybeer.com/2015/12/tour-victorys-parkesburg-brewing-facility-today-make-stop-new-brewpub/

    I saw a documentary about babies last year and a mom in Africa used a corn cob to clean up the kiddo. If this stretches into the summer it might help.

    It seems to me that being better than six teams, or 20% of the league, is pretty much the definition of mediocre. As in, "barely adequate". Bad, medicore, OK, good, top-shelf, each in six-team blocks.
  4. MattPie
    Yep, figured that out after posting. I'm as bad as the media. :)

    My Nexus 6 (and my wife's Galaxy) preclude me from taking a hard look at this, but from what I saw the coverage map looks like AT&T. That means large swaths of PA where I end up driving and riding are 2G. The web site mentioned two LTE networks, but didn't say which they were. Anyone know who the partners are? EDIT: Nope, Sprint and T-mobile. I'm not sure they'd cover my usage very well.

    Only if you write up a hammered game summary after.

    For some reason, Dennis Leary springs to mind.

    I have a few in a tin somewhere left over from when I used to travel to NYC; the NJ Path ticket machines would give them back as change. I even got a few Susan B Anthony daolars back from those here and there (in the late 90s/early 00s).

    Get Paul Byron in there too!

    There's a reason I don't start GDTs, apparently. :)

    I don't think I've ever started a GDT. Wildcard didn't ask me to, he's got visions of figures, words, and diagrams dancing in his head for mid-terms. And not even good figures or diagrams. Buffalo comes home after a mildly chippy shoot-out win against the Marlies last night, looking to give the Rangers fits and cause Henrick to flip his net for some reason. http://sabres.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2015020993 Odds are Lehner is in net for the back-to-back. Whether the Rangers will go Swede for Swede remains to be saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdGA8wXWPd0

    I'm confused by a couple things in that. Fairly early, the announcer says "player X can't come off the bench or he'll be suspended", while there are 75 guys fighting on the ice. Where did everyone but the initial 12 guys on ice come from? During the penalty announcements, they must have thrown 6 guys out. Do you think Carbonneau got ribbed a bit that he only got 2 minutes for roughing while everyone else got 4, 5, 10, or games? And, none of the teams we consider rivals consider us their main rivals. TOR/MON, BOS/MON, PIT/PHI, NYR/NYI. Maybe Ott'wa does, but I'd guess MON holds that place for them. I had a great conversation with some dude at a party once about Curling (before it was in the olympics) as I used to watch it on CBC on Saturdays. Good times. :)

    This was a snow storm creation a couple years ago, it's certainly not pretty but damn was it good: 7-layer pancake-cake with cream cheese frosting and maple syrup. (Cream cheese frosting is super easy to make if you have a food processor, BTW, just some cream cheese and powdered sugar):

    I've missed this... :)

    Glorious!

    Agreed. If the initial conversation with the agent was was, "we think jamie is worth $4M/yr and someone will pay it" there's not much reason to go further from GMTM's standpoint.

    My first date with my wife was at Pizza Plant (sadly, the location on Main that's now gone) and it worked out that way. I think we sat and ate/drank for 3 hours (the place wasn't busy so we weren't keeping a table occupied). Then took a walk and finally went our separate directions 6 hours after the date started.

    meetup.com doesn't have anything helpful, other than the Northtown LGBQT Women's group at 6PM.

    That's not that bold, they're playing the Sabres with WOR at center.

    I don't think you can discount the narrative about how much people dislike HRC. Modern politics (as TBGED has told us) is about getting people out to the polls. In a normal election year, HRC might not get enough people excited to make the effort to vote to beat out a standard Republican candidate. This year, I think antipathy for HRC might be offset by the number of people that will come out to vote for not-Trump.

    Yep! :) This curmudgeon doesn't hate the sweaters. I wouldn't want my team wearing one, but they're not terrible for an exhibition tournament. I dare say they're even a little bad-ass.

    Are players under 24 allowed on team USA and Canada? (I'm really asking) If not, the split makes some, but not a lot, of sense. Otherwise, I'll revise my statement to "a team of under 24s that weren't good enough to make the national teams doesn't make much sense." :)
  23. MattPie
    I could see doing something like team Europe to bring together the good players from countries that don't have enough to put together a team and be competitive, but I'm not sure I understand team North America, considering it ends up being the "B team" to USA and Canada. I could see USA, CAN, SWE, FIN, RUS, CZE, GER, and ROW (rest of the world) as teams.
  24. MattPie
    That truly is awesome.

    I think I need to take a leave of absense from this place. I hear Scunthrope is nice this time of year.
