Did you say the same thing about the last Godzilla movie? :) Recently found these, I can't stop watching:

Word. My office used to used to be less than a mile from a Naval Air Station. Didn't get a lot of work done the week of the air show due to looking out the window. Same thing when I was working for a week near the Farnborough Air Show. There were two planes in particular that everyone just stopped what they were doing to watch. The then-brand new A380 (seeing one do controlled stalls at a couple thousand feet was something to behold), and the Su-35. The Su-35 just does things that are unnatural; flat-spins, flying backwards (for short periods), and falling vertically on its tail to name a few. I always felt bad for the plane that came after (Typhoons, maybe) since they seemed so pedestrian.

It only has one role, and that's it. With budgets being what they are, there's a lot of pressure to move to multi-role aircraft. It makes some sense, I'm sure everyone would love to have a sports car for fun, an economy car for long trips, a pickup for hauling, and a big sedan for everything else, but most of us pick a car that's in the middle of all those things and live with the compromise.

Ignore me, I get my power forwards that start with T that fade down the stretch mixed up.

Once! (Thornton). So yeah, we should bet on two of the three to come back.

Not zero, from the wikipedia page: "Four A-10s were shot down during the war, all by surface-to-air missiles. Another three battle-damaged A-10s and OA-10As returned to base but were written off, some sustaining additional damage in crashed landings.[" And another in Iraq later, maybe 5 shot down total? It's tough to tell how accurate the wiki information would be.

Dude, don't mock the yappy dogs. http://www.examiner.com/article/packs-of-feral-chihuahuas-terrorize-arizona-town-animal-control-overwhelmed

I read that as the Carolina guy said it.

The Bruins with Rask/Thomas (until a couple years ago)? Vancouver with Luongo (despite his failures in big games)?

I'm out! Woo! I can stop worrying.

I think you'd get a majority of NHL fans, and maybe a few "outsiders". I mean, curling is pretty popular during the Olympics, but I've *never* seen a mention of the World Championships that happen every year (every other year?). The World Championships start in a month, what country is it hosted in this year? (without looking it up... I had to look it up already to see if there was a curling championship!)

I don't think nearly as many people watch a yearly or less hockey tournament. If they did, I think you'd hear more about the world juniors. Just like bobsledding, luge, curling, it's something that people will watch as framed as part of the Olympics. Tell people there's a hockey tournament in September? Snore. Perhaps there's a 10-year-old asking, "Dad, can we go to a hockey game?". Agreed.

They may have set the roster before they knew if Lucic was playing for Canada.

So is it bad luck to start a GDT over a month ahead? And in this case, is bad luck a win or a loss? (I'm off to start that "GDT: SCF Game 7 Sabres at Phoenix 2020-06-13 at 8PM EDT" thread...)

Not me, but my parents did in the early 70s. My Dad knew someone who let him in, so it was just my mom, him, and my toddler cousin. There's some pictures of it, if I think of it I'll find them next time I'm home.

$520 on Carolina. Olympic hangover for whichever Buffalo goalie starts, and we'll see if I'm out of the game or not! #ThinkTank!

I'm not sure how widespread it is, but there are a bunch of Roller derby events around Philly and Binghamton NY, at least. And Buffalo. http://www.qcrg.net/

In the apartments acrost (:)) from Pyramid mall?

Not when I was that age, but now a days..

Now I know you're lying, what kind of Canadian doesn't get Timmy-Ho's donuts with found money?

I'd bet real money (not my SS bux) that this got out because Twitspace/FacedIn/GooBook and not due to hard-nosed journalism. "Check it out, I'm partying with the Austria Hockey team!"

USA Goalies always let in bad goals. ;)

And Venezuela. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/02/20/280019048/in-venezuela-another-beauty-queens-death-adds-to-anger?utm_content=socialflow&utm_campaign=nprfacebook&utm_source=npr&utm_medium=facebook

There's not many times the Canadian version is cooler.

http://i.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=2478/bio/index.html "Injury woes Though he was expected to compete for the starting job at the 2006 Olympics, a broken thumb sidelined Miller in November 2005. He had begun the 2005-06 season as Buffalo's backup goalie, but quickly earned the top spot. Miller missed more than a month because of the thumb injury, and returned on the day the U.S. team was named, on Dec. 19. Though U.S. officials had made other plans by then, his play earned him the spot on the taxi squad." And this lists Miller as the alternate for 2006. http://proicehockey.about.com/od/international/a/us_olympic_team.htm
