My guess would be that what was a couple page romantic anecdote in the book became a major part of the movie. Gotta give the average[0] girls that get forced to watch the movie something. It's like that one scene in Titanic in reverse. [0] As opposed to the hockey-loving ladies of Sabrespace!

I work for a gov't contractor. Luckily, I don't work directly for a program so I'm still working. There are fewer cars in the parking lot the last couple weeks, though. If this were to drag on funding for my department would eventually be cut (to save the fat cats).

OFF TOPIC Will the Bills and Sabres Shuffle Out of Buffalo?

Make it dome, downtown, designed for mixed football/hockey use. :) -
I thought the movie was amusing, even if it kinda followed the romantic comedy blueprint.
-
Ah. Well I'm actually working my way thru "The Vicomte de Braglonne" right now. It's a continuation of the Three Musketeers story, which will end with The Man in the Iron Mask. I can't say I particularly recommend this book, but the series isn't bad.

Until you don't clean up! :)

Woo! Although I'd love see them take all those picks and put them directly into the AHL. They might as well learn the pro game right away. ;)
-
If the Sabres come in dead last, the worst they can do is 2nd overall.

At $860, $150 on Isles.

Well, yeah. But that's the same thing some people will say about Yak. think of it this way, would you trade a somewhat struggling 1st-overall for a UFA goaltender and struggling defenceman (Myers)? I say: maybe. I still have hope that rookie-Myers is still in there somewhere, and it'd suck to see him filled out in the 2017 SCF vs. Edmonton.

I think I'm at 860, right? (660, bet 480 on Chicago).

480 on Chicago. I think I'm at 660.

I read this on vacation earlier this year, it worked for me: http://www.amazon.com/Reamde-A-Novel-Neal-Stephenson/dp/0062191497/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381610583&sr=8-1&keywords=reamde

Yeah, I'm pretty going all in on Chicago this time around. Why not?
-
I'm 100% certain that the Sabres aren't losing tonight! Woo! Tomorrow, not so sure.

An lapsed aquaintance/friend of mine passed away. I hadn't talked to him in many years, and we weren't particularily good friends, but it's still odd to think of a peer up and dying. He was 38, heart attack (although not in bad shape or anything). The worst possible part of it is his first child (a son) was born a week ago. Jeebus.

I think your (advanced) statistics are a bit off. 99.9% of the people bitching about Darcy think he's not. He's generally well-regarded around the league. Personally, I could take or leave him, and am sliding towards leave.

Is Botswana the one where Jeremy's hood is burning in a little spot and he turns to see if it's a death ray from space? That cracks me up every time I see it.

True, but in England (which I think we're talking about), it's illegal to have the stamp and line on a piece of glassware that isn't the right measure. I'm guessing they have an undercover testing group that check up, much like we have people that go measure how much gas is a gallon here.

My wife actually likes the show because they actually try with the camera work. It's very well produced. And it's amusing.
-
It was last time I was there (2008). There's a stamp on the glass and it's illegal to fill it to less than that line. Seems like that's not as true as it once was though. Canada has a law as well, but it's not enforced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pint_glass

There's a Patrick Roy goal like that, but I can't find it on Youtube. Skates over to the side and it bounces off his pad and in.

At 900, 240 on Buffalo. They gotta win some time.
-
OK, that works. 200 on Buffalo.
