Wait, you think Stafford should have kept an A? I'm not trying to flame here, but you might need to step back; you hate everything the Sabres do.

I had just moved to Maryland when the Bills walloped the Redskins many years ago (2002). Stuck a printed Bills logo on my cube wall and let the comments come. :)

We have a pretty Arian looking leadership...

Yeah, so they picked *two* guys that now have leverage. :)

The actress is actually from Vancouver, I believe. Also, Cobie Smulders is *such* a porn name. It's up there with Jorja Fox.

My former beer fridge is out in the garage, but I haven't used it in quite awhile. It's covered with Sabres stickers and magnets, FWIW. It used to live at the end of my couch.

Slow-smoked bacon. Think, slab of bacon in the smoker. OMG (WTFBBQ).

I probably spoke poorly. There's no good reason to have it at home in light of trying to lose weight and drink less. :) There are plenty of good reasons to have beer at home. Working in the garage, for instance.

The first few days are tough, but after a few more I start to lose the craving. I've decided that I'm no longer keeping beer in the house. I'll have some when I'm out for a "special" occaision (like, "It's Thursday!"), but there's no good reason to have it at home.

Mmm, breakfast... http://www.victorybeer.com/ai1ec_event/dirtwolf-release-breakfast-2/?instance_id=168

The more I think about it, it was the wheat, not the darker beer I was thinking about. It was a completely serviceable wheat beer, but I had already had a few others before that I don't have a clear memory of it. I would definately seek out more beers from them. Good to see you, SD. May all the Sabres-Canes games be fun and hard faught... and Canes losses. :)

I had some Hanburg at the Hamburg Octoberfest a week or two ago. Not bad, but nothing that jumped out at me either. They only had one beer of a style I'm not particularly fond of though, so I'd love to try a few of their others.

That's really the only reasonable answer. Stupid F'N NHL.

Beer while mending fences is in PA law. Complaint: already late for work this morning, two seperate random traffic jams slowed me down even more. One was a lane blocked for mowing, the second was an accident in a construction zone. There was an accident in the same area on the other side of the highway, I'm betting one of those was a rubber-neck rear ending.

I don't think you're in the minority, I think a somewhat vocal minority does want him gone. Rickshaw, how about a poll on this post? How about: Gone, Keep, or Keep only if he cleans up. I think he's valuable enough that if he picks his spots (and he seems to have been better about that lately, last game notwithstanding), he has enough speed, hands, and D ability to be worthwhile guy on the 4th line.

Those soft teams will never go anywhere in the playoffs.

I kinda saw that after I posted it. :blush:

You ate my sister! I don't really know where this came from originally, but it's on theregister.co.uk. I'm almost wonder if it's NHL-related, since the rest of the shirt/jersey doesn't seem to bare any resemblence to the Canes.

I wondered about that, thanks!

Yeah, because the coaching staff is reading this thread. :)

I spy... an American flag hung the wrong way. The blue field is always in the top-left corner (and yes, it does seem wrong). The blue field on the bottom right (upside down) is a signal of distress.

Earle's beer is pretty good. On par with most microbrews you run in to. Last year he made the mistake of putting all the high-octane stuff on tap with predictable results.

Oh, Boo! That's the same day my friend is having his party. 4 taps, mostly his own brew, a BBQ truck, and he lets us race dirtbikes on his property.

I did notice that streaming a game and Google video-chat at the same time caused some trouble, FWIW.

I'm wired (100Mbps Ethernet). My FIOS is (I believe) 25/5Mbps, and the stream isn't using all of that 25MBps so unless your Wifi sucks I don't think that'll be an issue. I have streamed over Wifi to my phone with no issues. I believe got a 3MBps stream most of the time last year, which any Wifi should be able to handle. Cable or FIOS should be fine. DSL might be a bit slow, but I don't know what speeds that does now. http://www.nhl.com/ice/gclfaq.htm
