I tried War and Peace at a time where I couldn't devote any regular time to reading. After about 100 pages and 200 characters known by 500 names, I gave up.

If it did, we wouldn't hear it. Which would, in general, be nice.

Poor you, you missed some good stuff. ;-)

See, I just thought that they assigned him to the AHL a bunch of times to send a message.

Hahaha. Did they record the phone call?

Nice. Might stop at Victory or Station Taproom (a great local beer and fancy food pub nearby) in a bit. If not, I have some Hop Rod Rye, Yakima Glory, Pennsylvania Pale Ale, and Troegs Java Head in the fridge.

Yakima Glory. Evil beer. Malty enough that the big hops aren't overwhelming, and it completely hides the 8.5% so it's really easy to drink a bunch of. Done some really stupid things drinking this stuff. But I keep doing it. :)

First: congrats! Ssecond: twice as much? Ours are 100:1, but mine was really cheap (tungsten carbide FTW).

You probably missed your best shot, which would have been a St. Patrick's Day parade/party. I'm here all week, folks. That's a good beer, but trying to kill a keg of it would be rather brutal.

I'm jealous, I'm working on the couch. It's not really comfortable to type for long periods lying down.

I just skip pants altogether.

For the first time in a week, I managed to sleep until it was actually light outside. My sleep schedule is messed up, I'm (barely) to young to be falling asleep at 9pm every night.

Maybe it was before your time here (man do I sound old), but there were jokes/conspiracy theories about Chz's real identity.

There's already two polls and a thread or two for this. :(

Since this doesn't fit anywhere: Jay McKee ‏@JayMcKee74 11h Getting together with old teammate and great friend @jasondawe43 for a few cold ones. Dawsy started my nickname in 1996, -Cheeze- #cheesykid The pieces are all falling into place.

Who are the Sounders? But, a Seattle NHL team have a natural rivalry with the 'Nucks, the question will be how many Vancouver folks come down when the Canucks are in town.

And I know I've seen people in threads the last few days doing the same to RR.

They should have gone with the bacon logo.

Private Cloud seems like an much more interesting idea for larger businesses. Public cloud is a bit unnerving, to be sure.

Let's see if I can stay awake through the entire game, unlike Tampa Bay.

The cloud can be fun, but the stakes are huge if there's issues. Don't envy you, man. My sleep schedule is still all messed up from Thailand. try as I might, I can barely keep my eyes open past 9PM and I wake up at 4AM every day. I'd have thought it would slowly slide back to normal but it's been a week now and no change. Grr.

I wonder why they closed the thread so quickly. They were still in the couple word shock posts, I was hoping for the multi-paragraph rants and crying.

Good call, Miller has 0 SOG for the season. He's on my list too!

That's way cooler than the bottle of ###### Brew I got from a friend yesterday!

RFAs: make an offer to Hodgson and Weber, maybe Enroth and and maybe maybe Flynn if it's less than $1.5M. UFAs: Maybe Regher and Scott. Woudln't cry if all the UFAs left. Others: Keep Kaleta, Ott, and Sekera. Actively shop Stafford. Sekera and Porter shop as part of a package. I don't dislike either of them, but trades need to happen. Huge Contracts: Leino's cap-hit isn't as bad as it would seem at $4.5m. Erhoff is good, Myers has been showing some flashes of hope when he's been paired with the right partner, who is not named Jordan. Big Three: I think those three are somewhat undervalued by many here, but I'd ship any of them for the right return. It kinda hurts to say that, since I like all three of them for what they are: an above average goaltender, and very good 2nd line or decent top line scorers. Pominville is probably the only one that isn't overpaid, but I'm not entirely sure of that. Miller and Vanek are probably making about $1m too much each.
