(I got your back, PA) I blame the Pegulas.

Giant bridge says Letchworth Upper Falls, but I'm not sure sure that's what you mean. Maybe Niagara? :)

If any thread needs to be turned into a bracket challenge, this is it.

That seems on par for me. I'd guess he didn't mean, "if I play fewer minutes we'd make the playoffs" rather than "I'd play fewer minutes for the good of the team if it meant playoffs".

Yep. I used to live in Coatesville so I saw the diner regularly. I read somewhere the original was sent to Hollywood at some point and there's that cool art-deco one now.

Since this is the awesome thread, I live in the town where parts of The Blob was filmed. Last weekend was Blobfest, where they do this:

I've cut way back in the last month or two. I wasn't a daily drinker, but I probably averaged one beer a day over the course of a month. I realized that when I drank, I felt pretty crappy after (not hungover), and whatever arthritis-like thing that's going on in my feet got worse when I have beer. So I still have one or two on occasion, but haven't had any in the house in awhile.

It's just as (more?) likely he's Joel Armia or Grigorenko and not a late-bloomer.

Cool Hand, Luke.

I'll be honest, I find a lot more uses for the 48" x 96" 40" tall cargo area in my van than I could ever use in the pickup. The day I did need large open space (moved washer, dryer, and outside furniture), I borrowed a flat trailer. I'll never get pickups, I think.

We have an AWD Sienna, which is fine but uninspiring to drive. It truly is as large as a Suburban inside though. The Odyssey was more fun but lower clearance and FWD killed it.

I think we have different ideas of "small camper"; my minivan tows 3500lbs which is enough for small to me. Also, Minivan, the Suburban for people that aren't vain.

This is old (and I think you may have quit), but I have to salute your VI humor, even if you forgot to git push and are a psychopath for keeping user data in /opt. :) :)

Life is great at the Super 8

Krugsie.

I went to High School with that guy, but he spelled it Wayne Gee.

Is that what got the Sabres' offense banned in after January last year? Also, MoJo, JoJo:

It almost surely wasn't purely hockey. It had to be some combination of ROR wanting out (and saying it to JBOT), issues with other players, or some other locker room issue. I like to think it started with the player(s) and the GM/Owner made it happen, but I suppose it could have started at the top too. Who was it that said "if someone doesn't want to play in Buffalo, we'll make it happen?"

No kidding. Before kids, I used to do multiday (like 7-9) solo motorcycle trips. I can't even conceive of a one-day trip now.

:) Jake Elmer was apparently an undrafted free agent, picked up by the Rangers in March: https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/2019/3/15/18266716/report-rangers-to-sign-whl-free-agent-jake-elmer-scouting-report-lethbridge-hurricanes-dylan-cozens

Where did Elmer go in the draft? That guy was all over Cozens' highlight reel.

Speaking of Gold Circle, they should bring back some of the classic board ads, like "Hills" and "Celino, DWYER, and Barnes".

You take electrical and then add vibration and corrosion.

That's fantastic. A friend had an S15 pickup (aka Chevy S10 in GMC clothing). It had weird electrical issues, like the dash lights didn't work and radio cut in and out. The best was the interior light used to come on when you blew the horn.

I heard he says it, "acroast" instead of acrost.
