No one bladed themselves like Dusty. That dude was all in.

Cody get bought out. Vancouver signs him. He and Zack become best friends.

Now that's what I'm talking about. POW! Right in the kisser. I feel better now.

Please. You must tell what you have carbonating. I am usually "chronologically fugged...up" but I still squeeze my brew time in. Do you go all grain? I have a Vagabond gingered ale in carbonation. Should be ready this weekend. It's a recipe from Joy of Homebrewing... It has malt extract in the recipe. I do all grain if I have the time. All grain isn't any better IMO. Its more about bragging rights I guess. Someday I'd love to malt my own grains. If I still have a liver when I retire. I'll malt baby! I've been sitting on a half case of a dark IPA that is fantastic. I'm trying to save it for a family vacation in July. I've been looking for a good light ale recipe that uses extract. Something less hoppy for my mother in law.

If I wasn't such a reformed man I would go on a face punching spree. We have been having water troubles since we built the house. Well driller was an ass. Someone supplied a bottle of Dasani for the water sample test to approve the well. I heard that straight out of one of the contractors employees mouth. After 6 grand worth of water treatment the mud that comes out of the well was still not suitable for drinking. We got ourselves a lawyer who was pretty confident he had a good case. Then he got cancer and passed. Long story short. Officially ran out of water completely the other day. I took a shower in the friggin lightning storm last night. I've had a plumber at the house all day. Probably going to have to install a storage tank in the basement and truck water in. Every. Single. Week. I want to punch a face so badly right now I may just punch my own...

This would be a dream come true for me. Hockey belongs in Quebec City. Les Nordiques augmentera a nouvea!

Borrowed Tin's skates one time and realized Tin was both coming and going. And Tin pronounced his G's like Forrest...

The T Hip are at CMAC in July. I've been a fan for 25 years. I saw Gordie crawling around the stage retreating from the "big fuggin bear". He was a "chimpanzee" at the aud when someone threw their bra onstage. "I remember, I remember buffalo...and it seems to me I remember every single fuggin thing I know!"

Wears the chicken hat backwards on game day.

I don't mean to be a pill but...I don't see bun claiming there is no God. He seems to me to say that he doesn't need God to tell him to be a good man. Morality can come from many influences like parental intervention, societal need, or even rehabilitation. I'm willing to bet that morality(or the perception of it) gave/gives humans an evolutionary edge. If every human in the history of mankind was only out for himself, would we have the society we have today? I don't mean to undermine your idea that society could devolve into chaos. That would be a symptom of over population,to me, more than a sign of human nature.

I wasn't so self aware last year with the ghost pepper. Too many brews make your bladder full and your mind soft. I learned though. Mother in laws rule every where they go. They have always been the boss and aren't going to stop for anyone. Not sure if you're in this scenario. God bless you if you are. FTR I love my mother in law.

Matt seems like a hell of a guy. I hope he has his after hockey plan ready. Seems like I've been screaming "GD Matt F'n Ellis" at my TV for too many years now.

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I fill my fridge with anything "ice". Labatt, Natty, Genny. Also not embarrassed to admit that I'm one of those geeks in the basement, quietly "infusing". Homebrew is rich in the whole B vitamin complex which your body purges during intoxication. I get stupid drunk on my basement brew with no problems tomorrow. They're also F'n delicious. I brew two cases of "premium" for the price of two cases of Natty. Charlie Papazian would be happy to teach anyone how. I like how Jack responds during interviews. Dee and Dum just interviewed pre game. Jack doesn't like their stupid jokes and it shows. Just doesn't even acknowledge that there was an attempt at humor. -------- I'm sure it's just me but damn McDavid looks like baby Lou Ferrigno.

I like this. He will forever be "Squishy Phil" in my little brain now. Being a part of an offseason out of two years of tank I'd use whatever goalies we have on contract. There will be opportunity to trade for someone if it looks like the other pieces are coming together. IMO the size of today's goalies and the amount of padding makes them more of a dime a dozen than any other position.

I agree whole heartedly. I remember the old Kahniakenhaka stories told by the old grandmas. The creator watched the people for the most part. The people lived by the kaianerakowa(Great Law of Peace). The people lived a moral life not because the creator was going to judge them. They lived a moral life because the people relied on them. They were a big part of the community. I guess you'd say that community was the religion. I don't entirely know what I'm driving at here. I guess I would relate it to the message it seems Jesus was getting at(to me)(if he did/does exist). The old grandmas used to say "The best chief is not the one who persuades the people to see his point of view. It is instead the one in whose presence most people find it easiest to arrive at the truth."

Johnson honey-badgered that one. Very nice!

Did I hear DingleDork say "Divine intervention"? Looked like a really nice save to me.

He has cleared waiver once already. I'm guessing he'd clear again. If I were Terry I would keep in the organization and pay him well whether he played, coached or just sat around. That kid has given as much as a guy could give. I wonder also if another NHL squad would change their opinion on him. Does he have value outside of buffalo?
-
If Pat's heart was still hell bent to play hockey and I had TPegs kind of money, I'd give him a big paycheck and a two way contract. Let him mentor some youth in Rochester. He would be a guy you could call up. If you weren't looking to give youth a try out. At the very least he could be our offensive counterpart to Bagnall.(who I also hope see return)

I'm not worried about the shoulder surgery at all. I've had both of mine done and both are back at 100%. It just takes hard work. Potential off I've issue? Meh. Most people grow out of that stuff as they age. Kids fantastic on ice and that's all that matters to me.

Big fat congrats to all of you moving into new homes. The wife and I are three summers into a house we built. Plagued by troubles and misery the whole time. Things are still screwed up. But...You will look at all the things YOU have done. The wildflower meadow you sowed. You'll look over the Bristol valley from your deck as you smoke your man o war down to its stump. You'll be glad you did it! Congrats! It seems natural to me. Holy schinikes! Happy Bday bio! Get yourself a good buzz on!

I chatted with the younger two a bit about whatcha growin? How's the class? The poor older girl never did say a word. She eventually did close her mouth and smile. She even nodded when I wished them good luck. Maybe she's seen Gotham?

He is responsible with puck. Enough grit to bang out a few weeks in the NHL if needed. An easy call up in my mind.

My neighbor has a few 4H classes going on at her property. She is doing a cooking class and thought it would be nice to have a big garden so the kids can grow their own food to cook. I've been taking my tractor, plow and cultivators up for the last 3 weeks and have a pretty nice plot all set for them. I just get home from work so I'm filthy, stinky and tired and there's this knock at the door. I abandon my plan to shower temporarily and answer it. There are three little kids standing there each with something in their hand. They are all deer in the headlights, staring at me. No one says a word. The boy(obviously the youngest of the bunch) finally says "geez Tara!" (She was the oldest and I'm guessing the elected spokesman for the group and is still just staring) "we came to thank you for the garden, mister!" The other two snap out of it and all three give me the hand made cards they brought over. Very cute. Very awesome that there are some kids that can find an interest in something other than a screen. I am proud that I could help them. I wonder if they will bring me some of that food they eventually cook?

Hmmmm. God loves questioning. This strikes me in a particular way. I heard a calling to serve long ago as a boy. I was even voted most likely to become a priest by my parish. I was wild though, man. Friggin wild. I was always devoted and paid close attention to any homily that quoted Jesus. I felt a kinship there. He seemed like the sort that never fell to opinion. I liked that. My wild nature has lead me down some hard paths. I have enough artificial implants to cause any future anthropologist to conclude that the people of our time were nuts. I work in conditions that most people would not be able to handle. I will continue to do so until retirement at which time I will self induce my strife. Someday when my maker feels the time is right I will close my eyes and curl up in that Mighty Hand and bask in the glory of those things I can not now see. I will wipe away my tears of joy after a while and say "Send me back. This time I want it to be harder and more arduous. More pain and suffering please." For now I will continue to serve in this capacity that I have been chosen to serve. That was the calling that I heard as a boy.
