      I did tell them! But I didn't watch that closely. Kinda assumed two women could manage a single sandwich

      update: went back and got it fixed up. I was nice, they were nice, we all had a good laugh. And it was delicious :) 

  3. Man, Cassels sucks. Too bad for someone who looked so good in his final season of junior.

      That's the problem with over agers... they can show such tantalizing qualities but then you remember that he was playing with and against kids up to 4 years younger then he was and it puts things into perspective.

       

      Really was hoping he'd pan out but I doubt he gets re-signed after this ELC. Best case for him would be to sign elsewhere or Europe to try and salvage his hockey career. Shame. I thought the injury/mono were the only things hurting him but there aren't many excuses for what's going on with him this season.

       

      Of the 2013 draft class, it's looking like only Bo Horvat and Jordan Subban will be NHLers with Horvat being the only impact NHLer of the bunch. With Shinkaruk staying one dimensional in Calgary, Mike Williamson quitting hockey because of injury, Miles Liberati not being signed and struggling to stay in the ECHL, and Anton Cederholm already back in Europe (and likely never coming back)... it goes to show how bad Gillis was at drafting (especially with how well Benning's 2014 draft class is doing) and how lucky the Canucks got with Hutton, Gaunce, Corrado (RIP in Leafs Purgatory), and likely Labate (likely sticks with the big club next year as a 4th liner/13th forward -- especially if another Skille or Megna doesn't pop up) and Tommernes (with another team once he signs back in NA after his standout SHL season).

       

      It's too bad, I was hoping Cassels would turn into something... at least we have Adam Gaudette, William Lockwood, Brett Mackenzie, and Jakub Stukel to look forward to now. In particular, I'm really excited for Gaudette. Kid has bonafide NHLer with 2nd line upside written all over him.

  4. Happy poets day.

      Piss Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday. The English lad at work taught me that one. I need to do more of the former from now on on Friday.

  7. Merry Christmas CDC. If it wasn't for this mass gathering of scrubs, I'd have to find somewhere else to waste away my days.

      Probably Pokemon Go considering how fast it blew up. 

  9. What's with all the liquor stores opening recently? One by my house, on the way to the gym, at the mall, and by Wal-mart. All within a few miles radius. Never mind the two that already existed..

  11. Had a really bad dream. I wanted it to heavily snow so when I woke up that morning, it was 20 degrees out and sunny. Then when I woke up for real, it had barely snowed at all and the grass wasn't even covered. Disappointed twice big time and it wasn't even 6:30.

      Hailing sounds like a lot of commitment though... I don't know if I'm ready for that. 

  16. That moment you bring down the whole company network with an ACL #oops 

  17. Yes! I solved my own blue screen of death out of nowhere this morning with A LOT of swearing and some ol' fashion luck. Well, solved it enough to back up my files.

      Yeah I don't appreciate the 3 hour curve ball but just like the Canucks Rangers game, that's the way she goes.

      I hate that. Some times I can't fall asleep after work so I'm up until 3 or 4 in the morning, then my body is like "okay it's 8:30, GET UP!!!"

      My favouite though is hearing my alarm go off after waking up 3 hours early THEN feeling relaxed enough to fall asleep. What a jip.

  21. Abraham Drinkin. Beer can top hat. "Four score and seven beers ago.."

    That's a genius halloween costume.

      Blame the victim! Why was he just minding his own business? That's asking for a hit-and-run.

      I did as a kid. Apparently it's permanent membership.

  25. When you're at a party and chatting with a chick for 20 minutes then out of the blue she's like, "I'm glad I got a sitter tonight for my three kids, I haven't been out in half a year."
