  1. Foligno completely launched himself and ended up getting high-sticked.
  2. I’d really need to read the contract. An employer can rescind WARN notice. But what the contract allows is a different matter.
  3. Yeah—that’s right. The camera is on top of the glass.
  4. As a child of the 80s for whom the only conceivable school shooter was a Soviet paratrooper, it is just amazing how far we've descended. We're the frog that got boiled, and we didn't even notice.
  5. Get your ass back to the Tasting Room part of that lounge. It's kind of hidden, so it stays nice and quiet. And it has great views out over the ramp.
  6. There's no question about that. These are bad teams. But we need to be padding the W-L sheet with wins against bad teams, because god knows we're going to take our share of losses to good teams. And it is satisfying to see the Rangers take it to some bad teams like the Royals. So yeah--let's take it to the A's. And for that matter, the Reds after that. Because the Reds are pretty shitty, too.
  7. The Royals? Yeah--I definitely agree. I mean, let's be real fair--we're beating up on a bad team. But let's be equally fair on the other side--last year, we were the bad team that was getting beat up on. I'm still hoping for 82 wins. Anything above that is going to leave me pretty gruntled.
  8. That's valuable information. Perhaps I can leverage that into getting out of Amalfi. As I said, I'd be very happy just staying in Rome the entire week. But if I have to leave Rome, I'd rather take the train up to Bologna for a couple days.
  9. Let me tell you about McCurtain County. That is in the far southeastern corner of Oklahoma--in the bit of Oklahoma often referred to as "Little Dixie." That's a local term of affection, but it's also an accusation. Imagine the worst bits of Oklahoma, and then combine it with the worst bits of Mississippi, and you've got McCurtain County. I'm not the least bit surprised to see this from any number of places. But if you were to ask, "GOLL, let me play you a recording and you guess where this was recorded," southeastern Oklahoma would be pretty fucking high on my list.
  10. Robertson looks like he has feet of stone right now.
  11. They pulled that out from the fire. They were down with less than 100 seconds left when I flipped it back to this game for overtime.
  12. Kaprisov 1-v-1 against Ryan Suter in overtime is the stuff of nightmares.
  13. I love the lack of commercials. Hockey should be like this always.
  14. I’m just glad we’re done with that 3-on-3 bullshit.
  15. Really hard to believe we only have two power plays the way this game has been played.
  16. Yeah—this game sucks. It’s exactly what Minnesota wants: just fucking thug hockey. That’s why they have Reeves and Dumba. They’ll never win a Cup with that, but they’ll make sure the Stars don’t, either.
  17. Goddamn that was dirty. It ought to be a five and a game.
  18. I've been to Pompeii, but Mrs.LL and the kids haven't. Now, I'm a Roman history geek, so of course I loved it. But I think everyone will get a kick out of it, even if they spend less time there than I would if it were just me.
