GDT: Game 64 - San Jose Sharks @ Winnipeg Jets - Monday, March 6th, 2023 - 6:30pm CST - Sportsnet One - CJOB/Power 97

My clubbing days are <<drags out pair of large binos to check>> rapidly approaching the realm of my social hinterland. I mean, if the clubbed denizens served a nice bergamot extraction, and if the bouncers let me bring a book or two inside, and if they offered up some grape jello, I might be coerced...

At least you had clubbing days. In my youth, I didn't go out clubbing. Last thing anyone would have wanted to see was an overweight 20-something in one of those places

(Unless you count the Pal as clubbing, in which case I went there once because of a friend, kind of a disaster)

I was going to try asking for a poem about Mr. T fighting a shark, but I have to create an account?

So I remembered from yester-year Eliza, the 1960s chat AI. So I decided to ask her.

And there ya go folks.

It's been absolutely a blast reminding these young kids today about Eliza. In fact, I still have upstairs one of those old "type in your own video game" books, and Eliza is one of the projects. I suspect for a midlife crisis I'm gonna port them over to something that's good with a terminal like Python and see 'em one more time.

As always, thanks! It is much appreciated!

 

[AlphaLackey]

@macmaroon buddy you absolutely nailed it again. I love me a litany of facts and oddities and you put them together like a pro. I'd only disagree with the referee in the lifesized Monopoly trained to make sure "you have fun", as that is not the goal of Monopoly and in fact is basically impossible just by the game design. Ren & Stimpy parodied it with "Monotony" for a good reason.

Don't worry, the Kanada guy is the picture of discretion and probably won't post the pictures here.

Seriously though, how did your forced night on the town turn out and how small was that dress anyway?

It went far better than expected, given my mood going into it. (And having two of our posse "fancy up" my hair beforehand didn't improve my attitude.)

The first place was nice but a bit dead. The second place was fabulous and turned my mood around (but, seriously guys, how much do you think a girl wants to drink?). The third club was too dangerous and we stayed maybe 90 seconds. The fourth club was really great and we had a terrific time, plus we lost half of our foursome who thought they'd try their luck at hooking up. We left about 1 ayem and I had only a tiny hangover the next morning.

How small was the dress? I don't know, but definitely too short and too low. The donor is maybe 5'4" and small busted. I'm five eight and a full B. The result was way more slutty than I would've liked but someone pointed out that I spend half my life in a sweatsuit which has warped my fashion sense. And it was a strange blue which, until today, I didn't connect with the Sharks but was very similar.

Of course, there was no stick-chomping logo on the front.

Glad to hear that Dubois is back and I'm trying not to be apprehensive about Rittich. I know little about line-ups and even less about coaching but if the team comes out fired up and improves their defence a little bit, I think we're going to take this one big time.

C'mon, you gotta know I'm the biggest snoop/gossip in here. What happened at the lamented Palomino?

It's nice to know that it's not only my life that you like to snoop in.

Haha, less interesting than you could really imagine.

It was my friend's birthday, and she told me she was getting together with her friends at the Pal, and persuaded me to go. I wasn't very sociable around people I didn't know, but she insisted until I let up.

So the following Saturday, I got dressed up, and headed my way there. She told me they'd be there at 8:00, and I got there a little after 8:00, and it was quite busy (and bloody loud - like I said, I am not really into that scene).

So I buy a beer and hang out, looking around for my friend and her entourage. Time keeps passing, and no sign of her. Waited an hour and a half with no visual sighting.

I think my constant looking around made some of the nearby ladies uncomfortable (?), so they kinda backed off. I thought I had been the target of a practical joke. So I left and went home. Only had a couple of beers (it was way to pricey for me to drink more than that, as I wasn't rolling in dough ).

A few days later I got a text from my friend asking why I didn't show up. Apparently they got there around 10:00-10:30. Pffft.

It's nice to know that it's not only my life that you like to snoop in.

Well, to be fair, you're certainly more interesting than most of us, so you can't really blame him

 

[jetsforever]

Live up-close look at Timo Meier.... Oh wait.

this team is Erik Karlsson and that's it. +29 points on the 2nd Sharks player, as a Dman? ridiculous.

the Jets should win pretty convincingly. hoping Saturday's break-out in goals continues. it really should vs the Shark's league-worst goaltending.

Looks like a real roster again!

If friends told me they'd be there at 8 and then showed at 10, I'd expect an apology.

And then I'd get new friends.

(but, seriously guys, how much do you think a girl wants to drink?)

In my youth, I might have said "until I start looking like a good idea" but that might be at the point of alcohol poisoning

 

[Stumbledore]

The third club was too dangerous and we stayed maybe 90 seconds. The fourth club was

Too dangerous?

You mean it took only 90 seconds to recognize Kanadalalinen in his tuxedo and nursing a vodka martini, shaken not stirred?

Ya that @kanadalainen likes to party.

 

[Jets 31]

I like our lines tonight, if the Dubois, Ehlers and Wheeler line isn't going i would slide either Namestnikov or Barron up and Wheeler down to the 3rd.

 

[voyageur]

Niedrreiter. 4-2. Jets.

LOL!

I'm sure you look fine but my thinking you might be a good idea has more to do with how long my dry spell has been and how evolved you act towards me rather than your appearance. It's NEVER related to my level of buzz. What I alluded to in my terse summary was sipping a drink, having a second drink placed in front of me, and a boy putting a third drink down for me. Big mistake.

Too dangerous for my compromised hearing.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

Enjoy the game folks, I'll be on Waikiki Beach in about 30 minutes. We need to build some momentum after beating the Edmonton McDavid's the other night.

Right, sorry, I forgot about that.

I wouldn't be buying you drinks, we would be too busy dancing. The Dude likes to dance.

 

[Inanna]

Right, sorry, I forgot about that.

So did my "hair-maidens" before we headed out that night.

They were standing on either side of me and recreating some classic scene from Cinderella, brushing an upsweep, and each of them wound up holding an expensive Oticon and looking embarassed.

Look, this is fun but I'm trying to do some writing here so I'll logoff now and maybe check in again when I'm "home".

Bastard. And agreed.

Okay, now I hate you.

And what girl would pass up a chance to dance with such a sexy tool belt ?

Good to know!

And yeah, that's pretty excessive. Also no imagination - if you want to get a pretty ladies attention, something more original than buying a drink has got to be used
