OT: Hurricanes Lounge XXII: Wisdom Teeth Removal edition

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I'm getting married in November. I think the bill for the tux rentals came out to about $180 each, but only two of the groomsmen are my friends. It's in NJ, where she's originally from. I don't have five friends that I felt good about imposing on for almost $500 each after tux, travel, hotels, and meals, plus vacation time off work, so the other three are her brothers and cousin. I like them all well enough, so that arrangement doesn't bother me at all.

I think I'm going to slip some gift cards into the groomsmen gifts for my friends and tell them to keep it a secret. I think her family is helping with the others anyway since two of them are in college and the other is flying in from CA.

Don't you work from home as a hockey writer?

Two years ago yeah until I realized that a lot of people around me were kinda really unlikeable and that content became less important than distribution. There are others but those are the two main reasons I gave that up. Plus I've got something much better going on these days that doesn't turn a hobby into work.

So you've done it...you've turned work into work.

Late to the explanation party, although it looked like a hoot.

C = Car. X = Donkey. 1st column = your pick.
Cxx
xCx
xxC

After elimination, the three choices are now:

Cx
xC
xC

Your pick has the car 1 time. The other option has it 2 times.


---------

Contrast with Deal or no Deal. (with 3 cases)
Mxx
xMx
xxM

Remaining possibilities after a case is revealed:
Mx
xM
xx

If we learn the revealed case wasn't the Million, that leaves

Mx
xM

So in that scenario, it is in fact 50/50, and there is no need to change cases.

Accurate map of NJ.

Pretty much Alabama

Worst than Detroit

^"Where they filmed Clerks"

Can confirm.

Pretty much Alabama

Can confirm.

Worst than Detroit

Can confirm. Speaking from experience: if you make a wrong turn off 676 into this area at 1 am, you're gonna have a bad time.


Can also confirm the following:

Happy White Families
Huge Houses and Country Clubs
Gaudy Summer Homes
Sad Black People and Misguided Tourists
Farms and Army Bases
Executives Living in Mansions Driving Mercedes-Benzes

lol blue jays

too funny

So, shot in the dark:

Anyone know where I could find another T-shirt like this? Obviously, being my two favorite teams, the Helskini premiere in 2010 was a big deal for me and I grabbed this shirt at the time. But it's starting to look a little ragged and holes are beginning to appear, so I'd like to try and grab a new one.

But being a couple years old and a rather minor event for the NHL, I'm not sure where to begin looking.

Best thing I can come up w/ would be eBay or possibly Amazon.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

EBay had some things from those NHL Priemere games, but they were usually pucks or they weren't the right teams (Boston in Prague, for example.) Haven't tried Amazon, but I'm thinking this is such a niche item, I'm not sure it'll be there anyway.

I might take it to The Eye and see if I can find some info there.

what a shock

ra dickey was terrible but this time he didn't get bailed out

On another note I can't believe that has been 5 years already.

Hutchinson is the terrible one, and with Stroman back, he's been banished forevermore from the starting rotation (or at least until Price leaves via FA). RA Dickey has been pretty good for the last two months or so.

Don't mind him. He fixates on something and never lets it go.

yeah he is being a racist

What the hell?

She was released from custody without charges pending the results of blood analysis but was expected to face charges of DUI causing injuries, possession of a stolen car and driving without a license, said CHP Sgt. Armando Perdomo.

CHP officers determined Lacey was heavily under the influence of an unknown drug, Perdomo said. She offered no explanation for her behavior.

“She was unable to clarify a statement because she was so intoxicated,” the sergeant said.

Drunk woman stole car, decided to abandon it GTA style and lose her stars.
