NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE FOUR! Part Three!

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Welp. Just going to stay off of eBay the rest of the day to not tempt myself. I was too young back then and the internet was still too new when it came to commerce to get one back then. I did have some good ones though but I don't think they're still around.

Spoiler

Geno Breaker, Berserk Fury, Liger Zero, Death Stinger, etc

I just created a hologram of a rookie Uranosaurus in my mind which I will let you have, after the family discount, for only $27,999.

I want to just make my next pick as quickly as possible to get out of this thread because it is making me so hungry for these amazing pasta dishes.

"For our mythological figure, the Tampa Bay FireSticks are pleased to announce the establishment of a strategic partnership with Poseidon (Neptune), god of the ocean. With the proximity of our location to ocean water that is notorious for mega-hurricanes -- and with other franchise owners trying to meddle with tides and the like -- we are reassured with the knowledge that the ruler of these waters has our back.

"As for the ridiculous assertion that there is any dependency or fealty towards any Titans affiliated with other franchises, Poseidon's willing collaboration with his brothers in patricide showed that blood is not necessarily thicker than water."

Hey, it is the middle of the day and @Rebels57 is up. How advantageous.

Son of a bitch. There goes the god of disasters off of the board. Plan B.

 

[Rebels57]

Nothing serious, just everyone in here being spite-deficient, despite all of my educational talks on the topic.

I like spite but I still don't understand what you're talking about and if it in any way relates to Anthony Bourdain lol.

Anywho, picks incoming lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I just did my writeup, so I'm guaranteed to get sniped, right? Where can I bet on this?

 

[Rebels57]

Although I am a proud Italian and basically love every type of Italian pasta dish, i'm going in a different direction for the PORTLAND FOG.

SPICY THAI DRUNKEN NOODLES - I order them at least once a month. I f***ing love them. Flat noodles mixed with a savory, spicy sauce, a variety of vegetables (red pepper most importantly), thai basil, and your choice of protein.

2nd pick to follow..

Motherf***er! Sniped back to f***ing back! I hate you all.

I promise I won't steal you're next pick if you can get me an i7-9700 and a matching ATX mobo.

I'm here for the spite.

What are 9700s going for? Off-hand I'm going to guess it's close in price to a 5600x, in which case that's what you want. If it's much cheaper, that could be a different story.

I hereby regret what I ate for lunch ... and all that I will eat for the foreseeable future. That looks delicious!

about $80 bucks cheaper.

Here's a tip when it comes to Thai food, Bern - with the exception of the soups, all Thai food is always improved with a fried egg on top (when they don't add it themselves). I'm no Anthony Bourdain, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so you can trust me.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Fair enough. The embargo on the 11700 lifts on March 30th, so in a couple of weeks I'm going to guess you can get a 10700 for roughly the same price as a 9700 right now.

It's a very good time to buy an AMD CPU. I would wait the 2 weeks or so to price out anything from Intel with the new generation coming.

Huh. Looks like a 10700 is about the same price as the 5600x.

Why is my 6-year old GPU still around $250??

These were literally going to be my next 2 picks, in that order. Devastating. Just a total disaster.

How fitting.

"To add to the culinary delights of this exercise, the Tampa Bay FireSticks will choose something with much more to offer in taste than its simple presentation suggests. Penne arrabiata can be served with simply the spicy sauce ...

"... or made even more delicious with the addition of ingredients such as Italian sausage, peppers, and cheese. No matter the garnishes, the arrabiataer, the better."

Back to @JojoTheWhale.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I have Jojo's pick.


"All M.A.D. Cats season ticket holders will be eligible to purchase ultra exclusive memberships to the finest nightlife the world has to offer, the Dionysian Mysteries. Every aspect of these social gatherings will be designed by none other than the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking, wine, fertility, orchards, fruit, vegetation, pleasure, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity, and theatre himself, Dionysus/Bacchus.

An excerpt from a description of his portrayals:

'God of the stranger, the Other and religious ecstasy, Dionysus travels the countryside with his* consort Ariadne, followed by a continuous rolling orgy of nymphs, satires and mortal women. Called Maenads, these women gave up their families and positions in order to follow him, surrendering themselves fully to that animal state the ancient Greeks believed all women possessed. Armed with thyrsi, giant fennel staves, these women were drunk, sexually aggressive and, when sufficiently roused, liable to rip apart and eat anything that crossed their paths, from lions to their own sons. Failure to offer him worship and appropriate respect would bring him to your town, at best to lure the women away as Maenads, at worst to turn them loose on the men.'


Going to a Flyers game would undoubtedly be safer, but going to a M.A.D. Cats game will never be boring.

@Hollywood Couturier I hope this one's a dinosaur."

In recent years I almost always sprinkle some crushed red pepper on my pasta just to give that little kick. It's the way.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Pick will be coming shortly.
