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

[JojoTheWhale]

There's also the northwest part of the state, with views of the mountains or the gap. Lots of nice places to live in Jersey. It's one of the perks of having a home that I can plop down wherever I want.

On a serious note, I actually live in a suburb. I have nothing against where I live other than the taxes and the fact that it's a suburb - I'd prefer more space between myself and my neighbors and some nicer scenery. But that's the tradeoff I had to make when I ended up doing what I do. I personally can't understand folks who live in cities, but that's because I don't like crowds and noise. But some people do, and that's fine. It's the beauty of having the ability to make our own choices on where we live.

Having the ability to run errands on foot is the best part about city living to me. If it's a nice day, I don't want to be stuck in traffic and miserable. So I found a place that's a city but is only crowded for ~25% of the year because it's what works best for me.

But my SO prefers it away from people too, so we probably will. The debate is just whether we go rural or mountainous. Basically we'll buy something as far out as we can go while still getting good enough internet to work from home. She wants to remodel an old farmhouse.

My wife's work has been hounding her to move to Florida for years now and I keep having to put my foot down. Mostly because I'd melt like a soft serve ice cream cone down there.

Summer here isn’t much different from Jersey cept the nights are warmer and the season runs from April thru October.

Hey I get it, I felt the same when I lived there. But it’s like Stockholm Syndrome, you don’t realize how much better it can be elsewhere until you get out.

It can always get better. I was never coming back from Florence if it wasn't for work, I assure you.

I just can't stand the heat. Loathe it. I love New Orleans but August makes me want to die. I turned down my dream job because I tried to live in Vegas and couldn't. It's just what works for you.

Summer in Thailand is like Spring, Winter, and Fall in Thailand, only moreso. One of the two reasons I left is that I felt like time was passing WAY too fast. When the seasons don't change at all, it's unbelievable how fast time flies. The third reason is that I was sexhausted.

I get the on foot thing. My wife's family lives on a farm and it can be tedious to run errands when town is ~30 minutes away. God forbid I forget something, or be in the middle of making dinner and need one ingredient. It's one thing if it's a spice that I can just sub something else in. It's another completely if we ran out of oil for the pan and I didn't notice. 10 minutes out and back is a lot better than an hour. But a good part of that is having a small kitchen and little pantry space.

Yup, that's what kills Florida and most of the south for me. I love the 60s and low 70s, but once it starts hitting 80 I want out. Tack on any noticeable humidity and I might as well be living anywhere in the world, because I am inside with the AC on.

The print quality is very good. This was the pullover hoodie.

I'm glad you're happier there. Truly. That's not what I'm talking about to be clear.

There's this weird sense of superiority some people have in all directions from NJ, PA, and NY. They're really not very different. Some have more coast or more mountains, but the lifestyle is essentially the same. I understand there are huge tax implications, but that's just numbers. Completely understandable. I don't for the life of me understand why people just decide to be assholes about it.

Please note that I'm probably overly sensitive to this because so often the same people ask if they can stay with me in the summers.

My issues are with the taxes, the gun laws, the drivers, and having to drive a mile further to find a jug handle to make a left.

**************************************************************

When it came time to make our car pick, there was really only one choice...

THE #1 hero car from THE #1 car-related franchise (as was unanimously voted by a panel of judges)

I am, of course, talking about the 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, otherwise known as... Godzilla!

It has style, it has speed, it has history. Just like the Bookworms franchise. A perfect match.

This is great news.

It was alright, I’d get it again. I had to drive into the hood for it.
I had my heart set on crispy chicken but they only have grilled. It was pretty heavy with cilantro. The wontons were the shit tho.

ET TU, STRIIKER?????

Wait, that was in those movies? Seriously? My dad's friend had one of these in the US at the time and he still won't tell me how he managed it. The only info I've been able to find was that Nismo was involved in getting a few cleared.

Cilantro is a big part of a banh mi, but I usually pull some off too. The crispy chicken version isn't traditional, that was just Macona's take on it. Maybe you'll have to bite the bullet and make a trip over to shit hole NJ after all...

Those Skyline GT-Rs are one of my favorite cars of all time. Excellent choice by an excellent GM.

Yuuuuuuuuup. It was in two of the movies.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2nd one)


Fast and Furious (4th one)


And yeah, they're insanely rare in the US and extremely expensive to get one and make it legal.
