I remember having a laugh. To me Vancouver_2010's ski resort under the sea thread was more epic.

You should give some indication of what you're looking for, fiction/non-fiction, classics or recent, genre, etc etc. There's also the method of reading whether you're looking for a physical copy, digital, or audio book. If you have a device like a kindle or going to use the library - which has physical, digital, and audio books.

Personally I'm good for fantasy, sci-fi, and history books and pretty much use all of the above.

Also, FYI, I don't technically have a hearing problem, but sometimes when there's a lot of noises occurring at the same time, I'll hear 'em as one big jumble. Again it's not that I can't hear, uh because that's false. I can. I just can't distinguish between everything I'm hearing.

Hockey:

THE REAL OGIE! The Life and Legend of Goldie Goldthorpe - Warning, this book is horribly written. The author is a stat nerd and feels the need to inject names and stats pointlessly. But the stories are worth reading.

​

Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas - a well written book about how humans migrated to North America.

Mother and I are quarreling because I can’t keep out of her stuff.

Why not ask where she gets it and buy it yourself? Some of this crap I buy is f***in' pricey but it's for women y'know? It's official. I think $BBWI might be underpriced. Great f***ing products. My skin has never been so resilient, yet silky smooth. It makes it so much easier to take care of dogs. Gotta stay hydrated like a mother with this, though.

E: I do not recommend this lifestyle if you have bad hydration habits. It will f*** you up good.

Which 2 jerseys should I bring on my New York/New Jersey road trip in march? Assume every Canucks jersey is available (because they are). I'm going to the Rangera game and Devils game.

Petey and Miller co-stitched for maximum Stig-ness. If not, just alternate one then the other. I prefer the old style black skate to the new one...personally...then I won't lie even if everyone hates it, my favourite jersey is a Pettersson Sprite. Sprite was my favourite drink as a kid. So everyone can just shut up. Lmao.

I should seriously get like a sprite patch stitched on or something. They'd be an excellent sponsor too if Aquilini wasn't so Aquilini.

I have a Hughes Sprite so I'll bring that one. Probably wear it in New Jersey so I'm not wearing blue in a sea of blue at the Rangers game. Have a Miller skate so I could bring that for the MSG game. The others I'm seriously considering are the Luongo navy orca, John Garrett yellow flying V, or the white Skate Momesso. Although I'm always wary to wear a white jersey to a game because I will inevitably drip mustard on it or something dumb.
