OT: The Thread About Nothing

[Darkauron]

No you didn't.

Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says! (HF could take this advice )

 

[My3Sons]

But I came here for an argument!!

I would think that by now you know NJ Devils hf subsection is abuse.

Only had a short time out west this time, had to come back for unforseen obligations. But an interesting thing happened over a few bourbons... I was offered a job in Utah. I thought it was nothing more than good time whiskey talk until I got a call today to do a Skype interview this week. I told the guy I can't leave my company and that I am in the "end game" of my career now. He said let's just talk and see where it goes from there and I will. I know I couldn't give 100% to new endeavor at this stage but it was certainly flattering.

But what I learned over the last few years is that fly fishing is the new golf in terms of business and networking.

Learn to tie a good fly and drink everyone under the table while still maintaining some semblance of decorum...that is my commencement advice.

Two weeks until the first football practice of the 2018 season. I can't wait to start coaching again

 

[New Jersey]

pick-up trucks are unnecessarily massive nowadays. i miss the ford ranger (i know it's coming back but it'll be bigger and expensive) and chevy s-10.

if/when i need something to go to home depot in when i'm a home owner someday i'm gonna import one of these from japan.

That vehicle reminds me of Rampage

Godzilla would definitely eat that car

Yeah, it's mostly just a desire to have a second collector car with a four figure price tag that looks totally ridiculous in a right-hand traffic world, but actually would serve some utility instead of being something to just Sunday drive to brunch in.

I'm a big fan of Japanese cars, if that wasn't implied. I would totally get QQ plates for it, too. $44 up front for the plates, registration renewal every three years is free, eligible for collector car insurance.

the van body style is some next-level "this car is not american" shit

Two-a-days are no longer allowed. Not sure if that is at a national level or just in NJ. I believe the NCAA doesn't allow two-a-days anymore either.

They sucked as a player, but they are so helpful for coaches. You can get so much work in

Wow! I can't believe they don't do that anymore... In August we used to do "camp" for 3 days where we all slept in the gymnasium of the H.S to open the year. It was triple sessions. Morning then break, mid day timed 1 mile run, lunch, nap then afternoon session for 3 days.

 

[Jersey Man]

Just booked a trip to LA while the Devils will be in town in December. Starting a bucket list goal of seeing the Devils play against every team on the road. So far have down - Rangers, Capitals, Avalanche, Canadiens (2019).

Hoping to catch an Islanders game at Barclays but in no rush and rather wait until Belmont at this point lol

Barclays is fun because the last two times we played there it almost felt like Newark.

Nashville was a fun, easy trip. We are looking at Boston this season possibly, though I was pushing for Vancouver

Wow that just sounds awful. I'm fine without double sessions as long as there is an extra week of practice coming back.

I was out of the sport for a while and finally got back into it a few years back and I'm so glad I did. Really helped me transition coming back home from college. I just wish I played college ball

Sounds exactly like what I need right now. Seriously.

is it masochistic to enjoy the old hook scraper whatcha-ma-call-it part of the dental cleaning?

i had one yesterday and it was fire.

I live ten minutes away from it, but I'm so lazy about going. Maybe this year will be the year.

It's probably better to err on the side of safety though.

You should also look into the Devils' game at the renovated Coliseum in January. The Islanders will be playing everyone in the Metro [except the Rags ] there at least once in the latter half of the season. I'm sure tickets will be at a premium but seeing as this will be one of the final opportunities to watch an NHL game in that barn as an opposing fan, I'm willing to shell out.

I'm definitely planning to go to one. The Colliseum is about 10 minutes away from me. I can uber there and it would probably cost me less than parking.
