Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 17, 2024, 04:22:54 PMIf you knew this team was winning this game during the second intermission, kudos to you, but feel free to share that prediction in real time next time. Any dope can call people out with the gotchas after the fact.

Hey, I think coggs is playing with you, more than anything else, but every one of us here were ecstatic at game's end. Whether, fan for fan, we're taking tabs on who's predicting what, in the end, who really cares, anyway?

Look, we all process our lack of patience or frustration differently. That we can express it here freely, and can kid each other about it after, doesn't change the fact we all have an underlying respect for each other, if not a kinmanship.

You know, I was all riled up early on about destroying the "Paper Champions" and stirring that thing around. But, as the series went on, I grew to enjoy the fight in Carolina and their clawing their way back into the series. I came to realize this series was the best of the NHL, so far, and everyone outside the fans of both of those teams have have watched and admired the intensity the two teams brought. So, I freed myself from the emotions, as much as I could, and just sat back and appreciated the game and the skill of both teams. The game didn't disappoint and neither did our boys when it counted most.

Now, we can celebrate another milestone as the Rangers get the Panthers in the semifinals. It's an appropriate matchup and one that has been destined since the 4-3 shootout Ranger win.

So now the discussion turns to how this Rangers team is going to win four games against this Panthers team who has the speed, the shooters, the goons and an excellent goalie. This series won't be for the feint of heart! If the Rangers are truly a team of destiny, they'll find a way.

Peace!

Carl engages with fans on Twitter quite often and I suspect his criticism is directed at those folks.  I've read some of those tweets and quite a few have openly expressed a desire for DJ to fail

I still find it odd that a shot that hits the iron is not recorded as an official SOG

Same. I like them. Don't look like every other jersey out there. Maybe they're even competitive

Quote from: ozzie on May 17, 2024, 08:47:10 PMHey that's a valid observation.
It is, but IMO most businesses aren't the type where over working someone on little rest may result in serious injury and then claim employee safety is their #1 goal.

Is there evidence that suggests short weeks are causing more injuries?

I have thought the amount of guys sitting out Thursday games that would have played Sunday would be an interesting data point.

A stunning difference in ROI for the OL.

Terrell Thomas 3rd string?  Wow.

Subject: : Your Annual Dementia Test – for NSW Driver's license from 2024. - All the Socialist Republic States of Australia to follow.

 Your Yearly Dementia Test! (only 4 questions this year)

 This one has some different questions than last year.

Yep, it's that time of year again for us to take our annual senior citizen driving test.

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.

As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert.

If you don't use it, you will lose it !!

The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've answered.

 

Q. 1. What do you put in a toaster?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: 'bread.'       If you said 'toast', just give up now and do something else.

And try not to hurt yourself:

If you said, bread,    go to Question 2.

 

 

 

Q 2. Say 'silk' ten times. Now spell 'silk.'     What do cows drink?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: Cows drink water.      If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.

Your brain is already over-stressed and may even overheat.

Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Women's Weekly or Auto World.

 

However, if you did say 'water', proceed to Question 3.

 

 

Q. 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.

If you said, 'green bricks', why are you still reading this? -  PLEASE, go and lie down !  But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4.

 

 

 

 

 

Q. 4. Please do not use a calculator for this for it would be cheating:

 

You are driving a bus from Jurong to Changi at Bukit Batok, 17 people got on the bus.  At Clementi, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.  At Outram, 2 people get off and 4 get on.  At Marine Parade, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.  And at Eunos, 3 people get off and 5 people get on.  You then arrive at Changi.

Without going back to review,  how old is the bus driver ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud !

 

 

 

Don't you remember your own age?!?!    It was YOU driving the bus!

 

 

 

 



PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!
