Cheers, Drew, on the thoughtful answer to the affair question. I think most people would just say “screw it, get out of there” but there’s got to be some room for nuance in a difficult situation like Zach is going through. 

Hall was traded before the Oilers made the playoffs.

This is the best book I think I’ve ever read and have recommended it to many people already. If you are interested in changing your habits (read: your life) then this is a must.

I mean, Vick is the only “running” QB to get in trouble with the law, that I can think of.

They’re considering making them mandatory in Edmonton as well which, IMO, would be great because only ~45% of Albertans use winter tires in a province where we have winter driving conditions 3-4 months a year.

Is it available online? I’ve seen several of his recipes for this but I would like to make sure I’m looking at the correct one.

Especially when he was under a year this app was amazing. He would be really crabby one day and we would look at the app and realize he just entered a new leap. It’s actually shocking how accurate it is.

A beauty of a specimen for sale in Ontario, only 25,000km: https://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/toyota/tercel/chatham/ontario/19_10817040_/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&orup=1_15_0&pc=T6X%200N7&sprx=100

I still drive a ‘98 Tercel and can confirm that it is awesome to drive in snow (Edmonton, AB driver). It just kind of gets along anywhere you go with it. 

Just waiting to hear how this idea came from someone far more intelligent than him but that he misrepresented the entire idea. And then to read the originator of this idea mention him by name in a portion of his book properly discussing the concept and pointing out exactly where Gladwell is mistaken.

G&T with 2 dashes of bitters and a splash of lime.

My favourite Sunday question is “Do I shower before or after dinner?” because even though, at that point, with my hair a tangled mess and my forehead shining with oil that only comes with the terrible eating decisions from earlier, it won’t actually make any difference, I can somehow convince (lie to) myself after my…

Costco near me sells entire goats. They’re just hanging there in the freezer section like we’re walking along some middle eastern bazaar. It’s weird.

I get that he takes the fun out of the game and has basically instituted “1984" blandness among the players but this is why Belichick gets the results he does. It is precisely why Chan Jones was traded; because he too often improvised.

I love the way my Tercel’s 13" tires handle the snow. 

Lennox Lewis should be #1 most boring athlete of all time. There are many people that suggest that he forever ruined the heavyweight category because he was just too clinical and strategic. And he also was the least showy a boxer I have ever watched. In his post-boxing career he is intelligent and well-spoken and…

I would suggest it’s the former not the bladder.

“His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.”

My genuine concern about the flu shot is that there is some evidence that the efficacy of the shot is reduced with every one that you get. There’s part of me that would rather wait on getting the flu shot until someone in my very near environment is at a high risk if they contracted it. I think that the conversation…

Back in the mid-nineties and the Edmonton Oilers sucked my dad had season tickets. I clearly remember a game against the Sharks and Arturs Irbe was in net and this one drunk guy was shouting at the top of his lungs that if he let in a goal he would take him shopping for jeans. It sounded funny but it wasn’t until many…
