I was at a holiday party, and a random NFL game in Denver was on. I was just sitting, partially drunk when they showed a monkey riding a dog, and it was the greatest thing ever. It was far superior to Madonna’s halftime show later that season. (And I generally like Madonna)

In hockey, the Cup is the most important thing for everyone, players, fans, and referees. 

Those aren’t whito rhinos. They are black rhinos, with their protruding prehensile lip. White rhinos are actually named after their lips not color, from the Dutch word for wide. 

In Hawaii, I bet he got some of the Nellie Kush.

The first effective gangrene in the NFL since the Jets won that Super Bowl once.

Wow. 

I don’t want to think which hand Zahed used to unzip.

Bludso’s nn LaBrea, just south of Melrose. Though it’s more Texas-Memphis than Missouri..

This is a good question. I’ve not done in depth data gathering, but I notice it often when there are lunch meetings in the adjacent conference rooms, and people are getting out of the meeting and heading back to their offices. 

That set up is pretty common in the rest of the world. The toilet (western or squat) or urinal, are in closets, and the sinks are outside in a common area. This set up also showed the ridiculousness of the “bathroom” argument as justification for discriminating transgendered people. I’ve been in a lot more…

The name will be the Seattle Bagels. It’s a guaranteed lox. 

Some teams win. Some teams lose. And some teams are the St. Louis Blues. The Stanley Cup drought never ends, it just goes on and on and on...

Amen to that. I have family in KC. In all the times I’ve visited, the only time I went to St. Louis was when my flight to KC got diverted to there because of fog. 

Worst thing in the bathroom to see is other people eat in there. We all know the disgusting stuff people do in the bathroom. Why would you bring food into that equation!?

Ha! The question for any Canadian city will always be the conversion rate. NHL contracts are paid in US Dollars. Local revenues will be mainly in CAD. So Canadian franchises are more attendance sensitive than US franchises due to the exchange.

No. They build a modern multi-purpose arena that is suitable for both professional hockey and basketball (unlike say the Barclay’s Center) if the opportunity presented itself. It was an upgrade to the aging, but architecturally interesting Kemper Arena, and is now routinely one of the busiest venues in the US for…

Oh I know. I’ve been to a couple of pre-season games at the Sprint Center. While I think the Sprint Center would love an anchor tenant, I don’t think the economic picture is one where the building needs a tenant desperately. 

I think Quebec and Hamilton are the bigger losers, as they don’t have the same access to events as an American city and there will always be the exchange rate issues. I know when Quebec’s venue was built the CAD and USD were near parity. It’s back to $1 USD is $1.30 CAD. That’s a 30% loss of value!
