People think running a hotel or bar in a busy tourist area is easy money, but most of them don’t realize that you’re chipping off 10% to the weather guy right from the start.

Lying about the potato salad is the most suburban thing ever.

Our whole nation seems to be governed by the sunk cost fallacy.

Supervillain?  Give me a brake.  He’s an asshole.

It’s a slippery slope. Good thing we have emergency brakes

I remember when the Blues changed their unis from a solid blue to a two-tone blue, columnist/garbage writer Phil Mushnick said that the change was to identify with a gangsta culture.  I don’t remember the Blues so much that Phil Mushnick is a fucking moron.

The guy has not even started playing for the Knicks yet, let’s hold off on any and all “worst nightmare” talk.

Mickey’s ass is in the jackpot

Toronto is the only city in North America with three O’s in it. So that is pretty special.

“no team would gut itself for a one-year rental.”

From Brass Bonanza to Sad Trombone

The same logic I use when I stand up to pee before sitting down in the bathtub to take a shit.

True story, but back when I was a first year First Officer at a regional airline (making roughly $17k/yr), I absolutely trolled the hallways of hotels on overnights for leftover room service. To this day I remember my biggest haul was a large pizza only missing one piece. It was like hitting the lottery.

I made the point, the player who is leaving the ice is responsible for the infractions he makes. If you want strict interpretations of rules that break down every single situation, go watch football. Fast flowing sports like hockey aren’t called with the same level of strict enforcement.

One neat thing some people do is use grammar.

Too many men is called when either the player leaving the ice or the player entering the ice plays the puck while both are on the ice. That is the convention for that call, and that is how it is enforced. A player leaving the ice is relevant only when he is in violation of another rule (in this case, the offsides…

Makes sense to me because they are different rules with different standards. If the puck hit him, it would be Too Many Men. If he punched/hooked/interfered with somebody, it would be roughing/hooking/interference. He isn’t a non-entity, the rules still apply to him. He just gets an exception for that one rule as long…

“To put it another way: By the letter of the law, the Avalanche could have been penalized for too many men on the ice here, because Wilson was out before Landeskog was off.”

How often do we see an alert NFL center snap a ball when he catches a defensive player running late to the sidelines? Should officials ignore this and not penalize the defense for having too many players on the field?

It’s like hockey 101 to always change outside the zone.  The replay part of this is really annoying.
