Yeah, I'm not saying the butt slaps do much for me either way. It does seem stranger in football.

Is one allowed to have a pet peeve towards electrical shocks from metal objects?

Cause if so, that's my pet peeve.

My pet peeve is the comment as a result of this.

For example I hand something to you and a spark goes off. Some nerd will always say 'ooooooh, you two have sparks".

Is skinny Chandler the one on drugs, or is fat Chandler the one on drugs? I've never known.

Skinny Chandler obviously, have you ever seen a fat coke-head?

Serious question, because I haven't.

I have never heard someone say something ridiculous like that. When I get shocked I normally follow it with a series of expletives. (and I've been tasered...but that's a story for another time)

Damn, s.b. Deerfoot down to 1 lane. This is what I get for staying at the office past 3:15 - I should really know better.

Really don't know what it is. DNA? I like to gamble too but have to be very very careful. Have to have a budget.
I don't know the reasons why, but there is definitely a cultural push towards asian gambling. In Singapore I noticed little hole in the wall bookies everywhere that only had a couple televisions that showed horse race results and other stuff like that. Every single bookie I came across was packed at night as well. I haven't been, but apparently Macau is much bigger than Las Vegas and brings in a lot more money. Think about that.

I think that should be a story for right now. It's too early to leave for the 'dome and I'm bored.

I always thought that there were lots of asian (well - chinese) gamblers because of the whole cultural fascination with numbers and luck.

Let's just say I was a willing participant, and it hurt like hell despite not even taking the full five second blast. I feel that after that, I am slightly more allowed to be in favour of police carrying and using tasers.

I just ate a Jelly Belly that tasted like cat urine (or what I would imagine cat urine would taste like)

Tasering . . . the whole other level of shock, and there's no swearing after that one.

I love how the NHL fines for comments, and not actions.

A Canuck took out Jared Boll with a dirty hit earlier this week, and got a $2,500 fine. Last night Hartnell bit Letang's finger, and got away with no repercussions at all.

Quinn makes some ~*controversial*~ comments and gets a $10k fine.

Makes complete sense.

In other news, there are too many stupid Steelers fans masquerading as Penguins fans right now.

And by way of update, I'm still really damn good at my job.
