Links on Good Friday? War on Christianity.
At least in Kenya, it sure is.
Something, something, last supper. 8-(
I have a dream that Reason will see something in one of the other 49 states to cover today.
Our redtards will be disappoint.
I actually enjoyed the last thread on the topic, where I discovered a new business opportunity, chic wedding pizza, P?te Neapolitan du Fromage. Layered pizza, with frou-frou ingredients.
EVERY Friday is a good Friday.
The Coast Guard found a man lost at sea for 66 days after a German tanker reported seeing him.
I'd say his pizza's free then.
You know who else German tankers reported seeing?
Is it Hitler? Is that the answer?
Hundminen?
Deplorable animal abuse. Excellent response.
Sgt. Yakov Pavlov?
Nicely phrased, Switzy, in the true german style.

Oh, I saw this movie. Lifeboat.

Athiests hatin' on Jesus... just sad, man. Leave the man/deity be...
He insists it is time to stop believing in Jesus Christ as a historical figure
Feel free, Dave.
Nobody fucks with the Jesus
You said it, mahn.
A couple of years ago I suggested I'd like to see a bunch of zombie movies on Easter to celebrate the undead Jesus. Needless to say, opinion was sharply divided.
zombie jesus
My kid got in trouble in Catholic school a few years ago for (seriously) suggesting exactly that. When the teacher contradicted him, he insisted on getting the dictionary and reading the definition of "zombie" and pointing out that the Jesus story fit it exactly.The phone call I got from them was... priceless.
Didn't we already know that? I tend to think that there probably was a real person at the beginning of the whole thing. But the Bible is certainly not a reliable historical document.
Palestine was crawling with would-be messiahs at the time. I can easily believe one of them was particularly memorable to his followers, and that some teachings of others became misattributed to him.
The Virgin Birth, Resurrection? Nope. They are the period's equivalent to JFK assassination theories. Their Hero deserved a better story surrounding his death than reality, so they whipped themselves into fervent belief (rose after the 3rd day, shot by the CIA because he was going to get us out of Vietnam, etc).
Yeah, that seems likely. All of the virgin/asexual birth and resurrection stuff was largely present in other older traditions.
I am not the real Dread Pirate Roberts.
In that case I highly recommend that you avoid Iocane powder.
Or posting anything about Silk Road.
[eyeroll]
OK, so let's assume he wasn't a real human being... So what? Christians don't worship a mortal man who said he was the Son of God, they worship the Son of God. Historicity of Jesus has nothing to do with the faith in a redemptive act by an aspect of a Supreme Being.
The most charitable reading I can come up with is that he is telling historians that they should stop assuming that Jesus is historical.
That's what I got out of it.
Me as well.
Actually it would be a big deal.
To most Christians the crucifixion of Jesus was not some mere metaphor for redemption. It was literally that act which makes their salvation possible and if that never happened then their entire faith is meaningless.
If we had iron clad proof that Jesus of Nazareth never existed it wouldn't make it impossible to be a Christian but it would decimate the christian faith and make what was left look something more like Deism than the active evangelizing faith that it has been.
It would also put an end to folks like Ken Hamm's young earth creationism and all other biblical literalist beliefs.
That said as an Atheist I think that it is almost a certainty that there was an itinerant preacher in Judea during the late 1st century BC that either claimed or was reported by his followers to be the messiah and who was named Jesus and he probably did at least some of the things attributed to Jesus in the Bible, there is a good chance he was even crucified by the Romans. That doesn't mean he was the son of god or that the miracles he was purported to have performed ever happened but odds are there is someone that served as the basis for the legend.
Too many people are making too much money for the train to be derailed by something as simple as historical fact.
And nothing is going to stop the young Earthers. They already reject pretty much every bit of understanding science has discovered about the natural world. They are lost to reason.
I know, my entire family are young earth Christian Dominionists
Ugh. Sorry, man.
As an agnostic, I find the young earthers to be just, well, beyond saving.
"If we had iron clad proof that Jesus of Nazareth never existed...."
It would make no difference whatsoever.
Can someone remind me what happens if Jesus sees his shadow?
It means the sun is out, or the light is on. Nothing major.
He goes back in the tomb and we have six more weeks of atheists?
No, they are a permanent infestation.
Six more weeks of lent?
He has to sneak back across the border to Mexico for 6 more weeks.
It means Joseph Smith was right, and totally not on powerful hallucinogens.

That girl could give me a free car any time she wanted.
But would she let you park it in her garage?
I doubt it, because I'd want to park it sideways.
But than where would you store your power tools and the stuff you would like to throw away one day but just can't bring yourself to let go of the past?
I think that girl likes to keep her garage cleaner than that.
It won't last.

One Writer At Reason Is Actually Able to Condemn Coercion and Witch-Finding Without Equivocation
...Too many writers there seem more enamored of gay marriage than liberty itself. Check your masthead, guys -- you're not Gay Men's Health Crisis. Your masthead identifies you as being in favor of liberty first and foremost....
...The fake libertarians at Reason -- which is most of them -- seem to believe, with a couple of honorable exceptions, that this form of intimidation-by-mob-assault is actually healthy free expression -- so long as it enforces the social codes and taboos they favor.
I think Nick Gillespie would have quite another opinion of it were this form of mobbing directed at couples in gay marriages...
I liked Matt's article best too.
Can I get a ruling? It's Friday and I don't have much else going on today anyway.
I thought it was for Messicanz, pot and ass sex?
Or alt-text (at least the online version...)
Drink!
Woo-hoo!
I for one think they SHOULD change the name to "Gay Men's Health Crisis." Then I could tell people that though I am not gay, I just read it for the articles.
That would be awesome!
Articles? Who reads the articles? I'm here for the comments.
Christ, you must never engage in foreplay...
I'm just here for Lobster Girl.
Lobster Girl....
Happy (Good) Friday all: http://www.aeromental.net/2009.....a-lobster/
this form of intimidation-by-mob-assault is actually healthy free expression
I don't think may were saying that it is healthy free expression. But unless it rises to the level of a criminal threat or assault it is free expression. Which I'm pretty sure should be protected whether healthy or not.
An angry mob is an intended, implied threat.
Why do you hate pro-life protests or Tea Party rallies?
Yeah, Botard, Tea Party rallies are REAL intimidating events. Fucking terrifying when they pick up all their trash at the end and neatly deposit it in the appropriate receptacles...
That's true for the TP. Some pro-life rallies and protests do get pretty angry mob-ish.
Did someone litter around the pizza joint?
Does journo bullshit count as litter?
Perhaps as Zeb says metaphorically...
Showing up at someone's business to protest them specifically is different that a public gathering, you idiot.
I think Nick Gillespie would have quite another opinion of it were this form of mobbing directed at couples in gay marriages...
Yeah, pro-life people never show up at someone's business to protest what they're doing there! lol
LOLski!
Killing babies is a sacred rite for some (just ask nancy pelosi) making money doing so is just a bonus.
Haha, pro-life people can't resist the 'killing babies' line.
You got some links from rightwingwatch for us today?
Maybe, I'll check them later.
Are you the link bias police? Because if so, you should be aware that there's a lot more action on the 'other side' of town...

Or a metaphor. A bunch of dickheads getting pissed of on the internet isn't literally a mob. If they made serious threats, it's still criminal, but it's not quite torches and pitchforks.
It did actually raise to the level of criminal threat, and a lot of the communication has been handed over to law enforcement.
And I hope that they are appropriately punished if the accusations are true. But I don't think most of the response rose to that level.
I think it was all pretty shitty. Those people weren't hurting anyone and hadn't actually done anything discriminatory. Even a peaceful boycott or protest would have been pretty shitty, but it would have been free expression.
"But I don't think most of the response rose to that level."
Silly nuance Zeb. It's much more fun to generalize the acts of some to those of many!
It's much more fun to generalize the acts of some to those of many!
So you're just hanging around to have fun. It makes so much sense now.
Bo is the queen of collectivizing while decrying all the supposed collectivizing.

From the comments:
"The only difference between Big-L Losertarians and Post-Modern DemocRATs - the order of importance they place on the goals ofthe total subjugation of Christians and free drugs for all. "
THEY'RE ON TO US! *smokes crack while throwing Christians into a lions den.*
That idiot commenter then gets called out by other commenters, and says the following:
"Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. You're so stupid you wouldn't know stupid if you hit yourself on the head.
Losertarian Goal 1A - Free drugs for all
Losertarian Goal 1B - Elimniate Christianity
Post-Modern DemocRAT Goal 1A - Eliminate Christianity
Post-Modern DemocRAT Goal 1B - Free drugs for all"
This guy...this guy knows the score.
Lets compromise, free drugs for Christians.
So...what kind of drugs? Asking for a ... pastor.
Anti anxiety drugs for the Catholics - we want the alter boys relaxed, don't we?
I said "pastor". not "priest", I...er, the pastor is Protestant!
"WHAT KIND OF DRUGS, DENNY!?"
"IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT!"
Sounds like a fair trade.
Do you think he capitalize the RAT part of democrat as a statement or because he accidentally pressed the caps lock during his stroke that impaired his critical thinking ability?
No, that's an attempt at humor. And I'll tell you what, it's just as funny this time as it was the first hundred or so times I saw. Knee-slapping, goddam guffaw funny.... EVERY TIME!
Wait, wait. What about Teh ButtSeks?
Fuck free drugs. Pay for your own goddamn drugs, you fucking welfare queen mooch!
"The fake libertarians at Reason -- which is most of them -- seem to believe, with a couple of honorable exceptions, that this form of intimidation-by-mob-assault is actually healthy free expression -- so long as it enforces the social codes and taboos they favor."
Fake libertarians? Silly me, I thought being a libertarian meant you were against using coercive force but apparently it means also being against social movements that don't use force. So I guess libertarians must be against much of the pro-life movement that tries to end abortion by non-coercive but 'mob' tactics like boycotts, letter writing/social media campaigns, sit-ins, etc.
GOOD THING WE GOT A REAL LIBERTARIAN HERE TO CLEAR THAT UP!!
Thanks, Bo, for the ruling. We are all wiser - and more classically liberal - now...
Er, you do know I'm responding to a guy who called Nick and Reason out as fake libertarians?

Other than that little detail it's totally non coercive.

That movie actually was pretty fantastic for what it was. A mindless action movie.

Everything is reverse in Australia from how their toilets flush to the fact that they write reviews after movies leave the theater.
I got the Blu-ray from the library with low expectations and ended up really liking it.
The Man From Tai Chi, while not as good as John Wick, is also a pretty watchable martial arts film. Keanu still gots it, is what I am saying.

"The plant species where an individual loses its virginity becomes a favorite."
What kind of anthropomorphic shit is this? Moths are all specific to certain plant species. It has nothing to do with fondness. It's a fuckin' bug. It has to do with finding a niche so you aren't crowded out by other species.
If you grow much stuff it is easy to notice how each plant species attracts specific species of moth and butterfly and other insects.

Forget the mistaken assumptions. What really appalls me is the simple racism on display here. These same people will argue that race is primarily a social phenomenon, not biological, and I agree with them.

Well the Good Thinking class pay to ensure that the stupidity and/or ignorance among blacks remains fully subsidized, at home and abroad.
This is regional rather than by skin color and progressives believe it's okay to sneer at someone based on the region they live in. They don't even live in Brooklyn, yo!

What do you want to bet that the writer of such disparaging commentary lives either on the South West, North East coast, or the leftist island of Chicago?

+1 What's the Matter with Kansas?
Thomas Frank registers at nearly 100 milihedges on the Smugter Scale.
There was a great review of that book in City Journal where they pointed out that if you adjust for cost of living Kansas is well into the top half of incomes per capita and that they've also weathered the last several recessions far better than the rest of the country.
That was before the 2008 recession too, when Kansas did far better than most of the rest of the country. But Kansas doesn't vote the way Frank would prefer, so he blatantly lies and pretends the state is some sort of dystopia.
I've always wondered about this: why would you 'adjust for the cost of living' if what you're interested in is something like productivity? Of course in places where people have more money things tend to cost more. That doesn't make the people there less productive than people elsewhere.
You adjust for costs because it tells you the quality of life of the people living in an area, which is what's under discussion. People in New York are paid more partially because of how expensive New York is, but their quality of life isn't necessarily any better than someone living in Kansas with far lower nominal income because the cost of living in Kansas is so much lower.
It's not about 'productivity,' it's about coming to conclusions about quality of life. Frank's entire argument is that EVIL RETHUGLICANS have tricked the easily duped morons of Kansas into voting against their best interests, but if Kansans actually have a pretty high quality of life, then his thesis clearly isn't right. That's why you have to adjust for cost of living.
I get that a person making X in a place where costs are higher can get the same amount of stuff and lifestyle that a person making less than X where the costs are lower, I guess I just think that other than taxes, costs are just going to be higher where people make more, and that making more means something important too.
Sure but making more doesn't necessarily mean your living differently or better either. Also it leads to another question: how much is the cost of living driven up by gov. intervention into the various markets in the area you reside and how much of the increase is driven by real market forces.
Well real is a dumb term but, I guess just market forces.
If the state reduces taxes the stuff being taxed immediately becomes cheaper for consumers.
If you do the Econ 101 exercise for how generalized supply vs demand curves change when the state reduces taxes, the supply curve shifts upward, and the market clearing point is a lower price for consumers, a higher price for producers, and an increased quantity being produced and consumed.
The result, marginal businesses become more profitable, and consumers have more money to spend on less urgent/desired needs.
These are all first order effects. If one were to slash taxes and stop maintaining roads, for example, the decline in infrastructure would negatively impact economic activity. On the other hand, if the slashing of taxes were to result in some charitable activity, like the closure of state parks, the result would be economic expansion.
Generally.
I agree, that's why I separated out the taxes. The bigger the goose the more the government seems to be intent on burdening if not killing it. But the big goose means something I think (man, that sounds silly, but I'm too tired to rewrite it...).
Taxes aren't the only thing though look at how zoning impacts housing and minimum wages impact the service industry.
Making more only means whatever "more" buys. What else could it possibly mean?
Yes, I see your point, but for one thing about what it could possibly mean is that one is producing more productive or valued work (the things that the New Yorker produces are of course not just sold in NY just as with the man in Kansas, the fact that the former rakes in more than the latter might mean something). I guess one could also think about the fact that if the NYer travelled to Wichita he could live much larger the Wichitian could on a visit to NYC.
IMO the only really relevant thing about doing well somewhere with a high vs. low cost of living is that the person making bank in a high-cost place can better afford the kind of luxury goods that have a worldwide market without price variation (or with very limited, tariff-based variation). So the affluent guy in Kansas can't buy Hermes but the guy living similarly in Manhattan maybe can.
As far as productivity, I submit the number of people who GAF is very low. How productive are you vs. how well do you live--vast majority are going to care infinitely more about the latter.
You have the causality backwards.
Places have a high cost of living not because of the wages paid but because of the geographic constraints of living there and because of the level of government taxation.
Do you have to make houses winter proof, do they need to resist hurricanes or tornadoes, how much land is available for expansion in close proximity to employment centers is there, how far are you from a port or rail nexus, how does the stock of housing compare to the population, how far does food need to be shipped to reach there.
Wages are then forced higher by the high cost of living
The derp is strong with this one. So deregulation=monopoly, how the fuck does that work? "Getting government off our backs" is bad? Nevermind that "getting government off our backs" precludes support for monopolies, that is unless you have an elementary school understanding of anti-trust laws and the whole concept of monopolies to begin with.
My favorite headline on this:
"New Kansas Law Allows Residents to Carry a Concealed Gun Without Permit or Training"
Without permit or training? Oh noes!
I'll bet money the average citizen carrying a gun will still be a better shot than cops and without any shadow of a doubt, regular jackoffs with a gun will be an order of magnitude more judicious in their use of that weapon than cops are.
Got my first rifle when I was 16. I somehow managed not to break into people's homes and shot them or their dogs. I'm lucky I guess. Wish these cops could be as lucky as I was as a 16 year old.
Of course. This is a serious flaw in the mindset of progressives, that there always exist 'experts' from whom one must get 'certification' to do something or disaster ensues. My dad taught me to handle a firearm when I was a kid. He learned from his dad. I've got years of such 'training.' Why in the world would I need a six week class from an 'expert?'

They can't help embedding the idea that a tax cut is something "given" to you--that what you have earned is actually just something the government lets you keep.

In a conference call with members of right-wing pastor E.W. Jackson's STAND America that was posted online today, former senator Rick Santorum disputed the existence of the separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution, dismissing it as a Communist idea that has no place in America.
A listener on the call told Santorum that "a number of the things that the far left, a.k.a. the Democrat [sic] Party, and the president is pushing for and accomplishing actually accomplishes a number of the tenets of 'The Communist Manifesto,' including the amnesty, the elevation of pornography, homosexuality, gay marriage, voter fraud, open borders, mass self-importation of illegal immigrants and things of that nature." The likely presidential candidate replied that "the words 'separation of church and state' is not in the U.S. Constitution, but it was in the constitution of the former Soviet Union. That's where it very, very comfortably sat, not in ours."

Angels' Albert Pujols gives touching gift to Downs syndrome brother of Dodger outfield Joc Pederson
Pujols and Joc Pederson had not met before March 16, the night of the screening in Phoenix. They both play professional baseball and share a market, and people in the business tend to be acquainted. But Pujols is 35, three MVPs and 520 home runs into this and headed for the Hall of Fame, while Pederson is 22, has 28 days of service time...
So it was something of a surprise that night when Pujols worked his way through the crowd, found the Pedersons ? father Stu, mother Shelly, Joc and Champ ? and introduced himself. Champ was beside himself.
"You're my favorite player," he said, well within earshot of Joc.
He asked for a jersey.
Pujols laughed.
The Pedersons knew The Pujols Foundation, knew the work it did for people ? children in particular ? with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Champ did too. From that, they figured Pujols must be a good man. Champ is a pretty good judge of these things.
"Champ's been wanting to meet him for a long time," Joc said.
Three days later, the Dodgers hosted the Angels at Camelback Ranch. Pujols was at first base. Pederson subbed into the game as a pinch-runner at first.
"I have Champ's jersey," Pujols told him. "I'll be sure it gets to you."
Awesome.

Barack Obama: Savior of 50000 lives thanks to healthcare law
The president's statement could have been a bit more precisely worded to reflect some of the uncertainty in the estimate: "likely a major reason why we've seen an estimated 50,000 fewer preventable patient deaths in hospitals."
But that's a relatively minor quibble. The numbers might seem large, but the research seems solid, according to experts we consulted, and it is based on a review of an extensive database. The results likely reflect work that predated the ACA but at the same time the ACA has spurred even greater cooperation among hospitals. Since the president is using a figure more than a year old, it is likely understated ? unless, of course, the interim number for 2013 turns out to be overstated. We will keep a watch on that.
But in the meantime, the president's claim appears worthy of the elusive Geppetto Checkmark.

Harper is turning into a bit of a knucklehead. His little trick where he tries to bait the running into trying for second by dogging it going after a hit is bush league and is going to bite him in the ass at the worse time. I wish he would just shut up and play hard.
he generally does. But I believe the event your referring to happened in spring training, not in a real game, and he got chewed out for it by the manager. Everything Harper does is magnified about a million times and blown completely out proportion. Not that I believe he's above criticism or that he doesn't benefit in the end from that kind of attention, but it does get a little ridiculous. Puig is treated the same way by the national media.

If there had been a provision in the "framework" protecting the right of gay people to Iranian wedding cakes or pizza, I'm sure Reason would have been all over it.
I guess we'll have to wait for a socon Republican to say something stupid about Iran, and then I'm sure that'll be considered sufficiently important by Reason staff to graduate from a bullet point in AM links.
The deal (which hasn't been formally approved yet) is such a giant, stinking turd that not even Reason can help polish it for Obama.
IowaHawk had a great one liner on that. We can totally trust anything Iran says except when they talk about destroying Israel. Then they are just joking around.
My understanding is this deal doesn't require Obama to go to Congress except to get the sanctions lifted.
So he already has an excuse if the deal goes south.

When anyone on the left is criticized here it is Bo's first reaction to say "but, but, but the nasty (SoCons, Republicans, Tea Partiers, Right to Lifers, Right wingers, Reason commentators) did it too."
The mask slips more every post. He really is just a concern troll for the progressives.
Because he is a concern troll. He like Tony and Shreek never shows up on the threads that involve nonpartisan issues. You never see him on a movie thread or a dead puppy thread or any of the hundreds of other threads that don't concern team red versus team blue. He only shows up on the partisan threads and he always says some variation of "the hit and run republicans are just picking on team blue" or "but the nasty team red people are just as bad". It is his entire act.
He did show in the Easter egg thread but that was to troll Warty. I think Bo is secretly in love with Warty the way he follows him around. He's like a 8 year old little boy pulling the pigtails of the girl in front of him in class.

Q. Sister Married Her Statutory Rapist: Eight years ago, when we were both in high school, I discovered my sister was sleeping with her English teacher. I told my parents, but our English teacher was 22, and she convinced them it was true love. My parents declined to press charges as long as the relationship went on hold until my sister turned 18. I didn't agree and told my principal and the cops; the teacher went to jail. My sister's now married to him and has never forgiven me for turning her husband in, especially since he's now a registered sex offender. They have a daughter, and if it weren't for their relationship's origins, I would say he's a great husband and father. I miss my sister so much. I'm not welcome in my niece's life. My parents are tired of the rift between us. Did I make a mistake? How can I repair our bond?
How old was the sister? It seems to me that if she was 17, this is yet another example of America's idiotic statutory rape laws imprisoning someone who didn't deserve it.
Now, if she were 14...that would be a slightly different situation.
Either way, the idea that someone can end up for life on the sex offender registry for having consensual sex with his future wife is grotesque.
They were both in high school. That means she was at least 14 and probably older. She ended up marrying the guy. There was only at most 8 years age difference. This guy is a putz who likely has some weird and unhealthy attachment to his sister.
There's a historical term for a 22 year old man fucking a 17 year old girl. What is it, I forget...Oh yes, I remember now. It's called COMPLETELY NORMAL.
Yes. The guy was 22. If he had been in his 50s and married with kids older than her, i could totally see it skeeving her family and brother out. But he was just out of college. I would rather have my 17 year old daughter dating a guy in college with a job than some jackass 17 year old with tattoos and his pants down over his ass.
John, It was only the brother who had an issue. The parents just said for them to quit fucking until she was 18. He's lucky his parents don't treat him like his sister does.
Why do you guys keep saying brother?

Maybe it was her sister. The point however doesn't change.
I am so thankful that I am not dating my wife today. Since when we started dating she was 16 and I was 21. That was 25 years ago. And today that would land me on the Sexual Predator for Life list. What a fucked up place to be young today.
I am so thankful that I am not dating my wife today.
Sounds like she'd be way too old for ya.
Good point. She wears me out right now. She would hurt me badly if she was 25 years younger.
In my youth (Ohio late 70's- early 80's) a 17 yr old was "jailbait".
Well for starters you can allow your brother in law to arrange for you to be anally raped multiple times, as that almost certainly happened to him when he was behind bars.
Then you can give them at least half your paycheck for the rest of your life to make up for the fact that you have now prevented him from ever having a career
Weird. I wonder why?
"The law is the law!" Fuck you, Prudie, you hag. People like her are disgusting.
He doesn't think that. I think he just has fucked up feelings for his sister.
That's Prudie saying that. I.e., you ruined this guy's life, there was no good reason to and it did no good whatsoever, but the law is the law, so you did the right thing. It's a truly disgusting attitude.
That is a shame. I really like Emily Yoffe. Disappointing to see her give such an idiotic answer.

Anyone who believes that all laws should always be obeyed would have made a fine slave catcher. Anyone who believes that all laws are applied equally, despite race, religion, or economic status, is a fool."

i have heard of a few school districts putting an age limit on new teachers to 25 or older for these reasons. Can't remember where though. It is odd to me to think some 22 year old is mature enough to begin to handle kids of that age. But what the fuck?

Raise both, you perv.
And no, um, jazz hands!
I like big 'buts' and I cannot lie.
More "and"s. I think these people are wrong about some things. And they have every right to run their business however they want to.
Yes, this is my attitude, as well. This is a capital opportunity to show how stupid and wrong these laws are. Discrimination is only a truly serious problem in commerce when it is enforced by government.
That's why we need to carry!
The individual becomes psychotic, they often rip off their clothes and run out into the street violently and have an adrenaline-like strength and police are called and it takes four or five officers to restrain them.
Meth Meh. IIRC, it takes six or seven officer with PCP.

^^ This.
Every time I see a rational argument over this followed with a but it means they are about to invalidate the argument. You are either for freedom for everyone, including icky bigots, or you're a statist fuck. The "but" tends to make you a statist fuck.
We've come a long way from letting Illinois Nazis march through a town chock-full of Holocaust survivors and their families.

Ovi has turned back into a monster. I, however, refuse to put any faith in the Caps doing anything but losing in the first round of the playoffs in some unbelievably frustrating fashion.
First round exit. Ovi gets a bad rap, he is who he is at this point a prolific scorer and not much else.
Now, now. They don't always do that. Sometimes they lose in the second round in some uneblievably frustrating fashion.
The hockey playoffs are almost entirely about two things: which goalie gets the hottest, and Canadian tears.
What do you think the odds are that I could score reasonably cheap tickets for their game on the 11th?
I'm taking my wife to Baltimore next weekend and she's a HUGE Caps fan but so far the cheapest tickets I've been seeing have been running north of $150 a seat which is just out of my price range.
My problem with him isn't really with him, so much as the people who overrate him because they are obsessed with only offense.
Non capisco.
+1.. Sometimes you need to call in a professional
To be fair, offense seems to be more easily understood by the layman because the one thing he does is score goals and get on sports center for that. Understanding good Defense/offensive positioning that lead to good outcomes requires a more nuanced understanding of the game.
He's amazing offensively, but that's only half of the game. I don't have any problem saying that he's awesome offensively, or averages out to good overall; it's just when people try to say he's one of the best in the league. If he was, he would be better defensively.
I've always liked Zetterburg. Darren Helm is a hottie. Teemu Pulkkinen isn't so bad either.
Puck bunnie's answer is whoever will talk to them at the Post.
The caveat: I'm the dedicated driver for my friend who is possibly the biggest Doyer fan in all of LA. He bought the tickets. I'm renting a car and I have a plan to stuff all beefy 220 lbs. of my drunk, sunburned, overly emotional, tobacco chewing, Latino dumbass friend into that rental car and get both our asses back to Long Beach in one piece. No cops. Hopefully no barf.
Which, incidentally, is orders of magnitude worse than someone getting turned away by one vendor out of 100.
They are easy to get but always expensive. NHL tickets are horrible like that. I think the NHL might be the most expensive professional sport to watch in person.
Lulz!
Um, that's a really bad photo of him.
He reminds me of Kris Draper, who I always liked as a player. But not going to win any awards or magazine covers as "hottest hockey hunk."
Its pretty heavy when we have Derpetologist and Barfman needed in one thread...
