  1. You remember when Hooters tried to start an airline? Yeah--that was dumb af.
  2. Goddamnit--that was exactly what my comment was going to be. For those interested, here is the Nikkei historical chart:
  3. So does this mean we're bringing Obama off the bench?
  4. You know--I was a little pissed that I sold off all my SPY around 10:00 this morning and missed the whole run-up. But you know what--you never go broke making a profit.
  5. This is very strongly my feeling. I'm not looking back to what happened in 19 Diggity 5. I just know that it's really tough to go wire-to-wire as the best team in the league. And when you do that, it takes something out of you. Just look at Boston last year (or was it two years ago?). When you do that, it just feels like you're delaying the inevitable cold stretch to the playoffs. Everyone has that run of ten games or so where they play shitty hockey. Everyone. Best to get that out of the way in December or January. But time after time, we see Winnipeg hit that stretch in May.
  6. Counterpoint: they go to their internet echo chamber to gain validation and avoid the HEB where they get confrontation. And so next time, they order their groceries curbside. Which is all we want. I think we're in complete agreement: people will gravitate toward affirmation and avoid confrontation. So if you don't want people to physically be in the HEB with their dog, make their physical presence uncomfortable for them and their online interaction with the HEB more attractive.
  7. Perhaps I'm entering my Karen stage of life, but sitting here and bitching about this on a college-football message board is pointless. If it annoys you so much, you ought to have the fucking balls to go up to these people and say, "your dog doesn't belong in the HEB. There's food here, and it's gross." I've done it. Maybe you get a "fuck you." Sure. Maybe. But guess what--people don't like confrontation. I mean, I do. But most people don't. So the end result is that the person's experience of taking the dog to the HEB was, on balance, a negative. And that will weigh on their decision-making next time they're thinking about taking the goddamned dog to the HEB. Now imagine that everyone who spent time on this thread bitching about dogs at the HEB actually said something to the dog-owners they see at the HEB. If anyone who took a dog to the HEB got at least one pointed negative comment every trip, nobody would take their fucking dog to HEB. Fucking nobody. This is on everyone who is too fucking afraid of confrontation to call out bad behavior. We all need to get over that shit.
  8. Jets lost last night at Staples Center and have a game tomorrow in Vegas. That lead over Dallas is starting to get really tenuous. So much so that the game in Dallas is looking less and less like an opportunity for Winnipeg to sew up the Central and more and more like a game Winnipeg needs to win to keep a lead.
  9. Don’t look. Ow, but the Jets are down 2-0 10:00 in the 1st at Staples Center.
  10. What happened? I missed it?
  11. Those last three games for both teams are pretty soft. If there's ground to be made up, it'll be made up in the next ten days. Meanwhile, we only need seven points in our last eight games to secure home-ice over Colorado. With that schedule, that looks . . . doable.
  12. I think it's been 1,999 after the Stay-Puft Incident in 1984.
  13. I thought it would be a fun movie to see with my kids. But my 15-year old refuses to see it. He says it "looks like what a GenXer thinks Gen Z ought to think is cool." Ouch, man.
  14. Looking at our schedule the rest of the way, it’s hard to see how Colorado could catch us. its also hard to see how we could catch Winepeg.
