fourseasons

And loudly lets everyone know what they're doing.

When Winnipeg got the Atlanta Thrashers, the season ticket commitment was for 5 years. Sold out the arena in less than 10 minutes. For those who split them with others, the most desired dates were the first game of the regular season and when Anaheim and Teemu Selanne paid a first visit.

This will probably be a way down the road, but when you have the chance go to Montreal and watch a game there. It truly is something to be experienced. This would be a bit harder to accomplish, given the size of the arena and you'd need to have a connecting flight, but also consider going to Winnipeg. A few years back the crowd famously took up a chant of "Crosby's better!" when the Caps were in town. Their taunting chants are a point of pride for them, and the arena was designed with the acoustics in mind (smaller capacity, big noise).

And it's likely going to get worse once they really get going with the Route 1 widening project.

With the exception of the whippersnappers around here, let us recall the days when changing your clocks because the government says so required actual effort.

My dear, you're the best thing that ever happened to me, marrying you was the smartest thing I ever did, we'll celebrate your milestone in September.

Rush is on that list? Being from Canuckistan, I've had to apologize for Nickelback, but Rush? Haven't had to.

I was living in DC as well, and it was amazing the difference between one part of town and another just based on that. I remember the residential part of Tenleytown being an absolute racket and with plenty of dead cicadas plastered to the sidewalks, while areas like Capitol Hill were not that bad in comparison. I guess this would also be the thread to post Beethoven insults if anyone is inclined.

I know someone who used to live in MD but has moved elsewhere where Old Bay seasoning isn't as popular. He did this even before he moved, but whenever he travels, whether via plane, train, or automobile, he carries the stuff with him because he feels it's a good idea to be prepared.

Don't worry, you'll start having dreams about whether you accumulated enough credits to graduate, and they'll usually involve the courses which in hindsight you should never have taken in the first place.

I was 16, and my big brother handed me a glass of something and said, "Here, try this." And yes, he enjoyed the face I made. It was 151 proof rum from our parents' rather small liquor collection.

When we would visit friends we played Ghostbusters on their Commodore 64. And original Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego FTW!

Or sometimes when taking a "private call" meant stretching the phone with the longest cord, whether it was phone to the wall, handset to the main set, or a combination of both, as far as you could and calling out the click when someone else got on the line. Then there was that rotary dial thing.

I apologize on behalf of the country of my birth.

Personally, most of what I know about Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends came from toddlers bringing me some education on the subject. "No, that's Henry!"

Yes.

Not sure what's going on with Dr. Seuss but Hasbro got into a PR pickle by saying the Mr. Potato Head brand is going to be renamed as Potato Head and after public outcry had to clarify that Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head will still have those names but it is the brand name that is going to change from Mr. Potato Head to Potato Head. As for The Muppet Show, if you watch it on Disney+ you'll see a disclaimer that it contains content that may be offensive, in particular relating to racial and cultural stereotypes. You can live a happy and contented life without knowing what they are.

That looks like someone's intestines are saying, nope, you're not coming to visit us, go back the way you came in.

If you're buying in the City of Alexandria, there is no Fios available. In Alexandria, Fairfax County, it depends on where exactly you're located. My local Nextdoor feed covers decent portions of both, and every few months there is usually a post from someone in the city part wondering if/when Fios will ever show up there, only to be told the chance is pretty much none.

I'll just post the link instead of cribbing one part of it and posting it, but this fire in DC made it on the radar: https://www.popville.com/2021/02/photos-of-huge-house-fire-in-woodland-normanstone/

I wonder if LWX would accept that as an official observation?

I tried to find out, but instead learned that a few weeks ago they gave up a shorthanded goal while they were on a 5 on 3 power play. That's embarrassing.

The Bruins set a record in 2010 during a game against Carolina by scoring 3 short-handed goals on the same penalty kill (it was a 2-minute minor); it took all of a minute and 4 seconds to do the job. They won 4-2.

He lives in Canada, so that usually isn't a problem for at least half the year.
