@ABWorsham:

I’m enjoying the evolution of Ventress.

I like where that character has gone as well. The other thing I think they do really well with characterization is how often they show how angry Anakin is and how more or less serene by comparison Obi-wan is. Obi-wan is always reigning himself in and Anakin is always about to slip off the chain.

Bettman is a fool he has no problem putting teams where they lost 20 million a year every year but won’t put another one in ontario (toronto or hamilton area) or bring back a team to Quebec……the canadian dollar is at par now those 2 would be no brainers.

If they are going to ask the players to give back more money which is fine at least have the courtesy to run the league well financially.

Welcome back

@Deaths:

It’s all over but the crying in Philly…… Go Devs, Eastern conf. Finals Baby, Lord Stanley, here we come… yippeeee

Nice… my predictions were wildly off the mark.

@ncscswitch:

nor’easters for starters…

The storms or the people?

Both!  :mrgreen:

@Jennifer:

Why were you stuck in the Army’s camp for misguided little boys so long, NCSC?

Well, originally I was there for Infantry Training for the PA National Guard (11C, my local guard unit was Combat Support, to had to learn to fire 4-deuces).  But, my knees that had been patched  back together after I tore them up at USAFA failed again…

But, rather than let a perfectly good former Academy puke go to waste, and since they were shorthanded in my Bat, they turned me into a Unit Supply NCO and Unit Armorer.  Went from Trainee to Trainer overnight.  Went from Barracks to BEQ.  And spent a year wearing a “Follow Me” patch instead of my “Bloddy Bucket” until my med board finally was processed.

Yep… it SUCKED!  But I loved it :-D

Ugh, yea the med-board process SUCKS for trainees!  They tried to make me go that route, I told em unless they could guarentee me a 30% or more disability they could shove it up their rosey red buttocks!  Then they tried to Chapter 5-1-2 me (medboard without a voluntary subject) and I called my congresswoman (who, since I’m in IL is a democrat) and she stopped that cold.

Now I’m assigned to the IL Nat’l Guard as in their IT dept.  But hey, at least I don’t have to move!

As for my AC being “broken” in Georgia, it was not Rune.  There just wasn’t an AC there!  Silly army…like we all want to camp or something…sheesh!
