    Darwin is alive (well, figuratively speaking) in Maine

    so long as people have ready access to fireworks, this is going to happen every year, booze or not. The NYG pass rusher jason pierre-paul ( who is in a position to light fireworks with 100 dollar bills) just had his 60 million long term deal pulled by the giants because of a fireworks accident...

    Get a nerd to talking, this is what usually happens.

    I forgot to mention I also tried the android on a stick (MK808), meh. The intel on a stick will run windows buts its still a quad core atom. I killed my htpc that was running an earlier quad core atom ( lack of suitable drivers) then went to a quad core amd kabini htpc ( if you are picking up...

    I am a big proponent for htpc's but a htpc's and a fire stick are, in my opinion, for very different uses. Htpc's are to stream local content ( although they can stream online content). There just isn't enough storage on these sticks. I've tried all three, a chrome cast, apple tv, several built...

    Blackhawks: Do or Die?

    if Chicago is to get back in it ( and I think they can) they are going to need more production from Toews and Kane. It's no secret I'm not a big Crawford fan, but he hasn't been the achiles heel at all. And to be honest I hope chicago does get back in it because win or lose, in the next few...

    Well after defending the practice as bring limited in scope, it seems it was a lot more pervasive. An active military member had a pair behind the lightning bench but can't attend game 2 ( he's in kentucky), so he's selling them on the secondary market. The lightning told him that was his right...

    What grinds my fears is that mid week games before Christmas they won't turn away visiting fans because they can use them to fill the house. I'm not a big fan of biting the hand that most certainly feeds them to some extent.

    I know that for the lightning it's only for certain expensive sections and for baseball it's largely only restricted to the seats immediately behind the plate. And as desperate as it seems, they can ask people to remove shirts and if the.people don't want to, they can get the heave ho. A...

    Yeah, they print money and are stuck with the roster and coaches don't count against the cap. I thought they would pay him a ton but even I was surprised with an 8 year deal. The devil spawn of spotty bowman and al arbor couldn't last 8 years in Toronto with the devil playing nets. Mabey babs...

    I know a lot of people that I consider hockey guys who all strongly favor the hawks. I don't see it against the ducks, who I think are the cream of the west. The only question is what Anderson is gonna do in net. The ducks might have had the easiest route to the WCF but the sweep against the...

    I'm trying not to look too far ahead. But I've said all playoffs, if the habs power play is anything above abysmal, we are in a good place. The PP goal in game 4 broke the streak and although we hit a lot of posts, the entry and movement on the PP in game 5 was exponentially better. 11 games...

    No future predictions but I'm happy about tonight and looking forward to Saturday night ( man am I glad it's not the matinee game). Shaw just scored, hawks up 2-0.

    it's early spring, depending where you are the grass might be green, the cherry blossoms might be opening. but there is one thing that you can count on to happen every spring no matter where you live: thomas vanek does his "where's waldo" impersonation. i am SOOOOOOO glad we cut bait with...

    i've never been a big fan and always though he was a "system" goalie but he's going pretty good now. we will have to see if it lasts. and the "stamkos drought" has (as expected) broken. the habs did not play well at all for the last 45 minutes of the game and our usually stout PK gave up 4...

    nhl playoffs are here! it took 82 games but they are here!

    the bolts schooled the habs this year ( but so did the sens), its gonna be a competitive series. I'm not sure our D ( outside of pk) can match the speed of the bolts forwards. Johnson looks like he gets shot out of a cannon and Markov, Emelin and gilbert are not speedsters nor spring chickens...

    I had the same feeling especially when the wings made it 3-2, it felt like the floodgates were about to open. The one saving grace ( and I'm fully on the wings bandwagon for game 7 because no one should cheer for a team with Cedric paquette AND super tough guy Brian boyle on it) is that all...

    yesterday was crazy ! the habs finally put the sens away and the blues ( whom I was convinced would finally go deep this year) did what they always do and got dumped in the first round. Something has to change in St louis, either hitch goes or a combo of backes and oshie have to be moved and...

    it kind of reminds me of the flyers pens 1st round series a couple of years back. Objectively its not been great hockey but it has been entertaining. I also like the undercurrent of the young flames taking it to the older and more established Canucks. I though the flames with weeks left in...

    Very surprising, tampa is a beast at home but hey dont look so good on the road ( who would have guessed that tampa's problem would be an inability to score)? I'd love to the wings to oust the bolts, im still not convinced its gonna happen, but it would be great. the caps game was good...

    I too hope the jets win at least one, and I like big buff but some of the stuff he has pulled recently is getting me to rethink this position. I think the series has been so physical because that's the one place the jets think they match up well against the ducks. I picked the ducks, still...
