Now for the LA Kings.

Quick injured again. One game and "down goes Quick".

Again.

Where is Martin Jones, started his Kings career with eight straight wins?

Quick's backup?

Oh wait.

Traded and wound up in San Jose, playing against the Kings now.

Who did we get for Martin Jones?

Forgot, that guy isn't with the Kings any more.

And ex-coach John Stevens. Or whatever his name was.

Uhhh maybe you don't quite get this thread.

Maybe he’s on mescaline

That sports gets its own section in the newspaper.

Sports fans who use "we" when talking about the team.

Me and my Eagles resent that.

This.

Particularly fans of college teams who never went to that college. I'm looking at you Bama fans.

Bama fans

Adults who follow high school sports seriously.

LMAO, this is such a good one. I have one of these HS Football Dads on my bowling team and he might be the most insufferable person on earth to talk to. Referring to his son's high school football team as "We", giving us a weekly update on his kid's "top 5 defensive ranking" in the state, and he usually speaks pure vitriol when talking about teams that they've beaten this year, like those players aren't kids. "We crushed those sorry-ass bastards", "They were so outmatched, pure size alone. We sent 3 of their starters to the hospital last game".

...all word for word quotes from this guy in the past month.

Foatie, don’t talk about 27offsuit like that. He just doesn’t like to lose, that’s all.

Incoming Permaban

Sports. I had a very nice guy at a party yesterday ask me if I had been to any basketball games this year yet. No. No I have not. Still insisted on talking about local team’s prospects to make it to the play downs or final level or Peterson cup or whatever they do.

Banks closing for holidays. I kind of understand, but not really, why they can't to major transactions like loans and stuff. But why not have a skeleton crew with at least drive up tellers available.

What for do you need a bank teller?

For something that can't be done online or at an ATM, obviously.

I am trying to think of such banking activity. I fail.

Nothing interesting, getting more cash than the ATM will give in a day.

It annoys me that I can't set my max Atm withdrawal to greater than $800. Then I wouldn't have to deal with tellers as often.

Sometimes I can pull a full thousand. Sometimes I can only pull 700.

This is annoying.

My wife watches lots of hospital/medical shows. It bugs me that every single show always has way, way too many people in the hall, at the nurse station, in the OR, etc than you would ever see in any hospital on earth. I mean we have all been in hospitals. The halls are empty and if you are lucky there might be a person at the nurse station, and one worker in a hallway.

They do the same thing in law offices in legal shows.

I am thinking there is no law office workspace anywhere you can see 6 offices with 2 or 3 people in them, and 20 people walking, talking, milling about, etc outside the offices as if it was some damn NY subway stop....

I am sure there is a reason but I wonder why Hollywood feels the need to make workplaces appear busier than we all know they are IRL.

People that eat curry or chinese food with way too little rice. At least 3:1 rice to meat should be employed.

Is that a 3:1 weight or volume ratio?
