Brooks Orpik

With the Pens GM team's record, I'm sure they'll trade Harrington for him in a year or two. :lol:

Colossal TV Show thread

Also: Magnum P.I. is on Netflix.

Frank Sinatra guest starred on S7E17 as a retired NYC cop. A sweeps rating gimmick to be sure, and I want to watch the whole thing, but during the "what's coming up on Magnum" they showed Frank beating some ass and getting thrown in jail. Awesome.

Vikings
Huge set piece battle along the walls of Paris. Very well done, almost Blackwateresque. Much smaller budget, but really well done.

You have to remove the "s" from the HTTPS and the URL must be in the correct format. That's the part that gets me hung up.

What If The Pens Dont Make The Playoffs?

The game vs Ottawa wasn't meaningful enough? I thought that was a very telling game and I sure hope the Pens will prove me wrong tonight.
Oh, I include any of the last handful of games of meaningful. These games have all been meaningful, not just these last two.

OFFICIAL OH CRAP THREAD

On a random note, Dejan mentioned in his Friday Insider that Pens TV ratings are down somewhat, like on par with a run of the mill Pirates game. That's not good, but it might grab upper management's attention more quickly.

What If The Pens Dont Make The Playoffs?

I'm legitimately excited about these last two games. It's the first meaningful regular season game since 2009 or so. I don't count playoff seeding and President's Trophy up for grabs games, obviously. But it's a true test to see if this team has the mettle to win out and get into the playoffs. Very ...

Milk

Skim milk = white water

I like 1 or 2%, but I don't sit around and drink it by the glass. Mostly cereal and recipes.

Fresh goat milk is good - stay away from the national-ish brand, as it tastes inferior to locally sourced goat milk.

My siblings lived in Goose Creek until recently - they both sold their houses to Navy personnel, new to the area. It's a slimy part of Charleston, but not as bad as North Charleston's worst neighborhoods.

Goose Creek has a Chik Fil-a now, Dickie. Big time man. Big time!

I wonder if tifosi could comment on Crossy Road's resemblance to Frogger, which is under copyright/control by Konami.

How are they able to have a game that is such an obvious ripoff of Frogger without paying Konami?

Back in my youth, amongst my fellow music snobs, it was frowned upon to buy "Greatest Hits" CDs.

What's FAF's feeling on this? I don't really agree with that statement any longer, as these samplers can be a gateway to a new artist without worrying about getting a "good" album to listen to.

I saw the own goal and knew the team would collapse. Ugh. Just a really fragile group in that locker room right now.

Any prognosis on Pouliot?

Mike Colligan Article - Mario Lemiuex, Ron Burkle, and the future of the Pittsburgh Penguins

Yeah, as always, Colligan is a good read. He has a background in financial writing, so he may have some insight on what Burkle will do if the Pens start losing money - no playoff revenue, end of sellout streak, and so on.
