NHL Receives Official Bids For Expansion From Las Vegas and Quebec City

if i'm in town for a weekend, i'd rather see a hockey game than wayne newton (et al). i think that would be a common sentiment.

but the idea of expansion is barf. move the coyotes and call it a day.

Ironically the number of homes with a firearm present has dropped to almost 35% in the last 30 years.

Only about 10% of homes have a pool (above or in-ground).
the number of people who go swimming greatly exceeds the number of pool owners.

Far more often than not, simply seeing the weapon in the hands of the intended victim is enough to end the incident. in an attempted break-in, for instance, seeing the intended victim period is often enough to end the incident. and if that victim happened to be carrying, then it's a nice little bon...

Just in cold statistics the number of minor accidental deaths due to firearms is usually around 100-150 per year whereas accidental minor drowning deaths run 750-1,000 per year in the United States. i find this a little more palatable since people who swim can at least admit that it's purely for re...

But why? I don't understand the need for realism in a comic.
you understand the need for resemblance though, correct?

aside from the subject matter being of some interest, this is all very poor.

CSB, every year the animation guys would have a cell sale, and Nancy Cartwright would come and buy up dozens of cells with Bart and the other characters she voiced.

so apparently everything surrounding GoT at Comic Con was pretty secretive. more so than usual. i really think it all has to do with a book release. HBO isn't allowed to reveal anything significant about the future of the story until GRRM tells it himself in print, IMO.

NHL is going to collapse under the weight of its own greed/arrogance/stupidity.
it's not usually a great idea to look to expand when your product is diminishing in quality - substantially.

Regardless, Plot/Kunitz-Sutter-Dupes is a damn good third line
there's an equally good chance it will be mediocre. kunitz might be done. and i can't picture a world where sutter and dupuis have any chemistry.
