Let me guess. You prefer the redhead but only if the island came equipped with cannibals under her command so you could be chopped into bits and served as the Thursday night stew. Am I close?

What's the word on his hip?

Are you saying you went blind from watching Catwoman? Your parents warned you about that.

If the Bills traded two first rounders to a team that gave back nothing except a promise to make you stop creating threads like this, I'd be ok with it.

I choose Julie Newmar's Catwoman.

Things require thinking so how about a few questions that will show you? 1. IYHO are there potentially many intelligent species strewn about our galaxy and others?

Do you want me to explain how to boil water too? It really isn't difficult but it requires you to think for a minute instead of perpetually wishing.

1. Dumb Canadians 2. McCain and Romney 3. I don't care

Dude, seriously. Think about what you wrote. It does not align with reality.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan Anne Hathaway?

Except math Accept math

Side note:. I know spay paint is a typo but imagine if it were a real thing and could be brushed on to every Canadian in sight.

It'd be interesting to see what they could get for Haskins. More than what Arizona got for Rosen?

I agree with him that UFO crashes are a silly notion but we have different reasons. If, however a species conquered the massive task of interstellar travel, they wouldn't be crashing. Not even their teenagers. What he misses is the undeniable reality that at least a large percentage of travelers would start with self replicating probes and radio and other signals before that. In order for them to "hide" they would have to chase down all their signals and probes before they reached us or anyone else and cover their tracks. And if there are thousands of societies out there, they would ALL have to do the same thing every single time. This is not realistic. It isn't the greatest analogy but if humans decided right now as a species to hide from ants, could we pull it off? You know the best way to hide? By not existing in the first place.

Personally I find it mind boggling that needing to replace half of a roster of expiring contracts is considered an accomplishment. Salary cap money or not, that is not an easy task. Where are enough good players going to come from with the combination of their old teams keeping them and other teams with cap $ bidding? If they don't dump Bots, they don't. I have no illusions that he can come close to having a good enough off season to make 20-21 viable.

Wait a minute, I thought the big picture was an upward trajectory. Does anyone still think Eichel asking out to get away from Bots master plan is unrealistic after a quote like that? If Eichel had an injury, the Sabres would be the worst team in the league by a country mile.

You have to pay the price if you want stars like Vesey, Johansen and co.

Occum's Shaver called and said: Saturday

Carrot Top?

Carrot Top?

The GM selected the coach AND paid big $ to the player right? At present those two things are incompatible which is par for the course and Bots knows golf.

You're gonna need a bigger coffee pot. I'll start with question 2 as I think it feeds question 1. The assumption you make in your answer is that there are many alien civilizations. While I find the scalar and wormhole stuff interesting, let's focus on the conventional. Our travel to Mars, our neighbor, has been what so far? Robotic. Why? Because of the immense process of sending a human. Maybe someday we'll go. It would be awesome, but robots will always be easier. Fast forward to travel through the galaxy and the advantages of sending robots are exponentially increased. Can you imagine a circumstance where any "conventionally" traveling species would send living beings first? If there are multitudes of species as you posit, I find it wildly implausible that the vast vast majority would do anything other than send robots first. Very soon, at the current rate of technological advancement, we will be able to build robots capable of self replication. It has been estimated that such devices could physically visit and colonize the ENTIRE galaxy in 250,000 years. They are commonly referred to as Von Neumann probes. 250,000 years is not a blip when compared to the age of the galaxy. Where are the probes? They simply would have to be here already, multiple times over if your assumptions are true. But they aren't. As for question 1, the scavenger threat could be a real one not just from the aliens themselves, but from the self replicating probes who need materials. If they're shooting off in all directions from each solar system, they'd need a lot of replicant building blocks. In our limited exploration of Mars and the Moon, has there been any evidence of this? What if the probes needed all of Jupiter but could leave everything else alone. That would throw the balance of the system way off. If we ever venture to the stars without finding a shortcut it will almost certainly be in this manner, at least to begin. It is plausible that DNA maps could be embedded into these probes and programmed to be adjusted to meet the characteristics of new homes. And yet, no probes from anywhere ever. No signals from anywhere ever. I wonder why. Maybe we should ask Sheldon.

Two more pennies.
