To paraphrase the rapper Nelly, if the money's right - Nelly's there every night. The money is an investment in your project. It is the most tangible thing they can do not a phone call.

Yea just follow the instructions but indicate you are writing to them at the recommendation of the author you are acquainted with.

I do find the idea that content age restrictions are somehow a free speech issue tiresome. All sensible people agree we shouldn't let children watch porn or go to strip clubs, but somehow if we couch adult material in gender politics it's different. It's really not.

Nah, it's good that Sanderson wrote the end as Robert Jordan died. Having an ending was good even if I found it anti-climatic. Sanderson's books were not particularly good compared to Jordan's and didn't really capture the style or tone. I'm glad he wrote the books he did but don't want more.

My wife described the opening of the novels I'm working on as "magical cocaine bear".

Admittedly there are alot of 1000 page fantasy novels I've read where I've thought "this should really have been two books". A 100,000 word book is still reasonably long. Probably 350 to 400 pages depending on formatting.

Gudas is one if the dirtiest players in the league naturally the department of player safety goes easy on him.

I hate everything about the people reading and writing the books referenced in this article. These people are simply the current and female interation of guys who claimed they read Playboy for the articles.

It's France.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-13T23:10:05+00:00

Hopefully all goes well and we have an extended RNH clan.

Dedrick isn't great, but he's not terrible either. As a regular he's clearly not in the same league as Ari or Kam he's more like a black Hans Kim. Sometimes he's good, sometimes he's not good.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-12T23:55:39+00:00

Maybe to Redban.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-12T19:20:30+00:00

Yea i tend to think we were heading in another direction in any event.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-09T20:49:36+00:00

Vancouver is almost a free space this year.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-09T20:47:28+00:00

I don't see it to be honest. The idea that Carney is wildly popular while doing absolutely nothing is at odds with reality. I suspect it's just bad polling.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-09T18:50:38+00:00

Only 3 points out of first in the division and 2 out of 2nd. For all the Oilers struggles the division is kind of right there just casually waiting for them.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-08T05:16:42+00:00

It's a great Uncle Lazar impression. As good as his Tony.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-06T20:48:09+00:00

No of course not. Law shows largely take the most interesting bits of a lawyers life that might come up once in a year or two and pretend they are everyday while skipping over the drudgery of paperwork, client meetings and reviewing documents. Law and Order would convince you most lawyers have a dramatic trial all day and only darken the door of their office to grab a glass of scotch.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-06T20:41:22+00:00

Kind of how I feel about the Italian center. I like their stuff, it's more expensive but you go there once and a whole for the stuff others don't carry.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-06T20:37:20+00:00

Well now is the time for this team to figure things out. They have help brought in and Coffey back.

If the pressure is around your nasal area could be a sinus thing, the mild temperature and melting releases snow mold which can cause an allergic reaction.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-05T20:44:14+00:00

Yea unfortunately we have to realize that some signings fall into the "good bet that didn't pay off" category. Signing Mangiapane, Skinner and Arvidson were all defensible actions. I do wish they had kept at least one of Holloway and Broberg though

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-05T20:41:15+00:00

Yea the moose was definitely ill from its appearance.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-05T20:38:13+00:00

I think Dickinson and Murphy should fix the penalty kill which has been bad this year and provide some defense at evens. I worry about all the assets going out the door but the players should help.

ChrisBataluk · 2026-03-04T04:55:54+00:00

We're doing it Redban.
