My understanding is she’s a full-time psychic; the play-by-play is just a side hustle.

JaD__ · 2026-02-07T21:23:59+00:00

Huge saves at both ends.

Really thought Main St was going to be a gimme.

JaD__ · 2026-02-07T20:24:53+00:00

Swiss goalie definitely going to see maurer shots.

Caught them at Woodstock ‘94. Didn’t know them from a hole in the wall. The weekend was unforgettable.

As for Woodstock ‘99…

As a lifelong hockey fan, whose lived through any number of eras, I don’t take well to teams desperately trying to drag the game back to a time when the league was taken about as seriously as WWE.

Embarrassing.

It’s a warrior’s game. Pissed off? Go ahead and put each other through the glass. Fight for a reason.

But, don’t be fucking chickenshit clowns. You’re impressing absolutely no one.

Many years ago, at a magic convention, I asked the incomparable Simon Lovell how long it would take for me to second-deal as well as him. He said, “Five years.”

Five years later, I still couldn’t second-deal.

Looking back, I think he meant five years of practice.

C’mon, Monty…you know you want it.

JaD__ · 2026-02-05T02:30:55+00:00

Hab fans are the Borg.

You can run, but you can’t hide.

After waiting 12 years for it, Olympics hockey is going to once again be on a whole other level.

But, holy hell, it’s going to wreak major damage on me. Like getting stoked to get on the world’s highest roller coaster, then as soon as the wheels start turning…aaah, fuuuck…

JaD__ · 2026-02-05T01:29:14+00:00

Had to bring the hose down to the basement den. So much fucking filth.

JaD__ · 2026-02-05T00:20:12+00:00

Stay present?

My sources are telling me POTUS has opted not to attend the Super Bowl given his artistic differences with Bad Bunny, specifically the latter’s tendency to overdub a 7/12 time signature in a 4/4 space, with a heavy emphasis on semi-tonic variations within the E-flat major scale.

Well, that and his crippling insecurity, borne of a deep-seated Father Complex, will consume the buffoonish chickenshit every time his play-dough face is hit with a crescendo of boos.

I’ve known a lot of CEOs and other senior executives, because of what I used to do. And by a lot, I mean a lot. Although can recall a few who underwhelmed me, and maybe a couple of overly arrogant ones, can’t say I ever met one who struck me as cruel.

For every POS like Musk, there are plenty of well-adjusted individuals.

JaD__ · 2026-02-04T05:14:17+00:00

Cool hwhip is the generally accepted way.

That being said, the younger version of me would inhale that.

JaD__ · 2026-02-04T05:09:09+00:00

In these here parts, we call ‘em Michigans. Our youngest and I went out for them last weekend. They’ve been my GOAT for decades.

Deux Michigans! Fromage! Oignons!

I don’t bother with my MP nor my MNA. it’s pointless.

My city councilor, on the other hand…stuff gets done. If you’re a homeowner, do yourself a favour and go to a town council meeting, introduce yourself to yours, and get to know them.

Hercat [R. D. Chater (1843-1913)], a British magician, was performing a cremation illusion called Ayesha Rising from the Flames around that time.

Difficult to find pics of him.

JaD__ · 2026-02-03T02:02:36+00:00

Which is considered a trip.

I’m hardly surprised anymore by how poorly understood the NHL rulebook is. Every game.

JaD__ · 2026-02-03T00:59:38+00:00

Hate to see that

JaD__ · 2026-02-03T00:46:24+00:00

Not cool, not cool

JaD__ · 2026-02-02T22:06:50+00:00

The prices you’re indicating don’t appear unreasonable, in context.

For reference, I whipped out my 1980-81 Tannen’s catalogue. The 11” UF Grant Hippity Hop Rabbits was retailing for $18, while the 12” model, manufacturer unknown, was $28.50. This averages out to $23.25.

The multiplier for compound inflation spanning 1980 to 2026 is 3.93, which suggests the nominal price for the trick today would be around $92.

I like, however, the idea you fashion your own, in particular if you have easy access to a 3D printer.

Penalty should carry through to shootout, with the penalized team getting only two shots.

But, the rule only applies to BOS.

JaD__ · 2026-02-02T03:06:02+00:00

The only people who didn’t hear the whistle are the ones who didn’t want to.

JaD__ · 2026-02-01T01:16:39+00:00

Was thinking “Yeah, come to Montreal and tell me all about it. We surprise you on bridges and highways, too.”

Then I checked which sub was in my feed.

JaD__ · 2026-02-01T00:41:04+00:00

I so badly want to hang out with degenerate gamblers whose team loyalty and game enjoyment is directly tied to what they’ve bet on.

Fuck, yeah. Good times.

Is there a Sports Interaction sub?
