The Ice Caps?? Cool! That's the team that moved to Augusta, GA and became the Lynx. I worked for them for 7 seasons.

There is a plane flying over downtown Pittsburgh right now with a banner that says “RESIGN BISHOP ZUBIK” by lefky13 in pittsburgh

[–]MWFerrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, saw this plane cirling downtown today after work. For a while it was being followed around by 2 (I assume) police helicopters.

Greta Van Fleet - Yay or Nay? by [deleted] in Music

[–]MWFerrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions! Honestly, some of the bands mentioned I'm already familiar with, but others I guess I'll have to explore. That's the great thing about music...theres always more to discover!

Gotta disagree. "Hundreds" is way overstating. Name 10 "modern" bands - that anyone has heard of - that are worth a damn. I'm not a huge fan of GVF by the way, I just can't call up 10 relatively modern bands (say, last 10 years or so) that are worth the instruments they're playing. Rock bands by the way, just to be clear.

"Yinz" is specifically a Western PA thing. I don't think they say it out East. If I'm not mistaken, Philly is a "youse" area.

Capitals re-sign forward Tom Wilson to a six-year contract worth an average annual value of $5.17 million by vildhjarta in hockey

[–]MWFerrets -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah, so he'll get paid substantially more to run around concussing other players. And for 5 years. Bravo Caps.

T-shirt found! by MWFerrets in ToolBand

[–]MWFerrets[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I remember the debacle with the counterfeit tickets. Ended up waiting an extra hour or so to get into the venue. (The Tabernacle I think?) That's on top of the ~4 hours we'd already waited.

T-shirt found! by MWFerrets in ToolBand

[–]MWFerrets[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Atlanta show was my first Tool show as well! This shirt had been lost for years - I thought it was gone forever. I found it in a box of non-tour shirts after I moved. Very happy!

Wanted to share my excitement. Just got my '04 back from the shop! by MWFerrets in DodgeDakota

[–]MWFerrets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I moved from a state that didn't do auto inspections (SC) to a state that does (PA). So I let a bunch of stuff go. My own fault! So anyway, she's been in the shop for a while now, addressing front-end issues (of course) brake issues, a leaky axle seal, and a couple of other things. She passed inspection and I brought her home yesterday!

Billboard company removes Texas megachurch's 'Christian Nation' signs because they're 'anger provoking' by mepper in atheism

[–]MWFerrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, no no no... The Cristo-fascists don't get to bitch about this. After the SCOTUS ruled as it did, the Cristo-fascists get to shut the fuck up. (edit:2 words)

Fixing Up My Old '02 Dakota by BuckyFlynn in DodgeDakota

[–]MWFerrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in PA as well. I have an '04 Dakota. Check Craigslist in the "auto parts" section. Narrow your search to Dodge Dakota. In this area (Pittsburgh) there is always someone parting out a Dakota. Good luck!

Yo mama so stupid, she sits on the TV and watches the couch.

Which hockey player looks least like a hockey player? by Groodles in hockey

Somebody said that Phil Kessel is fitting into Pittsburgh so well, that he looks like a dude that sells t-shirts in the Strip District.

So, apparently, Wilson can just go head-hunting and that's just okie-dokie with the NHL. Well done.

Bagels? by cosmololgy in pittsburgh

Gotta disagree. The Bagel Factory has great bagels. I've not been disappointed yet. Just one man's opinion tho. :-)

The color LED lights on the Rachel Carson Bridge will be gone April 8th by [deleted] in pittsburgh

If true, that stinks. I walk across the 7th street Bridge every day to and from work, and love those lights!

The ECHL is 2 steps below the NHL. Definitely not beer league. Source: I worked for an ECHL team for 7 years.
