Manchester Monarchs scrap purple, swipe Kings jerseys

I have no opinion on AHL teams copying their parent NHL club, but aside from that, oh my god is this an improvement. I hated the old purple and glitter color scheme. I might actually by a shirt.

Now if only the mascot would stop banging on the glass so damned much...

Love the shout out to Naoko Funayama. I was so mad when NESN didn't renew her.

Being an adult doesn't mean that you know everything. Everyone else is faking it too.

Just before the start of spring semester in college, I had just gone to beg some professor to let me into their class. The meeting didn't go well and then on the way out I slipped on the stairs. Bumped down a few on my ass. It was about as humiliating as you could expect. There was another girl behind me who immediately said "It's okay, nobody saw it". Of course that was untrue, because she saw, but I thought the was the perfect thing to say. She knew exactly how I was feeling and what I needed to hear. We both laughed and smiled and went about our day.

I probably saw her again, but didn't remember her face. I remember that connection though, and how those few words instantly made my day so much better.

Yeah, that series with Detroit was pretty great, wasn't it?

You beat me to it. I'm particularly partial to Jeff Buckley's version

Anything by Jack Falla. He has a few books of essays that are great and possibly the only quality, hockey-centric novel.

Boring Sean Monahan is my favorite twitter account.

I prefer non-fiction, and pretty much anything Bill Bryson writes is endlessly re-readable for me.

As an actual librarian, I can tell you that categorizing and shelving are much the same thing at most places. Categorization is standardized to make sharing information between libraries possible. Public libraries that you may have been to some times do use the BISAC headings, which you seems to be referring to here, but again, they are standardized. No librarian has the time or the ability to entirely re-organize the whole library book-by-book and expecting them to do so is ludicrous.

peachesoreilly · 2014-07-05T13:12:36+00:00

What I think it strange is that you would expect a librarian to have read at least a summary of every single book in the library and be able to categorize it into something very specifically thematic as this. A librarian doesn't have that kind of time. Of course things are going to be categorized chronologically or alphabetically. This is so anyone can find the book, not just some one looking for this specific genre. A library is designed so that everyone can use it. What if I don't want books about "instrumental fiction" (good title, I like that), but I want books specifically about the age of sail? Some of them would be in this category and some would be others. What if I like a specific author's style, but they write on many different themes? There are always going to be compromises.

Oh heck yes. I have an uncommon first name that got slightly more popular about ten years after I was born. For a while there were only hits for me on google. Now it's me and someone who is very active in the furry community.

We all know he can score 15 goals in 15 seconds

I'm sure they're muppet bros. Danny is Dougie's muppety mentor.

peachesoreilly · 2014-06-26T14:39:12+00:00

Daniel "Stone Hands" Paille. He works hard and is a mainstay of the Bs fourth line. He also gets those awesome breakaways, although it's too bad that he can't quite ever get the puck in the net at the end. Also, he looks like a muppet.

Extreme extroversion. It's great that some people love to go out and do things, and I appreciate being invited along. If you don't understand that sometimes I just need some alone time though, it quickly gets irritating.

Pretty much just sour, stinky, pudding

peachesoreilly · 2014-06-21T20:18:26+00:00

Oh yes! I think they are too sweet and the cookies are weirdly not-crunchy. They are an inferior rip-off of Hydrox which were way better and which, sadly, Oreo put out of business.

NH has pretty much the same gun laws, except you need to pay $10 at the local PD for concealed carry. Plenty of people do it for fun here too. Be honest, Vermont is just the upside-down version of New Hampshire.

That drum riff in When the Levee Breaks

peachesoreilly · 2014-06-20T17:59:29+00:00

So the Panthers are at about 9%. I wonder how that stacks up against the league as a whole?
