Comments on: Good night: It could be worse http://thetwolinepass.com/2009/10/good-night-it-could-be-worse/ The Nashville Predators' No. 1 rival Wed, 08 Sep 2010 00:24:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Dean http://thetwolinepass.com/2009/10/good-night-it-could-be-worse/#comment-15153 Dean Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:10:05 +0000 http://thetwolinepass.com/?p=1546#comment-15153 I'm a Bruins fan from Boston, just writing to say good luck with Phil Kessel. He's a pompous, arrogant prick. He turns the puck over constantly because he can't deke or stickhandle, yet he insists on breaking out alone against 2+ defenders over and over again. The guy thinks he's Gretzky. He has 66 career goals and 106 career points and wanted $7.5 million a year from the Bruins. That should tell you something. Kessel is the LAST thing the Leafs need right now. Trade him and picks for Ilya Kovalchuk. I’m a Bruins fan from Boston, just writing to say good luck with Phil Kessel.

My generation was actually taught vocabulary. We know all sorts of neat words that you would probably have to look up. To answer your question: Sure, go ahead and make jokes about car accidents and terrorists. It reveals much about your character and the lack of empathy you feel toward those who have suffered a great loss. I always appreciate it when I am granted insight to a person's frame of mind. With great regret, civilian casualties will always been a part of war. The difference between "us" and "them" is that we don't target civilians - they do. If you don't see the profound difference between the two ideologies, I can't help you. It is customary to get an education before you formulate an opinion. Feel free to do so. Congratulations on learning that "thesaurus" is not a name for an ancient reptile. @ Fox…Only a youngster, such as you evidently are, would think that a thesaurus would be required by a person in order to use the term “imprudent”.

As of right now, the Laffs are enjoying their worst start to a season OF ALL TIME. Also, I loved seeing my Sabres wreak all sorts of havoc last night. Nice to see those wonky stats observed, TLP.

Are we still allowed to make cracks about Dany Heatley? Pelle Lindbergh? Tim Horton? Maybe I believe that U.S. America is fighting a war of imperialism by sending under-educated cannon fodder to firebomb innocent women and children in foreign countries. Are we allowed to joke reference the ambivalent greed and opaque motives of the characters in Three Kings? The jingoism of Blackhawk Down? Top Gun's explicit gayness? "Imprudent." Cool word. I have a thesaurus too: "effete." "Douchebag." 30,000 Canadians are year lose a close relative to automobile accidents. Are we still allowed to make cracks about Dany Heatley? Pelle Lindbergh?

“Imprudent.” Cool word. I have a thesaurus too: “effete.”

“Douchebag.”

By implying that Mr Burke might contemplate such a move, you threaten the tenuous relationship between the two men that dates from Mr Burke's recommendation of a particular surgeon skilled in scruplectomies to Mr Jobs; the relationship depends in a large part of Mr Burke continuing to pursue a large fish/small pond policy in regards to press opportunities, and such a strategy would be inconsistent with any appearance on either (a) a broadcast or cable channel available to more than 30% of the viewers in any market which it appears, or (b) a page number lower than six in any surviving daily print media.
