when i chose to watch the live watertown updates over the Sabres on tv tonight i thought i picked the death choice...

i actually blocked FoxNews on both tvs in my house years ago so one would have to jump through annoying hoops to get there.

yes i am proud of that.

2+ days in Dublin just because why not 7 days in Scotland - 2+ in Edinburgh then hired a car for 5 days. General route was up the A9 through the country, stopping at Pitlochry for tour of Edradour (Scotland's smallest distillery) to buy a bottle, dinner. Inverness. Muir of Ord for a tour of Glen Ord...

BBC showing ~10 cops at the ready presumably near the "boat" - i don't see any bodies or talk of such.

it'd only be slightly funny if it were a raccoon or a fishercat in there

MaxWebster

Town Diner - i used to eat there every week when i lived there. just bizarre.

serious shit going on right now for sure - police and ambulance flying.

MaxWebster

Drambuie is a Scottish liqueur.

(i now proclaim myself an expert having just returned from a week there. mmmmm)

kinda sweet. i prefer the single malt whisky myself but hey to each their own.

i'd be the easiest person on earth to smoke out. ...blast The Analog Kid and leave a trail of junior mints on the sidewalk... "GOT HIM!" Rush, an important bit of information here is that the house they're investigating is a block or two from All-Star. I think I speak for both of us when i...

fuck me. The terrorists have won.

reporter: "what do you think of America?"

of course i knew it was coming but it still makes me cringe. somebody let me know when the first sign of quality journalism is spotted.

MaxWebster

simple solution: less talk.

i understand everyone is frazzled to say the least, as am i. but the less said the better. i've had to change channels just out of embarrassment.

MaxWebster

i overslept and awoke to a lot of texts/etc. MBTA fully shut down (how i get into the city for work)... now Boston, my office, etc. i have to say that hearing the details of what happened in the past ~9hrs or so is absolutely surreal. That 7-11 is around the corner from where i worked for 7+ years -...

i cried a little on the inside last night. I was (am) a big JP fan. ok objectively the return is good, but these are the times when being a (non-objective) fan of players and the team sucks. <sigh> well, i have a team now - Go Wild. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar goes the population in POMINVILLE!

MaxWebster

good point; i just finished book 4 last night. definitely a "transitional" book.

i'm going to hold off a few years i think before i read 5, i'll wait until the series catches up. those books aren't easy to read, too long by 1/3 at least.

MaxWebster

without giving anything away, Book 3 was nearly nonstop "holyfuck!" territory. i didn't know this season would only address 1/2 the book, damn. and as for the softporn angle, the books are at times completely overwrought with unnecessary sex so it's just reflecting the original story. not ...

Also, Justin Verlander is going up against a lineup of someone, Mauer, someone, someone, someone, someone, someone, someone, and someone. from Getting Blanked today: The Minnesota Twins rotation to start the season looks like this: Vance Worley/Kevin Correia/Mike Pelfrey/Liam Hendriks/Cole DeVries....

MaxWebster

HA

fuck it, they deserve to finish 7th for making me end up pitying them after years of pitching to contact. and the Johan Santana debacle.

MaxWebster

apologies if this has already been done? i'm new to these parts so i'm not sure what you "message board" type people do... ALEast you could probably put in a hat, pick names, i'd be ok with any order, who the f knows... *=WC AL East 1. Tampa 2. Toronto* 3. Boston 4. New York 5. Baltimore C...

flew to left. he sucks.

up for the 3rd time now....

cynical reply: small sample size.

MaxWebster

now 7-3 early in the 2nd.

i'd watch but i'm too busy falling asleep to the sabres/panthers game...

MaxWebster

i know, that was awful....shit.

So where are you watching the BU tournament game this weekend?

MaxWebster

word, many thanks. already have Bob A on the tip as well as a few other contacts. Turns out our drummer is dating someone in YVR (inconvenient) and he may move there as well; anyways she's in the industry. if we did move there we'd look at it semi-temporarily and drastically downsize; 2 kids so look...

Poles between poles.

Final week of the season: Wigan v Villa. Might be the most lucrative game of the season.

MaxWebster

i clicked on this thread expecting to see some mspaint work.

disappointed.

<leavesroomwithoutwashinghands>

MaxWebster

we also might move to Dublin.

well, not both places at once. that would be expensive.

Mrs Max and i are traveling to Dublin next week for a few days then a week in Scotland. That last part will be all about the single malt.

MaxWebster

know of any software companies looking for a dashing and personable QA guy? i'm sure i could put them in touch with one <rimshot>

(not being 100% cheeky - so many tech guys are so myopically nerdy that they can't communicate well. I'M A PEOPLE PERSON DAMMIT!!!!!!!)

MaxWebster

ahhh...the love is strong in here. <home> (((fuckers))) hey speaking of posting in Vancouver AGAIN there's a not-insignificant chance we (the MW klan) may be moving to YVR in the fall. If there are any software-QA jobs that any of you BC chaps know about now's the time to tell me. Otherwise i'm stuc...

Cakes?
