did Kipper start? - Guy Feb 26, 12:33 7

I know next to nothing about this game, yet if I were a certain coach, I would have instructed for the pace to be slowed down about 10 minutes ago -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:33 4
- heh ... - Beryllium Feb 26, 12:36 3
  - not that coach, I think its a rhythymic game, like basketball -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:39
  - It's a semi-final at the Olympics against a usually good team, you never slow down IMO - Guigue Feb 26, 12:39 1
    - if you can't compete at that pace, you should -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:40
No Bronx cheer for the goalie making a save? - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:33 1
- If they were in MTL they would. One of the most classic sarcasm cheers of all-time happen there. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 12:35
Anyone got a current total for shots on goal? -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:32 4
- 12-3. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 12:33 3
  - So, 50% accuracy? -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:34 2
    - Heh. "They are almost 50% from the field. I think Jim Boeheim might take that." -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:41
    - makes no sence - Danedukenuuk Feb 26, 12:36
wowie, it's *really* windy here. -- nm - b. Feb 26, 12:32
The theater thing reminds me of (LOST exec. producer) Lindelof's recent tweet to show fans: - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:31
After this period, I believe they will be holding a drawing to see who the goalie will be the rest of the way. I'm guessing the dude in seat 402:R:14 -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:31 2
- I blame the defensemen for not grabbing by now. After about 4, you have to hit someone in the face with a stick. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:32 1
  - The good news is they had 47 minutes to get it all back. :) -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:35
Did they send the women's team? -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 12:28 6
- The women's team would be more competitive (and I think we can drop the spoils now). -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:31 2
  - (since others already did, might as well save typing.) -- nm - b. Feb 26, 12:35
  - spoils - Li'l Jon Feb 26, 12:33

  - Apparently they let the Finnish women play this game. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:29 1
    - a bit of a spoil - Beryllium Feb 26, 12:33
What hockey round is this, and what are the implications? - JaxSean Feb 26, 12:27 4
- This is a semi-final.....winner gets a medal on Sunday; loser goes to the bronze medal game. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:28 1
  - at this rate they shouldn't even show up to the bronze medal game -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 26, 12:29
- If the US wins they play for gold -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 12:28
- Semis - winner in the finals -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 26, 12:28
Hockey spoils - CQ Feb 26, 12:27 1
- o.f.f.s - YAAAAY!!! -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:27

Is Zach Parise a good NHL player? I assume he is in the NHL -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:20 5
- There's only a handful of non-NHLers left in the tournament, none on the US or Canada. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 12:23 2
  - Didn't they just say Jack Johnson out of the University of Michigan? -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 26, 12:30 1
    - He was just called up to the team when the real players decided they were tired and done for the day. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:32
- He's playing for the Devils currently. He's playing out of his mind this tourney. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:21

Danish paper apologises for printing Muhammad cartoon -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Feb 26, 12:15 1
- And nobody cares, it seems -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 13:07
I'm almost sorry that theatre VP apologized. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:14 28
- He was probably smart to apologize, but boy oh boy I feel for him. - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:30 4
  - dude needs to find another line of work if he lets his temper get the better of him like that, though... -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 12:34 3
    - I'm sort of suprised he still has a job. - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 12:39 1
      - I've certainly been in a position dealing with customers that would inspire a similar response. - znufrii Feb 26, 12:42
    - I'm hoping it was a "straw that broke the camel's back" thing and that he didn't go from zero to flying off the handle. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:35
- Doesn't accept VISA and the ATM is down? BFD. Get over it. Employee checking to tickets while the movie is playing? obsurd. - sycor Feb 26, 12:28
- I think this is a perfect example of the consumer power of social media. - David Feb 26, 12:22 7
  - if I was president of that chain that VP would be fired on the spot. No question. None after that 1st email. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 12:35
  - A customer's got to be a lot more abusive and unreasonable, and I mean a lot, before "GFY" enters a manager's vocabulary. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 12:26 4
    - In reality, I agree. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:31 1
      - I don't think she deserved to have her ass kissed, at all. - Subversive Feb 26, 12:36
    - I don't think there's one single situation where it should. - Subversive Feb 26, 12:30
    - agreed -- nm - sycor Feb 26, 12:28
  - I mostly agree. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:24
- I must have missed a couple ST episodes. I really wish there were recaps :) -- nm - oblique Feb 26, 12:21 1
  - Look at the Consumerist link on the top of b2 or the group Hyde joined on FB. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:22
- I disagree, everything she complained about was valid. - Subversive Feb 26, 12:17 11
  - I think what she complained about was valid, but she did it in a pretty condescending way -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 12:18 9
    - yep -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 12:21
    - Well, she is the customer. -- nm - Subversive Feb 26, 12:19 7
      - eh. $18 doesn't give anyone the right to be an asshole. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 12:21 6
        
        She was snarky, as I would be after the experience she had. - Subversive Feb 26, 12:25 5
        
        Snarky is fine, but it doesn't usually get you what you want. You don't read a letter like hers and automatically think "we'd better fix things" - Roger More Feb 26, 12:35 2
        
        This is my point. She probably should have expected somewhat of a snarky response, given the tone of her e-mail. - Subversive Feb 26, 12:37
        
        Take out the two sentences that contained the F-Bombs, and he probably gets by going snark for snark. But, once he went there... -- nm - flavorize Feb 26, 12:37
        
        Whole-heartedly disagree about the tone. It was downright rude. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:29
        
        exactly. Not "asshole" at all imo. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 26, 12:26
  - right. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 26, 12:17
I didn't think Art Buchwald was that tall. Ender, do you find yourself involuntarily straightening up when you're around anyone like 6-4 or taller? -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 12:13 2
- SFAN, yes I do. -- nm - Ender Feb 26, 15:35
- (this question is for the talls) Yes I do. -- nm - Spawn Feb 26, 12:19
On the flip side -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 12:11 3
- 3 1/2 inch floppy ain't gonna cut it -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 26, 12:14
- On the down low. -- nm - Spawn Feb 26, 12:12 1
  - On the QT -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 12:13
