Not that I really expect a different outcome from the last two times I posted on here about this, but here we go!!!!

-Druid FC fundraiser PUBCRAWL!!! (yes, that last bit was meant to be yelled)
-Sat feb 11 for the low low low price of $15 with a freeee slapchop electric blanket hybrid (statement about slapchop electric blanket hybrid was not intended to be a factual statement)
-We are starting at the brewhouse south, then off to the billiards club, a mystery stop ( I really have no idea where the third stop is, and the bus ride is the best part anyways), and then finishing at the old strathcona Rack. (but really, we are taking you to the moon!!! its that good!!!(moon not included))

so, um, yeah, scream really loud if you want to come. (I've got great hearing)

So, apparently, at a recent LA Kings/Columbus Blue Jackets game, the score was tied 2-2 late in the game, when LA scored with 0.6 seconds left to win it 3-2. Except, it seems, that the clock appeared to have stopped for 1 second during the last 3 seconds of game time. The Columbus GM was not amused. On the other hand, Dean Lombardi, GM of the LA Kings, apparently, was:

"Those clocks are sophisticated instruments that calculate time by measuring electrical charges called coulombs," explained Kings general manager Dean Lombardi in an email to TSN. "Given the rapidity and volume of electrons that move through the measuring device the calibrator must adjust at certain points which was the delay you see – the delay is just recalibrating for the clock moving too quickly during the 10 - 10ths of a second before the delay - this insures that the actual playing time during a period is exactly 20 minutes. That is not an opinion - that is science - amazing devise quite frankly."

Uh... speaking of Star Wars:

It's the complete A New Hope, as done by EVERYBODY, in 15 second pieces (i.e. every 15 seconds, the style, scenery and actors change, but the story continues in order...) it's pretty fascinating. ... not that I'm recommending you watch all 2 hours of it, but look at a bit of it, at the very least. There's everything from hand-drawn-cartoons to Reboot-style animation, to full-cast retellings to hand puppets and even a toddler Leia.

Alison, that is one of the greatest finds in the history of things.

Dear Vancouver,

When you use an umbrella in the snow as if it is rain, you look stupid.

Hey guys! You have to read this, it's totally hilarious.

It's a blog post by manboobz.com about the oppression of men by female characters in video games. ... and it's surprisingly entertaining and interesting, as the blogger breaks apart the misogynist comments from gamers who think even video game designers have decided that men are the enemy and deserve to suffer...

"Clearly nuns are incapable of manlike swordplay, though it is true that they are capable reenacting famous internet panda sneeze videos. (I have seen video proof of this.) But Shogun 2 does not depict them sneezing like pandas. It depicts them fighting.

This is an outrage because video games are meant to be a perfectly accurate reflection of reality. Obviously there is nothing even slightly unrealistic about any of this:"

That was awesome, I especially like the "Press A to forget this entire plotline"
