Upon returning from their elimination from the Western Conference Finals Tuesday...

But they were eliminated from the Western Conference Finals at home.

The Supreme Court also tends to pick cases that aren't particularly controversial. Even the controversial cases tend only to have one clear legal answer, that just isn't very well understood by the public. And most of the truly controversial holdings are only controversial to lawyers, and of lawyers only (some) legal scholars. I mean, the local public defender probably doesn't care about the recent case about the Hatch-Waxman Act. Hell, I'm sure most legal scholars couldn't care less.

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand, or so I have read.

You mean, rape-play, right?

Right?

Good point. This isn't about legalizing polygamous relationships. Open marriages are legal. This is moreso about legalizing the provision of marital benefits to more than one person, per person. As it is, for all intents and purposes, everything about polygamy is legal except the legal recognition of that marriage. You could have a formal marriage ceremony, but it just won't mean anything legally.

I agree with you, but strictly speaking, the use of the term is a sign of discrimination, as when the term is no longer in use, that would too be a sign of acceptance. But of course it is not discrimination in and of itself.

So the image is rather pointless, but you're both technically correct.

Brodeur looks like he's recovering from a heart attack.

Its not being shallow either, who wants to get involved with someone who can't even take care of themselves and is probably going to die way earlier than they should?

It's not being shallow (or maybe it is, technically), but if I'm honest, I am not thinking about a person's life expectancy when I refuse to date them because they are fat and/or ugly. So it's a bit disingenuous to say otherwise.

Right? It's a grocery store, not a casino.

I used to be a cashier, so I like to organize my groceries as they ought to be bagged.

However, they're supposed to be trained to bag your groceries properly, so even if you don't help them, that's no excuse.

Except when the cashier is attractive. Then he/she won't talk to you.

If most employees do at least what is asked of them, even minimally, then it would be more or less impossible for 10% of employees to do 90% of the work.

So do a small number of people do a lot of work? Of course. Some people work more than others. But this 10/90 rule is utterly nonsensical.

No. The point was to demonstrate negative stereotypes of Americans as differentiated from Europeans.

There are countless differences, stereotypical or otherwise, between Americans and Europeans. Guns is the only difference in that list that isn't (or at least shouldn't be) negative in nature.

Oh, Belfour...

Early in the 2000-01 season, on October 20, Belfour plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge in which Belfour was subdued by police after a woman he was with became frightened by an intoxicated Belfour in a Dallas hotel room. While under arrest and being transported to the local division, he allegedly offered Dallas police officers one billion dollars for his release without charges.

The most effective way to con money is not to ask for money - at least not up front. I am in no way saying it's a scam, but to say it's not a scam because she didn't ask for money is rather foolish.

"Con" is short for "confidence trick." Accordingly, the key point of a con is to gain another person's confidence, and one of the easiest (and most effective) ways to do this is to create several "layers" between what you're asking for and what you want. Ideally, you want your mark to come up with the desired "solution" him or herself, without asking for or even hinting toward it.

Like I said, I am in no way saying we should suspect this to be a con, but this is important information to know, and one should of course always be cautious in situations like these.

You really shouldn't be doing anything at the volume of a scream for sustained periods of time in an apartment complex. That is simply rude, and I think it's silly how readily we like to chalk just about anything up to "how uncomfortable with sex our society is."

Okay. But you don't see a sea of red at MSG. And no one seems to be "snatch[ing] up" those tickets during the presales.

Fake shots are difficult to execute without good offensive awareness and positioning, of which Kovalchuk's are second to none. You can't just say, "Hey guys, let's just do some fake shots," or it's gonna result in a lot of turnovers in a lot of vulnerable positions where you really can't afford it. But yeah, the Devils may want to work on that in practice...

To the discussion below:

I think everyone can agree that Brodeur, Hasek, and Roy are the best goaltenders of their era, but the order is different for everyone. That is a testament to the quality of goaltending in that era: It's pretty remarkable that we can even narrow it down to three, but I think we can. But we can't narrow it down further. There are too many variables - different teams, different play styles, different everything. To even try to narrow the list down further is a fruitless effort.
