OT: 2019 OT Non-Ski Resort Thread

[MS]

Yeah I'm a data nerd. Spent the last ten years on data architecture, development, integration, cleansing, analysis, etc.

There has been a high demand in baseball for people with my skills. I would be helping the operations dept with all the data they get from various sources and making sense of it all.

I wish I had a story for ya but it really isn't something I'd been angling for or anything. The reds posted a job posting and I applied. I do have a bit of an edge because I used to do part time work for baseball prospectus, which is an analytics website that has produced a ton of talent that has gone on to write for high profile publications or work for major league teams. Putting that on my resume was a definite help but really it was like any other job, I just applied.

They are supposed to pick their top 2 or 3 and fly them out to Cincy next week for the in person interview so if I even get that far I'll be pretty happy.

That is seriously cool. Congrats.

Perhaps you can convince them that trading two excellent prospects for a year - when they have zero chance of making the postseason - of Yasiel Puig and replacement-level Matt Kemp is maybe not the best idea.

How strong is your kung fu?

As strong as these guys'?

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Good luck in Cinci @Melvin . I hope you get the job.

So anyone been to Iceland?

A buddy and I are debating a trip somewhere this year and he wants to do Iceland but I’m leaning towards japan.

Anyone know what there is to do in Iceland?

Never been but I’ve had friends go. It’s very nature oriented. Also very expensive (especially if you like to drink)

If you want a trip built around the outdoors do it lots of cool stuff to see. If you want to be in a city partying might want to think about else where.

I wonder if Team Iceland's head coach would be interested in coaching the Canucks?

I can tell you there would be instant retaliation if anybody so much as breathes on EP in the future!

I would rather have the smash brothers and a guy with some rope.

I may look into the trainer, or tutor of his team though.

As a kid, finding out Iceland wasn't actually a hockey super power was very confusing.

Catch fish and ship them to Japan for Sushi.

Cut out the middle man. Go to Japan.

My mother in law found this hat for me. I was quite surprised to see the logo embroidered with a green outline (the way it should be!)

I don't think I've ever seen it this way on official merchandise before...? And I like it so much more... on a blue background, you actually have Vancouver colors rather than Tampa/Toronto.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

We are less than two weeks away from hosting the Montreal Canadiens Alumni in Kitimat. I’ve been invited to play on their team during the game (time to get the puck off my stick as fast as possible...). They’re bringing Steve Shutt, Chris Nilan, Richard Sevigny, Patrice Brisebois, Marc-Andre Bergeron, Lucien Deblois, Oleg Petrov, Pierre Dagenais, Jesse Belanger, Jocelyn Lemieux and Brian Skrudland. They’ll be running a minor hockey camp for almost 300 kids the day before the big game, too. Hopefully this is as big of a success as the Canuck Alumni game was last year (we raised just about $21,000 for community non profits with that one).

 

[racerjoe]

Best of luck to you. I find good players make you look better than you are.

It already sounds like it will be a great success, just giving 300 kids a chance to learn is a win.

It’s been an ordeal to organize, that’s for sure, but the payoff should be sweet - in addition to the kids hockey camp, they’re doing a coach clinic for our local minor hockey coaches, and then of course the game, which we are hoping sells out. They’re playing against a team of local police and firefighters.

that 21 savage news is hilarious

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Superbowl is 3-3 with 12:23 left in the 4th quarter.

Boring to the power of boring.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Tom Brady GOAT

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Now 13-3 Pats with 21 seconds left.

Amish quilting bees have more suspense and excitement.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

That's game. God I hate the Patriots.

 

[member 290103]

Pathetic game by Goff and the Rams offense. One of the most boring Super Bowls ever.

 

[GetFocht]

I had no idea that Tom Brady was still playing, I suppose I live in a hockey bubble.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

That's game. God I hate the Patriots.

You hate a dynasty team ?

 

[PM]

You hate a dynasty team ?

I hate pretty much all the dynasty teams in every sport.

That was not only the worst Super Bowls but one of the worst football games in general ever.

 

[MS]

Unless it’s my dynasty team, f*** yes.

I do respect Tom Brady and his incredibly hot wife, however.

 

[Fire Benning]

f*** the Patriots

 

[Hit the post]

**** the Patriots

**** Boston.
