HA! I thought that was an HBO one in my head. Yes, this is everyone's homework assignment to watch this long weekend. Mike and I both want to come back as John Spano in our next life hahah. Minus the jail time of course

Eat the f***ing rich.

So much for the UMass football experiment. All I ask is that they a have a good hockey program. The best way to help the football program would be to allow toking tailgates.


Mark Whipple out as UMass football coach (report)

Arugula and mixed field greens are where it’s at for salad.

Iceberg lettuce is for tacos only.

I’m into Shaws Organic half & half blend : baby spinach & spring mix

Add Primal Kitchen salad dressing and it’s speedo time this summer

Ex-Isles 'owner' Spano gets 10 years for forgery

CLEVELAND -- A man who once tried to pull off an audacious scam to buy the National Hockey League's New York Islanders was sentenced to 10 years in prison for another fraud case in northeast Ohio.

John Spano Jr., 50, pleaded guilty last month to 16 counts of forgery after being accused of collecting thousands of dollars in commissions from false accounts he'd created while working as a salesman for a company that provides linens to health care facilities. Spano, who was born in New York City, was raised in northeast Ohio.

I started drinking a New Riesling that got quite acidic as it got warmer so rather than deal with regular ice cubes (which I don’t have. I hate ice, I know I’m strange), I bought the 4 pack of these stainless steel cubes to try and I just bought the 8 pack to make a set of 12.


They are fantastic! Keeps the wine perfectly chilled without dilution.

If the wine is chilled, 1 cube works but if it isn’t chilled all the way, you’ll need 2.

They work better if you use them in whiskey.

Happy Thanksgiving Bruins fans. Eat well, drink well, be well.

Not a big whiskey fan but I wonder how they do with amaretto...

All these parents that brought their tiny kids to the TG parade in NYC should be arrested for child abuse

Id suggest making sure they weren’t manufactured in China.
That source is notorious for lead in the stainless steel process. Some items ( water bottles, pet bowls, etc.) at toxic levels. Then trace a ounts of mercury too.

 

[LouJersey]

Speaking of the parade I think I secretly throughly enjoy show tunes and I’m not sure what to make of it

I partake in neither these days but when I did, never understood ice or mixes for that matter. I was less of a hard liquor drinker but when I did, straight no chaser/ice

This plus shooting down a shot. Don't understand it. Fine whiskey is to be sipped. Enjoy the flavor.

Just had a little flashback.
Hated the outcomes of those finals against The Oilers - however I loved being able to get tickets to every one of those games in Edmonton - like it was nothing. I never lived there but it wasn't brutally expensive nor were the tickets hard to get or anything.
I miss those days when you could just pick up tickets to The Finals. Figure four of us Bruins fans picking up tickets to the game, getting there, beers and food is probably less than me just going to a Canucks game nowadays (although this team is finally getting likeable again).

yep, wasn`t a shooter guy either, when I "inhaled" I did so by rolling, wasn`t into the bongo/pipe scene

@Gee Wally didn't one of your kids attend UMass-Amherst??? My nephew is thinking of transferring there for next fall.
