Tank Thread and Tanking GDT XVII: The Tank Must Go On (San Jose @ Arizona)

[BornBuffaloFan]

I spent $600 in free shots here in Tucson. I was at the native restaurant where the Bills backers are

which bar

 

[Der Jaeger]

Concern is still a form of fear as in "we can still blow this"

Whatever. Paint folks who don't think your way however you want.

We are mathematically still not in 30th. Based on what's at stake, I'm concerned. Not "anxiously concerned." Certainly not afraid.

How do you spend $600 on something that's free?

Actually, nevermind, I just did my sister's taxes for her. It's possible.

Okay ****ers. You have 20 posts left in this thread to argue about your definitions of fear. But in tank thread version 18 there will be none of that crap!

Eichel gets it.

“It’s kind of a bizarre thing to think about — that fans are cheering against their team, hoping that they lose,” he said. “But I guess, really, they’re just excited about the future.”

Malkin is back. In case we need the Pens game. Hopefully we can have fun that game.

 

[Der Jaeger]

lol really?

Which is awesome, because you just proved my argument. Well done.

1.
a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.
Synonyms: foreboding, apprehension, consternation, dismay, dread, terror, fright, panic, horror, trepidation, qualm.
Antonyms: courage, security, calm, intrepidity.

There is not one word in that definition which describes anyone on this board. Those types of emotions come mostly in life threatening situations, or where loved ones are at dangers, etc.

.
a specific instance of or propensity for such a feeling:
an abnormal fear of heights.
Synonyms: phobia, aversion; bête noire, bogy, bogey, bugbear.
Antonyms: liking, fondness, penchant, predilection.

I'm not sure anyone has a phobia or any of this here.

.
concern or anxiety; solicitude:
a fear for someone's safety.

The situation is fear of safety.

This is all well over the top of what anyone thinks right now. But you did find "concern" in the definition. Must be true.

Someone should have him talk with Mike Weber

 

[ZZamboni]

After the first few shots, He just kept throwing $50's on the bar after every shot. Not to mention he bought the entire bar drinks ..... 3 times

Could the next tank thread be the last tank thread?

The end of an era

 

[Husko]

Wow. I can't believe this thread right now. To quote my main man Mike Weber: 'new low."

 

[Husko]

I've said before that the night we clinch at midnight the tank thread should be locked and done away with forever

 

[Karate Johnson*]

Any time anyone mentioned "Fear" all I think of is Marky Mark fingering Reese Witherspoon on a roller coaster.

Good times.

Fair enough. I'm afraid then. As someone who's met the definition for #1 multiple times over the past 15 years of war, I'm going to be OK with it. Glad you're tougher than that.

Yep, the college boy should be able to explain things in a clear and concise manner.

Why?

Buffalo luck. I also consider myself a pragmatist - assume the worst and even under the worst case scenario, I won't be surprised.
