My Magikarp is immune to other Magikarp's splash attacks

A blogger, and that really tells you all you need to know.
Scott's hit was awful, and it sucks that the player is injured...
But where is the NHLPA in all this? I think it was Kypreos or McLean that mentioned this yesterday - where is the union here? Shouldn't someone be providing some leadership here?

After the last few years I'm always prepared for disaster. There are no excuses though, we should be able to win without Johnson for a few games, they just need to keep up the team defense.
Babs is learning!!! Though Dats and Z are split up and they were dominant together.
We'll still find a way to lose
No you won't. You're playing the Rangers man. Have you not seen them play this year?
Just score 2-3 goals and you'll be OK. Don't worry, Talbot probably won't be in net.

What about Chara and Lucic? (devil's advocate)
Same thing, the fact that Chara can get away with giving a guy a head shot 20 feet from the puck and cross check a kid like Hertl in the face is fucking ridiculous.

I thought that was a jacking off gif at first.

This does not surprise.
8 year contract.
Remember this post.
Your posts everyday make me laugh. Glad you're finally playing again.
Pls take it easy on us tonight Babby Ryan/Ottawa. Ducks are playing like they did under Carlye's last year
I'm glad to have something to talk about other than fishing trips and Derek Roy seeing Captain Phililps! For instance, after their entire week off, the Blues have played the fewest amount of games in the league!
Let's see
Blues team, well rested, hasn't played since Saturday, healthy
Canucks team, back-to-back, has had 4 games since Saturday, backup goalie starting, only 9 forwards healthy to play
... yeah, it's gonna be crazy.

Decided to evolve Fennekin after learning Flamethrower.
It looks awfully feminine. But mine is male.
I guess it's like having a male Kirlia.
Honedge is popular because of its typing. Plus it looks cool.

I think crazy describes it, yeah. The Blues are pretty good at forgetting how to play hockey after too much rest. Though it sounds like the guys are still pissed after the loss to Winnipeg a week ago. Maybe that will partially offset the handicap.
Aegislash has great stats, too. And amazing typing. AND a great ability. King's Shield & attack combo if you make it slow means it barely gets scratched.
(king's shield priority puts it into defense mode, then opponent attacks. Then opponent attacks again while you're in defense mode because he's faster, then you attack as blade mode. Then you put priority king's shield again which puts you into defense mode to prepare for his attack, rinse and repeat)

Oh, so going +Speed wasn't the best nature. Oh well it's not a competitive team.
My Timid Squirtle has higher Attack than Special Attack right now. And they nerfed Hydro Pump wtf.

Incentive to root for the Panthers is that if they win you might get to go to a better game.
It's not worth being stuck in traffic to go to/from the game, for sure.

You'd think with only 1400 people at the game, traffic would be light.
I don't know why, but this map made me laugh. Philly, wtf are you doing
Also this one. so random.
The other maps are pretty interesting, too. As someone not from NA/Canada originally, it was fun to compare myself to where my pronounciation matches to.
E.g. I pronounce syrup as sear-up, which apparently only people in the northeast/NJ/NY area say? Whah.

I was glad when I saw that most Americans pronounce Mary/merry/marry the same, and then checked and found my wife was one of them. She likes to bug me about pronouncing talk and torque the same.
... wtf is wrong with you? How do those two even remotely sound the same? :lol

And there in lies the problem.
Just a quirk of the NZ accent, I guess.
http://veggieboston.blogspot.com/2009/09/rhotic-and-non-rhotic-accents.html
I find the idea of not being able to hear the difference between Mary, merry, and marry equally horrifying.
So wait, do you pronounce "talk" like "tork", or "torque" like "talk" (like stalk without the s or walk with a t)? or some weird middle-ground pronounciation?
There are good counters for this. Aegislash is great but gimmicky stuff like that tends to get snuffed out.
There's counters to most things, but for a not-super-competitive setup it's a great Pokemon with an inherent combo.
Both sound closer to "tork".

Dialect quirks are fun. As some whose lived in S. Fla, Bay Area in California, Hampton Roads area in Virginia, and Atlanta I've lived with a lot differences in dialects. VA is unique because there is a lot of the New England dialect in that small area of southern Virginia. I lived in Portsmouth but the pronounciation was "Port-Smith," Norfolk was "Nor-Fuk." While here in GA I cannot stand the southern twang and drawl I love the sound of the Appalacian dialect. For that you get Appalacia as "Apple-at-cha." From Miami you get a Hispanic take on English dialect. Like caramel is "kara-MEL" more like Spanish. Though it is far more a melting pot of different dialects in S.Fla because of all the migrants.
i could probably breed you a fennekin and bulb, a squirtle or evolution of him to breed him.
Just the basic lvl1 is fine
Tye McGinn, Philly's leading goal scorer with 3 goals in 4 games (wtf?) is getting sent back down to the AHL (WTF LOL)
So CakeBoss, if you think Zibby has it bad, just look at wtf Philly is doing and be happy about your team because...LOOOOOOL.

I said that forever ago! I would rather him get more ice time in the AHL than play 10 minutes a game.
