    Gavin got a reaction from Tank in Zodiac Signs Changed By NASA — Has Your Whole Life Been A Lie?   
    I don't know if there is anything that's dumber than people believing their "presence" is determined by horoscope signs. Any time I see a person post their horoscopes on Facebook, or any other social media source, I immediately know that he/she is: 1) an emotional nutcase 2) not the sharpest tool in the shed 3) most likely promiscuous and 4) an easy target on a Saturday night.

    Gavin got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Wells Fargo   
    Worked as a personal banker from 2012-2013. Everything the Wells and that twat Eshet say that didn't happen is a bold faced lie. I worked in sales for three years after and never felt more sales pressure than when I was there. All for 35k in salary and a max of about 10-15k in commissions. 
    The shady bankers would call some of the stuff that's being released in these stories as the "gray area"; where the white is legal and black area is totally illegal (I know that sounds racist... Don't shoot the messenger). In order to be successful, bankers had to live in the gray area. I only hit commission once in my time at Wells because I didn't believe in the practices they were preaching. "Open vacation accounts" or "your customer has a credit card offer, call him/her day or night and make sure you close. If he/she says no, then call in two weeks and ask again." 
    I'm part of the class action lawsuit for Personal Bankers against Wells that was filed a while back. For those who haven't heard about that, the suit claims that Wells forced bankers to stay after hours on Saturdays (branches close at 4) to make sales calls without pay for those hours. So if our schedule included working on Saturday, we would only be allowed to post a 38 hour work week on out time card. All of which is absolutely true and absolutely bull shit.

    Toronto wouldn't do that. Especially with the gremlin that is Lou Lamoriello in the fold. 
    I'm hoping for a Fowler, Tatar swap with a plus coming from the Wings.

    i wish they had kept perron - he was such a great fit with getz.
    and just go sign hudler. dude scored 76 pts two years ago. his shot percentage, and team shot percentage with him on the ice, is like top 5 in the league. he's legit. just sign him.
    perron - getz - hudler
    fowler swap (tatar, etc) - rakell - perry, or rakell - fowler swap (rnh, etc) - perry
    cogs - kesler - silf
    whatevers on the 4th line.
    guess ritchie will likely play somewhere. not sure where, hope he's getting into better shape as we speak.

    And there lies the problem. Plenty of black people have told them to STFU. The vast majority of black people don't kill anybody. Yet they are expected to clean up the mess of other black people because they are black. Like you said. A few dipshits. How are blacks who aren't involved in this more responsible for cleaning it up than anyone else?

    Howe was the epitome of a hockey player: tough, skilled, and a great guy from all accounts. He's one of the very few players who perpetuated the sport.

    Stephens saying the search is almost over. He has a decent amount on Green over the other candidates. Here's to hoping he's in the know, and Travis gets hired.

    To me, this all screams for a buyout for Bieksa. There is no way the Ducks can waste a protection slot for him.

    I think it's to LF, Nate. It has to be. She was an idiot for turning those men down. What will be interesting to see is: what LF will do (whether he helps Sansa or spurns her, again).

    I think that price drop came about because of what they did for pricing for terrace center. We had seats in section 415 row P last year. The price for those seats went up around 43% (they grouped the goal line sections with center terrace and moved the upper section pricing up two rows), so we moved to center ice this year and re-upped for next. The price drop is probably indicative of a few lost holders from that price jump.

    It's hard to say all season when he missed more than half of the season with concussion symptoms. I also think he was a lot better than you're leading on.

    What about banning people who have incredibly misguided opinions about the Ducks D?  Fowler is not by far the best defensemen on the Ducks.  Lindholm is right on his tail, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lindholm is the better dman by the end of the year.

    Watching that hit still makes my blood f**king boil. BS play, particularly when the Avs were responsible for Despres missing 40 games this season for a concussion. Still can't believe that was missed AND the Ducks got a hooking penalty seconds after.
