Anything under "oh my god my mouth is on fire" level of stars isn't real thai food.

95% of the time I phone in my orders for thai food and give a asian name
so that when I say five stars they actually make it five stars. Otherwise, they hear an anglo name and give me 3 when I ask for 5.
If I am in person I have to ask what the highest they go is, and then tell them to double it. Then repeat myself. Then give them a tip.

The more stars, chili peppers, or whatever system they’re going by the better.
And the more run down the establishment-or better yet, the taco truck-the better the food.

Allow me to out-gay you:
I must have Matthew’s taste in ballplayers:
First it was Ken Girffey, then Mark McGwire, after that I had my eye on Jim Edmonds. At first I was too shy too ask to Jim out, because fuck everyone from Anaheim—but goddamn was he beautiful. In the meantime I had brief flings with A-Rod, J.D. Drew and Darryl Kile, before manning up settling into a long term relationship with Jim; Jim and I had many good years, but it had to end and fortunately our breakup was mutual (we still even talk on line from time to time). Now I have my eye on Rick Ankiel, Rick and I have known each other forever, he’s broken my heart before and it was very difficult to move on, but I believe in second chances, and I can tell that he’s really changed and this thing is for real.

Hm... when I said "here's"
I meant “here was”. Favorite players now are Lundqvist and Kovalchuk. Though to be honest I watch 1 game per year, so… yeah. Not much basis for favorites.

Seriously though, I have no idea how to decide.
I think I’m just going to let the idea germinate for awhile and then something will happen. FWIW, all the teams I picked had to have no recent Cup success and be from a northern city.
Ottawa: Good line, you Jeff, and Graham as fans helps because it’s easier to stick a rooting interest if you have people to talk to about it.
Vancouver: Love the city, love the unis, some of the players seem good. Close proximity. Good time to join with Linden and possibly Naslund going away. It’s like anti-bandwagon
Minnesota: Has sold out all but one home game in their 8 year existence.
Philadelphia: Lived there for four years.

That's a tough call.
I remember running into the same problem with selecting a Premiership team. I just kept poking around until I found something that appealed to me on a personal level (in this case Reading’s Seattle and US connections). I also find that it helps to find a team that has a playing style that appeals to you. Naturally this may change over time, but I never would’ve gotten behind the Sens if they’d played goonish hockey like the Leafs or the current Ducks.

Ditto on Premiership.
I had to have an interest in soccer in general before I could figure out my premiership team (Everton!).

I love Jay DeMerit
back when they were in the Premiership, it was actually pretty easy. Setanta and FSC showed most of the games (and most of the ones that they didn’t could be found online using a variety of programs). Now that they’re in the Championship it gets a bit tougher (sucks to be me as well). Setanta will air some games this season, but it’s going to be pretty limited. I’m also not certain if the games are broadcast online at all. My guess is no.

They ruined the only FA Cup I'll probably ever get to go to

Problem with that, is that if you ever do meet Michael Owen
he’ll probably be writhing on the ground after his latest knee injury.
I’d like to give Carragher untreatable tetanus.

Definitely no to Philly
I personally think you should go with Vancouver.
They are the coolest of the 4 teams and the closest. The only downside to it is if Seattle gets a NHL team sometime.
I would have Ottawa in second, even though I personally like the Wild more.
BUT your biggest point about Ottawa is that you have people to discuss them with. Well, if you are closest to Vancouver, you should have plenty of people to talk to about them.
by Slica on Jul 8, 2008 4:37 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes.
We are young and good. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter are both really really good young players. We’re fun to watch; we are talented and know how to mix it up.
Also, we are/used to be rivals with the Sens, so when the Flyers beat the Sens you could have superiority over Jeff
