Well, the second round is over for Eastern Conference.
The Penguins were up a couple goals. The Capitals forced overtime, and the Hockey Gods made a questionable decision in allowing the Penguins to take game six in overtime. Not cool, Hockey Gods. We made the appropriate sacrifices and everything.
There were handshakes. Evil has triumphed again.
The Western Conference game sevens are tonight (Blues at Stars), and tomorrow (Predleys at Sharks).
Anyway, what’s on tap?
Are you going to shotgun your coffee, or your cheap Renaissance beer?
IMPORTANT EDIT:
Congrats to UNCMedievalist, now known as Doctor UNCMedievalist. We’re so glad it all worked out, buddy.

Magyarország went a period without getting scored on! 0-0 after one period against Finland, including killing off a 5-on-3.
The Canadian announcer’s pronunciation is so bad I don’t know half the Hungarian players he’s referring to.
Sverige is stomping Qazaqstan 3-0 after one. Goals from Mikael Backlund, Linus Klasen, and Adam Larsson.
I thought i said hi, but maybe i never pastaed. this is becoming a habit.
Anyway, Hi All!
On tap – An Ovechkin… that’s a White Russian without a cup. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
I’m definitely going to try to work today. Soon
this is becoming a habit.
and this is a becoming habit!

DeCAPitated!
Good Morning All! And it is a good morning as I finally found a couple grand I had stashed in the house and couldn’t remember where. Holy Shit! I’ll never hide it again. I did manage to throw a lot of crap out while looking for it, so that’s great.
That’s it. I’m definitely working today.
Double header tonight. Yay.
I have a picture of my mom doing a keg stand at 86 years young. I’ll try to find it.
Oh, so i did pasta. Kewl!
You people are ridiculous. I fucking love it.
Mom’s keg stand at Durty Nelly’s in Ireland somewhere.
He comes by it honestly
IT”S NOT MY FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!
“Nigeria demands back stolen money in UK” is one of the best headlines I’ve read in a while.

Ah, the irony!
That’s rich.
(Pun intended)
Yes, President Buhari, right away, sir. Please send your bank account and and routing numbers and we’ll make the transfer immediately.
Bielarus rallied with 4 (!) goals in the third period to defeat Slovensko 4-2.
Confoederatio Helvetica edged out Latvija 5-4. Eric Blum scored with a minute and a half left to give the Helveticae (sp?) the lead.
The Swiss call themselves Helvetica?
Yup. Used to have a guidance counselor from there.
From yesterday’s MFA:
“Swiss Confederation”
German: Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft
French: Confédération Suisse
Italian: Confederazione Svizzera
Romansh: Confederaziun svizra
Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica
The country code for Switzerland is CH, based on the Latin.
A whole nation of hipster graphic designers. They were speaking Romansh before it was cool.
“Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with input from Eduard Hoffmann.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica
“In 1960, its name was changed by Haas’ German parent company Stempel to Helvetica (meaning Swiss in Latin) in order to make it more marketable internationally. It comes from the Latin name for the pre-Roman tribes of what became Switzerland.”
——
“The Helvetii were a Gallic tribe or tribal confederation occupying most of the Swiss plateau at the time of their contact with the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC.”

This is just like that video on why Germany goes by so many other names in the world.
Well, yeah. Doesn’t mean my answer wasn’t more fun.
True, but now I’m reading about significantly less-civilized Swiss.
And and and….my friend in Germany posted a picture of her and her guy at a Dunkies in Leipzig or Berlin, or you know, somewhere in Germany. So I had to look. There’s at least one in Stockholm. I may go just to say I went.
Not every day cause they are suppose to have one of the best coffee-drinking cultures in the world, but…come on. 
Oh yeah, Dunks is all over Germany now. I’ve been seeing them in various train stations and there’s one right near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
“Dunks is all over Germany now”
Say it ain’t so!
Get me some chocolate Munchkins.
Those will be the chocolate Munchkins with the highest carbon footprint ever.
Deepest?
Worth it.
Morning all!
I am so mad that the Caps lost, and thereby ALL of my (yes ALL, stop laughing) brackets have gone kablooie.
I just wanted to duck in and say hey I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with work and am working on a grad school app and trying to do actual work at work so I haven’t been on here in a bit.
I’m sure you all noticed and were quite sad.
I actually did notice and was wondering what was up, but then I remembered that you mentioned trying to cut down your internet usage at work.
Hey! Was thinking about you the other day!
Oh really? Dare I ask what brought me to mind?
*moves his chips to “appelkaka”*
Definitely something Swedish.
Ha ha ha! That’s not a bad guess.
Hahaha! It was “Muse hasn’t been on B2B in a while.” Was going to message you, Muse, but I’m not good at remembering to do things.
Hey stranger!
Been wondering what was up! Grad school, eh? Neat.
It’s a goal of mine to freaking just apply. Not think about getting in, and paying for it but actually submit an application.
Yeah, that blew my remaining eastern bracket predictions. I’m just glad there isn’t going to be a 3rd game seven this round. This has been a brutal playoffs if one is trying to catch all the games.
I still had the Stars being alive now, so my bracket isn’t totally dead (for another 12 hours, anyway)
Who are you again?Just kidding. Howdy.
Swiss 3 Latvians 3 after two. Goals: Nino Neenerneener (2), Gregory Hoffman, Mikelis Redlihs (2), Ronalds Kenins.
Slovaks 2 Belorussians 0 after two. Andrej Sekera and Tomas Jurco with the goals.
The Canucks’ Linden Vey’s father and father’s mistress are going on trial for conspiracy to murder their respective spouses.
One must assume Angela Pimpsbury cracked the case.
Also: How likely is it that Trevor Linden told Jim Benning to acquire Linden Vey because of his first name?
very.
I think you blockquoted your blockquote

Ha!
I noticed the coding came up twice when I pressed the button once, but thought I’d roll with it and edit if it didn’t work. OH well.
i almost lost some coffee
I just really had a sudden urge to be able to use that gif, as tangential as it was to the post
I get it. Sometimes I get gif urges.
This gif always makes me uncomfortable
such thrust
much disco
wow
It’s…hypnotic.
That’s a fun one. Yikes.
