had a little tiny stud in my nose for years that I lost one day and then just never put one back in because I got an office job.

On the right woman, a little stud is hot AF.

Sincerely depends on the woman's face, really, and the structure of the nose.

Dustin Hoffman was the only guy who knew the assignment.

Hoffman crushes, but Robin Williams does a fantastic job, as well.

It's Julia Roberts who sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl. Tink should've been a blonde cutie from that era, not another nagging wife character.

At least Forsyth County will be stupid enough to fund it.

As I understood the referendum, it involved a special tax district for the arena, and some capital infrastructure improvements (which were already needed) from the county. Krause has funding lined up for the arena itself, and was intending to use development rights for the condos and restaurants to offset costs. I don't think the county is out if pocket in anything except road widening and an exit off 400.

Still, if Krause pulls it off, the arena itself will print cash, a la The Battery. Atlanta needed another major arena, as Philips was always packed with events.

That said, Carter's group has the rights to the North Point mall site, and that makes a lot more sense for an arena development, as it already has the infrastructure in place. I *think* Krause is farther along in his plans than Carter is, though I'd be willing to bet the NHL would love to have Carter as the face of an ownership for a handful of reasons.

Anyhow, I've hijacked the thread enough. Hockey is an excellent sport, and is best enjoyed live. A lot of great memories with the NHL as a whole, though I haven't paid as much attention since the $pirit sold my team.

This year's playoffs I'll probably pull for Columbus, as holy crap that's a hard luck franchise.

I’ve decided to start following the Montreal Canadiens because I’m learning French and like the idea of rooting for a historic franchise trying to get back on top.

---

Les Habitants, or commonly called the Habs.

They have a deeper connection with ethnicity than any other franchise in professional sports. Imagine if the Lakers only wanted to draft, develop, and coach people from Southern California. That's the Canadiens.

They've been middling since Roy was traded.

Didn't Florida win the SEC reg season and SEC tourney

---

sec tourney, yes. Tanner never GaS about the SEC tournament. It was his only flaw as HC.

Regular season SC and UF finished with same record, but SC won the reg season series vs UF.

Then SC dusted UF in the CWS finals.

The correct answer is South Carolina from 2010 to 2012. Did not a lose a single game in the ncaa tournament in 2011 and the winning streak stretched from the first game in Omaha in 2010 to game one of the final in 2012.

It's an LSU site, so you'll get dragged.

But you're not wrong. The 2011 team was literally unbeatable. They bowled through everything in the postseason, including taking down a very good Florida team.

They had a mystique. That bases-loaded, no outs defensive stand against UVA was otherworldly.

This makes me sad. SC was once the preeminent baseball power east of the Mississippi, now it's just... there.

Large public high school in Northern ATL suburbs.

Had a buddy who was sleeping with the interim drama teacher. Not something I would have bragged about, but he used to hit it in the sound booth between classes.

South Africa is wayyyy down the list of places I’d choose to go as a white dude lmfao.

---

Yes and no.

I wouldn't want to live there permanently or try and make a living.

But if you're wanting to keep a low profile, ZA (especially the Western Cape) is a pretty great place to be anonymous.

If so, name your price.
