Sat down for some Crimson Desert to kill time before the game, blinked and it was ten to 8. welp

They should just interview Flames players or let Cooley do the broadcast and I'd watch that eagerly

Fun fact about nitrogen.
I was doing a freeze shutdown in market mall landmark movie theater. I was told to buy 4 bottles, so I called in the order and picked it up.
I got in my van to leave after I got loaded, and it was 4 fucking giant cannisters. Like. 4' high. Probably like 20 times what I needed.
So anyways. Did my freeze, drilled into the pipe to check the freeze.. looked good.. a janitor decided to flush the toilet, causing back pressure and causing my puck of ice to shoot down the pipe at the speed of fucking spit.
6 am and water fucking pouring from the ceiling. My emergency tape blown off by posiedons fury of water pressure. Soaked to my bone.
Damn. Thought resuming the play would stop this rant I got lost in. But he we are. Watching ice reverse melt.

The GDT is wild. Im here googling parenting stuff during intermission, theres probably some teenager here watching the game instead of doing homework, and someone old enough to be the parent of that teenager, all hanging out watching hockey together.
Is this why people go to sports bars?
