I cannot recommend Mason & Dixon highly enough, FYI! Probably the finest novel I have ever read, not totally baffling in the way many of his novels are (though it certainly has its own challenges: getting used to 18th-century writing style takes a while). It is essentially a buddy road novel...

As mentioned by others, Gravity's Rainbow is incredibly difficult, probably the most difficult book I've read. And as @ayayrawn said, it is not a very good place to start with Pynchon. (The Crying of Lot 49 or Inherent Vice are much quicker and give you a good idea of his sort of thing.) But...

Hilarious week to release this, with like four feet of snow covering the entire city.

I know most hockey players are total morons who can barely read, but fuck 'em up! "[GM Bill Guerin] also credited Trump’s recent jabs at Canada and calls to turn it into the 51st state with helping improve his team’s game. He said the two countries have always had 'political flare' and that...

Just the final, I think. Isn't it a holiday in the U.S.?

Feeling it.

Anything can happen in a single game. Canada's 2014 Olympic team, possibly their best team ever, barely beat Latvia when their goalie stood on his head for 60 minutes. Also Binnington is not very good, so...

Yeah the dark shirt under an already horrible light suit is what puts it over the edge. A couple great games today. Looking forward to Monday and a rematch in the final. Fuck Bettman for keeping this from us for almost a decade.

PK looks great. Elliott Friedman on the Canadian broadcast is wearing like a beige corduroy double breasted suit, it's horrible.

That was one of the most fun overtime periods (and full games) I've ever watched. Psyched to have some best-on-best again, and especially that they've announced participation in the next couple Olympics and hosting World Cups.

Same with my father. For hockey unlike baseball, you sometimes/often only have one hand on your stick; generally you want it to be your dominant one. (Shooting left means your right hand is at the top of the stick.)

Not uncommon at all. My brother and I and many of my friends are the same. Like 60+% of the NHL shoots left.

GameCube games were like $80 Canadian at launch, 23+ years ago. How many other things have stayed the same price that long?

This band has never really had "great" album covers but boy, woof.
