No, I loved it!! Had an amazing time (once the $104 CAD cab ride from the airport was over). I'll be back for sure.

Cabs in NYC are ridiculous.

The days of the yellow cabs with preset fares for rides into the city are long gone.

You get to pay that traffic tax yo!

Yeah, he hit that button at least a couple times and I wondered if that would fly with native NY'ers.

That honestly sounds about right from JFK or LGA. That was CAD, so (right now, anyway) about $75 USD to go to Manhattan from Queens is pretty fair.

Yeah, I had a plan worked out for getting from JFK to midtown, but we were forced to change flights after arriving in Buffalo in the morning, so ended up going into LGA and I hadn't done any homework. So, we just jumped in a cab.

You can always ask a cab driver to give a rough cost of the trip before you get in the cab. A vet driver will give you a fairly good guess...keeps them from that surprise $100+ fare...

Newark Intl airport to Staten Island will hit you for $45 or more. It's not far at all (only two exits from airport), but the bridges are a rapists delight.

For about $100 more per person you could've just skipped the car

That's why, as much as I hate it, I just take the subway. 6 dollars round trip, yes please.

I missed the CAD part but that still sucks. 75 bucks you could spend on food or something else.

Can she help Laf and Kakko improve their skating? That's all I care about.

Yeah, that was my 1st thought as well. But, the article doesn't mention anything about her being brought in for that sort of purpose. So, I saw she played D and went for the obvious joke!

I dont know if anyone still cares, has an interest or follows wrestling… however Bray Wyatt, Windham Rotunda, unexpectedly passed away, 36yo. For anyone who used to watch wrestling, this is the son of Mike Rotunda aka Irwyn R. Schyster, IRS and the nephew of Barry Windham.

Yeah, I don't think they should trade him. Give him a legit NHL shot. QB PP2. For all the crap Kravtsov and Andersson didn't want to do, Jones has.

Miller-Fox
Lindgren-Trouba
Jones- Schneider.

(Mix and match however you see fit.)

- tomburton99


I just don't see how both Jones a d Fox in the lineup is a good idea. Gotta have some size
Gustafson will be with Schneider. Played with Laviolette already. Didn't he get signed after Laviolette was hired?

Saw that and sucks. I don't watch anymore but really got into dark side of the ring. I showed my 4yo royal rumble and he got pretty into it. Seems like Bray Wyatt had a huge storyline/following these recent years. Also used to hate IRS as a kid with Dibiase and money Inc/million dollar corp

Apparently he got COVID earlier in the year and it exacerbated some existing heart issues he had. He was doing well supposedly and was planning a return, unfortunately he ended up having a heart attack today.

Of the new characters, he was by far my favorite. I dont really watch it anymore but Ill randomly flip it on for a ppv and read up to see whats going on.
