This is a new and exciting attempt at a point that has never in history been tried before. I, for one, am glad that you have brought it to our attention.

So we're sure this guy was born on December 25th but the date he rose from the loving dead is a floater?

My sister at 6 yo asking my mom if Santa was real. My mom was honest and told her no, and it was a fun story that was enjoyed at Christmas. My sister was downtrodden for a moment, then looked up at my mom and said, "Well, at least we still have the Easter Bunny!" and went off on her merry way.

It's a Spring holiday OP, with a religious coating. Like Christmas is a Winter holiday, with a capitalist coating.

I usually call it dead Jesus day or some poo poo. Real talk here. Whats the deal with the movie The 10 Commandments being shown on tv on Easter? I'm not religious, but my grandma was Eye-talian and Catholic so she always watched it during Easter, or the week before or whatever, but on Wikipedia it says it was broadcast every year since 1973. What does a bunch of Jewish people being freed from slavery before Jesus was born have to do with Dead Jesus day?

Zdeno Chara is the most recent player I can think of who got an exemption from the NHL in order to allow him to use a stick longer than the normal maximum length of 63 inches. He's 6'9" and was allowed to use a 65" stick. The NHL only considers exemptions for players who are 6'6" or taller. USA Hockey does not allow this. There was a former Phoenix Suns player who had to play with a 63" stick despite being very tall. I may have reffed for his team a couple times, I don't remember.

Yeah, it's a bit lame once you're older than like 8. I guess getting candy is cool. But once that's over all left with ham. Ham sucks. At least turkey comes with gravy.

Anderson Koopa posted:Yep! That's the dude! I couldn't imagine being that tall with a 63" inch stick. Chara is retired now and I don't know of any other players with an exemption to use a longer stick, but I've always wondered about the following: 1) Two (or more) players lose their stick, so they're just sitting on the ice available to be picked up. 2) A player without a stick can legally pick up a loose stick on the ice so long as it belongs to their teammate (it's officially an interference minor if you either pick up an opponent's loose stick, or push it out of their reach if they're in the act of attempting to retrieve it - smacking it out of the way if it's loose is acceptable - I have however seen a player, I think for the Anaheim Ducks, use an opponent's stick to score a goal without the referee noticing, and I think it was even curved wrong). 3) Zdeno Chara and a teammate both lose their stick. Let's assume they're the same handedness. 4) Chara's teammate picks up Chara's stick and tries to play with it. Obviously should be illegal, but I'm curious about the mechanism for trying to do anything about it. If the referee notices it, can he stop play and call a penalty on Chara's teammate? Or would the opposing team have to go through the archaic rules (presumably still on the books) for asking the officials to measure a potentially illegal stick?

I think it would probably be a dead pick penalty? Like a check for illegal equipment. In regards to point #2 of yours, I believe this is the video you might be talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmi8CR2sxXA

So if you bring a big enough giant you get a stick the size of the goal?

Anderson Koopa posted:That's an excellent question. I think it would probably be a dead pick penalty? Like a check for illegal equipment. Yep, that's the exact situation I was remembering. I even had the team right! I was a ref and I honestly have no idea how I'd have handled anything close to the random hypothetical I was wondering about, or what the NHL could have even done (if anything) about that goal. I suppose the answer in the latter case is that since the Ducks player picking up his opponent's stick and scoring with it wasn't noticed and called, the mechanism of the rule does not allow you to retroactively call the penalty. Silly, but it is what it is. I suppose from my viewpoint as a ref, I had to rely on the general rule that players are actually very unlikely to try to do anything other than either pick up their own stick when they lose it, or go to the bench for a line change (that's what my high school coach hammered into our heads - if you lose your stick and can't immediately pick it up, or it breaks, come to the loving bench and get off the ice, even if you're in your own zone). One time I was working a peewee game and the goalie dropped his stick. For some stupid reason, one of the kids decided to pick it up, and did not immediately hand it back to the goalie. Opposing coaches started yelling about it, but they're youth hockey coaches, so them yelling about something isn't exactly out of the ordinary. I gave the poor kid a chance... he was kind of standing around in the slot area, so I started yelling at him to drop the stick, since I didn't really want to call him for a penalty (the rules state that you specifically have to "participate in the play" with an illegal stick, and he sort of was not). He didn't listen, and after about five or so seconds of that, he touched the puck with it. I obviously didn't have a choice anymore, so off to the penalty box the kid went.

Anderson Koopa posted:There's so much going on at game speed. No clue how you do it. One thing they kind of teach you is to be loud (what you actually say is mostly irrelevant) when there are players nearby or you're in the potential line of fire, just to remind the players that you're there. That's probably what that was about. As for how I did it... well the joke aside that I just said I was a ref and never said I was any good at it, just pretty standard selective filtering. If you've also played (which I did, but not really at that high of a level) you can generally do okay at anticipating what will happen and when it might happen. You don't just watch the puck all the time and such. Positioning yourself well in order to give yourself a decent view of things is also a big deal, so the entry-level seminar when I first started getting into it was mostly about positioning and mechanics, with a little coverage of the rules and an open-book rules exam (the higher-level seminars were closed book). Also some kid kept derailing the entry-level with idiotic hypothetical questions like "lol what if a player does a spin-o-rama at the blue line." Speaking of derailing things... ha. This string of posts replying to each other has absolutely nothing to do with whether Easter is stupid or not.

In the UK I would get Friday and Monday off work which ruled, now in the US I don’t get jack poo poo but friends here always ask me what my plans are. I’m not sure what plans I’m supposed to have. They don’t even do proper Easter eggs here! It’s like America didn’t get the memo of all the cool stuff Easter is supposed to have. It’s like if on Christmas you had to go to work and you didn’t get presents.

I've never had a job where I had Easter off work, but I mostly worked lovely jobs (except for the hockey ref job I keep yammering on about, that was awesome). I probably had it off a few times but only because I had that Sunday off for a reason unrelated to it being Easter. One of my jobs was at a church. For obvious reasons I worked on Easter for that one. I guess if I had kids I'd give them some candy or maybe have them hunt for hidden eggs I guess. My family did that when I was a kid but otherwise never made a big deal about it. It's not like we had a special Easter dinner or anything.
