  1. Blame Steve Shutt. Yes, *THAT* Steve Shutt (Montreal Canadians hockey hall of famer). Being a musician, you probably already know the story but for those that don't..... Steve Shutt used to be a musician as well (or an aspiring one) as a teenager. He had a buddy (Geddy Lee) & both were trying to form a band but needed another musician. Shutt said he had another friend from the SAME high school as the two; so he introduced Geddy Lee to the individual. The guy was Alex Lifeson! Small world eh? Lucky for the Habs, Shutt decided to stick to hockey lol. You can also indirectly blame KISS for helping introduce the band to the world (as they were their opening act on their first major tour).
  2. Apparently I'm Nigerian royalty! All I gotta do is send $10,000 to a group of lawyers for them to expedite the process to clear the way for my cornation. I've never had to use a lawyer before so I need some advice. Anybody here have experience with the firm "Dewy, Cheatem & Howe"? I couldn't find any ratings on yelp.
  3. Interesting enough there was pretty strong resistance to conscription back in 1939 from two provinces (Quebec & BC). The later for more insidious reasons ("they" didn't want "asians" to have a chance at getting the right to vote [which they didn't have in 1939] by being drafted in the armed forces).
  4. Are you crazy? Oswald was a patsy. JFK shot himself. They framed Oswald cause suicide is a sin according to JFKs faith.
  5. Hey, you want Andrew Scheer? He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory!
  6. 1) Come on! Everyone loved ninja movies in the 80s! Classic 80s cheese! 2) Yeah "Arnold" was going to film a movie here as well but decided running for Governor of California might be a bit more difficult if he filmed a movie here instead of LA 3) I laughed when they had to "dirty up the alleys alot" for Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx" when that was filmed here (heh, might not have to do that today).
  7. He starred in the (short-lived) Vancouver TV series "Cobra": Yes, that's Principal Strickland (Back to the Future) in the cast lol...
  8. Yeah a number of "what ever happened to that guy?" came to die in a TV series filmed in Vancouver. Remember "American Ninja"?
  9. What's wrong with good old fashion Street Justice! (was filmed in Vancouver!):
  10. Melmac. Their national flag is the white flag of surrender. Bunch of cowards.
  11. Yeah I think the lead singer of Extreme gets too much flack for his time in Van Halen.
  12. I know apollo's record at 932 Granville street.....(eg., he never slept alone).
  13. Individuals games and or individual accomplishments mean nothing really. By the end of the season, the Canucks will have more points than the Devils and will see the postseason again before the Devils. That's all that matters.
  14. People have been fired over less. Doubt too many here will remember when Dave Hodge got fired over this: Guess who his replacement was? Ron McLean.....
  15. This talk of So-Crates got me to thinking of....... Remember what Bill & Ted said! Be excellent to each other!
  16. "We have seen the enemy and it is us".....I read it from a fortune cookie. (yes, I know it's from "Pogo"....)
  17. I seek not to know the answers, but to understand the questions.....Confucius I think Kwai Chang Caine said something to that effect in Kung Fu as well.
  18. radical left or radical right. Makes no difference. Both equally abhorant. That is my opinion.
  19. Alf could be wearing the Laffs jersey & he'd love him unconditionally.
  20. Not me. I kinda wished they kept him as their backup.
