  1. When I was 10 I couldn't wait to grow up and do what I wanted to do. Many years later I long to be 10 again.

      We are all stressed and "wish we could turn back time, to the good old days"

      i'm not stressed and i don't want to go back...just want to ride off into the sunset...someday. i've ran my race, now i prefer more gentle horses....the kind that don't buck....

  2. Combat America with Clark Gable. He was a Gunner for the USAAF during WWII and saw combat. Yes at times it's cheesy, but you learn admiration for what these guys went through. 10/10. Save to Delicious
  3. That was the most petty, and stupid thing I've ever seen. He could have said as she pointed out earlier he's going to be in Space Jam. I'm starting to think all broadcasters should volunteer to work for emergency services to show "the big picture". Maybe it's time for that sportscaster to retire.
  4. Godzilla (2014). 7/10. For a monster movie, it doesn't fall into the usual cliches. One scientist isn't mad, the other driven by grief sort of is. The love interest/ sidebar isn't sappy. No special weapons to kill the monster. The cast/script isn't off the charts, but it's miles better than that train wreck of the late 90's. Yes there was some stupid parts. Like why would the Navy sail in formation around Godzilla like he's a US Submarine? How does the tug/tour ship get that far out with 5 minutes to go before the bomb goes off? But the monsters were destructive and fun. One of the better US versions of the King of the Monsters. And yes, I was excited as a kid when the atomic breath kicked in. Great if you love Monster movies, watchable to others I think. My real beef is not using Ken Watnabe and Bryan Cranston enough. And weird choice of using Gyorgy Ligeti's Requiem for the HALO drop. Works in 2001 at the Monolith. Not for a monster movie.
  5. Good thing we didn't tell them about the dirty knife!

      No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules


      Rule One! No Poofters!
      Rule Two, no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way at all -- if there's anybody watching.
      Rule Three? No Poofters!!
      Rule Four, now this term, I don't want to catch anybody not drinking.
      Rule Five, No Poofters!
      Rule Six, there is NO ... Rule Six.
      Rule Seven, No Poofters!!

      Right, that concludes the readin' of the rules, Bruce.

      agreed doctor.

  6. Glen Hanlon expected to be the Giants next GM.
  7. Every year we draft players in the 5th-7th rounds for the same reason. There is something the scouts see that could translate into the NHL. The difference? We didn't have to use a draft pick. Worst case, he goes to the ECHL and disappears. Best case, Burrows V.2.0. I still fail to see why folks like Desi and Labamba have issues with signing a depth UFA?
  8. I might pick up the PS4 finally. Battlefield 1 looks like the tipping point. No Prisoners!!!!!
  9. Jays, 19-19. Mariners, 21-15. Chicago FREAKING Cubs: 27-8. I'm still waiting for the collapse.
  10. Why is TFC Red/White/Blue? Wasn't their kit red and white? Did Toronto sell out to the US?
  11. Man if only all our late first round picks had this kind of potential. Cough..cough... Patrick White, Schroeder, Mike Wilson, Polasek. Makes me wonder if we had a rule that when you draft from 20-30 go the NCAA route, certainly seems to have worked for guys like Schneider, and Kesler.
  12. He told us not to blow it,

    Cause he knows it's all worthwhile.

    He told me

    Let the children lose it....

    Let the children use it.....

    Let all the children boogie....

  13. Hey Boston Pizza, what the hell did you do to the nachos? There was nothing wrong with your old nachos. The "fully loaded" ones were as bad as cheap Toronto bar Nachos complete with cheez whiz like cheese, and lettuce? If I wanted a taco salad I would have ordered it.

     

    No wonder its "Not your time".

      Ya, I tried those 'Cactus Cut' nachos after seeing the promo on TV. They were terrible. It's basically potato chips turned into nachos, eat like 8 and your poisoned. 

  14. Look at that rain in Churchill Downs!

      you changed your avatar o: i dont like change D:

  15. Better deal than downtown Vancouver, and use of the stadium in exchange for 50% of merchandize, and food and drinks? So nothing out of pocket, in exchange of rent, and Canucks marketing?
  16. Is Demko and Garteig eligible for Young Stars Tourneys?
  17. Am I watching the Canucks or the Cubs game? At the bottom of the 5th they are talking about food? I mean it is at Wrigley Field but geez.

      For a second, I thought you meant our Canucks. I thought "how long have I been asleep?!"

  18. I listened to TSN 1040 for a new record of 60 seconds. Pratt was going on how great Drouin is, and whomever was working with him said Drouin was worth Virtanen and our #5 pick to start!

    I was so mad changed the station right away.

      I still don't understand how Pratt still has a job as a sports journalist...

  19. Couldn't the Giant's get a deal on playing at Rogers Arena? Special pricing for Canucks/Giants double headers? It would certainly be great for Benning to have scouting in his own arena. More marketing options. You can just close the upper bowl for Giants games.
  20. http://vancouvergiants.com/article/giants-call-press-conference-for-tuesday At the Langley Events Centre, they are moving to Surrey or Langley?
  21. Fitbit and an Apple Watch aren't the same. Fitbit is to motivate you to move. When I had my stroke my brother and sister-in-law gave me one. I'm doing up to 8 to 10km walking and helps me lose weight. I've lost almost 25 lbs. over almost 6 months. And hopefully I'll be on the way back to the shape I was 20 years ago.
