  1. I remember back in the day on the north shores local mountains dudes rockn’ jeans on the slopes.
  2. Good point. if JT really wanted to spearhead this “inclusive” movement on a federal level he could have made mention of his past. It would have done a lot to win over those who see him as a clueless trust fund baby as well as those who he is pandering too. obviously it’s too forward thinking for a politician to do so.
  3. Imo an apology will bare more weight when it is personal ie between to parties with history. A general apology to the masses will never be more than lip service rightly or wrongly. that being said a general apology deserves the chance to grown in its legitimacy. The proof will be in tangible changes. its up to each of us to get over our egos to allow this. i posted an anecdote in the “betrayal thread” about what an apology means to me if your interested.
  4. Schaller has shown zero desperation too date and I doubt that changes by inviting a beat down from Peluso.
  5. “There is no such thing as bad pizza” well thats half the quote anyway.
  6. Lost my dad at 25. 43 now and I would do anything to have him back. Every part of my life now that I have kids he misses out on and so do I. When you’re in your twenties you are starting to become friends with your parents after you butt heads through your teens. there is no contract or money that trumps family. i have much respect for Brock and any decision he could have made I fully understand. i sympathize with anyone going through family health issues regardless of where they stand in life.
  7. Dude has some wicked fetish action goin on. friday nights when the kids are away must be hella fun.
  8. Back in the day red robin had a triple triple. i was a skinny kid and I’d crush it before my buddies were done there fajitas or whatever girl food they were eating.
  9. I suppose you could have just taken acid and set your guitar on fire.
  10. I’m fascinated by the bravery of people with cancer. I honestly don’t know I would handle even the news of it.
  11. A third?!?? He has already played more nhl games than third round picks have have the odds of ever playing.
  12. I’m going to put a positive spin on this thread. A short story that will hopefully help restore people’s faith in humanity for a little while. I’ll condense it to keep it brief. I work in a fairly large residential subdivision development. This past March marks two years there. Suffice to say over this time although not everyone knows names most are familiar faces. There are various trades from drywallers to blasting technicians. one morning I showed up to my specific site to find my cut station/work bench completely destroyed and in a pile just inside the property. I had it set up just into the side of the street as it helps to have a flat surface for safety and accuracy. The foreman of the excavation company had gone on a rampage and drove his machine right through it. He was annoyed because of trades parking in the side of the road which slowed down the dump truck traffic. now for context you have to understand that this guy happens to be well over 6’ and well over 200lbs. I’m no slouch but no way I’m physically getting into it with him over something like that. I confronted him (he was still in the machine) and asked him why and what his problem was and he replied with yelling and swearing and drove off. anyway this past year goes by. I see him. He sees me. Nothing happens. Life goes on. two weeks ago I’m there on a Saturday morning starting my day. I see him drive towards me. I don’t think anything of it and go into my trailer to get my tools out. i hear his truck stop and next thing I know he is standing in the doorway of my trailer. he says to me “hey bud I just want to say sorry for last year. I was going through a divorce and a tough time and was having a $&!#ty morning. I see you here all the time and I just wanted to say sorry” i couldn't believe it. I’m 43 and have literally never heard an apology by anyone, anytime, about anything on a job site. In fact I can count on two fingers how many times I’ve had an apology directed to me as an adult. People just don’t do this imo. Too much pride/ego. i extended my hand and introduced myself and thanked him wholeheartedly. i don’t doubt that this had been on his soul for months and I hope he felt awesome as he drove away and had a great day. I’m sure he did. Well done J. You’re a real man.
  13. Somewhat embarrassing but one week during winter in Saskatoon I ate five guys every lunch for a week. It was cold and I work outside. Loaded up on jalapeños and green peppers. I freakin love give guys.
  14. Hockey’s definition of “fine” gotta love it.
  15. Man I really hope Zack Mac works out. Looking forward to more EP MF.
