So I thought about $tatu$
Thought I'd give an update
& though I'm nobody's poet
Felt it rhymed pretty great...
Yes I like Pina Coladas
Gettin' caught in the rain...

I put my hand upon her lever
Said let it rock & let it ROLL!
I had the 1 armed, bandit fever
It was an arrow thru my heart & my soul...
Sweet..Utube has Dire's Making Movies(full album) up again. Missus will be getting tired of this played high, next few days

Bullet train from Kurashiki to Osaka.
Just got back from this small town in Okayama. Beautiful little village w/ a canal(& boats they pole-push around). Guess it's a mini-Venice?
Now COVID is flaring up again..over 1,000 last wk in Tokyo. Prob last overnight trip in a longgg while to come...

Draft Lotto Idea: 3 yr cycle
-top-5 pick(team wins again) move 1 slot back
-top-3 pick(repeated) move 2 slots back
Back to normal 2 drafts after you've won a top-3 or 5 pick(reset).
Basically an additional rule to prevent teams from repeated draft lotto-success.

Let's face it,
the Canucks have not had too much luck at the draft.Even this Lotto draft system has brutalized them,so it would be nice to get a top 3 pick and get to keep him.
A 1OA pick in a great draft year would be one our few franchise players over the fifty years in the league.Think back on how many franchise players we have had,pretty scary results from the draft.
WE ARE DUE.

Wanna spend my 20,000th post in a meaningful way.
Maybe a hardy YEEHAW when we wrap up a SC win in early Oct?!
Be cool if it was indeed 50 yrs from the day the Canucks got officially rollin'...

post on the race protests
or covid
these are 50 and 100 year events
what could be more important
or worthy of your milestone?
for the record
for my 7,780 post
i disparaged anson carter's suggestion
that his lack of a nuck renewal contract
was based on race issues
(so was on race, but not really in line with the race protests)

(repeat chorus)
Most peculiar 'Nuckers...ROLL!!!

we've been good, the wife and I have been doing great, we love spending time together so for us its been good actually. Our big worry is her parents who are both in high risk groups.
I wanted to ask - are there good skiing ares near Osaka? we want to go for another trip to Japan once the world settles down but want to make it a winter ski trip this time. Last time we did Tokyo which was great but we'd like to see more of the country this time.
-
Yes..also concerned for my wife's folks. This whole global-sh**show has sure made people look hard at what's important in life, hasn't it?
Skiing? Still haven't been in Japan..heck 1990 was my last experience! I heard Biwa Valley is alright. But this Kansai Area(perhaps comparable to Lower Mainland in scale) often has winters too warm. Be hard to time that.
Better to separately hit the famous ski destinations: Hokkaido, Nagano, or perhaps Yuzawa, Niigata. These mtn resorts are also famous for the quality of their food staples/cuisine.
Then hit Kansai for the sights: Osaka, Nara, Kyoto & Kobe are truly places of history, beauty & more. Have always enjoyed how different each city is from the other 3. I've taken the economy route..getting to know the region with backpacked bentos, riding on two wheels. Can't imagine a better country in the world for cyclists.
Rent bikes in Kyoto, & you & your missus will have a time. Then of course, try a nice onset resort(pricey, but memorable). Peace

Did we somehow LOSE the JT Miller deal?!
Looking at the trade thread on that other site, their Neg Nellies apparently want it portrayed as such.
The mental gymnastics they perform to downgrade JB's absolute larceny, is both astounding & ludicrous.
Over there, it seems there is ZERO appreciation for what I felt was a pretty entertaining season from our guys.

I'd say Tampa actually ended up losing the trade, considering they traded our first round pick to NJ for Blake Coleman

Norah Jones is pure class.
Discovered her "home concerts" yesterday on Utube. Tryin' to help folks keep spirits up.
Ravi Shankar's girl is amazing.

Pretty women out walkin' with gorillas down my street
From Japan, I'm dreamin' while my coffee goes cold
Look over there>
Where?!
There's a lady that I used to knowww
She's married now or engaged or sumthin' so I am told...
Is she really goin' OUUUT with him?! Is she really gonna' take him home tonite?!...

Sometimes I get so blue
People say, I'm just a fool
All the world, even you
Should learn to love
The way I do
I was blind, can't'cha see?
Through the long, lonely night
Heaven knows, I believe
Won't you take, a chance w/me?
Long live Roxy Music!

Coronavirus in Japan.
They just announced all schools closed until end of school year(end-March)
Missus says we'll have to close our kid's English school for the month, as well.
Brace yerselves CDC'ers, for a wave of insane Trade Props. As STYX sang, "Too much Time On My Hands"!
-
Nash just got injured..BJ's have TEN guys out!
Torts should take a page from ol' Roger's book. Next stoppage, look up at the HawkeyGawds & start waving a white towel!
Would Battman fine him for protesting at the Heavens?!
-
True confession:
Like this Mangiapane kid. Think he's a true gamer. Hope he gets outa' stinky Cowtown, sooner than later.
Gotta' feeling he'll nab some really big goals in his career.
-
& somewheres out there..Mike Babcock is sipping a cool one, w/contemplative smirk.
Hey Mitchy..make a list of all the various coaches who have(or will) failed you!
Remember you lil' idiots singin' Bon Jovi on bench, after criminal Kadri ran Daniel?!
I do!
-
LOL..Mighty Fleas coughing up 30 shots, only halfway thru.
Their D's like us :^)
-
MAN! The eastern Conf is tough biz
CBJ has been workin their tails off, more battered than pinatas. 11 games over .500, yet don't think they'll make it in...(gp is high)
IF they did, Torts deserves COTY
-
Yeah..Laffs, hate to say I 'Told ya so'..but what a debacle.
In my Oct(Save The Laffs) thread, I said their fans would go meltdown-mode, turning on their own, unlikeable cast.
Well go over to their HFLaffs page. It's happening precisely as called.
The meltdown game(HNIC in Nov?) happened just before Babcock was gassed, vs Pitt. History is already repeating for Keefe. Dubas BOTCHED this team, to epic proportions.
-
BwaHaha! The Maple Fleas are pondering to trade NEXT yr's 1st!..so claims Bobby Mac.
Imagine wanting to do a yard sale, but overnight a sinkhole ATE the front yard! :^)

A little history unfolding...
With 2 more shots, Carey Price will have faced 20,000 for Habbies.(1st intermission now)
Quite the number, to hold a .918 career %
-
Injuries!!!
Kadri, Seth Jones, McD(albeit, seems shorter term)
Some big names dropping, could spice up TDL. Ottawa should benefit here, with values rising.
