  1. I thought Tony Twist was the hardest puncher in league history? He notoriously would split helmets when he hit them. I liked Scotty Walker for his stand and deliver style that I loved doing myself in Jrs. Brad May was also fun to watch. Ryp and Bieksa were my favs to watch of the last generation of somewhat real fighters that the nhl will ever have. Curt Fraser was before my time, but a guy I heard had big paddles of hands was Brad Gassoff.
  2. To me no one on this list screams Canuck more than Odjick, but the best legit heavyweight fights I saw coming from a heavyweight in a Canucks uniform was Brashear.... taking on the Laraques, Proberts and Grimsons of the league.
  3. Look at the vast size of things. Mathematically, I’d say it’s impossible for intelligent life to not be out there somewhere. That being said, you look at the nearest 50 solar systems towards us, they’re within 16 light years to us. Which is still a crazy amount of distance and it would take a crazy amount of coincidence for one of them to contain life that is capable of advanced space travel. The nearest galaxy to us is what, 2.5MILLION light years away? Another issue of chance, is that 2 of these civilizations of advanced beings would have to exist at the same time in the universe. In reality, I’d have to say that the chance of two advanced civilizations ever interacting with eachother in any form is minimal like .00000000000000000001% of a chance. But who knows maybe there’s other dimensions that we can’t even comprehend exist (I know... I’m channeling my inner Rick & Morty). That being said, I would think this is some kind of advanced earth technology that maybe 70 years from now will be commonly known amongst the general population .
  4. No Leader ever has been. When the war of independence was won, Washington actually relinquished his position of commander in chief to go home to farm. Many of the founding fathers however would not sign the constitution until Washington agreed to be either King or the President. He chose president as America was itself based on the idea of the people being in control. All leaders today globally are scum today. It’s a requirement of the job.
  5. You don’t honestly think that’s the same America that the founding fathers created, do you? America has died twice since then once when people accepted what happened to Lincoln and again when people accepted what happened to Kennedy.
  6. Great. Plague, Pestilence, (we’ll get the War once people realized how &^@#ed the economy is) just looking forward to the famine
  7. You know what’s weird I kept hearing yesterday morning about how guns kill people. So I put my .308 on the front porch in a chair with 6 bullets sitting with it. The mailman dropped off some mail, the garbage man picked up the garbage, the papergirl delivered the paper, not a single shot fired. Probably 3 dozen people stopped at the stop sign adjacent to my porch. Not a single person was shot at or had a gun-related injury. It’s almost as if guns can’t kill people???? I’m going to my silverware drawer next as I hear that spoons make people Fat, I’ll let you know what happens there.
  8. So was the unequivocal rights to spending bill he tried sneaking in that would have given him unlimited power until the end of 2021. Don’t get me wrong here either the shooting was tragedy, but I think the bigger problem that needs to be solved is how in the Hell did this guy acquire weapons he wasn’t allowed to have. The solution even if it could be passed is not to punish law abiding citizens. But to get better at policing people who are not legally allowed to possess firearms.
  9. Clearly. What troubles me is not the gun laws, but for the 2nd time in the last couple of months Trudeau has tried to circumvent the democratic process, which should raise red flags for even the strongest of his supporters.
  10. Okay. Spruceland shopping Center. I may have been so wrong about which mall you work at.
  11. I don’t know why you’re wasting your time arguing with someone who works at the pine centre mall, piercing ears for a living. Clearly he’s an expert in all things industry, everywhere. Ever.
  12. I think this year is gonna be the year that keeps on giving . I’ve never seen rivers and creeks rise this fast this early on as I have today. Lots of snow in the mountains still so in addition to the Covid I think there will be lots of flooding in BC too.
  13. He’s a DerrickHand. He’s tripped miles on a run and been involved in Drilling Doubles. Then he was a Hand faller in the central Cariboo, not to mention a haul truck driver in big mines. He’s the &^@#ing master of all industry.
  14. Lol ok then. You don’t have a &^@#ing clue what you’re talking about or the area in question so you should really just drop it. I don’t know anyone who goes to Quesnel lake anymore. It used to be where everyone goes until that tailings pond breach happened and sent a bunch of dead fish floating to the top. But maybe I’ll listen to you instead of locals and people who visited it multiple times/year. Because you’re the &^@#ing expert on everything and everywhere that you’ve never been.
  15. You should take a little drive there in July and go for a swim and eat a fish from there. Maybe fill a water bottle from there, so that you can drink that safe water on your trip home.
  16. That’s not completely accurate. While I had always felt Gillis overpaid in paying a 1st for a 4/5 defenseman(wouldn’t matter anyways Gillis Sucked at drafting).... remember that the Canucks were extremely leery of signing Mitchell because he started having Concussion issues(not unlike Ferland lately). Fortunately Willie recovered eventually and had a successful finish to his career. I think it was the Canucks that walked away from Willie and didn’t even offer him a contract if I recall.
  17. Anyone have any guesses as to what a good strategy would be for the next 2-3 months?
  18. Lol there’s a reason 23 people live in everyhouse in the southwestern corner of the province
  19. Yea she was holding her own. That bunny is heroic though lol
  20. I’d heard about both the U and the W. I kind of think that if the Covid isn’t under control by May 1st and isolation continues or a tighter lockdown is forced.... that’s when we’ll see the real drop.
  21. You mean the guy attacking the woman?
  22. For sure until the tractors run out of diesel. That being said I wouldn’t mind seeing it if fuel was no longer available tomorrow. Everyone I know would be self sufficient at producing/killing their own food.
