  1. Because they showed up in shape? Because they did not continually ice the puck?
  2. ^^ Being offended about other people being offended, Is so 2019.
  3. That was hilarious, and graphic.
  4. Really liked him in Wanted: Dead Or Alive - 1986 Blind Fury - 1989
  5. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/entertainmentmovies/rutger-hauer-star-of-blade-runner-dies-aged-75/ar-AAENJQs?ocid=spartandhp " Rutger Hauer, the Dutch actor best known for his role as cyborg Roy Batty in seminal sci-fi film Blade Runner, died at the age of 75. His website announced the news, saying that Hauer had died on Friday “after a very short illness… Rutger passed away peacefully at his Dutch home”. Director Guillermo del Toro was among those paying tribute, calling him “an intense, deep, genuine and magnetic actor that brought truth, power and beauty to his films”. Hauer’s appearance as the blond-haired “replicant” Batty in Ridley Scott’s 1982 film remained his signature, with Hauer writing much of the dialogue for his memorable final speech. Scott had cast him sight unseen on the strength of a string of performances Hauer had made for fellow Dutch film-maker Paul Verhoeven, including Katie Tippel, Soldier of Orange, and Turkish Delight. Born in 1944 in Breukelen, Hauer served a short stint as a medic in the army before finishing his training as an actor. Verhoeven cast him in his first significant screen role in the 1969 TV series Floris, before giving him a role in his 1973 feature Turkish Delight. After completing a number of films for Verhoeven, Hauer gained attention in Hollywood playing a brutal terrorist in the 1981 Sylvester Stallone picture Nighthawks. Blade Runner, though a commercial flop on its release, swiftly became a much-admired cult film, and Hauer became a fixture in both Hollywood and European cinema. The Hitcher, in 1986, was another attention-grabbing role, and the lyrical 1989 Italian drama The Legend of the Holy Drinker won the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival. In the 1990s Hauer became well known in the UK for series of commercials for Guinness beer. © Everett Collection/REX FEATURES Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher. Photograph: Everett Collection/REX FEATURES In recent years Hauer’s acting work was largely confined to low budget and cult films, including Dario Argento’s Dracula 3D and Hobo with a Shotgun. He was married twice, to Heidi Merz (from whom he was divorced) and Ineke ten Cate, who survives him.
  6. They are doing all right in the field and at the plate, especially given how young most of the players are, but they will need better pitching.
  7. Having been in biology classes I am aware that the DNA is as similar as I know. When I open my mouth I see a combination of incisors, canines, pre molars and molars, this would indicate that humans are designed to eat a multitude of food groups. When people stop growing incisors and canines, if we ever do, then feel free to talk about my dietary choices. Until then you eat what you want, and I'll do the same.
  8. The years are going by like fence posts on the highway.
  9. Nope, it was at the cost of some animal's life.
  10. Watching the game right now against Detroit and thinking the Jays are looking really good, in terms of the future, for batters and fielders. However I don't know that the same can be said for their pitching, is there anyone on their roster that would/will be with the team when it tries to contend in the play offs?
  11. 'n 12 months his contract will appeal to a team like OTT b/c of the cap hit being far more than the $." That's what I thought about L.E and his $6 mill.
  12. And those factors were critical to a fair trial, thus based on the evidence that was NOT entered in the first trial; the accused is found not guilty, just like he would have been if the first trial was held properly.
