my gear grinder is from last night. we were going out last night and my wife insisted that i drive. i rarely drive her vehicle and we got an inch of new snow late yesterday afternoon and she had heard that the roads were crazy slippery. her vehicle is a year or 2 old - so it's got all wheel drive, traction control, anti slip/skid stuff and abs. i'm used to driving my truck... 25 years old, lifted 6", 35" mud tires, rear wheel drive and traction control and abs weren't even a dream back when my truck was made. we got onto a safe, flat stretch of road with no traffic so i wanted to see what her vehicle would do under a little stress. i tried to put it into a bit of a skid and you could feel the traction control stuff kick in and my wife gets all ticked off at me. i turn to her and say, ' look - you insisted that i drive. i want to know what your car (which i never drive) will do if i get into a skid so i know how to react!"
so i guess my gear grinder is getting in crap for trying to find out in a very safe way (i was going maybe 15kph) how my wife's vehicle reacts in a skid. i've had this 'chat' with her before - forcing her to engage the abs so she knows what it feels like when that system kicks in so she won't panic if she has to ever slam on the brakes

Gags has also got to be the worst nickname in all of hockey. Makes him sound like some street walking man whore. That and Horcs.
"Horcs feeds it to Gags, where it's finished off by Yaks". Gross.

my all time favorite hockey call was a few year's ago. jeff finger was playing for the av's and got a breakaway on luongo. the call from jim hughson is below in my sig. when jim blurted that out all conversation in the room stopped, my buddies and i looked at each other and then erupted into laughter
