The GT "Car" luck charm
This is a fairly personal story but one I thought I should share. My girlfriend isn't really a hockey fan and always gives me a hard time about how much time I spend on CP, but after recent events... She wanted me to send out a CP shout out.
She is a first year law student who was currently in the process of applying for one of the first year articling positions. Calls were supposed to go out today starting at 5 PM (it's a very regulated process). Only 10% of first year students get a position. By 5:20 she figured that she was not selected (as they usually find out immediately at 5:00). Thinking of the Flames recent success with the "car pictures"... I decided to send her a text of a 1967 Corvette Stingray. She didn't understand how this could be my response and began to get annoyed. I started to explain why I sent the picture and she immediately had to stop me. She got her call from her number one firm and she got her job! She couldn't be happier and I couldn't be happier for her. The car picture luck charm strikes again!

dude, she's probably read 50 shades of grey, you don't need to disguise your perversions as 'game rituals', she'd probably be into it anyways.

What's the back story on this? Something to do with the Bruins game?
