Dude....really? You decided to go there and check it out? Really?

You've changed man....you've really changed...

The guys on the team acted like I was sick for checking it out, but by the end of the night pretty much everyone had made a trip to "the stall" to see it.

It's kind of like a car accident, you know it won't be pretty, but you gotta look.

Those "homeless", "hungry" people that stand in the middle of the road at intersections bug me. A lot. Why is this trend in begging tolerated? Who gives these people money?

WOW, just finished watching In Bruges. Awesome movie. Totally unexpected.
Kind of reminded me of a Guy Ritchie type movie.

The "eggs" thread is berserk.

This happens to me all the time. I met some really cool Flames fans Saturday who came down from Calgary to Phoenix, but all were shocked that a couple of girls from LA could be Flames fans. We were told by several people we must come to the Saddledome for beer and pocket dogs. The Flames fans around us were SHOCKED we hadn't had a pocket dog.

Thanks to Center Ice, you don't have to be conveniently located geographically to be a Flames Fan.

I've seen the same guy at teh corner of 16th & 68th NE for over 6 months. Sometimes he disappears for a few days, but I think he is only going onto the median coming from a different direction. He's still using the same frigging sign.

And I have seen people giving him money.

i don't really remember anything that happened this weekend.

Well think about it, if he gets on average 1$ per red light, and the light cycles once every 2 minutes, his sign is making him 30$ a hour, and i'm gonna go out on a limp and suggest he isn't reporting his income Yeah the working conditions suck but gotta pay the bills somehow, might have to let the facial hair go for a few days and hit some of the intersections near by

I have 2 beer cans on my desk.
If I put my cigarette out in one of them, do you
think I will remember which can it was?

I hate it when people smoke in their house... YA I know they can do whatever they want in their house but I hate the SMELL.. Times it has bothered me

Singer in my band and the Bassist Smoke... WE practice at singers house... I get to come home stinky!!

I bought a very nice Dean FBD ML guitar off a dude, and ended up reselling it because the stale smoke smell on the guitar/case made me gag so I never played it.

We have tossed/given away clothes that we get from my Sister-in-law (for my daughter) because they stink.

Now to be fair we practice in the singers Garage, and thats the only place he smokes, so the rest of his house is ok.

The last 2 both have children they are subjecting to that stink... I hate it when people smoke with no disregard for the kids health they are destroying. My sister and my Mom both smoke (although my mom quit about a month ago) but you would never know it, they both dont smoke in there houses or in their vehicles.

I grew up in the SF bay area, and somehow got into hockey. When I first got into hockey, I had a friend who grew up in BC and was an Oilers and Canucks fan. We collected cards and as I shuffled through my deck, I noticed the flaming C. Then I remembered that MacGyver used to were a Flames hat in the early episodes, did not know what the logo was, but thought it was cool...yeah, way obscure. I though, this will be my team

Then I came a cross 89-90 O-Pee-Chee card number #232, Theoren Fleury. Fourteen had always been my "lucky" number. Small guy, lucky number...this will be my favourite player and favourite team. I got all the Fleury cards I could get, until I "grew out of the hobby".

Basically, Theoren Fleury (and MacGyver) made me a Flames fan. Theo's OT goal celebration locked it for me...and it also pissed of my friend who was an Oilers and Canucks fan. Been a Fan ever since (way before the Sharks came to town).

I even worked at an ice rink and got all the gear that Fleury used.

Another question I have is this: Are you interested in screwing with their heads? I can think of some fun ways to convince people you're Canadian and then mess with them for years.

I listen to Fan960 when I am at work, I watch Canadian television when I can...even watched the Curling Championship last year. I cheer for Canada during the Olympics. I feel like a Canadian born in the wrong contry.

I like messing with people's heads.

Awildermode... I sing O Canada at work. I've only been to Quebec and Niagra Falls for maybe 2 days a long time ago.

FBI Warnings and other things I can't fast forward through on DVDs, drive me insane.

^^^ Just rip it and take them out then burn them... You can skip everything and have it autoplay from the movie only.

[rockstar]

^^^ Or go take a piss, or grab a drink, or go outside and see what the weather is like.

Or turn to your special someone and say, "Hey. I love you."

Yeah, but that's costly and time consuming. It's more of an annoyance than anything.
