she sang at the funeral of a guy i went to high school with.

Probably best not to say you'll bite when talking about blowjobs.

I went to high school in Sicamous. Kris Beech was in my Grad class and I remember being taller than Shea Weber at one point, which is a loooong time ago as I'm only 5' 3". Shea's mom used to be my hairdresser and my sister played hockey with his little brother.

And I was on the Buckshot Show twice, once in the birthday book and once with my kindergarten class.

And I once made it on the Jumbotron at the Saddledome and won $500 for my Playoff sign in 2008.

Back in the good old days (2000) when the Flames were not quite so financially stable, there was the "Flames Forever" campaign to try to drum up seasons ticket sales so the team wouldn't be sold. One of the ads they did was to have the letters F-L-A-M etc. painted on the bellies of a bunch of pasty out of shape hockey fans. I was the "F" in Forever. That ad was in the Sun, on the side of buses, all over the place. I think I got a Flames cap and a pair of tickets for it.

Amazing to remember how much the team was struggling for STH just over a decade ago.

My dad was the equipment manager for our town. He used to get the sticks and goalie equipment (our town supplied the goalie equipment and extra sticks back then). He bought it all from Ken Hitchcock when he worked in the basement of United Cycle when it was on Whyte Ave. Ken was awesome and would give me free stuff.

Funny - my Dad did the same thing - are we brothers?

Not even a word of lie. This is my pinnacle.

On a scale of 1-10 how was he? Did you get tested after?

Nothing wrong with that by the way.

I'm guessing that she knew her way around the... watchtower.

You saw my face all over advertising for U of C Continuing Education around a year ago.

I was in US customs here in Calgary the same time that Mike Vernon was trying to get a Work visa to go to Tampa Bay to be their goaltending Coach I believe...

The Customs officer wasn't going to let him in because he didn't have the required three years experience as a "Consultant"

That and I met Stephan Bonnar at the airport in Hartford about 5 years ago...no pics though...

Being part of a dark underbelly for a long time, one of the original owners of shroomery.org and part of the infamous ripper i told you i was hardcore IRC death that made headlines around the world.

Also Magnus Ver Magnusson punched me in the stomach once, I most definitely deserved it

about a million years ago, I won a 3 speed bike on the Dale Harney show. I think I was 10 at the time.

I played drums at four sold out Keith Urban concerts at the 'Dome in Calgary and Rexall Place in Edmonton. I've been interviewed by Global News and CBC a couple of times. Also, definitely not my proudest moment, but Mantracker tried to sleep with me when we were partying together at a hotel in Ottawa

Edit - My Great (x7) Grandfather was a Founding Father of Confederation too.

My great uncle, Leigh Miller, was the fastest man in the world (world record holder) in the 1920s. It was the 100 yard dash at the time. He's in the Nova Scotia hall of fame, I have it at home, but here's the best link I could find in my 2 minute search...

Are you a man? If so, it could explain his interest in "tracking".

Got into a fist fight with Todd Marchand when he was an Oiler at a house party in St Albert. around 96.
I chipped his tooth lol.
I was dating his ex girlfriend he was drunk and wanted her back. I didn't know she used to date him.
I didn't know anyone there except her.

Buchberger was with him I thought he was going to tune me in but pretty much broke it up.
McAmmond not involved was also there.
The 3 of them left shortly after.
I didn't even know who they were except Buchberger. He scared the jeebus out of me.

I also got into a bar fight 86' with Todd Brooker he was hitting on my girlfriend at the time. I came back from the bar put the drinks down and I hit him in the throat.

Even now my friends that were there shout "Broooker" and laugh about that.
It was pretty crazy but has become funny.
