Believe it or not, there's girls that like hockey and don't flash.

I know.

I'm one of them.

off topic but im so excited, im going to a BOA game..live, all the way from San HO!

It might have had something to do with the fact that our women are actually good looking... oh and we dont shoot fireworks at them.... did anyone else see that video?

That was the dumbest night of the whole Oilers run. I was about 3 feet away from those girls in the shopping cart and this idiot just set the fireworks off. Everyone was ****ed and the guy just ran away. Luckily the girls were okay.

[Red Mile Style]

I had such great times on the Red Mile, stories like this one make it look like half-naked chicks were the only reason why people went. I'm sure there were people there just for that, but it was pretty contained to a certain section that was avoidable if you wanted it to be.

I'm not going to deny that there were moments where guys were, well, guys, and were abnoxious, but everyone just wanted to have a good time and were overall respectful. I don't remember a whole lot (one night my roomate and I walked all the way back to UofC from 17th... there were no cabs and we just started walking and next thing you know we were home!), but from what I do remember it was a blast.

awwww, I'm getting home-sick...

There was a professor at the U of C who did a study of the 'phenomenon' last year I think. It's just taken this long for Cosmo to get a hold of the report, I guess. Pretty weak of Cosmo's editors considering it is basically a manual for young women on how to be a better whore, and the Girls of the Red Mile were fantastic examples of how the lionwhore in every girl could let out their mighty roars.

It was a weird scene. The first little bit, I think people were shocked just how many folks were coming down to 17th after the games... then it sort of became this beacon and EVERYONE was down there by the middle of the Canucks series.

It was pure bliss for a few weeks and then the girls started flashing and it slowly degenerated into a bunch of horny losers coming down just for a chance to see some free boobies. It got pretty bad by the end of it and it just wasn't fun anymore.

I can't comment on the copper kilometer or whatever ######ed name the media gave the Edmonton celebrations as I wasn't there. That said, I am pretty sure things were better down here just due to the lack of fires, stabbings and women that resemble men.

[OilersBaby]

Yeah, its dumb wherever it happens, cuz the women are just doing it for the attention, and the guys...well, if you're THAT desperate to see some boobs, then you're pathetic.

It's not just at the Red Mile or the Copper Kilometer, but its an annual occurance at Mardi Gras celebrations throughout the US (obviously in Louisiana it's the biggest), and in South Beach during Spring Break. I live in SJ, and we're far from Louisiana geographically speaking, but even then, in Feb, during Mardi Gras, its boobs galore...

A part of me wonders why we dont make men flash their sexy abs or something. haha Im TOTALLY kidding.

[Flashpoint]

MY LOYNS ARE BURNING!


I just wish some of those topless girls had been topless women. You all know what I'm talking about...

[Red Mile Style]

I don't know... I am kind of mixed on the subject. I definately was not one of the girls, but I really don't see a problem with it. I don't think any girl was coerced into doing it, and if they want to be skanks, well, it's up to them.

It's freedom of expression and I'm sure the girls doing it liked the attention or else they wouldn't be doing it and the guys around obviously enjoyed it too.

Hey man, look at things like Woodstock too, rather than just Spring Break or Mardi Gras. People were completely nude there just wondering around. Some might even say it's artistic...

Kidding or not, there was a small segment off of 17th ave and 11th street where it looked like it was a pride parade and guys were doing this to each other and then going into the bushes for a jubilant romp, to celebrate the flames success, of course. This little off-shoot of the red mile was dubbed the hersey highway. FACT.

The funniest chants I heard during the run were from girls responding to the 'shirts off for kiprusoff' .. they would turn around and say "Flames in six, show us your dicks!" Pretty good sense of humour there.

One guy was honking at my girlfriend (now wife) saying "Shirts off for Kiprusoff" so when I turned around and flashed him, he leaned out of the window of his ****ty car and yells "That's only for girls, fag!".

I thought that was pretty funny too.

I was just thinking- if it was "right" for the girls... why weren't the guys showing the goods?
