  1. Yeah, that's going to dissuade people... It's right on par with Metallica crying about people stealing their music on Napster from the comfort of their 12 bedroom mansion in Malibu.
  2. No. /END THREAD
  3. Are the apple slices with Happy Meals a new thing? They've been an option with the Canadian Happy Meals for a few years now. My niece and nephews love them because they come with a caramel dipping sauce, thereby negating the health benefits of the apples...go McD's!
  4. The dude is super old. By this time of the day he was already eating lunch. Maybe that's why he was cranky...they interrupted his lunch.
  5. Not to be a dink or anything, but I honestly can't think of one great play Poz made in his time in Buffalo....I never understood the love affair people had for him, while crapping all over Donte's play when they were at the same level of overrated in my books. JAX overpaid big time for an average ILB. All of you complaining about him leaving who be complaining about Nix if he signed him to this same deal. I hope Jacksonville enjoys the 18 games they get for their $42 million.
  6. According to Dan Patrick, she told him to go. She loved football as much as he did and she felt that Kraft was the only one who could get both sides to work it out. I wish he was our owner...
  7. I have noticed the anti-muslim crusaders around here are suspiciously quiet. A pure tragedy...regardless of the insane belief system this whack job had, people need to remember that he picked off over 85 young people. Kids practically. Special place in Hades for a person like him.
  8. I, by no means, am a jet expert. Just relaying what others have said. Apparently there's a difference in the tail profile? I'll let someone with an expertise in foreign military vehicles pipe in here. Where's Spun when you need him?
  9. It's a variation of the F-18 that Canada flies - the CF-18. I like the logo, it's a nod to the RCAF history of the city. Honors the military as well, which is never a bad thing.
  10. That's not true...Raimi was on board for a Spiderman 4 but Sony wanted to fast track the film for the summer of 2011. Raimi found that unreasonable so he cancelled his project. Maguire and the other actors determined that if Raimi wasn't directing it, they weren't interested so they all dropped out of it shortly after. http://www.deadline.com/2010/01/urgent-spider-man-4-scrapped-as-is-raimi-and-cast-out-franchise-reboot-planned/ For those wondering why Spiderman 3 was so terrible, look no further than Sony's involvement (MEDDLING) with the film. This film will blow all sorts of chunks. It's EMO Spiderman to the maxx.
  11. FIXED (since we're talking about baked goods here). http://bherbst.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Devotion-Ho-hos.jpg
  12. Let the board Ottawan fill you in... When the festival first started it was strictly a blues festival with blues musicians and some jazz sprinkled in. Unfortunately, that didn't do so well, so the festival started peppering itself with some bigger 'names' that were fringe "bluesy" and that was met with some success. Slowly but surely, more rock, pop, and hip-hop acts starting appearing and over the course of a few years, "Bluesfest" became more about a gigantic two-week music festival than about the blues. Blues still has a play there, but it's relegated to the side stages. "Bluesfest" is still the name but now everything is blue in color for marketing purposes. P.S. Cheap Trick was awesome until God decided He'd had enough of their licks and brought down the pain.
  13. You sir, have good taste and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
  14. IF, and that's an IF, it comes out that News Corp hacked the phones of the victims of 9/11, that will pretty much sound the death knell for Rupert Murdoch in the USA. There are few sacred cows, but 9/11 and those affected by it, definitely fall into that category. I'm not surprised that the problems overseas have made their way here. From a media perspective, the fall of News of the World has very serious ramifications to the industry.
  15. I guess that was Harrison who threw the game winning touchdown against Arizona in the final minute of the Super Bowl? Regardless of how stupid you think Goodell is, you don't badmouth your OWN TEAMMATES. That is supposed to stay in the locker room. He broke the code of the room, he'll be turfed soon.
  16. Haven't seen it here so I thought I'd add: Fitz and the Tantrums (throwback Rock/MoTown sound) And not necessarily new but Chuck Ragan (formerly of Hot Water Music) has some great solo stuff (if you're into solid acoustic). Just caught him and Paul Hause play a show.
  17. Who can forget Michelle Malkin's "disgust" at Rachel Ray's support of Islamic Jihad? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/28/dunkin-donuts-pulls-ad-fe_n_103859.html Seriously, why do people take these morons seriously!?!?
  18. Hope Solo (US goalkeeper) is SMOKING hot. As is most of the Swedish women's team (DUH!)
  19. As a long time Bills fan who crosses the border often to watch his team play, I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience with any of the locals whilst watching a game at the Ralph. Fortunately, none of the fans I've met are "angry" at us Canucks for taking a game away. In my opinion though, the whole thing sucks. Not because of losing a game but the fact that it's overpriced and a completely sterile version of the true Bills game day experience. I would hate to think any Canadian new to the NFL would use a Toronto game as the measuring stick of how great games at the Ralph are.
  20. Outside observer... Does Herman Cain have no chance at winning the Republican nomination?
  21. According to police, he was twice over the legal limit and doing 130 MPH at the time of the accident. Darwinism at it's very finest. Thank goodness no one else got hurt from the accident other than the driver and passenger. That thing was a bullet on wheels.
  22. The bartender claims that Dunn wasn't even remotely drunk. This could be him protecting his own arse after over-serving then letting a patron drive (makes him liable if he is drunk). The body didn't burn, it was recovered before the car went up in flames. They're doing the toxicology on it right now. If it comes out he was sober, a lot of "holier than thou" folks on this board better be ready with a mea culpa. I'm going to wait to pass judgement on the guy until we find out if he was wasted. If he was, then he's an absolute idiot.
  23. You're absolutely right John! People in Vancouver and Toronto are exactly the same type of "boorish, arrogant maple-leaf peddlars" as people from Regina, Saskatchewan and Flin Flon, Manitoba. Those two towns are full of rampant patriotism gone amuck! Your comments about Ottawa absolutely wreak of the smug obnoxiousness that a Vancouverite possesses. It's the same level of nonsense the city of Buffalo has to put up with from "better" cities like New York. Just like the people of Buffalo don't give a rat's arse what New York thinks, we of Ottawa could care less how Vancouver views our "boring" "surbananite" RIOT-FREE city. But carry on your need to present the "Ugly Canadian". Painting an entire nation with one fell stroke I guess is required these days to make the world a happy place.
  24. So you're using two events to describe Canada's sudden jingoism? One being the one of the largest events for measuring yourself athletically on the global scale in the Olympics and the other, an event in Buffalo where boorish Torontonians decided to be louts in Buffalo's downtown district. With regards to the Olympics, what you saw as "big superiority complex" I saw as a nation finally embracing a bit of patriotism. Why is it when Americans cheer and chant "USA #1" it's okay, but some Canadians want to prove to the world that they can hang in winter sports and suddenly "we're obnoxious"? And spare me pointing to SOME Canadians cheering against the US in the hockey tournament. It's hockey, USA is now Canada's biggest rival and if I were the US, I'd wear it as a badge of honor that the Canadians were so worried about playing the US, they wanted someone else to do the dirty work for them. You point to Vancouver and Toronto as your examples of how "Canada has changed". Ironic, as most Canadians not living in those two cities wouldn't even consider them a fair representation of Canadians. I lived in San Francisco the previous three years before moving back to Ottawa. I can safely see that apart from the climate difference, the people seemed the same to me. Apart from the few Americans I met that seemed to have a hate-on for Canada and their belief that Canadians thought they were better than them. Ironically, when I moved back to Ottawa, I heard the same thing about Americans. In both cases, I refuted these claims as imaginary. RE: the rioting - it's a VANCOUVER thing. Ottawa, Edmonton and Calgary all lost when they made it to the Cup Finals. Those cities weren't burnt to the ground by their unhappy inhabitants.
  25. My comments were just weak teasing too. If you've followed my history here, I'm still butthurt over the Heatley trade. Before that trade, I actually liked the Sharks...now I can't turn down any chance at a shot at the Sharks because of my hatred of that freaky-eyed loser. The best comment I heard in this series was about the lack of crowd noise in Vancouver vs. that of Boston's loud crowds. "One city is desperate to win a Stanley Cup, while the other feels entitled to it." Truer words have never been spoken.
