When I smoked ( about 11 years ago ) I used to really enjoy Al Capones which were more of a cigar-ette. Or small cigar. They were similar to what Eastwood smoked in his dusters and you could actually inhale which I would never do with the Cubans. Funny story for all you Americans. When one of the big U.S. Navy ships would often stop in Victoria,B.C. for a weekend and all the sailors would enjoy a few days taking in the sights and what not the few specialty cigar shops in town would sell out all of their stock of cubans and do really brisk business. I suppose because of the embargo the U.S. has against anything Cuban and the fact that the ships don't go through customs. I think the sailors probably loaded up with gifts for friends and family as well. I'm sure those store owners look forward to the ships arrival with visions of greenbacks dancing in their heads.

Woke up and had the misfortune of watching that Tums commercial where the guy and his girl are at an amusement park and he's trying to eat a corn dog thats sort of slapping him in the face kind of like its alive( and ahem, kind of phallic ) and he ends up with this stuff all over his face. Whats with that? It was disturbing on so many levels. Thats my complaint for today. Tasteless.

Thanks for all the kind words. Sorry to fill your thoughts with my families problems but sometimes its good to get it out. The boy is doing good considering and they give him a 70% chance of survival which leaves about 30% of which we don't even let cross our minds. He'll be infertile due to the radiation so we had a biopsy done and banked his sperm. Seemed like the right thing to do and one day him and his potential wife will thank us. Again, thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Sabrespace is filled with the best people and I've come to admire many of you. Cheers.

I've never complained on here,at least that I can remember but now its time. March 1st my son woke up and had trouble peeing. He's 13. He'd been having aches in his lower abdomen for about a month but our general practitioner misdiagnosed the cause. Went to a urologist and he did a rectal check with the finger and his exact words were " oh my god,he's got a mass blocking his urethra " Worst thing I've ever heard. Long story short he had an mri at the local hospital and was rushed to vancouver to bc childrens hospital by ambulance. Catheter inserted,cat scans,more mri,pet scan and right into a regimen of chemo that will run till dec2. Just finished 6 weeks of radiation treatment that ran 2 minutes a day and is still getting chemo.Turns out he has (pardon my spelling) a rhabdomiosarcoma. I've been told they see about 30 cases a year in Canada. Its a growth thats wrapped itself around his urethra,prostate,rectum and has grown into his bladder lining. Lost his hair so i shaved mine but thankfully after 3 months he's finally had the catheter removed. He's been poked,prodded and had what seems like every indignity a 13 year old can have but all in the name of his survival. Doctors and nurses are amazing and top notch for their fields. Drugs, medication coming out of our ying yangs. Back and forth to the hospital,probably 2 months stay so far between the bc childrens hospital and the easter seal house down the street from the hospital. Countless ferry rides back and forth to and from Nanaimo to vancouver. He's doing ok and another mri coming up on the 17th of june to gauge the shrinkage of the growth. All I can say is I've got lots to complain about but I thank god every day that I live here and am under Canadas medical system because this treatment,the hospital stay,the travel, all of it. Mri's,cat scans,pet scans x-rays,medications, its all been absolutely FREE. Not a cent spent and what I have spent is a tax write off for the year. So you will never hear me complain about our system or my sons treatment. Thats all i got.

C-Lo Green-Fukc you
Bruno Mars-Grenade
The Black Keys-Howling for you
On a side note Howling for you by the Black Keys would be great at the rink especially the intro which would make a great goal song. Check it out.

Yeah of course I know that, it was more of an observation than a criticism. Just fun to talk about in an (obviously) hypothetical sense. I still like the show and am looking forward to the second season. Anybody know when it is slated to return?
I agree. I'm also looking forward to the second season and it'll be interesting to see where they go with the plot. It's a lot better than watching all the reality crap thats thrown at us.
-
Its just real nice to see the boys score 6 goals.

That's weird. Huge hit, great ratings, money rolling in, so fire all the writers? :blink:
Here's something that always bugs me about all these zombie-apocalypse movies/shows: there is no freaking way that a bunch of zombies, no matter how many there are, could overrun and defeat our military on any large scale. I can't think of any possible scenario where that makes sense. It doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult to set up secure zones and guard the perimiters 24/7 with snipers. They could easily transport personel/supplies/ammo in and out via armored trucks or even tanks. Hell, just outfit trucks with battering rams and plow right through the sumbitches. I know it's a plot device but it's totally unrealistic to think that zombies could ever wipe out 99.9999% of the population, there's just no way.
no disrespect intended but for starters we are talking about zombies which don't exist which makes this a fantasy/sci-fi/horror series which has absolutely no basis in reality so to argue that zombies couldn't over run your military is about as crazy as the plot. Nothing makes sense and everything makes sense,its escapism and its really not meant to make you think. Of course the Zombies could over run your military because the writers wrote that into the plot. Take Merle for example. He cut his hand off to escape the Zombies but he can't get past the zombies at the rooftop door so how does he get off the 10 story building? Does he climb down with his one good hand and his stump?

Kind of like the arena the last few years.
Here's Mike Harrington's brutally honest assessment:
End-1st: In front of a library-quiet crowd (WHAT IS UP, PEOPLE?), the Sabres have a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes as the Sharks have a 12-9 edge in shots. I really have no idea what the deal is here. This has become the quietest rink in the league, which shows the disconnect the fans have with this team just keeps growing. I couldn't hear myself think for just about the entire game Tuesday in Boston, even when the Bruins were trailing. Not the case here. And before any of you get all defensive about it, several visiting writers have brought up this topic to me this season.
When you can hear a pin drop from my living room the rink is pretty damn quite. You don't have to be there to see that. The sabres are hanging onto a 1 goal lead and the crowd is literally silent. What Gives?

If this is a transitional year, then what the ###### were the last three?!!?!? This was supposed to be the year when Darcy's kids finally grew up! This was supposed to be the year when they learned how to be leaders and it was all supposed to come together! This was supposed to be the year where they learned from their playoff ass pounding and used it to propel them farther!
###### developing rookies! We've been doing that for 13 years. I just don't see Darcy and Lindy's master 20 year plan leading to anything.
It reminds me of the Bart Simpson quote, "Got it Dad, can't win, don't try."
By not making any moves this offseason, they've lowered our expectations so much that some of us are actually satisfied with the results so far? :blink:
You're right about Lindy. There is a big difference between being rah-rah and delusional. I'd really like to find out which it is because I've got my guess.
You're spot on about fans having lowered expectations. The expectations have become so low that this horse$hit is accepted. This team should be competing for the cup every year and instead that moron Regier has us happy to compete for the playoffs every year. He sells us a bill of goods every training camp about the exciting possibilities of growth from within and the odd 'tweek' or addition of some cheap end of his career veteran and everyone swallows so fast they become delusional with the loss of oxygen.
-
Merle will come back as some quasie Zombie that has evolved to Zombie status but with a functioning brain and he will organize the Zombies into his personal army...oh, and he'll have a hook.
-
One minor penalty called on Boston the entire game.
This is spot on and Boston is obviously a team that plays smashmouth hockey. Especially against the Sabres because they can.
-
Well that was another case of how to blow the game 101. That game was winnable and the boys caved again.
-
Savard and Roy should be on dancing with the stars as partners. Savard sells it as good as Roy.
-
Is giving up on a tied game late in the 3rd also a hockey fundamental?
Ya whatever smartguy. Actually at 10:40 of the 3rd when Pomminstein missed another wide open net I had a moment of doubt about the outcome of this game.
-
Thats fundamentals they teach in minor hockey Weber. You had no pressure. Boston will win this game.
-
Miller is on his game!

OMG! When you are done l'ing your fao, perhaps you can tell us why it's funny. Is it so silly/wrong/out to lunch to be down on this team or to think that they probably aren't going to make the playoffs? The season is now 31% over. The Sabres have 9 wins and 16 losses. 5 out of their top 6 forwards have been downright terrible. Their highest-paid player has been invisible for 20 out of the 25 games, loafed his way through a big divisional game tonight and made a terrible turnover that gave the Habs a 2-0 lead. Their 2nd-highest-paid skater has been even worse. Their front office is paralyzed. Their coach is playing out the last year of his contract.
What exactly have you seen out of this team that makes you think they will win at a 70% or so clip in the last 69% of the season?
LOL!
Agreed.and a damn fine post!
-
As much as it pains me to say it losing all these games in this fashion will at least speed up the process of ridding this team of the front office and specifically Regier. At least one can hope.
-
Nice outlet pass ######. That was the wrong jersey.
-
At least for the last three seasons, that advantage can't be seen in the power play numbers.
In fact, last season, Montreal was near the bottom of the league in home power plays.
That said, the last power play for Montreal was horsecock.
Ya I guess.Tonight it seems different. Maybe its just the fact that the habs seem to be far superior in the speed department and the Sabres are running around.
-
Its another nhl network tonight and blocked off my center ice package I paid a bunch of money for. atdhe.net is not working. Any suggestions?
I'm pretty sure you can get it at cbcsports.ca
-
If the boys can keep their composure and get a few damn shots on Price maybe they can pull off an upset but right now it doesn't look good.
-
The ice is slanted heavily in the sabres end and it would appear the refs are afraid of the hometown crowd. I rarely play the ref card but I can't help notice the advantage the habs get in their own barn.

One of the best 'winter' beers I've had is Granville Island winterale. Highly recommend it. Favorite beer is Guinness. Its a meal in a glass.
