  1. The abominable Dr. Phibes Soylent Green Not sure if they are pre seventies but they sure gave me nightmares. I couldn't sleep on my back for years after seeing Vincent Price drop that goo onto that dudes face from the ceiling and have those insects eat his face off.
  2. Digging back into my childhood and borrowed a schoolbook off my son. Thoroughly enjoying Treasure Island the second time through. That book put the adventure bug in me back in the day and its no different now. Good read.
  3. Imo a bad idea to bring back a has been.
  4. Bad idea to bring back the past and Hasek wouldn't play here regardless.
  5. I agree the temple shot would have been the right choice.
  6. The 22 caliber didn't work for him but its actually the perfect weapon for this and the weapon of choice for hitmen apparently because it enters the head but doesn't exit , it tumbles or ricochets through the brain. Anyways, I hope he maintains and continues to seek help for his depression. Life is a gift if you live in the present.
  7. Well. Never heard about the suicide attempt. Did he put a bullet in his head? Mans lucky to be alive.
  8. Actually, the Canucks head coach Alain whatsisname called him out publicly during training camp a couple years back when he was going through the backproblems and basically said he was faking. So someone did in fact say he wasn't a hard worker and that he wasn't trying. The Vancouver franchise dropped the ball and called out a 19 or 20 year old publicly because their medical staff misdiagnosed his injury and they essentially thought he was faking it. Dumbkoffs!
  9. Those are some good pics. Mmmm, hitting on a zombie takes on a whole new meaning but I saw some Ghoulishly hot woman in those shots.
  10. The thread that just keeps on giving. This is some interesting conversation to say the least and highly enjoyable. Thanks peeps.
  11. I listen to the Vancouver sports media every day at work on 1040 and every time Gillis talked about his first draft pick ever he absolutely gushed about the kid. His above average intelligence, his work ethic, his hockey sense ( which was off the board apparently ), his outstanding character, his desire to be the best, yadda yadda yadda. It was all about pumping the tires of the kid he used his first overall pick on and was really him endorsing his own choice in making that pick. Now he does the opposite and attackes the kids character, his motives, his family, yadda yadda yadda. Basically endorsing his choice in making that trade.At this point is anyone surprised that Gillis would throw Cody under the bus while at the same time he pumps Kassians tires ?
  12. I second that proclamation. ;)
  13. I especially liked the part about that episode of W.K.R.P. in Cincinnati where they drop live turkeys from the helicopter as part of a promotion but forget that Turkeys don't fly.
  14. Huh ? I agree Rick. Gillis looks bad on this trade and he's spinnin it. It may turn out that Kassian is a decent player in this league but for right now it looks bad.
  15. Actually on the T.S.N. web sight he did say issues in the article I read.? Does it matter? To Cody and his peeps Gillis probably had issues that they had to deal with.
  16. I'm currently reading the mammoth book of pirates by Jon E. Lewis. Incredibly detailed first hand accounts of famous pirates exploits by the likes of Edward Teach ( Blackbeard ), Henry Morgan, Howard Pyle and Captain Kidd. Take every nasty stereotype you've ever heard about pirates and multiply, double or triple it. Its cool to read these stories from a historic perspective rather than Hollywoods take. One of the more noteworthy was Howard Pyles taking of Panama from the Spanish. Imagine ransacking a city,Holding it Ransom and sailing into the sunset with all of the riches after holding the city hostage for months. What a party.
  17. Just my opinion but I don't let foligno go in any package for Rick Nash. His potential right now at least to me is he brings more upside in year 2 and specifically 3 and could you imagine him playing on a line with Nash? I've just never had the mancrush on Nash that some on this board do. At least not giving up 2 firsts a player like Foligno plus the shite this team doesn't want like Roy. I keep stafford and play him on Ennis line with Foligno if at all possible next year.
  18. At the time of the trade they interviewed Luongo and a few other Canucks about losing Hodgson and Luongo kept saying Hodgson had a big head then laughing. At one point another canuck who just happened to be walking by said ' who, Cody ? ' in response to hearing Luongo say big head. This went on for quite a while during the interview with laughs and remarks thrown in from the other players in the dressing room. I'm sure he was liked in the room but you could tell the players felt he had a bit of an ego problem which isn't uncommon for pro's but maybe not a rookie.
  19. I agree Rick but based on what Shamahan has done historically Keith gets 5 or less. I'm not sure what he actually gets but thats my guess. Backstrom has been out for 2-3 months from a similar hit and the aggressor in that case got 2 games. On a phone meeting with Shammy. Breaking news- Apparently the league wants a face to face now instead of a phone conversation so historically that means 6 or more.
  20. The Sedin hit was a hockey play where contact to the head was secondary to the shoulder to the body. If anything it may have been a little late. He received a 2 minute minor penalty. The Keith hit to Sedin wasn't a hockey play it was retribution for the earlier hit. The puck was 15 feet about Sedin. He never had possession and as he looked up for the puck Keith drove his elbow into his head. The head was the primary target and at no time did Keith try to hit the body. Keith has a telephone meeting with Shamahan tomorrow at 11am western time which means 5 games or less. Sedin has no such meeting.
  21. The lady with the hood and the 2 armless zombie slaves is straight out of the comic book series. This is an escape from reality not reality so don't ask for reality in a zombie series. Sorry. It don't exist. Again as they said last night on talking dead the new hooded character is straight out of the comic series and apparently she is one of the most popular characters. Staying true to the comics the series is based on doesn't make the series hokie.Imo.
  22. Just watched the last episode and they're setting up season 3 quite nicely. On talking dead they admit they are introducing a new female character played by a black actress. She was the biggest teaser of the last episode season 2 when she appeared out of nowhere to save Andrea. She of the hood and the armless zombie slaves. Muhahahaha ! Can't wait for season 3. The fall seems so far away.
  23. So like someone said up thread you can carry the virus from a scratch ect. but it won't actually show itself till you die then it re-animates you as a zombie. Makes sense.
