You are just like some of the commenters. Of course, the photo was 'staged'. The photog did not just happen upon 2 dudes playing around on a pond with the iconic Peggys Cove lighthouse as the backdrop on a beautiful day at sunset. The setting is spectacular in any event and that is the main thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 What lunatic buys AFC/NFC or conference championship gear? If your team wins the championship, then you buy that stuff. If your team loses the championship, at least you don't have a $60 reminder hanging in your closet about how much it sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have the conference champ T-shirt you boxed set of 2019 $TEAM_NAME T-shirts will be incomplete. Big hole between "[A|N]FC Divisional Round Champion" and "Super Bool Champion". Note: I didn't intend to sprinkle computer references into this post when I started it, it just happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The groomsmen gifts the night before, at the rehearsal dinner, were beer steins emblazoned with "Eastern Conference Champions" stuff. I still hold the groom partially responsible for what happened the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) So I have HQ Trivia* on my phone. Tonight was a special night of Gilmour Girls questions. I have never seen the show, although I have heard of it. Barely, but I have heard of it. I'm betting it was from the 90s or something. I got the first six right on blind guesses. (The first one is usually a gimme no matter the category, but still I had to guess. It had something to do with Melissa McCarthy.) And then I lost. *If you like trivia, I highly recommend this. It's free, and you can win cash. BIG cash. So far, I've won $7.43 in four months. Someday I'm going to cash that in and buy PA an ice cream.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I am having a lot of fun playing with my tablet. Much prefer using the desktop version rather than the mobile version of SabreSpace. Yup. NS just stepped into the 21st century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I am not sure how to post a link on my tablet, but the Tim Hortons guy (Ron Joyce), who was born and raised in NS, has kicked the bucket. Not a fan of the coffee, but RIP. He did a lot of good in the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a discussion I had with an IT colleague the other day. We were talking about old technology and he had a doozy when he was working help desk - a customer was calling to try to understand why his PC wasn't reading the floppy disk once he inserted it. After a couple back and forths, it was discovered that the customer used scissors to transform his old 5" floppy disk to fit into the "newer" 3.5" slot in his PC. I know its the 1990's, but that's not how technology works buddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only way you that it would actually be thick enough (that's what she said). 11 minutes ago, New Scotland (NS) said: I am ready. Will you talk me through it?
