No, its the shed for the VIP carriages and donkey carts for the plebes.

You have a rich fantasy life, don't you?

Fixed that for you.

is that a fat joke? Maybe. The center in an Oreo is mostly lard.

Thanks, Mike. Gives us some clues as to the shape of things to come.

Re: Richards' footspeed or lack thereof- whilist living in Saskabush, I had occasion to see Ray Elgaard a few times. He sure as spit didn't scare anyone with his speed, but he was good enough with his hands to more than offset that. Richards comes across as a good student of the game, durable and with good work habits. Not worried about him at all.

Are ewe trying to pull our eyes over the wool?

I love the quantum shift in organizational attitude. The "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" mindset has to translate down to the field where players know that the effort they put out and pain they endure will not be for naught, and they had better put out or be replaced. The difference between winning and losing is often confidence, and if the players know that all the stops have been pulled out with going to the Grey Cup as as assumption, everybody wins, fans, management and players alike.

Yaaaay! Another piece of the puzzle in place.

I suggest that, if you are going to do that sort of thing, you may want to take some "before" pictures of your face to help the plastic surgeons in the reconstruction.

I think it's also important to note that some religions have moderated their views in conjunction with changing social mores, and others haven't. The ones that haven't should be the focus of ongoing vitriol in my opinion, especially in places where people are being executed. Yes, the Irish have made amazing strides! Thank God it wasn't left to the politicians. They would have been dithering until the next millenium.

So what's Iran's excuse? In Iran's case, religious extremism. Ever notice how the extremists in pretty much every reiigion all adopt the same belief system- homophobia, subjugation of women, intolerance of other beliefs, rigid behavioural rules, violent militancy and so forth? It also applies to the nuts in other non-relgious groups as well.

I think its more how some of the damaged or power-hungry individuals within various groups choose to interpret the culture of their group, although there are groups who are completely malignant (like the white supremacy lunatics funded by the Coors family).

Not less than 9 & 9, but 10 & 8 and even 12 & 6 should not be considered out of reach.

Much of the virulent homophobia comes from people (male and female) who have homosexual histories or sexual deviancies themselves- like Jim Bakker and, recently TV "star" homophobe Josh Duggar was outed as a pedophile.

As someone said, "Silence is complicity". When our own actions are above reproach, then we can criticize others.

There seems to be a certain percentage of almost every group who fit into the "lunatic fringe" category, and by no means are they all "Christians" or even religious adherents of any sort. You will find more of them in certain groups, like fundamentalist literalist believers of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and so forth, but you will also find them in macho right-wing cultures like the military, and police, and the neanderthal attitudes even extend to gynophobia, racism and beyond.

Tolerance as long as we all agree and don't debate right? It is not the debate that is the issue, it is the vitriol and sanctimoniousness that too often creeps into the debate. Once people start speaking for God, we're into the cesspool.

Apart from one catch that sticks in my memory, what did Poblah ever do to warrant a return invite?

Probably need to time him in the 40 with a calendar, but he has gotten sacks.

Very true, unless of course he is an albino. We have to draw the line somewhere. Especially the left-handed Lithuanian albinos. They're the worst.

Wouldn't it be neat of we had more than the minimum number of starting Canucks in games? It has happened on other teams before, but often.

This is no longer the case since Rogers and MTS got into bed together a few years back. They share towers in Manitoba so wherever you get an MTS signal you'll get a Roger's signal now. Was it not Bell who bought the controlling interest in MTS?

What I find heartening is that this discussion is taking place openly here without God, the Bible, "unnatural desires" and so forth being dragged into the exchanges. Twenty years ago, an open discussion such as this would not have been possible. It is slow progress to be sure, but it is progress nontheless, and all here should be complimented on the mature level of discourse.

Depending on where you live, Koodo may be an option. I am not hyping Koodo because I am getting anything out if it, but we have been with Rogers, MTS, and now Koodo, with Koodo being the best experience and fit. The Koodo website has coverage maps if you want to check them out. Might work for you.
