Nope. Is that a superstition?

That's what I thought, but I didn't ask nicely enough I guess. Angry fans are loyal, apathetic ones just go away... or pick another team... and then another.

Please provide an example of these "so called fans" overt enthusiasm. BTW the centurions are not only headed for a ruff few season on the ice, but off it as well. Their so call fans have stopped showing up at the arena, so enjoy them while you got 'em.

Hey Brandon, Gord Pyzer mentioned your pb successes while on the fan 590 this morning. Guess we have to believe you eh.

It's a long way to March, but being in first is better then anything else.

My son is in, although he wiped it on his sleeve right after this photo.

http://www.nugget.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3354222 Veterans photos. stories featured in book By DAVE DALE The Nugget Updated 2:00pm There can never be enough said or done to honour veterans of war. But there can always be more and the book, 'Honour' published by Chartwell Seniors Housing does a good job of capturing the essence of why Canadians enlisted for military service seven decades ago and how the experience shaped their lives. Frank Kelly, 87, of Barclay House on Chippewa Street, would have fit right in with the stories documented by photographer Yuri Dojc as he travelled across the country meeting veterans coast-to-coast. Proceeds of the book and DVD released this year go toward organizations committed to the remembrance of Canadian veterans, including the War Amps Operation Legacy. Kelly was 17-years-old and not quite finished high school at Scollard Hall when he joined up in 1942. He was shipped around for training at various bases in Canada, eventually landing in England and assigned to the Royal Air Force during the summer of 1943. He served 44 missions dropping bombs from Lancasters with two RAF units, one mission shy of finishing his second tour. "It was certainly interesting," Kelly said Tuesday. His job was to aim through a sight and drop the bombs while also manning the front gun turret if attacked in flight. While none of the big Lancaster bombers he was flying in were shot down, the front Plexi-glass cone in the front was blown out twice and they dodged shrapnel more than once. Kelly wears his medals to honour his many friends who didn't make it back from the war. "It's more or less to honour all the people I knew in the war," he said, describing how many of the friends he grew up with in North Bay went to war and never came back. "The medals are just a way of honouring them." Kelly was among the lucky ones to survive and return to start careers and raise families. After finishing high school with extra courses at the North Bay Normal School — now the local office for the Ministry of Corrections — he attended the University of Toronto to become a mining engineer. He worked for Inco in Sudbury for decades before returning to North Bay in 1988 for retirement. Two of his daughters live here and visit him at Barclay House often. He has 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren to keep him busy as well. Kelly will be on hand at the Barclay House Ladies Auxiliary tea Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. to share his experience. Members of the public are welcome to attend for $3 and copies of the 'Honour' book will be available for sale at $10 each. Barclay House is at 600 Chippewa St. West. [email protected]

Good point. I'd run a day's pay through the engine, fix my hair and have a smile for a month.

I can't fault him for selling it. I do the same, I don't own a vehicle capable of towing that rig. I'd sure turn it into a rig and a trip, or two, in a heart beat though.

God cares about sports? He/she must have had money on the game.

Hope not but... Game 7 is likely going to be a dud.

Four of us drove to 3 hours to Orchard Park and then our wives went shopping and it still cost less then it would to go to a Bills game in T.O. Problems with Bills in T.O. 1. Corporate bozos badly misjudged the price point 2. It may be a "home" game for the bills but it is more of a neutral site type feel i.e.. no atmosphere. 3. Tough to get regular Joes, and Jills (see what I did there?), in the mood with a lack of a true tailgate... no atmosphere again. 4. Up until this season the Bills have come in with no buzz

3-1, 3-3, 3-4. The scores by period. ... and then a baseball game that neither team seemed to want to win.

Amusing book.

Flossed

Anybody feel like hard boiled eggs?

Spelling often isn't as critical as puncuation. LOL

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

NUTS!

Is it 1986? Jets Flyers game is 8-8 with time left in the 3rd!!! tsn said it's the first 16 goal game since the lock-out.

I like my fuji water proof camera. http://www.fujifilm.ca/products/digital_cameras/xp/finepix_xp10/index.html It's less then $200, it's small and does the job. Buy a floating strap for whatever water proof one you get.

Good thing I already know about history.

I ice fish because it is just about the only option for 3-4 months of the year where I live. I prefer soft water, not because of the warmer weather, but because casting for fish is my preferred way to spend my time between catching fish. Part of winternet isn't the lack of fishing, but the lack of other activities/chores such as cutting the grass, washing the car etc.

The key word being usually. I also almost always view this site through the "view new content". So all topics come up based on the time of the last response. If I'm not interested in "used snow tires" I don't open the topic. If the title author is Bunk or someone else that posts great photos and tales I wait until I'm home. If the title is "topless pics of TJ" I make sure I purge my stomach first.

Don't like it, don't read it. Who's twisting thier arm? I ussally wait for a thread to get locked before opening it. That way I don't go off on someone.
