"Don't taze me bro".

Clasic. I said out, not on. I was referring to the snowmobiles, including those driven by fishermen, that end up in the lakes. Carry on.

Yep. I'm going to the Canada game sunday afternoon and the US game that night.

Careful. Even heard someone trash his wife or family. Don't offer your 2 cents 'cause you'll get knocked on your ... fast.

Any recommendations on tackle stores?

I'll change my op. I am going to the hockey games at 4pm and 8pm.

Normally yes, but not on Christmas.

I plan on crossing the border around noon on Boxing day, to go to the junior hockey games at 4pm and 8pm, the Canadian game is 4pm. Conserns: Our dollar is near par and the boxing day shoppers might number tens of thousands. Bills home game against the patsy. Eightteen thousand other hosers going to the game. So? Just do the normal thing, listen to the radio and pick the least busy bridge?

Now we can focus on keeping them out of our lakes.

Alright, who caught the biggest bass of 2010?

Does it count if I used a 6 pounder for bait? Nice basses! -
The comments after the articles are even more entertaining. "If they wanted to really punish him they would have moved him down to the front row seats." "If they wanted to really punish him they would have given him seasons tickets." "Management has been throwing crap on the ice for the last 5 years." It's funny... but it still hurts.

Now I know how the goats feel.

You really make it easy to hate you.

http://www.nugget.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2898554 Lake Nipissing access on auction block? Two councillors pushing for review Local News By DAVE DALE The Nugget Public access points on Lake Nipissing may get assessed next year for potential sale, official park designation or to be left as they are. Coun. Dave Mendicino said he and Coun. Daryl Vaillancourt will ask council to adopt a motion directing staff to review 44 access points. "It's something that has been brought up on a yearly basis," Mendicino said, "and this might be a good time to get the information available for council." The vast majority of access points are road allowances within residential zones, he said, adding that an initial inventory was conducted in 2006. He said the list doesn't include any of the existing parks or public beaches. "I went and saw most of them during my first term," Mendicino said. "Some have been taken over by the abutting owners, but some have very unique characteristics and I would hope staff recommend they be designated as parks, and some could be sold as residential lots." The topic was raised last week during the community service committee's budget briefing. Dave Linkie, the city's chief administrative officer, told those in attendance there are a few that are wide enough for a single detached dwelling and worth $100,000 each as waterfront building lots "But it's going to be very, very controversial," Linkie said, noting staff will need instructions from council to proceed with a study and come back with a report. "Some are very well used, some we will need to keep for our own needs, while some are being encroached on," he said, describing how private fences and even a garage sit on a number of city properties. Jerry Knox, managing director of community services, said at least two stand out in his mind as deserving consideration as parks. The Ethel Street road allowance has unique sand dunes and another one on Campbell Avenue referred to as "first rock" by local residents, he said. "It would be a crime for anything to happen to that one . . . it would be my recommendation to keep them as parks," Knox said, adding there are others which don't serve anyone's interest but the people living beside them. "We know there's public interest and we'll have to have some sort of consultation," he said. There are four within close proximity in one area, Knox explained. "And we'll have to look to see if maybe there's a reason for it." Mendicino said staff, if council chooses to adopt the motion when it's brought forward early in 2011, would want to wait until spring to properly assess the access points when the snow is gone. "As part of their due diligence, they'll inspect the properties again," he said. The process would involve a report coming back to council before it's referred to committee for "fulsome discussion" before recommendations would be brought to council for a decision. But there's no guarantee it will get to that point. Coun. Tanya Vrebosch-Merry already said at the budget meeting she's not interested in selling public access. "Just a heads up," she said, "I'm not in favour of selling any lake access but I'm interested in knowing about encroachments.

That would be the 2.0 version. -
Thanks for the offer. I won't be denied my martyrdom. and you're right it's not worth fighting, but I will be bringing it up with city hall.

I did not deny my guilt and I could have done many different things, I also get the snow removal angle. My frustration was the 3 hours on SUNDAY morning that my car became a pumpkin. Our downtown, like many, has a hard time drawing people due to the usual urban/suburban dynamics, and yet here is an example where if I had left my car in any one of the large chain parking lots "uptown" I would have been fine. Our city has a large disconnect sometimes with what they say they want and their actions to accomplish those goals.

Separating the wheat from the chaff Eddie shore Doug Harvy Bobby Orr in Oshawa I've got a book somewhere from a few years ago that listed the "best" players to wear each number in the NHL. Some numbers had some stiff competition 1 through 10 in particular. Some numbers had only 1 or 2 players to have ever worn them at the point of publishing. -

No doubt the leafs could use the big M, but he never scored 50 goals in a season, let alone in 50 games. -
Interesting that the best knot for joining 2 lines of smiler size only tested out to 67%. I would be looking for something higher than %80.
