  1. Having been a bandsman, I like most brass arrangements of traditional carols. Of particular note would be Vaughan Williams variations on Greensleeves
  2. If you are referring to Maple Leaf Wrestling, we are going back to the 60's and 70's. the WWF did not exist back then. Some of the greatest legends, like Gorgeous George, go back to the 50's.
  3. I hadn't got my beard by then, yet.
  4. I remember Sweet Daddy Siki. The Sisilian beast was all hair from head to toe.
  5. Now there is a man that has it figured out. It took a mass coronary at age 40, to come to much of that realization myself. Yes ,I lost a pension, and my RRSP is worth squat. Thems the breaks. I still have a roof over my head. I am kept very busy, and have more than enough to live by as long as I stay within budget.
  6. I know the camp has long since been closed and the dining hall burnt down. Every once in a while I wonder what ever happened to some of the kids as they certainly left a lasting impression. I was a Mohawk in 1970. 9 years later I would be a Programme Director
  7. Don't know if you remember, or rode in, the "Timmy Run" organized by Whipper Billy Watson. A lot of the wrestlers would show up for the cause at various locations
  8. Boy, now I feel real old. I watched back in the days of Maple Leaf wrestling. The guys everybody hated most: Bulldog Brouwer, The Sheik, Gorgeous George. Guys that we all loved: haystack Calhoun, Tiger Jit Singh, Whipper Billy Watson, the Sicilian Beast.
  9. Dec 20th at Buffalo Wild Wings it is.
  10. Got rid of it after the first year. Actually I'm so bored with TV that I might watch a total of 2-3 hours a week, and 1/2 of that is the weather.
  11. That is what a fresh water cod is; Burbot/Ling
  12. When's supper, Cliff????
  13. Sounds like a better option.
  14. My clan would be interested.
  15. As the professor is very clear to point out. All of these invasive species issues are the result of "man's" tampering. They did not invade. They were introduced by man simply because we have never been good at looking at the long term effects, and consequences, of our actions.
  16. The bigger ones put up one heckuva fight.
  17. My objective is to try and catch a trophy sized beast of every species possible. I have 2 on the wall. I have also released a 4foot carp, a 2 lb perch, and a 15lb ling. Still got a long way to go on my list.
  18. Our govt is no different than the con artist when it comes to gambling. They both offer the unlikely chance of a quick score and life on easy street. The only difference is that the con artist can get 7 years, but the govt bureaucrat will get a nice pension for bilking the public of its money.
  19. Sometimes the couch is the safer place to be.
  20. Sadly, Lew, the law isn't so simple. Unless this person is convicted of telephone fraud, Bell can't do much without risking a lawsuit. The police need to go after the con artist. Even if Bell blocks him, he can just do what every other annoying telemarketer does, and pick up other phone numbers with other phone providers.
  21. Never heard of CHCH until we moved south to Toronto. At that time I was watching Hilarious House of Frightenstein on channel 11. "I swear by the sign of the 3 toed sloth,... to make Bbrrucie work once more" I forgot one other Sunday favourite at 4pm. Don Messers Jubilee. This was before CBC screwed up and put on that yodelling cowboy Tommy Hunter
  22. I've seen some really nice small space woodstoves like the "hobbit", but I have not seen a compact pellet stove.
  23. The Sunday afternoon TV schedule read as follows 4:00 Lawrence Welk brought to you by Sominex 5:00 Hymn Sing 5:30 Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom 6:00 Wonderful World of Disney with Uncle Walt 7:00 RedSkelton 8:00 Ed Sullivan
  24. There is one cardinal rule in all forms of media. Newspapers do not sell news. Television does not sell entertainment. Internet does not sell content. None of them are interested in selling people the truth. They only exist by selling advertising. No ads, no media, with the exception of public broadcasting.
