    My guess would be that it may well have been caused by the earth being hit by an M class solar flair and CME yesterday.

    all this work to make a crappy piece of meat taste good. Why not save up and treat yourself to wet aged rib eye and be done with it. i don't eat a lot of meat but when I do, I buy the best quality.

     

    Because I eat meat for every meal.

    Already costs me $135 a week in groceries just for myself.

    If I ate $15 steaks for every meal I would never be able to afford to build my lakeside retreat!!!! :tease::tease: :tease:

    Watching a little of the TO Rock vs Buffalo Bandits, there should be more games televised :dunno: , can't believe John Tavares' uncle is still playing at 46, he is a legend, you got to be tougher than nails to play that game.

     

    Went to a bunch of Rock games when I lived back East.

    A couple of title games too. :)

    I never stop the boat either, and I don't own a giant cruiser.

     

    I always stop my boat as I like to just fight the fish mano a mano!!! :D

    Besides most of time I'm alone and don't need to worry about the boats position when I should be concentrating on the fish @ the end of my line.

    So the wife and I are walking to get into Walmart, and halfway through the crosswalk in front of Walmart doors, a young lady driving a mazda zooms though the crosswalk going at least 20+ kms and literally within a few feet of us. I am not the type to make a big deal of things like this, but I did make sure to stare at the car as it drove off just so that she realized her mistake :oops: .

    Guess what happens next?!? After driving off for about 50 or so feet, she rolls down the window and gives us the finger!! :angry:

     

    At that moment we kind of laughed it off, but in all seriousness, to do something that wreckless and to top it off with that :wallbash: .

     

    What would you guys do if that happened to you?

     

    There are more than a few vehicles running around with my boot print on them because they did that. :ninja:

    Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri will sit out the next two games, the team announced on Wednesday morning.

    Toronto forward Nazem Kadri will be held out of the Maple Leafs' next two games.

    Team president Brendan Shanahan says the team is cracking down on issues with the 24-year-old centre.

    Kadri missed a team meeting Sunday and was made a healthy scratch for Monday's game as a result.

    Shanahan says that after consulting with general manager Dave Nonis and the coaches, the organization wants to make a bigger point by keeping Kadri out for tonight's game against Buffalo and Friday's game in Calgary.

    He adds that if things go well, Kadri will be available to play Saturday for the Leafs in Vancouver.

    Shanahan says it's time for Kadri to start making better decisions, but he did not provide further details.

    Kadri's teammates seemed caught off guard by the suspension. Captain Dion Phaneuf said he thinks Kadri has handled himself well through the situation.
