  5. Hey Boochey Woochey, i just figured at the attention to detail that they usually go for, this would be a bit of an oversight.
  6. Woohoo ... back from a couple of days in Parry Sound. Getting the shit together tomorrow and heading out on Thursday morning. Gotta make a stop in Barfalo and then straight on to Nelson Ledges. Hope to be there by 3-4pm. Hope to get a good site with enough rooom for a 10 x 10 shade canopy, the 17 x 9 tent and the minivan!! We've gotta stock up on some more glow sticks ...
  7. Guy looks fantastic. However, aren't those skates a little "modern" for him? He was my favourite player growing up, but i don't remember reading about any Lafleur Time Machines before Can't wait to see this game in action. Looks killer.
  8. It's OVER! Phew. Entertaining for sure. Way to go Canada. Kickass Jimmmy Page Whole Lotta Love. Could have dealt with way more of that than the Chinese Pop See ya in London

  10. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OLY_TAE_TAEKWONDO_DISPUTE?SITE=AP Cuban taekwondo athlete banned after kicking ref By ERIC TALMADGE Associated Press Writer BEIJING (AP) -- A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after Angel Matos kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification. Cuban coach Leudis Gonzalez offered no apology for Matos' actions during the men's over-80 kg (176 pounds) match. Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. He was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out. Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out. "He was too strict," Gonzalez said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos. Afterward, he charged the match was fixed, accusing the Kazakhs of offering him money. "This is a strong violation of the spirit of taekwondo and the Olympic Games. The sanctions are the following and are effective immediately: Lifetime ban of the coach and athlete in all championships sanctioned by the (World Taekwondo Federation) and at the same time, all records of this athlete at the Beijing Games will immediately be erased," said the announcer, reading a WTF release. In his first match, Matos defeated Italy's Leonardo Basile, then beat China's Liu Xiaobo 2-1 in the quarterfinals. But he lost to South Korean Cha Dong-min in the semis to land in the bronze-medal match. "To me it was obvious he was unable to continue," Chilmanov said. "His toe on his left foot was broken." Matos won the gold medal in this division at the 2000 Sydney Games, dedicating the victory to his mother, who died on the day of the opening ceremony. At the 2004 Athens Games, he finished 11th. Matos' tantrum followed a day of confusion on the mats. Earlier Saturday, China's double gold medalist Chen Zhong crashed out in the quarterfinals after initially being declared the winner. It was the first time a match result had been overturned since taekwondo became an official Olympic sport in 1990. © 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

  11. BUt then again, your mother in law could BE a Cougar Rowl
  12. Just picked up a massive Hillary tent at Sears today. 17 x 9. Should be good. Got it for $140 instead of $280 and then got another %10 off. Looks like it'll do the trick and has a remote light?! No, this is NOT me and my brood in the picture (my picture will have a cooler of beers, Jack playing guitar, Cassidy with her fairy wings on, and my wife with a big smile on her face http://www.sears.ca/gp/product/B0016P8IAM/sr=1-1/qid=1219438285/ref=sr_1_1/104-2026706-5119935?ie=UTF8&searsBrand=core&mqnodeid=APS Gotta start thinking of all the other shit we gotta pack for the fest. Costumes for sure
  13. If anyone ends up with 2 extras on the floor for Toronto, I have a good buddy and his wife who are looking at getting down there. They'd be truly grateful as they missed presales and are bummed. Hey, they've even got some Tina Turner tickets to barter with Thanks.
  14. Hell ya baby ... life in the big smoke
  15. I don't think I can keep that seafood cold enough to keep it fresh, but if you're up for some on Sunday night after a few days in the sun, well OK Maybe I should just bring along a few cheerleaders instead
  16. D'oh ... shit ... did i actually say that?? Damn, didn't think anyone heard. My apologies. Please don't take away my crab cakes and cheerleaders. Must breathe again ... panic attack over
  17. fuckers ... if you want to stub us up anytime we'd be happy to oblige
  18. Great price. Not sure if it's the tent for us though. I'll have to go and take a look at one; http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442850397&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396672304&bmUID=1219343298209
  19. Tough call. One could easily argue that football, soccer, baseball, hockey, etc. are all "judged" by umpires/referees. We've had a lot of debates here at work about this. The definition of "sport" is unbelievably vague. By making the definition much more focused would automatically eliminate countless events from the Games (not saying that would be a bad thing mind you )
  20. Remember, humans aren't the only athletes at the games. Horses are another and they are tested for doping too. Looks like a few have been caught and could cost Norway a medal: http://olympics.thestar.com/2008/article/482831 Fuck, how to you inject yourself when you've got hooves for hands? Why the fuck don't the HORSES get a medal when they win either???
  21. UGH. I watched that match and was totally baffled. I admit, i don't know much about the "sport" but as it was explained, Canada was obviously being ripped off. Like one of the replies on the Star's site said, why is it that the majority of China's golds are in JUDGED "sports"? I'm not saying ALL of them are undeserving, but there are some really odd outcomes (the Canadian trampolinist getting the silver is another).
