People want to know what makes me extra stupid. First I cant do math. Second used to like to read, like I read the whole library in high school and launched a law suit to get some god dammed new books without people fucking trees. I went to the astral plane shortly after that. I have walked the line on the six astral plane at least a dozen times. One time my mind left my body and here I am today.

Gee, opening up this new thread was a real eye opener! It reminded me of a time when a group of us would go camping each year. That year we went to Kejimkujik National Park in the south of Nova Scotia (the M would know this well). Beautiful park. Anyway, there was a golf course near the park. More of a farm that was converted, but a decent 9 holes for what we needed. We played the course on a hot, hot day. After the round, there was a young fella working at the 'clubhouse' and he said (you have to think of this in a Lunenburg County drawl, which sounds a bit like a Boston accent mixed with a Maine accent if you know those)...and anyway he said "Would y'all care for a popsicle?" What a nice gesture. Seeing the opening pic of this thread make me think "Yes, please...give me one of your popsicles. Make it 2 actually. Thank you."
There's some mumble blabber about that little cheap shit Kadri come here with his $7 large till forever contract Scuse me rubbing eyes Just the kind of stupidity bicep would do Knee jerk panic move Hugo doesn't panic or jerk the knee I think this is coming from the kypriot mouthpiece So stop this noise please We will continue as we are and lurk in the bushes while we wait to pounce Nuff said Go Habs
I always believe in unlocked potential. I think at 66 I might be better than Trump if I can just work on this honesty thing holding me back. Joey V was the only exceptional hockey player in the history of Quebec at 15. HIs name starts with a V. Marty can work with that. His name stats with an S. It reminds me so muCH of the Knights tale with Heath Leger. Joey trade in your Windows 7 for 11.
I was just struck by some mental note from my own head about the guy from St Louis we got. I think there was a prefectly good nick for him but I forgot. Anyway I saw on U tube talking heads and the called him Bull Duke. Thats a Nic Bull Duke, fuck you coke maCHine TaCHuks, I am the Bull Duke.
buhlDZOUk is the closest approximation of the québécois pronounciation (there're a couple of non-english phonemes in there), but we were calling him Bold last week.
RIP. He and Bunny Laroque were the Habs goaltending duo when Ken Dryden sat out the '73-74 season in a contract dispute, now they are a duo again in the rink in the sky. Maybe they will join the pantheon of Forum ghosts to propel the Habs back to glory.
As a kid my parents owned what you would now call a milk store. I read every comic twice. My fave was always Superman. The Batmann Dark Night Trilogy will never be bested. Lois and Clark and all the TV stuff great, I cant say I saw a superman movie I did not like. Looking forward to this one as the buzz is its super great.
Some of the web sites are counting 17 b2b. Might be tough to get back in the playoffs, adding in a tough road trip to start the season. Buttman hates Montreal.
Hard to believe he doesn't have a PGA win. I remember being shocked hearing that when he was in the playoff with Nick Taylor at the Canadian Open. One of the best finishes ever, especially with the tackle of Hadwin!
But I would've been ok with Tommy winning. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Congratulations Jaroslav Halák, on a great career and an extra huge merci beaucoup for the unbelievable thrills in that 2010 playoff run. Hey, moe, can you dig those datmys out of the archive? I recall a great parody that I think you wrote back then.
"datyms" is erratum from my usual fat-fingering on my tiny cell phone screen, or attempting to post while walking the dog. I think I meant: "can you dig those links out of the archive?"
Also, steve, I recall the days when we had a Halak/TFS controversy brewing in this burg, with STOP signs (er, ARRÊT signs, rather) refashioned as HALAK signs. And that was when I happened upon the high-quality "PRICE 31" T-shirt found at a local thrift shop, the one I wore in 2013 when Mrs. SiM and I brought our newborn daughter home.
Yes, congrats to Jaro Halak on a terrific career...even if it included a stint in Boston.
I saw a bit on his trade tree that lives on, which includes Laine and a 2nd round pick from Columbus in 2026. The author suggested it would be ironic if that pick was traded to a team willing to take Carey Price's contract off the Habs' hands.
IMHO this is second place to the Wire in th all time storytelling Olympics, an Olympics where the pool displacement was sacriced. I know many of you wairriors of a diffent age would know, For Godsake dont turn your back when you put stuff in your car. Not a video Game So Tony is like the best boss ever until you sorta leave for the next season. I will command AI to make a movie about Trump and the movies that won awards and when he gets the OSCAR we will all say, SHA DAMMMMMMM
Wow. I play two of the three instruments in this piece (three of four if you count vocals) and I'm blown away. I see this is from 2018, which just goes to show how culturally out of it parenthood can make you.
They might track me down for saying this, but Trailor Park Boys was as pure Canadian as I am. Now I have Finnish DNA and it flares up all the time. However if you want to show anyone what it means to be Canadian you may start with some CBC shit like Brett Butt. Trailor park boys get you ready for everything. Like what if you get crabs because your cathouse was taken over by prostiutes without your knowlege. School and living in other countries does not teach you this stuff. I only say that because as Bubbles would say, helmets on boys the SHITF.
There are/were two individuals in the Canadiens' organization that, if traded, I wouldn't be sad to see them go. One has moved on, I suspect the other won't be too far behind. I won't name names but it's not hard to figure out who. I always felt they did not fit into the current culture being generated by the team's leaders, Nature, CC, Lep, Powerhorse, etc. Better days are ahead.
We've been back almost three weeks now from our UK adventure and I'm finally feeling normal and played my best golf game of the year. Shot 83 from the mid tees, everything was working for me today. Great drives off the tee, kept the ball in play on every hole except two but managed to recover each time. Putting and short game all there. Today was my 20th round, 5 more and I'm playing for free. Sort of. 25 rounds of green fees with a cart equals a yearly membership fee.
@UK3X, the weather was great, London was a little too warm for our tastes being Maritimers, but the rest of the trip was very climate friendly, only a few showers here and there in Scotland, the rest of the time was very pleasant. The only place we wore light jackets was the Shetland Islands, other than that it was tee shirt weather. And yes, the people were all very friendly thanks you. I hope to return someday.
Jazz musician Chuck Mangione, a two-time Grammy winner best known for his 1970s hit Feels So Good, has lost his life at the age of 84. Chuck passed away at home in his sleep on Tuesday (July 22), a spokesperson for the star said.
Holiday warrring, expect hot weather and comments approaching Touretts. Yes I am off/on for 10 days. The world could CHange but I wont. Gonna get me a Prime Video subscription and feed the American Empire, fuck I a hate myself some times. Are we not entertianed, is that not the purpose of life, even evil soul sucking pediofile loving American life. Tip Sinners is shit, 40 acres is okay, but the Stallone series with his grandaughter is 10 times better.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3 is off to an excellent start, worth the almost 2 year wait. The (new) Gorn are fracking fantastic. The Klingons are back to normal after the Discovery fiasco. Episode 3, the newest, is so good I have to watch again immediately.
I'm freshly back from the land of no internet! Was that a HF29ism?
Mrs Pad just inherited her maternal homestead, a 150 year old Dutch Colonial that has seen better days as it's only been lived in for a few weeks each summer for the past 40 years. It's livable but needs a LOT of work. Like we need to win a lottery amount of work. So we'll just put some lipstick on the pig and make it as best as we can. It is near the end of the earth, about 20 minutes from Canso, NS which is hosting the 29th annual Stan Rogers Folk Festival. We went to the "Celebration of John Prine" concert on Thursday night. Amazing! It was his band fronted by 10 different artists (mostly local and awesome) which swapped out every song. Some incredible renditions of many of his greatest songs. My fave might have been Newfoundland's Mick Davis (formerly of The Novaks) doing 'Automobile'.
Looking forward to catching up on ST:SNW Mrs Pad and I just finished season 1 of Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner. It's a dark and gritty prison town drama. Violent. Excellent. Season 1 was filmed at Kingston and Hamilton but apparently 2 and 3 moved filming to Pittsburgh.
Stan Rogers was taken from us too soon at the tender age of 33. Hard to believe that voice was from such a young man. I didn't really know of him until well after his death, introduced to me by Mrs Pad (who may be a few years my senior...). Unsubstantiated rumours have it that he died helping others escape a smoke filled airplane. I choose to believe it.
Godamm [pepp;e wjo lmpw Know Caamda mp Viet Namm and Iraq no Mas/ Shit I am glad I am old because as a young man I was obseesed with specultive fiction and conspriacy theory. Now that I am older I feel so foolish, There are billions of dollars spent for people with a better history major than me to look at all this confusing stuff with authority. Maybe they might conclude the orange man was hovering over the ofiefic but the mushroom would not even reach the lenght of expecteded penatraikon. Never happened to me ever.
Thinkingaboot something maybe I lost the towel Biyvon Its the biggest Ponzi scheme in human historySome of you may you may be clever at Life and Biz and other stuff. It p[sses me off when the talking heads talk about history and the only grasp on history they have is the make up they applied before the talking point
Have you watched the series Highlander? If not skip the dishes. Anyway butterfly effect and all that For canadian gold members could become an American and pay less tax and buy more local security. For me I would want to find some great weapons in the dumpster and wait for the forces of evil to tell me I must leave my home because of a national security threat. I live on a ravine and ther is no way to monitor howmany CHinses Special Forces use the path
I listened to pollster - and sometimes political advisor to Carney - Bruce Anderson on The Bridge podcast (with Chantal Hébert) last Friday. It's up on Youtube. Bruce's been getting that same vibe and communicating it to the PM's team, presumably. I do think there's a big play gor time right now, but all this tariff BS is not art of Vance's agenda, just Trump's. So as bad as a JD POTUS will be once he succeeds the barely-functional current MAGA leader, I expect most tariffs will be removed, and any trade wars will be used solely where useful to him as an ideological cudgel. But the retooling for e-cars might be sliwed down a lot, regardless.
Europe just made a massive surender that will cripple our ability to negotiate. We just dont have the cards when we are the lone player. We might be able to coast on CUSMA for a couple of years. The 35% is on non cusma goods, almost everything is CUSMA. Steel and Alu remain a big problem. Fact is America believes we pay the tarrifs. Trump needs his national sales tax to give more tax cuts. It a very crooked peice of time. There is no better person than Mark Carney to find a path forward. He understands organicly the micro and macro economy. The other guy says buy bit coin. Great vids from the Nature wedding. Good siging of Struble, he can be solid 3 rd for years. I believer Wool will get first line time. How can you waste that shot with a second class center.
Engstrorm will replace Maths and I think Jackie Chan and Stroblight will platoon until we see who has the tiger blood. I really think you need at least two tough customers to win the cup.
I guess that Blogger didn't like my profanity laced diatribe regarding the EU surrender to the orange felon. I sure hope that Carney has more guts than that pathetic bunch and walk away if he has to. Pay dickface's tariffs and introduce our own. We can ride out a couple more years of his bullshit.
Any words used in contempt of the orange man or those who unexplicitly kowtow to him are noble words. Now if I was 40 years younger and could play pro hockey.
I have a tatto somewhere, okay maybe its lazer print or just ink or maybe it never happened, its not the point. Bubbles is wearing a hockey helment, not a CCM or Jofa I dont know the brad. What he says is them most important thing of this device thats all photo and emotion. My FHF freinds and even my enemies of which like Trump I actually have none. To understand me you have to know get Smart. I am Simon the likeable. So I have tried to stop all the nonsense, but no, I am not sure if I am even likeable.
If you are saying that science is wrong and vaccines come with horrilbe out comes for the living, but no death. That is why I am saying that science proves, not a dumpster dive for the hardest working performer in the perromer scope. Now you do this on ice without music. I totally believe with all my heart that the reason the Habs are on the apooge of an SR71 is intellegence. Thay are takiing the bargin bin buddies to town. Where is that dericlict mental dumpster diver I need a number two c and I am making you an offer you cannot refuse. Two D man, 2000 games in the NHL fuck man sign up.
Jack Todd: I will never, never understand why Europe and Japan knuckled under to Trump. It's sickening, even if the actual agreement is impossible to put into practice. If it's the rest of the world vs. Trump, the world wins. Easily. Freeze the sonofabitch out, don't surrender. FFS.
I suspect many of these 'deals' are pure bullshit. What does Japan export to the U.S. besides cars? Other than baseball players, very little I suspect. Toyota and Honda will raise their prices slightly and that's about it. As for Europe, you may be right about that but I think they were mostly protecting their wine industries. As for us, I am hoping and praying that tomorrow afternoon around 4pm that Dominique Leblanc and Kirsten Hillman along with the rest of their negotiating team stand up from the table and say: "You folks have a nice weekend and tell your boss to go f_ck himself. We're done here.
Its not so easy with food. may we find the streght to buy the LED to make container farming a thing. Huge problem it take so much labour. I watCHed the greatest SCi fi sererous in history. The Expanse. Second Battlestar, third
I'm boycotting US produce no problem. Bought strawberries from Nova Scotia, raspberries from Mexico and cherries from British Columbia yesterday at Costco. I know Costco is an American company but Canadians are working at the ones up here. You have to use common sense in this boycott strategy.

DeleteEurope just made a massive surender that will cripple our ability to negotiate. We just dont have the cards when we are the lone player. We might be able to coast on CUSMA for a couple of years. The 35% is on non cusma goods, almost everything is CUSMA. Steel and Alu remain a big problem. Fact is America believes we pay the tarrifs. Trump needs his national sales tax to give more tax cuts. It a very crooked peice of time. There is no better person than Mark Carney to find a path forward. He understands organicly the micro and macro economy. The other guy says buy bit coin.
DeleteGreat vids from the Nature wedding. Good siging of Struble, he can be solid 3 rd for years. I believer Wool will get first line time. How can you waste that shot with a second class center.
Congrats to Strobelight on his 2 year contract at $1.4m per.
ReplyDeleteInterested to see how the D pans out come opening night.
Strobelight, Maths, JackEyed, Hutson and Ghoul, all left-shots (Engstrom and Trudeau as well)
DeleteDobson, RoCH, Rhino are the only right-shots.
Looking like something's gotta give.
Engstrorm will replace Maths and I think Jackie Chan and Stroblight will platoon until we see who has the tiger blood. I really think you need at least two tough customers to win the cup.
DeleteThe original great Suzuki. An all time favourite player and individual.

I guess that Blogger didn't like my profanity laced diatribe regarding the EU surrender to the orange felon.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope that Carney has more guts than that pathetic bunch and walk away if he has to. Pay dickface's tariffs and introduce our own. We can ride out a couple more years of his bullshit.
Any words used in contempt of the orange man or those who unexplicitly kowtow to him are noble words.
DeleteNow if I was 40 years younger and could play pro hockey.

DeleteI have a tatto somewhere, okay maybe its lazer print or just ink or maybe it never happened, its not the point. Bubbles is wearing a hockey helment, not a CCM or Jofa I dont know the brad. What he says is them most important thing of this device thats all photo and emotion. My FHF freinds and even my enemies of which like Trump I actually have none. To understand me you have to know get Smart.
ReplyDeleteI am Simon the likeable. So I have tried to stop all the nonsense, but no, I am not sure if I am even likeable.
Do you remember when a Billion dollars was a serious sum?
ReplyDeleteIf you are saying that science is wrong and vaccines come with horrilbe out comes for the living, but no death. That is why I am saying that science proves, not a dumpster dive for the hardest working performer in the perromer scope. Now you do this on ice without music. I totally believe with all my heart that the reason the Habs are on the apooge of an SR71 is intellegence. Thay are takiing the bargin bin buddies to town. Where is that dericlict mental dumpster diver I need a number two c and I am making you an offer you cannot refuse. Two D man, 2000 games in the NHL fuck man sign up.
ReplyDeleteI just signed up for the Jack Welch Instiute to get rich without going to jail. First thing they said is I have to change my name to Simon Likable.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest thing you’ll read for a while.

Probably too many people trashing their leaf.
DeleteJack Todd:
ReplyDeleteI will never, never understand why Europe and Japan knuckled under to Trump. It's sickening, even if the actual agreement is impossible to put into practice.
If it's the rest of the world vs. Trump, the world wins. Easily. Freeze the sonofabitch out, don't surrender. FFS.
Exactly. Agree 100%. Do. Not. Surrender.
Agree 200% (to cover potential tariffs)
Delete.
JT has been in the know and correct for a long time.

I will give you two reason Japan surrendered. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Europe surrendered when Trump pointed out he decides what Troops go where.
DeleteI suspect many of these 'deals' are pure bullshit. What does Japan export to the U.S. besides cars? Other than baseball players, very little I suspect. Toyota and Honda will raise their prices slightly and that's about it.
DeleteAs for Europe, you may be right about that but I think they were mostly protecting their wine industries.
As for us, I am hoping and praying that tomorrow afternoon around 4pm that Dominique Leblanc and Kirsten Hillman along with the rest of their negotiating team stand up from the table and say: "You folks have a nice weekend and tell your boss to go f_ck himself. We're done here.
we have lived beside this monstor for centuries, Now that its shooting fire we need to find a way to breathe
DeleteThe Information Age is long gone. We are living in the Age of Utter Bullshit.
DeleteNo to Katey
ReplyDeleteFuck that fat fascist pedo and his entire cult.
ReplyDeleteThey ALL should be exiled to Mars on one of Elon's faulty rockets ... maybe it will blow up on launch. If we are lucky.
DeleteI agree with Doug Ford, time to start putting counter tariffs on US products. Not many people are buying them anyway. Time to start hitting back.
ReplyDeleteIts not so easy with food. may we find the streght to buy the LED to make container farming a thing. Huge problem it take so much labour.
DeleteI watCHed the greatest SCi fi sererous in history. The Expanse. Second Battlestar, third
I'm boycotting US produce no problem. Bought strawberries from Nova Scotia, raspberries from Mexico and cherries from British Columbia yesterday at Costco. I know Costco is an American company but Canadians are working at the ones up here. You have to use common sense in this boycott strategy.
DeleteFast Lane Rock rejected by US Olympic team. Trump approves calls him undersized demon from who plays for Candians.
