bluto

was funny in their gameday thread watching them unanimously pronounce every single flag against them as bullcrap. they all thought that Chick's RTP was a fair hit...

horsebleep. no running back i've ever seen (other than Barry Sanders) does it by himself.

21-39 spin it whatever way... it still stinks.

so... i just got home from my seminar... anything interesting happen today?

he and Harris are both FAs. this may have been by design to make Ottawa think twice about drafting them since they could just sign somewhere else in Feb.

is Dunnigan auditioning for a coaching spot?

Argo fans have had to deal with it. Bomber fans are in it right now. Hamilton is in a perpetual state of it... ...and now we'll finally see what happens to Alouette fans when it rains **** on them

fine... i'll wait till 9:30 then... i'm usually on coffee #2 by then anyway.

incompletion! fire Milanovich!

jumping on my hotel bed yelling "RUN!" i expect a call from the front desk soon

119 yards and no flags!

so... we play these guys 3 times in the next 5 weeks...?

hope they keep giving Devine the rock

nice start to the game

that show spanned quite a few eras.

look up a few posts

sounds like someone is jealous of not getting leaked-to.

i think the Als will play out of their skins trying to impress Popp... just like they played like warmed over garbage to try and get rid of Busey.

spoken just like my R.E.A. (a cool guy who now sits in my section at games.) he's never gotten me less than 98.9% on my listings or had me pay more than 94.5% of one.

First of all, congrats on doing that program and increasing your potential earnings and expanding your own marketability. Good on ya. Toronto would be a big culture shock for a young man from Winnipeg (more on this in a bit). Especially if you're planning on living in a central area. The downtown core of Toronto proper is a very mixed bag of what you can manage to afford (ie: apartment types will range from sub'ing someone's condo, to 100 year old 3 story brick houses that have been converted to appartments, to the basic highrise appartment complexes). If you're anywhere down there you'll easily be able to get where you need to go by getting a TTC Metropass every month. If you plan on living outside of the core, keep your car. i repeat: keep your car. Like what Terry said about Vancouver, Toronto is made up of many self contained areas where people live and work and each has it's own identity. The fact that TO is also the most poly-ethnic city on earth adds to that bigtime. a few good things you likely already know: - jobwise, there will be 100 companies of the type that you apply to. if you're good at networking, you'll be able to advance and get ahead by keeping your ear to the ground and finding the next great opportunity at company X. - from a culture standpoint, we have everything. really. aside from mountains and an ocean, you really can't list anything that anyone would want to see or do that Toronto doesn't have at least one grandiose version of it. - restaurant and club wise, we have a selection that is of the highest calibre in the world. and the ones that are hidden-gems in the various neighborhoods are often better than the fancy ones in TorontoLife magazine. a few drawbacks that you may not: - a-type personality as a lifestyle: the regular pace of business here is go-go-go, either make food or be food... but to us it's normal. i only know that we are seen this way by others in the rest of the country after years of having dealt with people from most provinces. if you don't do well with pedal-to-the-metal, you may find that Vancouver is more your bag. - traffic. yeah, i know that everywhere has rush hour. but ours is a special circle of Dante's Hell all of its own. so do try to live near work if you can. - even if you don't think that you're a good match culturewise with Van or Calg (Hippie or Cowboy), trust me on this, you may not be anywhere near a match for too-cool-for-school TO. this is a youth culture(by that i mean under 35) that prides itself on being impressed by nothing except how cool they themselves are. we have the coldest women in the western world. this is not hyperbole, go to any forum where men talk about dating/game strategy and you'll see that Toronto is routinely singled out as the most difficult place in the western world to pick up. if you think that you're great at approaching people socially, okay, maybe this won't be an issue... but the vast majority of westerners i've met who come here are left reeling by the perceived frigidness (and sometimes hostility)of folks here. i don't want to go on about this but i'm willing to discuss this more via PM as one of the businesses i used to own was directly in this field. and about Terry's comments, he's right that Winnipeggers are closer to Calgarians in style than Vancouverites... but he misses the point a bit (in a harmless, funny way) when he says that the hippies don't live in Vancouver anymore... it's true that proper hippies aren't really the people who populate modern Vancouver... but... when we in Toronto have to do business with Vancouver, we dread talking to the laid-back-wavy-gravy types (by comparison to a Torontonian) that have no respect for deadlines or fixed appointments... mind you... they likely put down the phone with me and tell the guy next to them that the a-hole in Toronto needs to lighten-up man... i don't know what else to say in terms of generalities... ask me anything you like about various parts of town or if i know of certain companies (i do a lot of Biz to Biz work, so i may know some ppl). happy to help and good luck.

best summation of the situation i've read. it's an offence that seemingly has no core philosophy or tenets. no identity.

said it in the chat last night and you list 4 more good examples of the Peter Principle in real life. people will rise to their own level of incompetence.

at the time it looked to me like he half-engaged him with his left hand then turned away without even slowing him down.
