  1. Central Park 5 is all you need to look at. Trump is a racist and his actions and policies are racist. Can't allow those who are trying to deflect and pretend change the facts.
  2. Trump is not ruling out pardoning Manafort. Of course he's not. Trump and his campaign colluded with foreign governments to steal an election. It's all part of the plan. Setting things up for 2020.
  3. Of course he can do multiple things at once but what's he's currently doing is investing CFL resources and time into Mexico, which, as far as I know, is not a priority of the CFL. This league has real problems in key markets, labour relations, and the on field product. So far, crickets on the real issues facing the CFL... Maybe he'll add another a Spanish speaking ref?!
  4. That doesn't make any sense. If I'm a borderline player, I can go, get paid and get a better chance at the NFL by signing with the AAF.
  5. I don't see it. If you're not projected to get drafted, why would you take a chance to become an unsigned FA? Lots of NFL wannabes come to the CFL first. Why wouldn't they just stick it out, make more and get better exposure?
  6. I don't see it that way... If I'm a college player and I think I can play in the NFL but doubt I'll get drafted, why wouldn't I go to the AAF this winter? I get to play, prove myself and my contract has an NFL out clause. I make USD and get to stay at home. Can't see a reason why I wouldn't?
  7. Not long after I started at PH, they changed their cheese. It became a lot drier and, presumably, cheaper to produce. It was quite noticeable to the staff and caused a lot of burned pizzas. Cheese came frozen in a large box. It took several days to thaw out in the walk-in cooler. Quite often, at busy times, we would swap boxes of cheese with other stores if it was too frozen and they had some that were thawed. Actually, we were pretty well run, so it was other stores looking to swap with us.
  8. Miss Ping's famous ping pong ball trick. (Not to be confused with Wynona Ryder's famous ping pong ball trick 😉)
  9. The House gets to do all the dirty work now and the GOP just watched everything happen, hoping that everyone forgets that they enabled this behaviour.
  10. If you're having a stuffed crust, they spray a garlic flavoured spray on the crust. It's meant to give you the hint of garlic in the crust without going to the expense or trouble of actually putting garlic in the crust. When I worked there, they did not add anything to the pan pizza. Part of the challenge, and for anyone who has done frying, is that the dough sits in the oil and slowly heats. That causes the oil to absorb into the crust, which impairs the taste. If it were truly fried, added to hot oil, then it would just fry the outside, making it crispy. As it is, it's kind of crispy at first but mostly becomes soggy and very greasy.
  11. I worked just about every position at the Hut (with the exception of the dish pit). That goes back a while. In the past, we had a spray with would add to stuffed crust pizzas. It was a buttery flavoured*, garlic spray. They may be using that spray or others now. I can tell you, without a single exception, I never did or saw anyone do anything to a pizza for a rude customer. Not in my time. That does not mean other stores didn't but I never did or did I see anyone do it. * No butter was harmed in the making of the buttery spray.
  12. No, they're cooked in vegetable oil.
  13. So what's your approach if you're BC (or anyone) in FA... Sign (or keep) 4 or 5 anchor players, game changers, and build around them, plugging with low cost FAs and rookies? You can't afford lots of pricey players if you're signing Reilly to $600k. It will be interesting to see the timing of FA with the new CBA.
  14. The North McPhillips will replace the St James location is what I've heard.
  15. So, I ended up getting a Note 9. Got it for "free" through my corporate plan and they doubled my monthly data. It's going to cost me a bit more per month but overall, quite a reasonable rate on a new phone. It's much faster and nicer than my S7 Edge. So, far, I really like it. I'm getting used to the new size.
  16. Russia attacked Ukranian ships and shut a key strait to get to the Sea of Azov. On cue, Trump attacks NATO and the EU. All part of Putin's plan.
  17. Really, Ambrosie shouldn't be pursuing Halifax at all. He should be communicating with them but, if they want to join, they should be coming to Ambrosie. And, El Fiasco, will be a mess, guaranteed.
  18. The other owners must look at Melnyk, then True North, then Melnyk, then True North and wonder how they can have such a range in quality of owners. Melnyk has done everything he possible can to sink that franchise in Ottawa. Imagine if Balsille was an owner too? Yikes.
  19. But, what's it going to cost to get those deals? If it's free money, sure, but it won't be. The CFL will need to guarantee something hoping to lure someone. It just doesn't make sense from the Mexican point-of-view to invest in the CFL right now. --------------------- I still wonder if we're getting the best deal having TSN as the exclusive rights holder. Other broadcasters just ignore the CFL. Sure it's been good for TSN but for who else?
  20. JSK in the middle is an improvement over Hurl. And, there must be other LBs we can scoop, right? EDIT: I still believe Hall retires. But that's just a feeling.
  21. The X does 4K graphics the best out of all the non-PC systems. Games like RDR2 are simply nicer on the X. But, you need to have the TV and you need to care. S is much cheaper and will play all the games the X will.
  22. I'm saying that's exactly why they were pushing it- the market demanded it and they reacted to the market demand. As for Moana, I'll tell you, when you go down south, there is more Moana, more Princess Tiana and more Princess Elena. They push it more in areas where they believe it better reflects the population. Unfortunately, they miss the boat when they realize that kids care far less about the colour of their skin and more about their attitude.
  23. I had my B-Days in the caboose. It was right at Plaza Drive. At least a couple. That's also where my dentist was (and was still there not long ago). Same place as the South Winnipeg Dinner Club (no idea what the name was) where they held a lot of weddings. Across the street was Starwberries, right?
  24. Yup... time to find a home for his fam here in town. Who set Milt up? Get them on board for Biggie and the fam.
