I thought the tagline was "Our balls are bigger". Still my favorite.

Didn't Tim Burke have a streak like that going too for awhile?

great game - that's Jets hockey. Just pounded Minnesota right into the ground. Loved the Ehlers goal to seal it too. Both Buff and Ehlers got the monkey off their back, now let's hope they keep up that level of effort going forward.

I'll be wearing my 1990 Grey Cup Champions T-shirt with pride this weekend.

But can they do a 4G inverted dive?

I wish I could claim credit but I stole it from this guy: Go to the 4 minute mark.

I'd side with Russia before turkey. Russia should take over Turkey and rename it Chicken.

Turkey is going to burn along with ISIS. I just hope that all of those precious archeological sites in Turkey don't get destroyed.

I haven't been this excited for a Cup match-up since 1981. (kidding of course). Still remember the 1981 Grey Cup. The Eskimos were supposed to destroy the Ottawa Rough-riders but JC Watts had other ideas. Edmonton did prevail in the end, but clearly the Eskimos had walked in to the park thinking they had already won, and spotted Ottawa three TD's before Warren Moon went to work. That being said, I believe that the Eskimos are going to slaughter bad Hank and the gang on Sunday. Hank just can't play in cold weather. If this game was in a dome, it would have been a lot closer.

So not sure if this is the thread for it, but the government has admitted that Dec 31st is too quick of a deadline for the refugees, and have extended the deadline. http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-152541-4-.htm#152541

You eat humans?

When I am consuming a large pile of bacon, I remember that this pig I am eating wouldn't have existed in the first place if it wasn't created in a pig barn by artificially inseminating a sow solely for purposes of producing a litter to be raised for sale to the market. If you ever went into a pig pen you would see how you have to fight off the pigs, who will immediately attempt to bite you, and would eat you if you didn't fight back. I spent enough time in pig barns having to fight off pigs trying to bite me to feel no remorse tucking into a pile of pork chops. My niece is a huge vegan who loves to tell us all at family gatherings what evil people we are for eating ham and turkey. Last Christmas she told me as I was cutting a slab of ham that "that pig had a family you know", to which I replied "and whose mother would have gladly eaten him if she hadn't been forced to nurse him behind a metal restraining bar". She didn't know what to say to that.

LOL - no problem. The one that my guide had in the car was even more disgusting than that. It had feathers and everything, just disgusting, and smelled like ass. I don't know how he could eat something like that and not get horribly sick.

Nope, not me. Grew up on a farm. Have no problem eating meat whatsoever.

Thanks but no thanks, there are too many annoying peasants around here....

Or a not quite as witty Howie Mandel.

Don't you guys watch Survivor? In the gross-out food-eating competitions (which apparently are now considered "cultural appropriation") they have on Survivor usually one of the grossest things people have to eat is "Balut", which is a duck egg that has been fertilized, so there is an actual almost ready to hatch duck in the egg, with feathers and beak and everything. I honestly didn't know that people actually ate that stuff until my tour guide in the Philippines bought one and ate it while we were driving to the rice terraces (and it smelled awful in the car). He also ordered us some "authentic" Philippine food on the trip which all just seemed to be different animal intestines fried or steamed, and pretty gross. It was obvious he was just doing it to gross us out and get a laugh at the looks on our faces when we would try something. I told him after the second stop to cut it out, and just order stuff that was edible for Western palates. That may have been inappropriate, but we were starting to get pissed off.

Sure, attack the source (we see that a lot here), and yes, I admit it was an attack piece to some extent, and I also admitted that there is some real cultural insensitivity out there like dressing up in black face etc. that needs to be frowned upon in our society, but what got me worked up wasn't the lunatic lady with the food issues, it was the yoga story (I notice you didn't mention that one). That is a ridiculous use of the term "cultural appropriation" to ban yoga from a school campus, but no surprise that it is being banned at one of our uber-hip and uber-PC universities, and of course, at the extreme PC University of Ottawa, one of the worst campuses in Canada for jumping on whatever stupid politically correct trend is fashionable. Here's part of the yoga story: The verbal diarrhea coming out of that student federation president's mouth sounds extremely Orwellian, in that it makes no sense whatsoever. "Yoga-like spaces" - ??? Just ridiculous.

When you label almost everything "racist" then the word itself loses all meaning. Kind of like pointing at almost everything and labeling it a "human right".

From what I can find on this subject, this whole "cultural appropriation" movement started with the concept that it was insulting for people who weren't black to wear blackface or people who weren't First Nations to dress up on Halloween as Native Americans. I honestly get that, and agree with the concept that this can be very disrespectful and just plain wrong, just like dressing up like a Nazi to go to a Bar Mitzvah probably isn't a great idea either. But as with everything in the Social Justice movement, what started as a good idea has been corrupted and usurped and made into a total industry of its own. What a surprise. I define social justice as "The stubborn application of unworkable solutions to imaginary problems" and "cultural appropriation" as an issue seems to fit that definition completely. This particular abomination seems extremely Orwellian in nature too.

That's the second time today I've read/heard the term "cultural appropriation". I'd never heard of it until now. This is really getting out of hand. Time to turn back the tide of insanity.

Shopping trip to the beer store? **** yes! Bring some of that Arrogant Bastard if it hit the shelves yet. You could ask Chris Jones to bring you some but that might seem redundant.

Done and done. And I mean done!
