Why Willliam S. Burroughs? Are the Jets junk? I guess that quote is from the book "Junky" right?

I've been listening on line to New England sports radio, run up to superbowl.... lot of characters ( both staff and calllers), with a LOT of stories. let's say that our post game hockey callers would not be getting much time on that station.

In New England that's how everyone talks. so they say. " Everybody knows about pahking cahs in Hahvuhd Yahd, but there's a lot more to Boston English than that, despite what Hollywood would have you believe. We have our own way of pronouncing other words, our own vocabulary, even a unique grammatical construct. Journey outside the usual tourist haunts, and you just might need a guide to understand the locals... " "Also, Bostonians, like Nooyawkas, often leave out consonants in their rush to get words out, in particular, d's and t's at the end of words. So "so don't I" is more properly pronounced "So doan I," real-estate brokers babble on about houses with "plenny a chahm" and we get such phrases as onna-conna." lol... what a great place that must be to go as a tourist.

Muslim hatred comes to Canada Two men were arrested following last night's shooting at a Quebec City mosque that left six people dead and 18 wounded, in what Quebec's premier described as a "murderous act directed at a specific community."

three times a day dose of depressing news spewing out of the Whitehouse. Wonder if Trump will bring in his own security squad. and Thanks for the updates u.p. and Jacquie.

Goalie, yep Americans overthrew the leader of Iran in 1954, installed a murderous dictator, (which led to the present ayatollahs) overthrew several regimes in Iraq, overthrew the Gadaffi regime in Libya which is now in chaos, sent people to Syria to be tortured, (Canadian Maher Arar), then decided Assad had to go, five hundred thousand dead later, Assad is staying, shipping bombs to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to annihilate Yemen, the worlds poorest country. This is just a year or two before Bush invaded Iraq

I was joking, sorry, I can be a bit obtuse.

you're speaking of atomic here right? I strongly disagree.

I would like to see our o lineman learn the Himebauch maneuver. It has saved a lot of quarterback's lives.

more importantly, why bother ? That would destroy the illusion, mentioned by Rich, that they've painstakingly created.

. not sure I'd agree, but it's an interesting comparison.

I think Glenn is better than about 95 % of the quarterbacks that have played in the CFL over the last fifteen years. and I can back that up. But in all seriousness folks, 480000 yards passing is nothing to sneeze at. People would think differently about Glenn if not for the collision that wrecked our Grey Cup win. Let's hope he doesn't blow into town and beat the bombers a couple times this season, with some bombs to Carter. Re Carter, there's no shortage of people with strong personalities that have succeeded in football. Duane Thomas anybody?

To be fair, they also exposed thousands of people in Utah, Nevada, and so on to nuclear testing radiation. The "downwinders" And probably some of us here in Manitoba. Although (strangely enough) the maps showing the winds and currents, and trajectories of the radiation carried through the atmosphere from the atomic tests, stop at the Canadian US border. But yeah, you're right. I was referring to the clueless American populace, who seem to have gotten used to and accepting of a state of permanent warfare.

I have to agree with you.

Bomb the daylights of of the middle east from 1990 up to and including today, then wonder why there are refugees and people seeking revenge. America the clueless dolt country.

so why is this? are they doing what the coachs want them to do, or not? If not, is it cause they can't, or cause they just don't want to? Defence was much better two years ago. The team was less talented, but more fun to watch. Maybe the team misses Andrew Ladd, not for scoring and such, but for leadership.

big goal by little

Thats right too, if he was healthy he would be a decent way up the wish list for me. Crompton? No thanks. Nice hair though.

think several of the playoff games were also one goal games.

son of a gun......

without going into whether he's a good coach, how the hell does Maurice do press interviews almost daily, and still sound sensible, responsive to questions, and polite? it's quite impressive. His PR skills are exceptional.
