  1. The classic 1989- 5 speed Yamaha V6- very long legs on that car- the faster it went, the quieter and smoother it was. Could not outrun rust, though. Great seats for long distance driving, but you sure had to watch your speed.
  2. Same old stories- lying Tories. One rule for everyone else, one rule for themselves.
  3. Duplicate post-sorry.
  4. And they are probably not done with the gallows march.
  5. Its only a 6 1/2 hour drive from Cowgary to Gopherville, soooo.....
  6. With a final score of 5-3
  7. Where would your hands have to be?
  8. Weighing the same as a small cow.
  9. The PC playbook calls for the cutting of taxes so as to run a deficit. The next step is to reduce government services because they cannot be afforded any longer while preaching the gospel that private enterprises can do it better, cheaper and faster. Smaller government agencies can be privatized first to provide temporary funding for necessary services, as MTS was, then the rest can be whittled away. It is much easier to tear down than build.
  10. With Brown behind center, we were hardly dominant- lotsa two and outs.
  11. Agree, mostly, but that one missed FG was the difference between a win and a loss.
  12. Watched the game on PVR this morning and a few things were evident: If Collaros goes down, we are boned. Meier was better than Mitchell, who was barely better than Brown. Neither Brown nor McGuire are going to be the Next Big Thing in quarterbacking but both deserve another shot, just not this year. Calgary has some very good receivers, but their O-line is poop. Bomber O-line is awesome. Augustine had a GREAT outing, but his O-line opened holes I could have gotten good yardage through, bum leg and all. As usual, the zebras had a rough night. I felt for the Bomber D-line- time to put Vaseline on their Jerseys? It was a frustrating game to watch, If the Bombers had a half-decent backup QB, the game would have been out of reach by halftime. Except for that one Calgary pass, the Bomber defence was its usual stout self. They deserved better.
  13. Cooper failed in every aspect of the game and it is beyond me why he wasn't sent home unless he's been paid ahead for the rest of the month and they want to get their money's worth.
  14. He is 18 years old and may have been so scared that he will not think of doing this again, but the real danger is all the wannabes that will follow his example after being urged on the right-wing nutsos. Thus begins a new chapter of the horror that America has become. Already Madison Cawthorne has said to these budding Nazis- "Be armed and be dangerous". If that is not a call to violence, I do not know what is.
  15. Only in America, you say? Kyle Rittenhouse verdict: Just what the right needs to create a thousand more like him. The authoritarian right had largely failed to create a violent hero to rally around — until the Kenosha shooter The only good thing that can be said about Friday's "not guilty" verdict in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, the Kenosha shooter, is that the Trumpists are getting the icon they deserve. Forget that ever-present right-wing fantasy of a muscular Aryan übermensch in a MAGA hat punching skinny black-clad leftist protesters, Rittenhouse is a more accurate avatar for the dweebs and dirtbags that make up the Trumpian right. No matter how many wannabe edgelord memes were made to celebrate Rittenhouse, there was no changing that he's just a doughy loser with a creepy and overbearing mom. His AR-15, meanwhile, made him look all the more pathetic, just by virtue of how badly he hoped it makes him look tough. Unfortunately, as Rittenhouse's killing of two men and the maiming of another in the summer of 2020 proves, losers can still do a whole lot of damage, especially in a country with so much easy access to deadly weapons. That's why the U.S. has an ongoing school shooter problem, as self-pitying and entitled young men compete with each other to rack up body counts. Unfortunately, by successfully pleading self-defense in the killings of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, Rittenhouse has opened the door to an entirely new form of anti-social behavior for other crappy young men to emulate: political violence.

  16. If a team is carrying a player on the basis of his past, patience will go only so far,
  17. I'm betting on Calgary.
  18. And America continues its freefall into madness.
  19. People 'will continue to suffer': Former Tennessee vaccine director flees home amid COVID-related threats -November 19, 2021 The former vaccine director for the state of Tennessee has been forced to flee her home amid threats of violence related to COVID-19. In a new interview with BBC News, Dr. Michelle Fiscus was featured with her husband as they prepared to move out of their home. As they packed up their belongings, they recalled the harrowing threats and taunts they've faced as a result of Fiscus' stance on mask mandates, mitigation measures, the COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution. The former Tennessee public health official noted how the state's deep political divide has worsened over the course of the pandemic. According to Fiscus, the pushback and politicization have actually progressed since the vaccine has become more readily available. Disturbing COVID-related conspiracy theories have also contributed to the vitriol medical professionals like Fiscus face.

  20. Gotta get rid of those bad humours somehow. Leeches are hard to come by and bleeding is messy in retail establishments.
  21. Still have some contacts in Dept of Health and a grandson who is 6, so I have a vested interest.
  22. Nothing new- they were around 50 years ago but outlawed due to perceived safety concerns.
  23. The child vaccine is already here in Winnipeg awaiting distribution.
