Gary - shaddup!

I think Gary channels his feminine side when it comes to arguments. We all know you can't win one with a lady.

No I'd have to disagree to a point. I never win an argument with my wife, and there might have been 1 or 2 with Gary..........at least I think there might have been, but my memory isn't that good anymore.

Interestingly enough. Gary had just started an 18 hour Sous Vide roast.

Looks more like Biochemistry than cooking!

@ smoke665: Gary doesn't know about spirited debates. They seemed pretty much and overwhelmingly one sided.

Yea, Gary debates, I drink the spirits!

When old school meets new school. Don't normally post this kind of thing, and the lady is an Italian Grandmother, but the way she handles Google device reminds me so much of what would have been my Grandmother only with a heavy German accent.

The cold sounds even worse in Canadian (I mean, Celsius). Been reading some Canadian media (The Star, CBC) about the outdoor World Jr. game starting shortly and they kept giving single digit temps. I doubt it will bother players from Canada and Europe who play pond hockey when they're kids. The fans sitting still will be the ones freezing.

I've been in some cold hockey rinks, but still... I think I need some hot chocolate before the game starts just thinking about it.

Glad smokes is doing better or sounds better anyway. I watched a movie called the Matrix today while waiting on oldest son to come over. I really liked it. I've seen that main guy in other movies that my wife made me watch but he was a bad *SS in this one. He was a candy salesman that gave a wine country girl a candy wrapper for a ring, made me throw up a little in my mouth.....

On second thought, some Kahlua in some coffee would be nice, if I had any. The players look rather padded under those uniforms. Some of the fans look so bundled they resemble the Michelin man.

John (or any other Canadians handy) - is it proud and free or strong and free? I seem to have maybe learned/remembered it wrong from college days. They used to always play both at games but don't much anymore. At least our college did, no matter if we rarely played a Canadian team, both flags were up and we sang both. As it should be.

Maybe I'd get the words right if I'd stop thinking about what alcoholic beverage I could have if I had any in the house.

After shave works in a pinch. We used to drink aqua velva in the Marines.

"Strong and free", although there are some corruptions which are [unfortunately] coming into use seeking to replace the "sons" in "all thy sons command"with something gender-neutral and also removing the reference to "God", so it's not at all unlikely that you've heard "proud and free", 'though it is incorrect.

 

[vintagesnaps]

That could be. The most I hear it anymore is on HNIC, games don't play it like they used to.

The mid-game stop and shovel snow is over... they had quite a bit in those wheelbarrows!

The player benches are heated/warmed but not the penalty boxes - that ought to help keep 'em outta there and keep the game moving.

Meh. I understand a lot of our revision, but there are times where I think it's not worth it. I'm laughing to myself over here trying to imagine the British anthem without the word God, haha. (And that's as an atheist, btw.)

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Sure, Dave. But many religious holidays have created cultural traditions that have nothing to do with the religion behind them. (My ethnically Jewish but atheist friend makes the best matzo ball soup you'll ever have.)

I'm not offended by the way people choose to observe their religious OR cultural holidays. Live free, haha.

Feeling much better, didn't realize how much it was really affecting my breathing until today.
