The betting windows are now closed. HEEEERE WE GO! BTW - Stephen is there, I saw him.

GO AND MAKE YOUR BET ALREADY! http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...ory/Sports/home You're welcome!

That requires a few things to happen. To tell you the truth, I'm not AT ALL sure if Bush is ready to go all the way, but I can safely say that if Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be at Rexall Place today to watch the game.... George Bush will make sure that Stephen doesn't go home disappointed. And you can take that to the bank!!! BTW - That is my best bet of the year. You're welcome!

Because there is already easily a pack of cigarette's worth of cancer causing carcinogens in the air you breathe today. By smoking a pack on top of that, you're asking for trouble. "Moderation in all things" is the saying I live by, and that's why I quit when I found out about the carcinogens in the air. Now if smokers were told the truth, that the air is much worse today than it was in their father's and grandfather's day, they wouldn't be falsely thinking that since smoking didn't get them, it must be in their genes and that it won't get them too. I wonder how many smokers and ex-smokers are devastated today because they feel that they are responsible for their friend's death? When my best friend, Teddy, died his doctor's diagnosis was that second hand smoke killed him. Knowing I was the only one smoking around Teddy, I was devastated. But after I found out the truth, that it's the air we breathe that is the major major culprit, I got myself another pooch and quit feeling guilty about Teddy.

When I ask which of the 100s of tobacco's carginogens are the cancer causing culprits the answer always is ..."we don't know". Even Jean Chretien told me that (through a newspaper). They've been feeding it to rats for 50 years plus and they still don't know? If you ask me I'd say .... The answer my friend is blowing in Toronto's air, the answer is blowing in the air .... and THAT is why they won't say. They won't say because they know that there are as many of those pesky carcinogens in the air as there are in our dear dear cigarettes. I'm still trying to find a study where they compare the lungs of urbanites versus those living in clean air. If there are any, they sure as hell are well hidden, because I haven't found one yet.

That's bullshit. Colorado and Edmonton did. In 2001 and 2006 respectively. The '42 Leafs are the only team in history to have come back from a 3-1 deficit in the cup finals.... yet. Sorry, my mistake. I looked and you're right, Colorado only came back from a 3-2 deficit. And with Edmonton I should have waited until it becomes public knowledge, I suppose.

Sorry, I just can't get into this "Stop Smoking" propaganda anymore than if the government started an "Eat Broccoli" campaign. Well, there are no anti-farting laws yet so how about if we smokers start eating lots of cabbage, onions, beans and all the other gas producing stuff. Letting it then rip in places where non smokers are basking in their smokefree enviroments, even the rabidest anti-smokers, given the choice, will let us smoke if we promise to stop farting. Or will the government enact anti-farting laws?

I understand that in parts of Alberta it's illegal to smoke outside but legal to smoke inside. People have to leave their cigarette inside when they go on the patio. I LOVE Ralph!

It's not the government that's doing it, it's the people. Like any mob, once the anti-smokers got their right to tobacco free air they want it all. They don't care that they never plan to put a foot in your bar/restaurant/club ..... they demand that you don't smoke there all the same. You know, I think that most people are Nazis at heart and that that's where the problem lies. The bigger the mob, the more insane people always get. That our provincial governments cater to them .... THAT'S what scares me.

Yours is a trick question. Apparently abortion is about to become a "human right" if Amnesty International gets their way. And don't they always? I'll go with ... the pursuit of happiness. If that's not a human right here in Canada ... it should be. Or let's just boil it down to a total annoyance. I'll bet if they banned cars because of all of the asthmatics & the ozone layer etc etc etc (ie the WAY more harm done to everyone than the fag smokers) ... a lot of non-smokers would get the point. A human right to drive? Maybe not ... but a pain in the butt to many people if it were banned. But not to non-drivers. Like non smokers they would be happy to get rid of the pollution. You do realize that there ARE non drivers? Have they no right to clean air?

Well, that's where I put my welcome back post to you, and when you deleted yours you unintentionally deleted mine with it. Oh well ... Greg is on to you now so I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to welcome you back.

Oh Rosa! Aside from where you can sit, what rights of yours are being trampled? Just sit at the damned back & be done with it. Of course it's not on the same scale as Dachau, but is it just a matter of scale? I mean ... the South Africans weren't actually burning the black folks ... so that makes it better than the Nazis?

Many a sports writer accuse him of doing that alot. Some call it "dodgy lateral movement", others "flopping around the ice like a fish." That's because soccer is the greatest sport on earth. The greatest goaltender on earth today is Czech. His name is Cech which translated into English means Czech. GO CZECHS GO!

That's what EVERY eunick says.

Oh sure Black Dog ... are you trying to tell us you're really a "Black Dog" who has been put at the back of the bus & "treated as a second class citizen"? You KNOW what it feels like? You were brought up in Alabama in the 50's ... or the Transvaal? The guy has a point. Once people were treated as garbage based on their ethinicity. Now it's being a smoker or fat or a born again Christian. Same shit. People wanting to feel superior to another group. And don't say ... they have a choice. Apparently really obese people don't have much of a choice. I'm not sure why ... but I believe them ... they can't seem to stop the behavior. Smokers too. We're just as intolerant today as the Nazis & the Boers. Do not fat people cry? When you cut a smoker does he not bleed? (Substitute black people or Jews at your leisure.)

When Dan Mazur was asked if he had any regrets, there AGAIN is a message for Mark Inglis in his reply: "You can always go back to the summit but you only have one life to live. If we had left the man to die, that would have always been on my mind ... How could you live with yourself?" If I were in Inglis' shoes I'd have blown my head off by now. PS - Is it true that Dan and Lincoln are lined up for the Larry King show? I bet you that if Dan was a black man Oprah would have them on in a Chicago minute.

Dan Mazur and Lincoln Hall will be on the Today Show together on Monday in America http://www.everestnews.com/Summitclimb2005...est06082006.htm I can't wait!

Embarassing plus! One of the sports writers had this to say about their goaltender: "Jussi Markkanen often looks like an accident waiting to happen. He flops around the ice like a fish and every time he handles the puck it's an adventure." The 'Canes in five!!!

BINGO !!!

I think it's worse for them here. If everyone in your village in Pakistan stays home on a Saturday night until they're 18 then marries their cousin ... it seems quite normal. But if everyone in your class looks like they're having a good time that your community & family won't allow you to partake in ... it could turn you ugly.

I'll eat my mountain climbing gear if Mr. B***h isn't really MLW's Geoffrey. My last name doesn't start with B so you better start eatting. Well, if you're not Andrew Brash then you're either Jangbu Sherpa, Phil Crampton or Dan Mazur. I hope. I like what Dan had to say about the rescue in People magazine (June 19 issue). He said: "I wish we hadn't found him up there. I really do. It really f----d up our whole thing. My job is putting people on the summit of Everest. Not rescuing some guy from Sydney, or whatever he is. But we didn't have a second's hesitation about stopping. How could you just walk past someone like that? If you walk past someone like that, you're going to hell, dude, you're going to hell!" That last sentence ... "IF YOU WALK PAST SOMEONE LIKE THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL, DUDE, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!" ... is a message to that legless guy, I'm sure. http://www.markinglis.co.nz/default2.asp Please tell us your last name doesn't start with I.

I'm not sure I follow. You don't ever see that in sports. Any goalie that starts as the #1 goalie at the start of the season and then loses that ranking because of a slump will, if healthy, be brimming with confidence with the rest of the team, sure that he can redeem himself. Did you ever see any player say "with me on the ice it'll be difficult to win games"? Beats me why Ty Conklin is so down on himself. Maybe it's because he's been told that he is a troll a few too many times and maybe that's what's getting him down. That's what I figure, anyway. Anyway, they lost again.

Balls to that: did you watch the game? Conklin's brain-fart aside, You call that a "brain-fart"? Facing the media today all of the Oilers said they were confident in Conklin except Conklin. He said .... "I'ts a difficult situation." Now THAT'S a brain-fart.

We all know there is more of this to come. My guess is that those broken windows were the work of some kid whose family frequents that mosque and whose father is a glazier. Knowing our government, it will readily pay five times the rate he normally charges. I wish I had a son like that.
