The Sultan of Swank

Okie doke. Just give me a ring on the PM and I'm set for anyone... ... To cover my own ass. No I'm not actually the mack daddy of anything besides Hammy's wife.

Alright, if you head to Bestoldgames.com there is a legal download of Civilization 2 Gold Edition. What this means is that it can play online. Now, since I am the mack daddy of Civilization, I'd like to kick it oldschool against anyone who loves the Civ series and wants to have a go online, it can be multiplayer up to 7 people, so if interested, please do say. In actuality I'm mediocre at Civ 2, but I'd love to play someone online.

Should I do the yahoo fantasy league or is everyone down for what CKN suggested? And if it's CKN we want, is there a site that provides it or what? Also, I just scored Habs/Leafs tix.

ah.

a wha?

Toronto can't seem to put together any offense recently. Oh well, it's not like they were only 5 games back of the wild card last week.

Clawson... why the Ottawa hate? I know CKN is pretty much AWOL but why. At least when it's Montreal and Toronto we both suck, but Ottawa raped the two of us. No dice. I'm keeping an eye on the fantasy league for next season. Registration is in late August so it'll have to be soon. When it opens if no one objects I'll make the league and start the new Hockey thread. Also, anyone want to make it interesting? A 5 dollar (Canadian) wager? Say everyone puts in 5 bucks to a paypal account (we'll get an admin to hold the money so no one freaks out) winner at the end of the season takes the pot?

I would rather have the gay fashion sense and thus all the sexy sexy ladies, than have the big ego and a slow creeping muslim takeover happening in my provence(the sharia law debacle a few years ago, talks of regulating fast food to having to be halal (Popeys already is), the giant fucking Hezbollah billboaord). In any case, I have to admit that Canada's Wonderland is the shit!!! I love it, it's the only reason I ever step foot in Toronto. I think Montreal should get a Winter Games, we have the facilities don't we?

I don't know Toronto geography too well but are there any World Class mountains around Toronto? also I think the IOC would realize that if Toronto won an olympic bid the collective ego of the city would literally sink it some 10,000 feet.

Then again, look at the amount of injuries he's had, it's not suprising that he's fallen off the horse.

Hold that thought. I like to think it was to exclude Toronto (I know it wasn't), for once someone outside the big smoke decided to let them know that they wern't the center of the universe.

Clearly the greatest movie ever fashioned by man. It was fucking hilarious. Good god almighty it was fucking hilarious. The back scratching part, the cock story, everything. George Michael was basically a more ramped up GM which was ridiculously funny. Fastest kid in the world.

Toronto could use a new jersey. They stole the blue Maple Leaf from us between 1910-1912 Montreal had both a Blue Maple Leaf and a Maple leaf as their logo. It took till something like 1926 for those usurpers in Toronto to take it. Intersting fact about Toronto and possibly the only reason I love Toronto. The NHL was formed to exclude an owner who happened to own a Toronto Franchise. So in my head I can say that the NHL was formed to exclude Toronto... at least at first.

I dunno... I know they get cable and a steak dinner once a week.

I hope he goes to a Quebec prison...

If he's serving 6 months in the off-season and the Leafs somehow make it to say mid may would that mean that he misses the first month or so of the next season?

Serves him right.

Tonight they made me want to commit suicide TWICE. This team is not making the playoffs.

I hate the Yankees.

League registration doesn't start till late August.

Yahoo makes a fine fantasy league. And if we wanted to make it interesting, I'd be happy to collect say 5 bucks each from the participants, winner at the end of the season wins the pot. I believe yahoo has it so that you also get points for penalty minutes, faceoffs, etc.

I would say that on both lists Koufax should be higher up. He had a short career, but look how dominating he was.

Well then the argument could also be made that had Babe played in the modern era where the fields are up to 150' smaller in dimensions then he would have hit far more home runs. There's a book called the year Babe hit 102 home runs, read it. It's a very interesting read. Now, I respect Bonds and the Record, I don't like the steroid allegations and I think they're true, but you've gotta have power to hit the longball, they just extended his ability to as far as I'm concerned... What irks me though... greatest record in pro sports or greatest baseball record. Saying either one of those lines as so many people already have on the TV screen is a slap in the face to both American Sports and Baseball. Yes, chicks dig the long ball, and it's certainly the most exciting record in pro-sports, I mean c'mon someone just splattered the ball 400 feet, that's exciting. But don't insult the game by saying its the greatest individual record. What about the all time wins record, that is an untouchable record, 511 wins, that's unthinkable. And yes Young played in the pre-modern era of baseball, but Walter Johnson played his career in the 20th century and he still hit 417. Yes the rotation has grown from 3 to 5 and there is a larger emphasis on relief pitching, but that is still a far greater record. What about strikeouts, that's probably the most obtainable pitching record and you'd still have to throw 5,800 k's. To put it into perspective, if you were to pitch 35 games a year, and pitch 7 innings a game for a 20 year career with no injuries, you still have to throw more than 1 strikeout per inning. That's a test of longevity and dominance as a player. A greatest individual record in sports shouldn't be something so easily threatened. It's already accepted that A-Rod will in all likelyhood break the record. Look at Gretzky's 800-someodd goals, that's untouchable right now. That's a competitor for greatest individual record.
