Another one bites the dust

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

It's a time of reflection.
Like Doc's orange hero? And his 'reflective' comments?

Quite the opposite of Doc and his support for the Orange Man Cornuck.

I wasn't a fan of Powell and his wmd claims, much less the devastation that followed. It's been twenty years of unrelenting war after all.

I was just piggybacking off Per's earlier comments.

WMDs wasn't Powell's first rodeo.

Has anyone read his book about his time in Vietnam? Capt. Powell literally described how he was committing war crimes before Iraq.

The Tonkin incident was WMDs before WMDs and incubator babies.

No I don't know much about Powell pre uranium yellow cake in baby incubators vintage.

Interesting.

Yeah, the Don bashed Powell just as badly as he bashed McCain.
Guess he just has a severe hatred for all decorated army veterans.
Might have something to do with his "bone spurs"...

This is kinda crazy news, Alec Baldwin on the set of the movie Rust, while holding a prop gun had it misfire towards DP Halyna Hutchins.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that director of photography Halyna Hutchins was the crewmember killed on the New Mexico set of Rust, where star Alec Baldwin was holding a prop gun that misfired, striking Hutchins and director Joel Souza. Production has been halted “for an undetermined period of time.”

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I used to watch Bosom Buddies. I actually thought Scolari would have the better career after it got cancelled.
