A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

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.

I really don't care about brands either.

Right now I have Graf's.

I have a pair of CCM Crazy Lights on hold waiting till the new Supreme line came in because there was little to nothing in my size for the 2011 models. I tried the TotalOne's on and really liked the fit but I really can't afford $800 on skates.

The Crazy Lights are $399 and they fit decently.

The Bauer Vapor's are far too wide for my heel.

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

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

One80's it was. Man they are really stiff compared to my Graf's. Haven't had a chance to play in them yet because our team was in the finals and didn't really want to break in new skates then.

But we won Div. 3!! One game playoff against the Div. 4 champs and the winner of that goes to Provincials in Kelowna .... no I didn't realize they had Provincials for beer league hockey either!!

Gotta hit some drop-in hockey to break in the new blades.

I was looking at friends of friends on facebook. I found a guy, Brian from high school that I never hung around with but I know the name. I checked out his account to see if he ended up with a mutt for a wife (meh, she's not bad…no hottie, but not a mutt, doable after six beer which isn’t very many). Anyhow I see a picture folder named glory days. This ASSHOLE has pictures from when he was playing on the high school football team. Game pictures... I guess he was the QB!!!

That's what some people consider the glory days?

Like I said, ASSHOLE! :scowl:

I was eating mushrooms...

Some people just can't get past high school... when they thought they were a somebody.

Speaking of mushrooms, my kid was sick as a dog a while ago. Couldn't keep a fuckin thing down! I was begging him to drink Pedialyte. No way no how! Apparently he'd rather die than drink something that he doesn't like to taste of. I was frustrated and said "remember this day 15 years from now when you're choking down a fist full of mushrooms". He didn't get it... But seriously, were schrooms not the nastiest shit you ever ingested in order to get fucked up?
BTW, NOT A FLAME ... JUST AN OBSERVATION ... :P

In our highschool yearbook I wrote the same thing to every single girl:

To my one and only, I'll never forget you,

Love, Strangelove.


Yeah, so obviously I'm not the Facebook type.

As a matter of fact I am completely boycotting Facebook.

And from the stories I hear, I'm doing the right thing! :thumbs:

Yes, shrooms were NAS TY!

Not so bad with Tequila.

We got high-grade LSD for cheap though, so we only tried shrooms maybe twice.

Buddy was an honour-roll chemistry major at UBC, made up our LSD right there in the lab.

Last I heard he was in the slammer.

Hmmm maybe I should sign up at Facebook and look him up? :wink:

So are you saying you did more drugs than most? Is this cerebral expansion the cause of your insatiable appetite for the abstract?

Let's put it this way, I probably did less drugs than most from my neighborhood.

And I did 98% of said drugs over a 2-year period.

I think of it as a phase.

And no, I ALWAYS had an "insatiable appetite for the abstract".

I feel my drug phase was mind-expanding, a good thing IN MY CASE.

But I also feel these types of drugs have a negative impact ON MOST.

What about you Ratski? :mex:

I was pretty much a druggy.
In the 70's mda was the love drug and I loved it.
LSD was also done frequently.100 trips at least.one time I did 11 double hits of orange barrel it was the only time I ever was not in control, I remember friends driving me somewhere and I was rambling on about trying to listen to what o was saying ..and then tell me cuz I could understand myself.

We lived in mushroom country and one fall we picked about 2lbs, dried them ate them.100-150 trips at least.

One of our favorite all nigjt talks involved the infinite galaxy...
Another was what would win a wolf or a cougar.

Coke is what fucked me up though that was about 12 yrs of total waste ...

All said and done pot was the only thong o did every day and was jatd to stop..20 yrs of that...

Now I play baseball...lucky fick If you ask me...by the way..Thnx for asking
Of course a peyote trip or 2...

Don't think it's that high. I am 42 .....Clam is around 41 or 42..... EPC is real close to that age. The dude is about 45. Leves is 45- 46. Coco and Aaron are in their 30's i think. Pot is is his mid - late 30's.......Topper is likely 60. Who the hell knows with Doc ? Spidey is high 40's. There are youngsters like Blaster that drag the age down.

Fred is an old coot too.

I'm 36 so 40-42 seems about right.

On this sports forum, you either grow up fast or you face the wrath of Pots.
