CC Random thread

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.

If you're angry about big companies making outsized profits, then why don't you buy some stock in these companies so you can get a share of the profits too?
You play the DJIA, S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, Russell 2,000 Index, NYSE Composite?

Chilcotin River blocked south of Hanceville by a landslide last night following a storm that brought 3cm of rain. Photos of the area show a traditional debris fan that moved in an area that that has seen forest fire activity in the recent years. The area was also decimated by pine beetle kill.

A natural processes, endemic pine beetle kill followed by fire then landslide. A friend of mine used to do forest and range work in that area for the Provincial government. He's told me of native elders describing the region as a grassland when they were young. The cycle continues

This is similar to the slide that blocked the Fraser in 2019 at Big Bar and has been the scene of massive rehab work ever since.

Chilcotin is a very important salmon river and pretty much controlled by the aboriginals. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ wil flow.

BTW, head west out of Williams Lake and then south just across the Chilcotin at Farwell Canyon. A very cool and little known area of BC.

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

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

Gang ranch, Farwell canyon area is an old favorite of mine for getting away from people. Still wild but if the masses start finding it it'll be lost

The natives are very restless out that way and not afraid to take up arms. Still the wild wild west.

I haven't been there in around 4 years, but the new owners of the Gang Ranch (middle East $) have been putting money back into the place and it is starting to look good again.

I worked on a project just south of Farwell and another just south of Churn Creek. Always wanted to drive through Mud Lakes to Lilloet.

It's my retirement funds so I wouldn't call it "playing", but no, I don't invest in indices. It's probably a good idea for most investors though, as long as you dollar cost average in.

Are you shorting stocks right now? Apparently the end is coming.

If the end is coming may as well just liquidate and go to Peru.

Never shorted a stock in my life. Dude, I imagine you are buying and selling all the time in response to the latest trends. And now, the end? What's this about?

I don’t know, 5th, but what I do know is - you’ll never have to vote again my beautiful Christians.

This used to be an interesting thread full of actual "RANDOM" fun stuff.

We've got other places for mindless political images / memes. Don't make me start deleting shit.
