Thank you for that clarification, self-appointed board adviser Snippy. Mere picking at straws but every dog has its day, as you well know. And, if any dog deserves it, it would be BD.

 By the way, Snippy's avatard police etiquette requires applying instant alpha to avatars. Avatards are one o the best things about BJPC and you poeple insist on bespoiling this web sight.

Hockey to me is 60 minutes of kaos on ice (exactly like soccer except no ice).
Hockey is "colorful". I couldnt believe how colorful it was until the first
"Color TV's" that came out in the early 70's. Hockey on the tube is just
automatically attractive. I have a long history associated with "Canadian
Fascination" with hockey. Just observering from a distance for 45 years
without being a fan, I've gleened what hockey is all about. Too much a
"Roman Collisieum" sport really. Pretty much every player on each team
is going to "hit" a lot during the game. It's "bouncing hard" off another
player and gaining "position".

 Not quite sure what you're asking. Ken Dryden, Montreal goaltender during the dynasty years had a law degree . After retiring from the really big show he wrote books and was an outspoken and popular Liberal member of federal parliament. Dr. Randy Gregg after a stellar university career partnered with Paul Coffey at defense in the Edmonton Oiler's heyday. He runs and practices at a prominent sports medicine clinic with his name on it it Edmonton, now. One time, a few years back, the National Post ran a series on on the biggest cities in Canada with stories written by celebrities on why they love those places. I was surprised and entertained when they chose Dave "The Tiger" Williams' full page eloquently written article about Vancouver. If you know about Dave, he was a "disturber" with some goal scoring talent when he felt like it. He just loved his role of instigator, that was clear. For many years he has owned the highest standing single family dwelling there. That was a smart buy.

 Heh. Photo expressly as a Neil Young style of interruption one's thought patterns. Domi was involved in Battle of the Blades, a CBC reality talent series pairing pro skaters of the hockey and figure skating worlds competing in weekly eliminations towards winning a prize for their charity of choice. The goof in front of Domi is Rick Mercer, one of the best anti-establishment rant comedians you probably don't quite understand yet. Making fun of the absurdity of the premise. Mercer once revealed American ignorance of the world around them by interviewing people stateside, asking if they knew that our Prime Minister Jean Poutine endorsed Bush. They generally were most pleased to be informed of this, including G.W.

On a serious note, conservatives in Canada really took lessons from their american counter-parts in the political arena. Conservative think tanks, have been a great help in moving their point of view in municipal, provincial and federal politics, with bashing people with the bible directly, or espousing their full point of view. Dr. James Dobsons, Focus on the Family has been a hge mover and shaker in the back ground of this american conservative movement in Canada. For those of you who are really interested, check out The Armagedon factor by Marci McDonald. It will open your eyes evven into the rise of tea baggers or conservatives from even before Reagan.
