  1. I'll take Montreal over Saskatchewan
  2. Had internet connection problems just found a way to work it out right now.
  3. According to her site, she made some tv appearances, no wonder i don't watch much of the tube nowadays, especially with the rule preventing any wardrobe malfunction http://www.hotforwords.com/
  4. Reason number 64578 for remembering that you should always be a good sport.
  5. Gotta say i'm in a good and magnanimous mood after seeing our CFL team win the Grey Team in one of the wildest fashion you could ever imagine. For those who don't read G A Russell's CFL thread after trailing troughout the game our team made a come back and had a chance to win with a field goal with no time remaining. the field goal was kicked wide , unfortunately for our opponents a flag was thrown because the defensive team fput too many men on the field, the kick was replayed and the rest is history...
  6. Aggie made his picks either on the CBS site or on our board well prior to the games started, that's all that matters, the idea of the game is to incite more people to play, so they are enough bad players that will finish below me.
  7. Made a few comments in the contest thread, all i can add here is there is something ironic in the fact that the Rough Riders sell t-shirts caled the 13th man. Think they will do something different next year.
  8. What a wild ending. For Montreal fans it will be shades of the 79 semi-final in the NHL when the Habs won it because the Bruins had a penality for too many men on the ice which led to a power play that allowed Montreal to tie the game and send it to overtime and win it. I do feel bad for the Saskatchewan team and their fans, but it is a bit bush league to lose in such fashion. This blunder goes with Chris Webber calling a time out when he did not have one during the NCAA final. Not much of a CFL fan but as disastrous 2009 was for Montreal, it is great to see those "little sports team" like the Als and the Impact winning championships and bringing some relief to the city. Guess there is hope for the team that the whole city revolves around.
  9. At least your first reply won't be a ECM bashing session Regaring Mojo, i've stopped reading the mag a few years ago, because how many times can you read a story about the usual suspects (Beatles, Who, Led Zep etc.) after a while it grew tiresome, it may disorient some "grey hairs" but it might be a good thing that they cover more contemporary bands. Then again, i would have to check it out to know who they're talking about and i barely have the time. Regarding the top ten, they are 3 titles that would fit in mine Jarrett, Wheeler and the Holland. I do enjoy Brahem although including it in a top ten seems a stretch at least for my own taste. Considering the crowd that the readership of Mojo is mostly composed suprised not seeing a Metheny make his way in the list or the Garbarek with the Hilliard ensemble make his way, no Rypdal either. Don't have the time to do one but if i did it would probably include a Trovesi, Sylvie Couvoisierr's Abaton and some Sclavis, but as you said it tells how much the label has widened his horizons than the ECM bashers have given them credit for
  10. If You Build It, They Will Come
  11. The music was fun to listen to but if you truly thought it was real well....
  12. Cool !
  13. Can you do anything for a poor Canuck ?
  14. In the UK, they tend to go to the side of caution, as soon as the guy is unable to defend himself they do stop the fight, anyway i want a rematch. Absolutely no relation with my previous offering. Warning, may not be safe for work.
  15. Crazy must see boxing fight, better than Pacquiao-Cotto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkwUQd6fngo
  16. Great win for Les Bleus , we were very good especially in the second half, if Gourcuff and Gignac would not have been so hapless we would have a relazing second leg game. A bit pissed off, that i won't get to see the second game.
  17. Sports day for yours truly. World Cup Playoff as i am watching Greece-Ukraine which will be followed by France-Ireland and later this evening PPV boxing featuring Pacqiao-Cotto.
  18. Frank Tate Mark Breland Pernell Whitaker
  19. Don't worry, half the time i'm wondering myself Rob Morgan Lee Morgan Morgan Freeman
  20. kind of wondering what the link is between Heath and Pacino? They all starred in a film titled Heat. Chris Potter Adam Rogers Craig Taborn
  21. Al Pacino Robert De Niro Val Kilmer
  22. Wally Gator Lippy the Lion Hardy Har Har Cartoons seem appropriate for a saturday morning.
  23. Read this Camus when i was in high school, the subject and the tone is rather bleak, so reading itself is a bit of a challenge, so imagine reading it in a language which is not our first one , don't remember if the level of language could be troublesome. A guy that is worth reading in his original form is Boris Vian. So far , i read about 60 pages of the Wolfe, i enjoy his way of writing details about the way of thinking of his characters, the tone is not completely smirky, just enough to have a laugh at them while still making you want to know more about them.
  24. Thanks for the tip Here are the currents standing, Soulstation1 had a strong week while Connoisseur series had an horrendous one meanwhile vajerzy maintains the top spot, very tight competition as only 7 picks between the leader and the last place holder vajerzy 8 92 Noj 7 89 Soulstation1 11* 89 Aggie87 9 88 Connoisseur series 500 6 87 Edward 9 85 Van Basten II 9 85
