Don't really know each other...Part #2

[TOMGUNNER]

Well, I did the first part a few months ago..and not many people filled it out for the longest time...Then BOOM, everyone got into it. So, like a successful movie, here's the sequal ;D. With all the "talking" we do over the year, I like to know who I'm talking to,....must be my profession .... oh yeah, add some question if ya think of anything good!

1. Best Off-Season move the leafs did, or did not do: I'd have to say the best thing, was NOT giving Bobby Holik 9million dollars

2. Worst Off-Season move: NOT signing Amonte...imagine...Mats/Gary/Amonte

3. You Favorite TV show: Come on now, gotta be The Simpsons

4. Least Favorie TV show: Easy, Seinfeld...always hated it

5. Favorite school subject...followed by least favorite school subject: GYM or Math.....hated Science the most

6. In one word....personal feelings towards the PERSON aside...is Belfour and Upgrade over CUJO. YES OR NO. ( just one word please ): YES!

7. Your Dream Car: '67 Stingray!

8. Best current NHLer: Sakic

9. Quick Description of yourslef: 6'1", 210..dark hair..( always shaved bald )...wear glasses...but mostly contact-lenses

10. All-Time favorite sports memory: Well, I have yet to see the cup in T.O., so I'll have to go with the Salt Lake City Win over the US

11. All-Time favorite athlete: That's hard.....I'll have to go with Joe Montana ( honerable mention goes to Cam Neely, and a soccer player named Juergen Klinsman )

12. If any, YOUR favorite Sports moment ( not pro sports, involving yourself or your kids ): I guess mine would be....kicking the winning field goal in the High School Championship Football game, in over time...from 47 yards out. ( longest I had ever kicked before was about 40 )

13. One answer ( due to Pam's habit )....who will win the Cup this year: ahhhhhhhhhh San Jose...hurts to say that

14. Describe/your opinion of Don Cherry in 1 word: ICON

15. Keeping it fairly clean ;D, weirdest/worst/meanest/dirtiest/embarassing etc etc etc. thing you've ever done...or that you can/wanna share : Back in High Schhol ( I was a true jerk/jock back then )...we had to make a video presentation for a Geography class....my buddy and I ( a current NHLer )...switched this one kids video with a XXX Porn....the kid ( real ignorant little guy, always thought he was better then everyone )...went up there, put the tape in, turned the lights off, and hit PLAY..... ;D....ahhhh it seriously took him almost 30 seconds to find the stop button in the dark. The teacher was not too happy...but no-one knew that it was us...we got away with it

Hope some of you have the time to fill this out....laters

[Leafs_Pam]

I dated a "Cop" for something like 8 years (we never got serious about each other at the same time though). I caught one of his habits very shortly after we started dating: People watching all the time just to see what they are doing. I still do it even after 30 years.

1. Best Off-Season move the leafs did, or did not do: I guess I'll have to go along with the Holik answer, but I could go just as easily with Kasparitis

2. Worst Off-Season move: NOT signing Amonte

3. You Favorite TV show: It no longer exists. It was the X-Files. I like Witchblade and Deadzone, so I guess it could be one of them. Outside of Hockey, those are the only two programs I watch now that X-Files no longer exists (I did warn you guys I was weird ;D).

4. Least Favorite TV show: Most of the programs on TV

5. Favorite school subject...followed by least favorite school subject: Science. History.

6. In one word....personal feelings towards the PERSON aside...is Belfour and Upgrade over CUJO. YES OR NO. ( just one word please ): I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me (that's the 5th Amendment of the United States).

7. Your Dream Car: Bright Red Ferrari. I've loved them for years. I saw one today in Santa Cruz and drooled over it as I walked by it.

8. Best current NHLer: I have to think about this one longer. I guess I could say either Patrick Roy or Jose Theodore.

9. Quick Description of yourself: 5 ft 3 1/2. I refuse to give my weight because I gained weight (but not by overeating) the 9 1/2 month's I was out of work.

10. All-Time favorite sports memory: I have 3. Sorry Tom. My one and only game at Maple Leaf Gardens on 12/26/98. Men's Team Canada winning the Gold. The Dodgers winning the 1988 World Series.

11. All-Time favorite athlete: That's a hard one. If I say just one then I will get in trouble, so you're stuck with 4 (sorry Tom, I don't know how to give just 1 answer). Don Drysdale, Felix Potvin, Alyn McCauley and Orel Hersheisher.

12. If any, YOUR favorite Sports moment ( not pro sports, involving yourself or your kids ): I wasn't good in sports. I played Field Hockey in High School and was always called for High Sticking (I never hurt anyone though). I guess I was best in Archery but that's not much to crow about. So I'll say this one. When I was 15, I was at my cousin's for Thanksgiving. One of the friends who joined them brought her boyfriend who was in the Army. My cousin's b/f, his twin brother (who I liked), her best friend and her brother, and a few others were there too. We decided to play tackle football after dinner (we at at 3pm). Mixed teams of boys and girls. The guys liked to choose me because they said I didn't hike the ball like a girl, that I hiked like a boy. Well we were running down the yard and I tackled the friend's b/f, the one in the Army. I think he was something like 6 feet tall and 21, and I'm under 5'4." He was shocked when we got up. He said "you tackled me!!" I said "of course, we are playing tackle football." He said, "yeah but I didn't think we were really going to do it because you are girls." LOL!! I had a really good laugh at his expense. He was really embarassed. ;D


13. One answer ( due to Pam's habit )....who will win the Cup this year: Not San Jose!! I wouldn't like that if they win it before the Leafs can.

14. Describe/your opinion of Don Cherry in 1 word: You guys would yell at me if I gave my opinion of him.

15. Keeping it fairly clean , weirdest/worst/meanest/dirtiest/embarassing etc etc etc. thing you've ever done...or that you can/wanna share : I was a good kid in high school. I was very shy and didn't like to be noticed. I forgot knowing some of the most popular boys in school doesn't allow that. (I didn't date them, they were strictly friends.) I hung around with 4 other girls who were shy like I was, but they were jealous because I was friends with popular guys (the guys were on the Varsity Football team and the Varsity Basketball team). I've always just been one of the guys. From the time I was 6 years old I've hung out with the boys playing marbles with them, going to the pond and catching polywogs and frogs with them. I was a tomboy. I probably still am. I will add that I do like men. I have men that are nothing but friends, and then there are the men I like as a woman. ;D

Why Colorado?

14. Boy Stugats, you're braver than I was.

[Shadowcaster57]

1. Best Off-Season move the leafs did, or did not do:

Not spending nine million per year over five years on a 50-point sh*t-disturber (Holik). Geez, at that price, Peca and Tucker are wildly underpaid. Hell, while this is an unpopular opinion, this makes Reichel and his fifty points look like a freaking bargain.

2. Worst Off-Season move:

Again, I'll have to go with the consensus and cite the Amonte non-signing. However, I have to say that from a PR perspective, an equally awful move was complaining about the ludicrious sums some of these players were getting and then confirming that they almost paid said ludicrious amounts for Holik and Kasper. Come on.

3. You Favorite TV show:

Absolute favourite? Okay, I'll go with the Simpsons.

4. Least Favorie TV show:

I'm sure there are a lot of gawd-awful TV shows out there that had I sat down and watched, I'd be much more against. Can't really pick one least favourite show.

5. Favorite school subject...followed by least favorite school subject:

My favourite subjects throughout my education were my philosophy and ethics courses at university. I loved being able to be creative in class and argue my head off at the same time. Now, in high school, I was good at math but I just hated it (biggest reason I never went into CompSci, which I probably should have - so I'll pick that as my least favourite.

6. In one word....personal feelings towards the PERSON aside...is Belfour and Upgrade over CUJO. YES OR NO. ( just one word please ):

Yes.

7. Your Dream Car:

Any type of well-built roadster I could open up along coastal highways. A Porsche Boxster convertible would be nice.

8. Best current NHLer: Joe Sakic

9. Quick Description of yourself:

6'0" if I round up ;D (I'm 5'11 and three-quarters of an inch - da*n that quarter of an inch!) and 185 pounds. Dark hair, dark complexion. I've been wearing glasses since I was seven so I'm completely used to them and I like wearing them. (I think I would honesty wear frames with non-corrective lenses even if I had laser corrective surgery.) I wear contacts on rare occasions.

10. All-Time favorite sports memory:

So far, the Canada gold-medal win against the U.S. in Salt Lake.

11. All-Time favorite athlete:

Joe Montana. I was a huge 49ers fan growing up.

12. If any, YOUR favorite Sports moment ( not pro sports, involving yourself or your kids ):

Going into the last leg of a 200 metre freestyle relay at a swim meet, I was anchoring the school's A-team. We were a half-a-length back, and dead last, coming into the final stretch when I got into the water. I won the race by a hair and I still, to this day, do not know how the hell I managed to make up that much time against the best swimmers from other schools. I had beaten them in individual events, but not by that much time.

13. One answer ( due to Pam's habit )....who will win the Cup this year:

I'll go with Colorado.

14. Describe/your opinion of Don Cherry in 1 word:

Relic.

[Shadowcaster57]

15. Keeping it fairly clean ;D, weirdest/worst/meanest/dirtiest/embarassing etc etc etc. thing you've ever done...or that you can/wanna share:

Oy. So many bad experiences of my own doing that I could share. I'll choose this one:

Back, when I was a frosh at UofT, I had this little feud going with a guy in my year. Actually, this was not unusual because most of the guys in my year had a thing against this guy. He was a smug little bastard who drove everyone nuts. As our male and female residences were segregated at that time, he could sweet-talk the ladies and work them, then brag about his crap and talk about them like they were nothing more than crap once he was back amongst the males. That pissed me off to no end.

Anyway, the first major formal of the year had the girls asking the guys (I believe it's called a Sadie Hawkins in the 'States) and he was in full slimeball mode, working the girls in our year and finally getting one of the best-looking girls to ask him. There was much grumbling amongst the rest of us loser males who didn't have dates as he was bragging and talking sh*t about this when no other females were around. Some of us tried to spread the word at the female residence about this guy, but since we didn't know that many females at the time (it was pretty darned segregated and in first year, we were too busy being boys with the pranks and what all), it wasn't enough.

So, instead of sitting there and seething about it, a couple of buddies and I decided that we had to spread the word, and came up with the incredibly stupid (in retrospect) idea of printing up a satire newsletter involving this guy. I had been involved in a (legitimate) project in high school - we had a regular satire paper - so it wasn't that difficult to pull off. The problem was, we went completely apesh*t and filled up two sheets of letter-size with venomous articles, jokes and USA-Today-style diagrams that bordered (depending on the interpretation) on slander. Then we got the bright idea of printing out 800 or so copies and distributing them over both residences.

The next morning was an interesting one (we had distributed these things in the middle of the night). While both parties (slimeball guy and the girl who asked him) were embarrased about it, we talked to both of them and they didn't hold too many ill-feelings towards us. Everything we said in the newsletter was true, just twisted in the worst light possible. They were pissed, but she was pissed at slimeball guy and slimeball guy was pissed because he'd been exposed.

Then the sh*t hit the fan. Upper-years were furious at this. Upper-year females (femi-nazi wingnuts) were mad as hell because we had seemingly insulted a female. We also had upper-year males marching into our rooms blasting us about slandering this poor girl and besmirching her honour, and blah, blah, blah. The sentiment would have been more honourable had it not been so transparent that these upper-years were trying to "protect her", win brownie-points and get in her pants. My co-conspirators and I were this close to being dragged in front of our College's (UofT's Art and Sciences faculty is divided into seven distinct colleges - much like Oxford/Cambridge - to make the student body more manageable) student-run Disciplinary Committee until these over-protective upper-year males couldn't convince the girl to file a complaint. We were this close to getting kicked out of residence that year. Thank God it blew over.

To this day, I contend there is nothing as stupid and niave in this world as a first year university student.

LOL!! ;D Nope, I'm afraid the 5th Amendment belongs to the United States.

[Rusty]

Well I have some time to kill, I liked the other "Getting to know you" thread, this one looks like it may be as fun!

1. Best Off-Season move the leafs did, or did not do:

Gotta say Holik and Kasper, and Fleury. Signing these guy's I feel would interupt what team chemistry we have, also the best move was signing the Kidder, they should have traded for him at the deadline last year also they should have flipped Cujo for a lot of prospects and a good dependable Dman. Go Kidder Go, I have liked this guy since his WJC days, okay he was the reason the Cat rode the pine but in the end it worked out sorta kinda!

2. Worst Off-Season move:

Would like to say not signing Cujo, but when I see the way he has basically thumbed his nose at the average Leaf fan, well he can bite me (enuff said). Would also like to say signing the Eagle, but I still feel deep down in my Blue and White heart that he is going to make a big impact on the team. Of course now with his finger injury that will have to wait for a while.I guess my answer to this question would be offering a contract to Hoglund and him excepting, if it were a perfect world than we would ship out Hoglund, Riechel, Berg, Lumme, Errikson (Thank god he is gone woohoo, one down several to go...).

3. You Favorite TV show:

King of the Hill, Love Hank's anal nature. Also Boomhower cracks me up, funny thing is I am starting to understand what he is saying!

4. Least Favorite TV show:

Anything to do with the Star Trek industry, my god how many times can they re-hash the same storyline!!!

5. Favorite school subject...followed by least favorite school subject:

Auto Mechanics/Body shop/Machine shop/Welding. Least fave Math (don't tell my daughter that...)

6. In one word....personal feelings towards the PERSON aside...is Belfour an Upgrade over CUJO. YES OR NO. ( just one word please ): No

7. Your Dream Car(s):

Okay I want a 1967 ZL1 Camaro, all alluminum 427 shear brute horsepower, to bad there were only about 100 of these cars made! Anything with the Prancing Horse on the hood.

8. Best current NHLer:

Sakic, can't agree more with you on this one.

9. Quick Description of yourslef:

6'1", 2 something, dark brown hair (although the more I go to the barber the more my hair is going grey, kids ugh!!!) glasses, sometimes I wear contacts but only when I put on the pads.

10. All-Time favorite sports memory:

Gotta be September 1972!

11. All-Time favorite athlete:

Tough one, maybe Gordie Howe, maybe Dale Earnhardt, maybe a host of people too many to choose from.

12. If any, YOUR favorite Sports moment ( not pro sports, involving yourself or your kids ):

I have two in this subject, the first one is watching from the bench as my son scored a goal from the point last year, I have been away from so many of his games that I have missed all of his goals. The other one was when I played in a rec (Wreck) league on base several years ago it was late in a 1-0 game I made a save that I still to this day don't know how I made, it was on a breakaway and i went out to challenge the player I skated backwards with him to the net, the player tried to deke and fired the puck stick side, I turned my stick backwards deflecting it with the paddle down near the heal. I still tell young goalies never turn your stick backwards, but we all know that at times we don't practice what we preach.

13. One answer ( due to Pam's habit )....who will win the Cup this year:

Do we go with a gut instinct ? or do we go with the heart? My instinct says Detroit, my heart as always is with the Leafs. Sorry couldn't go with one answer.

15. Keeping it fairly clean , weirdest/worst/meanest/dirtiest/embarassing etc etc etc. thing you've ever done...or that you can/wanna share :

When I first joined the Military I signed up for the Reserves in New Brunswick, we had just finished our Basic training (if that's what you want to call it!) in Moncton. We had this really really annoying guy on our course who had done everything and anything better than everybody else on the course.

We had a little bit of a party after the course (Okay it was a big party LOL), and we were all sitting there while this guy was passed out on his sleeping bag, we preceded to pour anything and everything on this guy (I will leave it at that due to the fact that you wanted to keep it "fairly clean" LMAO), including the old stand by shaving cream in the palm of his hand, then we tickled his nose and he started swiping at his face. I am sure he had to dispose of all his clothing and sleeping back, although he did smell really good form the can of shaving cream and 2-3 bottles of perfume/aftershave we dumped on him, which killed the smell of the "Other stuff" we sprayed on him.

Sorry for the long winded post.

Ciao for now
