Eskimos 34   Alouettes22 bwaaaahahahaha! ;;D

Not bad.  It only took you 18 hours to finally post about your victory. http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/hahaha.gif  (I've heard Edmontonians are slow that way)


Seriously though (and you have NO idea how much it pains me to do this).....Congratulations Edmonton!! http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/cheering.gif You did deserve the win.  You outplayed them, plain and simple.  I s'pose we can let you have the cup every 10 years if we HAVE to.

Hey, Bryan Adams ROCKED, didn't you think???  Poor old Ryan Malcolm though - someone better teach him how to lip synch a lil better.   ::)  AND, he should sing the anthem in English first...but that's only this lowly westerner's point of view.  

Again, congrats, Mac.  Enjoy the victory.  (because it won't happen again for another 10 years, right?)

You going to the hockey game at Commonwealth this weekend?  Brrrr...

Hey Mac!

Congratulations dude!  The Eskimos played great and the Alouettes played terribly.  You guys deserve it!

I had a bunch of friends at the house to watch the game (and not much beer when they left) and everyone agreed this game was yours... [smiley=bag.gif]

But then again, you guys have so many ex-Alouettes out there, no wonder you won this one ;)

I was at the Al's game at the Big 'O in Montreal last week and it was very tough against Toronto.  We are going to have to make some changes if we want to bring the Cup back!

Enjoy it while it lasts... ;)

Ryan Malcolm's lip sync gaff was more obvious than Shania but can someone tell me why they didn't get Don Matthews a tissue?It was hard eatin' chili while "the Don"was  a drippin'[smiley=hurl.gif]
It was all pretty CFL.  ;;D

Margi, as to your question about going to the Heritage Classic I'm playing that night but I'll be able to watch a lot of it on the tube. They should have maybe made it Calgary stars against Edmonton stars but Calgary didn't have any :o what a burn  [smiley=laugh.gif]

LOL Mac - yeah, we had to look away when they were interviewing the Snotmeister.  Ewwwww !!

And, might you be referring to the Calgary Shames, sir?  I'll have you know they're on a winning streak right now.  They're what, one in a row or something?  

Is it true that Guy Lafleur is going to be PLAYING? Global has an ad on right now and it sure looks like he's playing.....are we SURE he's not coaching?? The man has GOT to be hittin' sixty, doesn't he?  He's still pretty though.  http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/hearts.gif

Too bad The Whiner's gonna play though.  He'll probably run cryin to the ref before the second face off.

Hi Margi,

Yes! Guy "Flower" Lafleur will be playing and he's not that old (I think 52) and he is still in great shape.  I saw him playing last year and he still looks good on the ice.

This game played outside should be a blast.  It's funny because the trainer of the Mtl Canadiens has asked the Green Bay Packers a few tips on how to keep the players warm!  Hockey players are not used to the cold like some football players are!   That's strange...

Anyway, I hope we do something like this in Montreal soon.

And the beer should be cold in the stands ::)

miCHel, football and hockey fan

*sigh*

I shook Guy's hand here when the Flames first arrived from Atlanta and we were playing the Habs.  We were like the kids in those lifesavers commercials....waiting for the players to come out of the dressing rooms.  LOL  We didn't wait for our own team - we waited for Montreal!!

He has SUCH pretty brown eyes.... what a beautiful skater.  The man is poetry in motion.  OK, I'll shut up about him......*sigh*  http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/praise2.gif  one of the greats!!

Good to hear he's still playing!!  Might even be worth a 3 hour drive up to the frozen wasteland to the north of me.  I'd imagine tickets are pretty scarce though.

MiCHel, I'm betting there'll be brandy in those thermoses..... ;)

To All Calgarians (?)

Margi...   I think yer on yer own here.  ;)     Even when I lived in Calgary, I was still a Rider fan.   Born a Rider fan and I'll die a Rider fan!    

Fun to go to the games between the Stamps and either of the Esks or Riders.   More fans for the visitors than there is for the home team.

As for yesterdays game...     DAMN Riders shoulda been there  >:(  (if only they had shown up BEFORE the 4th quarter when it was too late)

And the Heritage Classic...   I have a few friends going up there for that.  They are from a Habs fan clubs from Saskatoon  (biggest Habs fan club outside of Quebec    [smiley=hurl.gif])

Yep...   "Old-Pros" probably don't remember the last time they played outdoors.   I'd love to be going even though I HATE both teams.   ;)

Canucks and Riders fan even after 15 yrs in Calgary

Actually Margi I think the Flames just lost in overtime to...let's see..oh yeah the OIL.snicker    ::) as The Friendly Giant used to say"hey Rusty have you seen Jerome?" "Yeah Friendly, he's packin' his bags cause he's outta Cowtown - before the end of the season(that's my fearless prediction!)

The "OIL" indeed  ::)

And, uh, lissen up pal....you can diss the Shames all you want....(most Calgarians do too, now :()  but do not...I repeat...do NOT take the name of Friendly in vain.

EsPECIALLY not Rusty!!!

Aw, THERE they are!!  Jerome!!  That old castle....  I always wondered how they got Rusty into that little bag.  And figured it MUST be a giant's castle, because Jerome never had to worry about hitting his head.  

And, Mast, that's ok - we've already adopted you to be an honorary Canadian.  :)

Thanks for the pic, Mac.  For an Edmontonian....you're ok.  http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/gap.gif

Ahhhhh The Friendly Giant!

Bored the hell out of me even when I was a kid (I'd probably enjoy it more now  ;;D).

Has anyone ever heard the radio spoof of "The Unfriendly Giant".  At the end of every episode, Unfriendly would kill one of the othe other characters in the worst way possible.

Now that was funny...

miCHel


PS  Margi, when you shook Guy Lafleur's hand, did you notice how huge they are?  Unbelievable!  They had a big story in the paper this morning about him.  The journalist said that at 52 (I was right for once), most twenty year old kids would be ashamed to compare themselves to him without a shirt on.  He's still in great shape.  
Title: Re: To all Calgarians!
Post by Margi on Nov 18th, 2003, 10:14am
Oh, absolutely, MiCHel!!  My hand just disappeared in his.  

Same with Bobby Orr - we met him out in Kelowna (yes, he was drinking Kokanee!! It's the beer out here! :)) and the man's forearm was bigger than my leg!  

And, MiCHel - you DO know Friendly's watching from his castle in the sky now, don't you?  psssst.....buddy......he's a GIANT!!!   :o  he could squash you like a bug for saying that.  I will admit that that lil Rusty dude was a little creepy but Jerome was sweet enough for the both of them.

Rusty the rooster   (if memory serves me ;) )

Post by Margi on Nov 18th, 2003, 11:00am
oh.  duh.  Yeah, that makes sense, Grant.  Thanks :)

Pretty scrawny little rooster.  I wonder how many Canadians have deep-seated Rusty phobias from their childhoods.  His mouth didn't MOVE, man.  He WAS creepy.  And that squeaky voice of his.  Like fingernails on the blackboard. http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/scared.gif

Maybe he was the forerunner to Barney.....

Here are some interesting tidbits about the show. Jerome [smiley=mellow.gif]was a stoner [smiley=slowlaugh.gif].He was always high - he is a giraffe after all. I think The Friendly Giant wore leotards and that's why he was so "friendly". His close friends called him "The". A few years after the show went off the air Rusty came out of the bag and declared that he was gay. He and his partner Casey of  Mr. Dress Up fame live in Vancouver.

Title: Re: To all Calgarians!
Post by Margi on Nov 18th, 2003, 11:34am
well, thanks Mac - that does explain a lot.  No WONDER Jerome was always so mellow.  ;)

Casey and Rusty, huh?  I hope they didn't corrupt poor Finnegan in the process....

I bet Mr. Dressup taught Casey everything he knows (if you know what I mean *nudge, nudge, give us a wink, then*)   I think there was probably porn in that tickle trunk.  

Yeah, Jerome and Finnegan were cool though.  Finnegan was a little dopey but, that was his charm.

And then there was Miss Ann and her kick ass mirror - you know, the one where she could see ME and all the other good lil doobees.
