So yu a Jagr fan ? I used to be ok with him before the salute.


I liked Mark ... even tho he is Canadian ...  :p ... my kind of hockey player.

Jagr fan ... nope ... Bobby Orr fan ... last player that I really idolized and as far as I am concerned ... the finest player to ever strap on a pair of skates.

Other players are ...

Bobby Hull
Stan Makita
Brad Park
Gordie Howe
Derek Sanderson
Phil Esposito
Eddy Giacomin
Henri Richard

The list could go on.

I babysit for my grandson alot and I refuse to let him watch the cartoons that they have out for kids these days ... with the exception of Sponge Bob Square Pants and shows like Dora the Explorer.

One of my friends, Skip Krake started his career with the Bruins , played
with Espisito I think , knows Orr , I think Skip was traded when Orr came in .
He played with Sather in Boston as well , then Edmonton when Sather coached , they are still good friends , thats why the Rangers are important to some of us Canucks .

Hey Widewing - how's it going? I've seen this B4 but always thought it fascinating:

http://discovermagazine.com/2006/may/fuzzy-math

In a group of 23 people, the odds are better than even that at least two of them will share a birthday.

Seems as if you'd need many more people before you'd find a shared birthday, doesn't it? But consider the reverse situation, in which nobody shares a birthday. Since all birth dates are equally likely, then the odds of picking 23 different ones out of 365 aren't that good—less than fifty-fifty. Among 200 people, there is a 99.9999999999999999999999999 percent chance that two birthdays will match! So why don't you meet more people who share your birthday? That's because a specific match is less likely than an arbitrary one. For any two people to share a birthday, any day will suffice; for someone to share your birthday, only one does.


Regards,

Optiker

Jeez, I remember all the guys in this thread as handsome young stud fighter pile-its.

I must be getting old.

Louie.... you CAN'T be that old... how long ago was it we all met up in the great white north? You was just a kid then!

I remember going to my 50th high school reunion - what a shock to see all the old farts I went to school with. Of course I was still this dashing dapper dandy - all the gals I lusted after! - old crows!

Ever notice old is always 10 years older than you are?

Speaking of black and white TVs.....we got our first one in 1954.  I remember my Dad on the roof.  Our TV antenna was attatched to the chimney. We wanted to be able to watch a Cleveland Browns game and our antenna needed to be turned (anyone remember VHF and UHF?)  My job was to stand next to the window and watch the TV as my father turned the antenna.  When the picture came in for the station the game was on I was to yell at my father to let him know.


LOLOLOLOLOL   all I remember is  hearing the word "****" as my father whized by the window going down with the antenna cable in his hands.

Fortunately there were a lot of Hemlocks beneath him that cushioned his fall and he suffered only some minor bruises.  My 85 year old father and I still laugh until tears come from our eyes when we remember that.

Oh btw....we did get channel 8 in cleveland with his "antenna adjustment" and were able to see the Browns game.

I remember my dad trying to convince my brother and me that we had "color" tv by saying "see that guy he has a red shirt on" :)

I of course remember when there was NO tv like many of you in this thread and listening to the radio was the intertainment of the day.  Boston Blackie, Sky King, The Shadow, and Sgt Preston of the RCMP saying to his dog "thanks to you King this case is closed".

Man the memories flood in when reading some of these posts.

Agreed.  I've been tempted to post about a dozen more times but held back.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
