[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

i say michael and i prove to each other who is truly the more knowledgable canuck fan. i dont doubt your a mega-fan, but im interested in seeing how i stack up against you.

how could we make this work? it would be fun.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Red Ships - I only became a true fan in 2000 when I moved to Van. But I did root for them in the playoffs (when they weren't playing Gretz and the Kings) throughout the 90s. So I have some background knowledge. We need an unbiased, mutual 3rd party member to deliver the questions. See you on top of the world...

 

[zonelistener]

How can we verify it is "your" knowledge though?

MSN IM might be the only way to do it fairly...otherwise - you can't answer them quickly - or, you check the Internet.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Zoni - I'd be totally into that...IM, yes, IM...I have downloaded it now you know. Finally, I'm almost up to speed with all of you guys.

PS. Zoni, thanks agains for the nice sentiments of this big piece of land up here. I think you'd really like BC. Right now, I'm living in my home town again, smack dab in the Okanagan Valley (which resides on one of the biggest lakes in BC, Okanagan Lake)...if you ever come to BC, you shoud check this area out. It's the wine region of the country, very central California-ish. Also check out the Kootenies and, of course, the Coast. Oh, go up to Banff, Alb, too...the glacial Lake Louise is a must see. Forgive the size of this shot...but it gives you a good idea of the scenery...(I'm such a shameless promoter...maybe I should go into tourism.)

 

[zonelistener]

WOW! That looks amazing.

OK, as soon as I get a chance - I am cruising to towards BC (to start). Eventually I would like to get to the Banff too.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Look at that scenery.


I need to go on another vacation.

An unbiased member to moderate? Look no further.

PS- Will someone fix my discoball?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I think Chizzer's site is down.

Change your sig. That red x is pissing me off.

 

[Edgeman]

That green water is so cool....we drove to kananaskis one year...being there is person is just breathtaking.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Yeah, the whole area through Roger's Pass is amazing. Jasper is really nice, too. There are literally hundreds of those glacial lakes up there.

 

[Edgeman]

Now I want to go back there right now!

Thanks a lot Griff.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Well, I imagine you're not too far away at least.

 

[Edgeman]

Far enough for it to take a day to get there.....sounds like a good road trip idea.....

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

i saw a picture of that in one of my vacation magazines! i want to go there! but not in the winter!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

But look what you'd be missing out on if you don't go in the winter. It may be colder, but it's so much more spectacular! Well, in this shot you can't see the tiel glacial water...but imagine if you could?

 

[zonelistener]

Iris...
That was taken in July actually - notice - the lake is not frozen.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

So when was the first pic taken?

 

[zonelistener]

August (the only non-snowing month in igloo-laden canuckland).



I am JUST trying to help you guys with the "legend"!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Oh, right, of course...yes. I'm having a rather bad case of amnesia this year...lifetime, actually...explains a few things.

*like an old man, mutters under his breath...and stumbles into corner

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

i can tell by the first picture that it wasn't taken in the winter time. i was just stating a fact that i would love to visit long as it is not during the winter time. and i am trying to imagine myself looking at the glacier and frozen pond with snow covered trees and all i can sense is my bones aching and me becoming annoyed.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Yes, I know that silly! I was just showing you how great it looks in the winter (uhm...summer I mean).

 

[zonelistener]

Um, Iris, that is a lake - an it isn't frozen.....
And those are "Glaciers," those are mountains

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

yes jeff, i know. i am just playing along. i am not that stupid i would hope that i would know the difference between a frozen body of water, glaciers and rocky mountains.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Now, now people...let's have a group hug! Don't you feel the love in the air??? In the frozen wintery air? That actually takes place in the summer? Don't you???!!! Come on, kisses for all (well, except Zoni ).

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

OK, back to hockey...


How bout those oompa-loompas?

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

my oompa-loompas

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Ooooompa Looooompa!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't heard that since I was 6! I used to say that all the time! Yes, PopAngel, how about those oooompa loooompas? How about them, indeed.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm shocked they aren't owned by Disney as well!!!! Can you just see the uniforms now?

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Oooooompaaaa Looooooompaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't just saying it make you feel all giddy inside?
