Aww. . . Boomster has a fanboy. That's so damn cute!
You should probably send him an autograph, Boomster.
Peace, brother.
Chickenhawk is the best book to come out of the Vietnam war.
A great flying story.
They got him in prison for weed, in the end.
Reminds me of Pretty Women.
Edward Lewis: “What's your name?”
Vivian: “What do you want it to be?”
T-Bone Spurs is Chief Wannabe.. jumping over corn stubble and chewing on moccasins..
So that must make him a good guy in Don Cherry's book.
Well, Don Cherry is a fan of Trump, so no surprise.
I haven't heard the players planning a strike to have him rehired. The sport has spoken, I wonder if this place can be visited for vermin like him. Bad enough being a refugee no they have to act like they aren't refugees before they can enter Canada. (after NATO fukked up their homeland)
Harper also cried about the Liberals raiding the public service pension surplus until he got elected.
So that must make him a good guy in Don Cherry's book.
Well, Don Cherry is a fan of Trump, so no surprise.
then it was ok.
It's taken me a couple of days, but after some sound reflection on this issue I believe I've come to the right conclusion.
Don Cherry meant only the swarthy men of Toronto, and the hairy Italian broads who all need electrolysis should be wearing poppies.

Yeah, it's complete bullshit. For example, the Tsa-La-Gi didn't have or use "Bowie knives." Ferfoxsake, the damn knife wasn't even named until 1836 when Jim Bowie made it famous. By then the survivors of the Tsa-La-Gi were already at the far end of the Trail of Tears.
That band was a bunch of dumb white kids. If you want to hear music by Indians in the mainstream, listen to Buffy Ste. Marie, Lobo, or America.
It's as bad as that dipshit Billy Jack movie.

Family of Humboldt Broncos crash survivor blacklists CTV over comments on The Social
CALGARY – The family of one of the survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash say they will no longer speak with CTV News over The Social host Jessica Allen's comments about hockey.
Allen, one of the hosts on the daytime talk show broadcast on the CTV Network, has been embroiled in controversy because of her reaction to the firing of Don Cherry from the Coach's Corner segment of Hockey Night in Canada.
During Tuesday's show, she said she doesn't "worship at the altar of hockey" and found in her experience that those who do "all tended to be white boys who weren't, let's say, very nice."
In reaction to Allen's statement, Tom Straschnitzki, the father of Ryan Straschnitzki, took to Twitter and said he would not be accepting any further interview requests from CTV News reporters until disciplinary action was taken against the host.
Requests for further comment were not returned.
Thursday evening, Allen tweeted a statement, where she said she regrets "saying my experiences were 'personal' instead of underlining that they were specific episodes from determined moments with particular individuals. As a result, I offended many people.
Not just our viewers, but parents, children, coaches, volunteers, and hockey families everywhere. To you you, I apologize. But I still can't apologize to the very specific hockey players I was referring to on Tuesday. I wish I'd used my voice and privilege more back then."
The entire statement may be viewed here:
A spokesperson for CTV said the comments from Allen have sparked a wider discussion from coast-to-coast but apologized to anyone who was offended by the remarks.
The full statement reads:
CTV’s The Social is based on opinion and debate about current issues, and we often hear from viewers who don’t agree with some of the perspectives on the show.
However, Jessica Allen’s comments about hockey have generated an extraordinary response. We’ve been touched by the stories we’ve heard from Canadians everywhere, including families from Humboldt, about what the game means to them. That matters to us.
We would like to apologize to everyone who was offended by the remarks, and let you know your feedback sparked much debate and introspection at The Social and CTV. We won’t restrict our hosts from offering their opinions on an opinion show, but we’ll always listen to viewers when they offer theirs.
