For that money being saved do I get trails where the corners are banked in the right direction so the drinks don't spill and where the hell is 2nd gear in those carts in case they do spill?

As a member can I hook up a light to my 6-speed shifter 'cart' for some trolling the trails 'after hours' if all the wreckage is cleaned up by daylight?

When I was a mere tad on the prairie, we used to play, by the hour, a game with jack knives. We called the game "knife" but its proper name is "mumble de peg." The game consists of a series of knife flips from various parts of the body. When flipped, the knife has to stick in the dirt with the handle upright. Each move has a name: spank the baby, over the world, chase the cow, stick the pig, and so on. I am uncertain whether urchins with knives play this game today...

But, a tax write-off would be nice just to cover bandages.

We used to play a similar game, but we called it 'stretch'

You would stand facing your opponent, starting with your feet together - each one with a jack-knife. The goal was to stick the blade into the dirt (can't move your feet).. Where ever you stuck the knife, your opponent would have to move their foot to that place.. Whoever couldn't stretch far enough would lose.

Mind you, there was also another way to win.. You could throw the knife really close to one of their feet and if they flinched (moved the foot), they'd lose.

It's not really subsidizing though. Unless of course you feel that payroll is also subsidy, along with cost of sales, operating expenses, insurance, rent, etc, etc. Businesses are taxed on net income. And not just large corporations, this is the small business owner as well.
Yup, it is. Yup, they are. Businesses survived long before tax cuts came along to subsidize them. IMO, if a business can't support itself it has no business being a business.

Stretch is what we used to call it, too. But we only used the one knife. We weren't rich enough for two. lol

We called that game "The splits"

Where you stand outside the boards? That takes 11teen candy bars just for the shivers, I'm a fan, how about a remote-camera and a warm van parked at the curb, might even put out a speaker so the 'players' can get real-time comments in the voice of 'Don Cherry' (after paying all royalty fees that is) Goal judge playbacks and the chocolate bars would then become an option rather than a necessity.

You were handing the knife back and forth in a 'knife fight' and you consider 'lack of money' to be the 'only issue' at play in that scene.

I can see where that one shared knife thing would be an advantage if your 'opponent' was also your 'girlfriend'.

Oh.

Do I? Or is it just that that's the only issue I mentioned?

Better game for that would be Twister.

Funny, I thought fans bought NHL, Oly, etc. tickets.

You thought wrong.

The money is in corporate ticket sales. Without that, no team would be successful.

Yup, it is. Yup, they are. Businesses survived long before tax cuts came along to subsidize them. IMO, if a business can't support itself it has no business being a business.

When was that?
