| Not sure if this will help or hurt my score. That's going to be a lot of aging going on at once. |

It will be interesting to see. Your one of the only persons who won't care either way.
I liked Sutters remarks about New York calling Collie to give a suspension. It is bang on. Campbell even admitted he talked to Bettman about the Bertuzzi suspension before the Bertuzzi's hearing. Not very impartial hearing when the Judge is getting direction from his boss. And if you appeal the decision you have to go to Bettman who is no longer impartial. Kangaroo court. League's displinary process is a joke.

Looks like I have been absent for a bit from this thread. At this time of imperial soul searching in the CSF, I am here to lend my unsolicited advice and steal a few trinkets as well.
Never give up. We pirates went from being Kings of the Meta down to below number ten. But the fires still burned within the survivors of the time: one active member, two semi-active, and two rarely seen members at the time if I recall correctly. Now look at us. Before the Guardian's little bit of month long fun, we got back to #2. Sure, the Winds of Meta fortune blew in our favor again with the fall of the ANZACs. (ANZACs helped to make us big, ANZACs left us small, and another set of them came back to help us again.) We are a lucky bunch of bastards some times.
That is beside the overall point, though, which is: You only go from being undead to dead when you give up. Whether you go on as the CSF or as a undead themed empire is another matter entirely, but that at least shows some of you want to go on as an empire. So keep on fighting.
May the House of Eternal Unrest find peace within its own heart and go back to eating the unwary visitors.

Haha, I was just reading the Quotes section of "Canadian Bacon" at imdb. I just thought it would be fun to share some of the better ones. If you have not see Canadian Bacon. The premise is the President's popularity is dropping. THey know popularity rises during a war, but all the dangerous countries have already been defeated. (This was prior to 9/11). So they have the brilliant idea of starting a war with Canada.
TV Announcer: "The Canadians. They walk among us. William Shatner. Michael J. Fox. Monty Hall. Mike Meyers. Alex Trebek. All of them Canadians. All of them here. "
Gus: These Canadians suffer from a serious inferiority complex. That's why they built this: The Canadian National Tower! World's largest free-standing structure!
Gus: Canadians are always dreaming up a lotta ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young!
TV Announcer: Think of your children pledging allegiance to the maple leaf. Mayonnaise on everything. Winter 11 months of the year. Anne Murray - all day, every day.
TV Announcer: Like maple syrup, Canada's evil oozes over the United States.
Roy Boy: Are you sure we're in Canada?
Honey: You smell anything?
Roy Boy: No.
Honey: Exactly. Canada!
Boomer: The capital Toronto.
Mountie: No, the capital of Canada is Ottawa.
Boomer: Yeah, right. Do we look that stupid? Ottawa!
Roy Boy: Nice try, Dudley.
Highway Patrolman: I do have to fine you. That will be a thousand dollars Canadian, or 10 American dollars if you prefer.
Boomer: There it is, men. Toronto.
Roy Boy: It's beautiful. Like no other city I've ever seen. It's like Albany. Only cleaner.
President: You sold control of American missiles to a foreign country?
Hacker: If you can call Canada foreign.
Smiley: Or a country.
The genius of this movie was casting the Canadian actors as the Americans and the American actors as the Canadians. I mean how can Canadians be offended when it's John Candy insulting Canada?

| I don't believe the league is against Calgary. Although I seem to be in the minority |
|
I don't either, I'm just saying it is mickey mouse. If it were not LeCavalier but a forth liner I would bet a $100 loonies no suspension. It depends on who is hit and who is doing the hitting, and what the league thinks the perception of the incident will be in US market.

Another one lost too early.

Thanks Paquma, for taking the time to share that. I have seen bits of that movie but never sat down and saw the whole thing.
I remember an old movie where some 3rd world back water country declares war on the US in order to loose the war and have the US pay for indoor plumbing. I think mouse was in the title. It was very funny.
The mouse that roared, maybe

Found it on imdb The Mouse That Roared is correct. Made in 1959 so don't know if it would be funny today but I remember laughing my head off as a kid. Peter Sellers played 3 roles in the movie.
I loved Peter Sellers. The Gardener, where everyone thinks he is brilliant intellectual and he is really a simpleton gardenrer and all the Pink Panthers. Funny, funny man.

Still utterly hilarious. For those who enjoy the humor in American foreign policy, Dr. Strangelove is another Sellers classic. He also played three roles in that one, though a modern audience would likely miss a lot of the humor unless they were history buffs - an Adlai Stevenson-ish President, etc.
Sellers as Dr. Strangelove himself, the former German nuclear scientist, is definitely one of his all-time greatest comedic roles. "But of course, mein Führer - ahem - I'm sorry - 'Mister President.'"

I remember seeing a movie where the US president and staff faked a war with Albania to get attention off something about the President having sex with someone. Had Drew Barrymore running across a green screen with a bag of cereal I think, which changed into a battle scene with her carrying either a kitten or a baby, I don't remember which. It was something remotely cute.
