witesoxfan Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Greatest freakin' day of my life. I woke up at my buddy's house, and saw a Bonds Macfarlane figure on the ground. I told him I wanted it and he gave it to me. Thing of beauty, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Anyone ever been to Montreal? I'm going up there to see the Hawks play in a week, staying only a couple of days. Anyways, I want to go to the casino there, the big 'Casino de Montreal'. Of course I want to make a trip there but when checking their website I didn't see anything about Texas Hold'em (the game I'd be playing there). I thought a hold'em area was pretty standard to most casinos -- I'd be pretty dissappointed to go there and find out they don't have any hold'em tables...

That's the European game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, I just looked on the map of Canada and picked the southern-most territory But now that I think about it, it would probably be Quebec considering that they continue to try and secede from Canada Edited January 2, 2008 by kyyle23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a good enough fit, and I like the sound of Alberta Hold 'Em. (although it kind of sounds like a shampoo commercial, now that I think too much about it....)

Also, I really think the floats are cool... the detail is amazing. What do you think after seeing it up close? Before and after the Parade, a variety of people decide to march down the open street since they have an audience of a million people or so, and others wanted to make statements about specific acts in the parade. The "God kills sinners" people have been there bookending the parade every year I've been there. This year we also had a block of Ron Paul people walking, a group of Taiwanese people protesting the decision to allow China to enter a float celebrating their Olympics, and I'm told Cindy Sheehan was somewhere in the area although I didn't see their group marching. The floats and the whole presentation are quite impressive up close. For about 2 weeks out here we get to see them being constructed slowly on the news as the networks all take a few moments to broadcast from the construction sites. Not sure what else to say, it's an impressive undertaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about Dylan? I haven't heard many(if any) people describe his music as sexy. Although I absolutely love his stuff.
