NO!! Lower-case p is different!

From Jay Onrait, at TSN.ca:




LOWE: Hello... is Mike there? MR. BILL COMRIE: Um, yep, I think so, one second... MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE! TELEPHONE! MIKE COMRIE: Got it Dad! LOWE: Mike... it's Kevin Lowe. MIKE: Just one second Kevin... Dad... you can hang up... I got it. LOWE: So anyway I... MIKE: I'm very sorry again Kevin... DAD! MR. BILL COMRIE: Oh! Sorry! (click) MIKE: So what's up? LOWE: Well Mike, I have an update on our efforts to get you out of town. MIKE: Excuse me? LOWE: I said I have an update on our efforts to trade you. We've worked out a deal with a Western Conference Club. MIKE: Is it Detroit? LOWE: (sarcastically) Yeah Mike, it's Detroit. I'm off to pick up Datsyuk at the airport right now. No I'm afraid it's Anaheim. MIKE: Anaheim? Well, that'll do I guess, anything to get me out of my old room! Dad's driving me nuts! LOWE: Yeah, well, there's sort of a catch. MIKE: A catch? What, the uniforms? Yeah, they ARE ugly. Especially the new third ones. Who designs those things? Bryan Murray's kids? With crayons? LOWE: It's not the uniforms. We'd like $2.5 million in cash from you before we agree to this deal. So if you could just write a cheque or go to the bank machine that would be great. MIKE: Wait a minute. $2.5 million in cash? I'm willing to sign for less than that with Anaheim! I'll be losing money to play hockey this season! LOWE: That just makes you like every NHL team except Toronto. The bottom line is, no pay, no trade. MIKE: Is this some sort of joke? LOWE: No, the Datsyuk thing was a joke. MIKE: I think I'd better talk to my agent. LOWE: Alright, call me back... (TO BE CONTINUED) Jay Onrait is the host of the late night edition of SportsCentre. He doesn't get much sleep. You can contact him at jonrait@tsn.ca



"The Datsyuk thing was a joke"! *Sniff* Ah, priceless.

Okay, to update the alias thing,


• Zeeth = Paras


• "Nobody knows my face" is unknown (though Paras has a sneaking suspicion it's Taylor)


• Cap'n Cromulent = Eric


• Yogic Flyer = Sabir (friend of Paras that some may know, who posted as a lark(not the bird, the harmless prank)


• Dinsdale=Tony


• Anything-A-Team-Related = Beck (= Matt, if you were confused)


• The Dream Kitchen = Pete

and, as far as we know

• p = P = Percy

finally,

• Any-Post-About-Crazy-Military-Types-Talking-To-Each-Other-From-The-Same-IP = Al, who I surmise desperately needs sleep or alcohol

so, Beck, your first non-canadian website visitor is from Jordan? That tiny Middle-Eastern Country plagued by war and intolerance... creepy.

Because you didn't know, here's some information on Jordan: It's sandwiched between Israel (west) and Saudi Arabia (east) with Syria to the north and Iraq bordering it on the northeast. It gained independence from the UK in 1946, and has been ruled by royalty, most recently King ABDALLAH II - the eldest son of King HUSSEIN and Princess MUNA. They're also undergoing some serious economic reforms at the present time too, and are joining the WTO (bad bad WTO!)

It's a lovely land of deserts, desert plains and highlands with limited freshwater resources, threats of droughts and earthquakes and desertification.

If you want to learn more, don't ask me. I was bored and looked it up on google. You could go to http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/jo.html if you want more info though... it's the CIA webpage (not interested in trying to make this a link, <but Par did!!> you'll have to tell me how sometime). But anyway, I'm sure you really didn't care to know all this anyway, you just didn't know where Jordan was, so now you know.

AAAAnyway, how do you know what country the people who visit your site are from? Do they survey the people, or do they just know based on server source? Because really, if I had to fill out a survey, how do you know I didn't just fill in Cambodia or Nicaragua for fun? Just checking.

layin’ down low like they do in the North Pole,
my house is just that god dam cold,
but no heat dont mean no defeat,
I got an essay due next week
with a little tongue-in-cheek.
Armed with my mind I ma crush the time.
Ain’t nothin’ better than chillin’ with Lime

Hurray! Now back to essay.

hey y'all,

is there anything going on tonight?
I feel like doing something, but I don't know what, nor how much of something I want to do.

maybe movies, or Denny's at 3am or something like that? Anything?
I don't want to study, give me something better to do!
with people, and not gross, of course. (perverts)

Who is the faceless dude? If it isn't Taylor, it is someone we know. I have to say Adrian Fong if I was going to guess someone and if not Jessie Li our buddy in Vancouver, and last guess would be Ray who we haven't seen in a while... That is all back to studying...

Hey I just tested out my broadband adapter for the gamecube and it works yay!

I just raced some guy in Missassauga (sp?) around the baby circuit in mariokart double dash. Hooray for hackers!
It was a bit laggy, but then again he's on the other side of the country, for more local games it should be smooth sailing.

yo Persey P why don't you give us a rhyme?
i know you "cut it up" like you're on double time
i mean double shift, rhyme sweet like a surgar sift
the gift that you give just keeps on givin'
cause you 'tis the season by simply chillin'

Par, nothing happens when I click the link with IE 6, other than it reloading and going back to the top of the page. With Mozilla I get this address: http://www.hmmthatsodd.com%00@www.ualberta.ca/~pmehta/COMMENTS/Guestbook.html

What's the trick?

jeez guys just chill out- so there's a couple wacky posts and a possible impending flame war, big deal. this is the internet after all. it was only a matter of time until this pseudo-Fark.com Bulletin board haven would turn into a monkey house, so the least you can do is enjoy the insanity.
or ignore it. cause let's face it, the more you vocalize your peevedness, the more crazy it's gonna get in here.
