I'm too lazy to write up something new. So if you got the email, it doesn't matter; your complaints of duplication have fallen on deaf ears (besides, I've bolded the important bit):

Hello fine people,

So, no doubt many of you are wondering, how can I make the most of gorgeous [insert weather forecast here] weather we're going to have this Saturday afternoon?

Well, you may sleep well tonight, friends, knowing that a way out of your dilemma has been found! It's a little-known game called hockey (rhymes with tick-tockey, I believe).

Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams compete by trying to...

All right, bullshit aside, this Saturday (the 23rd of December), at 2:00 we shall be playing hockey on the street, putting a new twist on a classic game, as it were. The location is in front of the old Gauthier place. (Which is, of course, at 4119 - 126 Street.)

Now, if you wish to partake, I need a tiny favour from you (well, maybe two). First off, let me know if you can make it (and if you're convincing other enthusiastic friends who I have disgracefully left off of my email list to make it).

More importantly, though, I'd like to know whether you have any sort of goaltending equipment (specifically pads, blocker, glove.) We've taken care of goalsticks and the nets, but we're in need of the other goalie equipment. (Also, I guess, on the same front, if you have extra sticks, or if you need a stick, let me know as well; perhaps some matching can be done on that front.)

If you need more info, hit that little reply button email me, or give me a call at 435-5571; I've got nothing better to do for the next two days.

Thanks, all, and hope to see many of you Saturday afternoon.


(Oh, and Al, incidentally, I don't have your email address (well, except the old ualberta one.) Wanna email me the new one? Thanks)

I'd surely chip in a cool million to see that thing run around destroying things for 4 minutes.

Yeah, Al, I know, but it costs about 250 000 adena per minute to run that fucker. Someday, though.

haha, know what's even more awesome? this isn't the first time they've done stupid stuff. i asked the guy if their, um, chick peas had green beans in them (because i'm allergic to them, and my allergies keep getting worse and worse), only the guy didn't even know what green beans were! he kinda stirred up the food and said he didn't think there were any, then sold me some only for me to discover upon opening the styro container that there were green beans right on top.

how do you not know what green beans are??

and doubly important, how do you not know what's in your food?

My sister would have a field day with this blatant display of lack of food safety. Sounds like time for a law suit or something.

is it even still the Eurasian Bistro? i thought it was under new ownership - cause that manager, the White dude who somehow had Jamaican heritage doesn't seem to be there any more

so...

i have completely lost faith in the eurasian bistro in HUB... up until recently, they had my highest regard... but then one of the people working there didn't even know what green beans were let alone if they were in the food i was ordering or not... and then they were in it, and i had to return my food... grr...

and then today, i ordered the butter chicken... and while i'm all for getting hot food from the stove instead of the stuff sitting in the display warmer, it should be cooked first so, after having eaten a couple pieces of sauce-drenched naan bread (mmm, so tasty) i bit into a piece of chicken to find it not exactly, um, tender, pulling it out of my mouth to find it a vivid shade of pink... so... what do you do? i don't feel like walking back to hub, but if i get sick... what then? i think i'll be okay, i didn't eat much of it, yet, the principle of the thing still applies...

who the hell serves uncooked food to their patrons??
