Well Wickenheiser played for a Finnish pro hockey team, and Manon Rheaume tended net for the Lighting in the preaseason in 92-93. Does that count?

Scarborough, actually. She named it after her hometown ;)

And how did we repay him? we named a lake after him, and let his wife name the township I was raised in :p

My dad spent as much of my childhood grounded as I did for being the mastermind behind whatever shenanigan had landed my in hot water. He was always actively trying to make the things I imagined come to life. In fact, the two crossed paths one day during the summer when I was about 6 when my dad offered to help me…

I just went to watch the Entourage movie trailer because I hadn’t seen it (or a single episode of the tv show) and I’m seriously disappointed to learn that George Takei was in this douche-bro flick... I feel betrayed!

Yeah our school was average sized as well, we all knew each other (probably only about 150-200 grads).

Most of my friends are high school friends, 15 years removed from graduation we’re still silly close. But graduation itself was never a big deal, it was just something that happened, and some of us went because our parents wanted us to, some wanted to get dressed up, but a large chunk of us couldn’t care less.

Are high school graduations that much of a big deal? I did’t even bother to attend mine (same as 20 per cent of my graduating class), I just got a nice envelope in the mail a week later with my honours diploma and a congratulatory form letter from the principal.

See, my first reaction was “Wow... I guess that’s one way to start a song. But is it necessary?”

I don’t buy that - I always get a full can, in coach, on my flights. But I’m a white female, so all I have to do is say “could I have a whole can?” and they give me one unopened.

My evil little sister used to give out a fake name alongside my cell phone number at the clubs she frequented in her early 20’s. It wasn’t uncommon for a while for me to get three or four randos call me a week. Of corse she didn’t bother warning me, and it took me about 6 months to figure out the calls coincided with…

This needs to be bumped up!

Agreed. I recently moved from the ‘Big City’ to a much smaller ‘City’ and noticed that where I’m from, even though were 30+, fewer than a third of my large group of friends are married, and only a couple of the married ones have children.

It’s holds about accurate for my group of friends (82-86), we’re somewhere between 1 partner and 7 at the highest (as far as we’ve honestly discussed it at least).

It’s been 3.5 years for me, and frankly I don’t miss it because I haven’t been in a substantial enough relationship in that span that made me miss it.

I like that rule...

Yeah except it’s the swill sold at the Beer Store, and no real self-respect fan of beer considers Coors or Canadian anything more than moose piss that you drink at family functions only because your uncle Dave is so cheap he won’t buy everyone real beer.

I am 100 per cent a ‘clomper’ - I’ve travelled extensively and love being on my feet walking 10+ miles a day and exploring. But I’ve also realized how difficult that makes travelling with other people, so my friends and family have adapted to allow for our differences in travel style.

Crombie was my first ‘celebrity’ crush as a little girl with the old Anne movies, and then when then made the (non-canon) First World War sequel I started crushing SO HARD on adult Crombie too.

Ah. Never heard of him. His only contemporary that I’d recognize is probably Corey Hart
