GWNC. Is there a third kind of Canadian guy, who doesn't play hockey or ski? Like maybe a guy who was in the chess club, or the AV department?

On second thought, maybe give it a shot. If he was in fact a canadian who was tricked or trapped into moving into NJ, that might be passable.

And a Canadian would never, ever, ever, root for the Devils. Unless they happened to be on or related to someone on that team.

Well, my dear you may be soon. The Devils (who despite a boring but successful brand of hockey and many trips to the playoffs) typically played to 1/2 full arenas; now that they have moved to a nice building in a distant and shithole neighborhood will be lucky to keep 1/2 of that 1/2 (except when they are playing the Rangers). This might make them an excellent candidate for relocation to Kamaloop or something.

They call those Pakistanis.

OK, now I want to change my avatar too.

I am taking suggestions.

FYI, I did play in a peewee hockey league. And I was PRESIDENT of the AV Club.

All Canadian guys either play hockey or ski. It's in the Constitution.

So did Hank and Atticus, for different reasons.

Plus I look darn cute in regular golf shoes. According to one Mr. Man.

There's more than one Mr. Man?

Newark is a lot better than it used to be. At least the new arena is accessible via publlic transportation.

Is there a Montreal/Quebec exception? Because I know at least one guy from Montreal who doesn't ski or watch hockey. He's also half-American, if that's relevant.

So I'm at Round Table the other day and there was a huge baby shower in the "private" but not-so-private banquet room. There were also many many children present at this shower for some odd reason. Anyway, one of the kids was misbehaving. Running the pop machine without a cup and running the ice onto the floor. For kicks. Mom came out and said, "Keanu, stop that and get back in there!"

And so, under my breath, but loud enough to hear I said, "oh. my. god."

Wouldn't "whoa" have been more appropriate?

If you can find an actual photo of albino testicles, I think you'll have something to work with.

Or this.

At some point, I had a My Little Pony avatar and somebody complained that it was too creepy.
