caroljane Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Guys I have noticed MSK hasn't been around for hours and maybe we could set up a Canadian Corner like the important intellectuals here have, only with Bonhomme and Moosehead and Road to Avonlea posters.Of course secretly it would be a cell of the Sacred Igloo.

Still miss Hockey Night in Canada from the old days...The whole of Toronto sure misses it! A whole city of total hockey masochists. HNC with the original 6 was a cultural experience so glorious, and I didn't even realize I was having it, it was just regular Saturday night with Dad's wry comments and being allowed to stay up till the game was over.Another great gotta make a living movie: Used Cars (1980) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroljane Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 A side effect of HNC was having my adolescent crushes not on McCartney or Jagger but on Harper (no relation) or Laperriere, guys with few teeth, smashed noses and 2-word vocabularies, one French, one English, both obscene.My eventual husband was a soccer fanatic with an attractively broken nose and one tooth missing from a championship game.Hasten to add however, he talked a glorious game, to the end of his life.

Carolup past my bedtime againA loving study in sadism and filth.Sounds like the call centre I worked in!You were most likely paid to work in that call center. The film offers no value and has no redeeming qualities. The skill with which it is made simply magnifies its depravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
