Who's the biggest baddest monster on the block?

Towbin dodge....http://www.aetv.com/kingofcars/....perhaps being an ex car salesman puts this show a little higher on my list than yours but it's fun to watch and remember what it was like.

Must comment on the Oilers. The Whyte ave thing is just drunken fools in large crowds acting like bigger fools. I think it was psych 101 that talked about the larger the crowd the more likely to get out of control.

However, my real point is the Oilers speak. I couldn't help but hear lots and lots of DJ banter on the radio today about the hurt #1 goalie and which of his backups was going to start. then, I read this article at lunch. Talk about a defeated team. Read this quote from the coach
...But as long as we can deliver the goods and take the ball from here, then I think he'll be fine with it."
that's from the coach. "as long as...." dead team.
Then this one...again from the coach
said head coach Craig MacTavish...."It'd be a pretty nice story." - more defeated talk. not, When we win this it'll be a great story. There was an article which I now can't find with a bunch of quotes from players same thing lots of if we wins, not when we wins. The talk has given away the outcome. They don't think they can. Done like dinner.

Banks suck....ATB closes it's commerical window at 4pm. I'm a small biz guy, can't make it before 4 (although I showed up at 4:05 and got told curtly that they were closed) so I went to the regular window. She counts the money deposits it. Fine. Then I say I need a hundred bucks in quarters. Then I find out that the friggin regular tellers have no rolls of change. IT'S A BANK FOR FUCKS SAKE. Then she goes and checks with the same curt cow that told me that they were closed at the commercial window. "No, they don't want to reopen the cage to give you change." Then I was informed today when I finally got my quarters (by showing up at 3:45 to a prepping to close bag of a commercial teller) that I have to fill out a sheet if I want change. I can't just hand her a hundred and get quarters in return. Why, do banks go out of their way to make things difficult?

So now I've had bad customer service from Scotia Bank, Royal Bank, and now ATB. I have no faith that any other bank will be any different. the best bank I deal with is ING, just because they have no physical locations to annoy me. Although they can't transfer money on weekends, which just sorta ticked me off but that's to be expected I suppose. Not many banks do anything useful on weekends.

Things I think I think
- I went something like 22 games with only 2 PIM. Tonight, I had 4 alone- like 24 on the season. The first one I gave the guy a shot as he was gonna bump me. One of those little guys who jump at the big guy hitters. He went down like a ton of bricks. I think it was a dive. Ok, fair enough. A penalty for me. The second one is the most retarded thing I've done in ball hockey. I tripped over my own size 14 feet, fell into a small guy FACE FIRST absolutely hammering him into the boards. He falls on top of me, gives me a big time shot with his stick. I get a penalty. Now, me, I laugh and have a good time. I get up and chat with the ref laughing "but I fell over my own feet that time". He says good naturedly "you're a goon,, get to the box". I tell ya though despite the PIM, I think I played a darn good game tonight.
- off to chicago shortly. Woo hoo
- Farve seems like he's back for another season. He's fun to watch so good news.
- Our dollar store...it's not a nickel and dime operation. Pure first class. Pure dollar all the way.
- Holidays time shortly. I could sit around wade in a pool, and sit on my butt for a week and that'd be fantastic.
- Cars! I still love em, watch for a decent VW for myself. Cheap cheap as is my way.
- Torn to buy some fitness equipment for home vs VW.
- Cool. Say what you will about nike's labour pratices but they are very good at getting unique technology to the market. http://www.bausch.com/us/vision/products/softcontacts/nikemaxsight_faq.jsp
- I'm beat. later.
