Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Met any other SW forum members?

No one.....
But then again I'm an anti-social bastard and tend to go out of my way to avoid real human interaction...
Once a friend gave me a T-shirt that read "Please don't talk to me... I'm pretending you don't exist"
I have issues... lets leave it at that.

Here is me sporting my "Playoffs 2004" facial hair.... Immediately shaved off after the Sens disappointing first round loss to the "Blue Team"
Oh the agony....
Nicholas is praying for a victory, and I was holding Haleigh upsidedown like that when Fisher scored in game 6 so I made her stay like that until the end of game 7. Too bad it didn't work out... her face has almost returned to its normal color.

OK, here is my $0.02... If you want to change it great.. change is good. From my experience, when a message board that I have been using for quite a while undergoes a major change even if it is for the better, I seem to drift away.
I don't know why, but I do. Wierd??
Take for example www.snowtroopers.ca A Canadian SW Collectors site. The were using an EZBoard etup which sucked, but worked OK. They changed to the same system as here, but it was never the same for me.. I posted a few times Canadian related stuff, but never went back.
It wouldn't be the board software, as I was going here at the time, and was used to it. The dynamics of the whole scene just changed when that happened.
I guess I am saying improve, but stick to your roots.
Anyway... I'm done. Don't know if there is anything useful in there, please feel free to ignore it.

Nope it was over at Yojoe...
Here is what I was talking about if anyone is interested.....
http://www.wellandcanal.ca/salties/m/milfalcon/falcon.htm
The reason I was serching is a co-worker was telling me a story she thought I might find funny. It seems her boyfriend is working on some sort of Canadian Customs project that transmits inbound ship information to customs before it arrives in a port. The US already has a similar system, in place and this one will be linked to it.
I guess they were testing message send / recieve, and to do this they send fake messages, but are supposed to erase them within a specific time. I guess they sent a message from Capt. Luke Skywalker of the Millenium Flacon to Harbour Master Darth Vader... and forgot to erase it in time.
Apparantly caused quite a problem with the US Customs... before someone realized the mistake. I wanted to show her the picture for her boyfriend... probably cused the Capt. to have a very strange day.
LOL... I didn't both to explain that Luke Skywalker wasn't the Capt. of the Falcon though... a waste of time.

Old people can be....... a wealth of knowledge, wonderful to be around, and a source of inspiration.
People can be mean, rude, nasty, old or not.
Basically what Morgbug said...
Here are two examples:
Saturday afternoon, I am the local McD's. Took the kids there while waiting for Nadine to get her hair done. Place is packed, and I finally find a seat, buts its only a table for two. I walk over and notice a man sitting at a table for 4 all by himself.
I start to sit the kids down, but realize this isn't going to work, and I nicely ask if it would be OK for us to trade tables so I can sit with my kids.
"No... I was here first, tough luck for you"
"I understand sir, but since you are all alone and I have these two little kids to take care of, it would be a great help if we could trade"
"No" quite smugly he says.
Another time and place I would have been dragging this man out of his chair by the neck, but I have worked out a lot of anger issues since then...
So I proceeded to help my kids the best I could until someone else came up and offtered the table they were leaving.
Now, this man was "older" he smelled, and looked like he wore the same clothes everyday. I guess I knew in my heart when I first saw him he wouldn't move, but reminded myself not to be close minded and judge others by their appearance... didn't work this time.
Another story... I spent a great deal of time with a lady helping her with some technical issues (I work support for a wireless company) she was qite elderly and for some reasons her son set her up with wireless internet services. These can be very complex to troubleshoot, and looking in her file she had numerous calls for help, but at the beginning most of these her son would call in. I spent some time helping her, got it all sorted out, she thanked me and asked how she could call me back if there was trouble again. I gave her my first name, and tech ID, with some trepidation as I really can't be her personal helper each time she can't figure out how to open an e-mail...
A few weeks later I get a package addressed to Scott ID 4069 care of the company I work for. When I open it up there was a gift certificate for a local restaurant, and a nice letter from her. The letter basically thanked me for all the help, and she was sorry to be a bother. It went on to say that she usually asked her son for help but he recently was killed in a motorcycle crash. She said talking to me reminded her of him.
I keep the letter at my desk as a reminder that sometimes there is a another story you don't know about.

I will give credit where due... The Leafs deserved to win tonight. Ottawa sucked...
I can't believe we came out that crappy in Game 7. Its like to those two soft goals totally deflated the team. I wonder who the goat is going to be Lalime... or Martin.

I guess I got my answer today... Senators fired Martin, Jackson (Assistant) and Phil Myre (Goalie) coaches....
Man, I wonder what players they will dump in the off season...
The playoffs are over for me now.... goodbye.
