Big boo to the Jersey fans in the arena for not cheering louder for Gigeure  There was no doubt.  I probably would have suggested he get it even had they not made the final.  Geez people, show some class.  Even the cruddy CBC announcers are downplaying it.  Yeah, they applauded.  About 2500 of them.

And the world is back on the proper axis.  Jersey wins, as they should.  Prior to the announcement if all is really well, then Gigeure gets the Conn Smythe and Brodeur gets the Vezina.

3-0, the right guy got the shutout.  Wonder where Matt#1 is

tick...tick...tick...

Ah, a list.  Handy, that is.  

Totally doable for that few figures said the rookie vintage guy.  

If no one beats me to replying, there really is no post padding allowed here.  There was briefly a word association thread, but it was closed.  I'd say that's a pretty strong message from the outset, n'est pa?

Either way, welcome aboard dear Lady.

adding via edit:  The policy, IMO, is fair, given that it has been thus from the outset, more or less, as opposed to changing rules halfway through.  The mods here (while not implying anything about anywhere else) are open, communicative and up front in their responses.  You will know where you stand and why they suggest that it is so.  

Count me amongst the anal retentives

I'm big on spelling, largely because it plays such a role in communication for the work I do.  It is also a tool I use to judge a person's competency.  I try not to do it on the internet, but every summer I am responsible for hiring student employees and the schlock that comes in passing as a resume is abhorrent. You may not like that is a judgemental thing, but in the absence of anything else it is indeed what is used.  I wouldn't exclude anyone from an interview, but I damn well would ask why their resume is littered with spelling errors.  It tends to reflect laziness (as it pertains to your resume - if you want a job, make an effort).  

That said, the 'net is a bit of a different beast.  I will use 'cuz' instead of 'because' and other slang of that sort.  I will cringe but I've stopped bothering to make comments as I typically get the it's not a frigging english {sic} classrom comment back.  And to those that would make that comment, they are correct.  But people judge all the time.  I use it as a tool.  If you can't be bothered to try and make an effort to spell something correctly will you make the effort to pack the figures I'm buying/trading with you properly?  Where does your level of effort start and end and how can I be sure.  The point of English class is to teach you something to use in life and get further ahead.  There are no grades once school is done, but there are perks if you do things well.  Spelling is just one.  

That said, I'm not about to crap on anyone, it's not worth the effort.  I'm trying to be a reformed spelling Nazi

These are great.  I have four sets, Falcon, X-wing, Wampa, Forest.  So far steered away from the non-OT sets, though that may change.  

I can tell you these are great for kids.  They're blocky enough to handle and quite tough as well, so good design. They look great and are seemingly appealing.  My daughter is three and finds these more appealing than the 3 3/4 figs I've let her have.  She really likes the Wampa set and especially the tauntaun.  She also seems to like the X-wing, which nicely holds the Luke with the saber turned (though it doesn't close perfectly).  

I hope to see more, but again, would like to see Canadian distribution.  I managed to trade for all of these, but the Falcon cost me a pretty penny due to size for shipping.
