Most awesome, thanks!

Morgbug, I feel your pain with the loss of two sporting venues that are in the annals of North American sporting history, the Chicago Stadium and the original Comiskey Park. In 1994, the Chicago Stadium which we also called the Old Barn, because it was truly designed to look like a really big barn closed its doors. The Chicago Stadium opened its doors in 1929 as the home for the Blackhawks and would go onto be the home of the NBA's Bulls. It would host NHL, NFL, NBA, Soccer, Boxing, and Wrestling World champiionship events in its 65 year history and would have some extremely memorable non-sporting events roll thru such as the political conventions, Elvis, rodeos, Ringling Bros. circus and so on.

As an 8 year old kid I had the chance to goto a Bulls game in 1986 (thanx to some free tix from my dad's boss) following the return from injury of the greatest athlete of all time Michael Jordan. While an exciting moment for me, the one thing I wanted to do was see the Blackhawks live. I didn't get the chance to do that until April of 1994 when I would go to the 3rd to last regular season home game for the Blackhawks as they would defeat their rival St. Louis Blues. Sitting in a cramped corner of the Stadium, seeing my first hockey game was a thrilling moment for me and a sobering one for my dad who took me to the game. In the 60's and 70's when guys like Hull, Mikita, Hall, and Esposito played for the Hawks, he and my grandfather had season tickets at center ice, and only now in it's dying days could he take me to a game.

We had a blast that night, as I was all decked out in my Hawks road jersey for #27 Jeremy Roenick and Hawks ballcap and I remember running all around the Stadium trying to look at every nook and cranny, looking for the infamous rats, trying to peek into the lockerroom and of course taking a leak in the troughs in the bathroom (something that still exists at Wrigley Field). Then the national anthem started, and if you've ever seen the 1991 All-Star game, you know that the national anthem at the Chicago Stadium was an event unto itself and the goose bumps formed down my arms. Sadly, I would find out later that I bore witness to the last grand affair of the anthem as singer Wayne Messmer was shot in the throat later that night following the game. Wayne would never get a chance to sing the anthem again at the old Stadium or for the Blackhawks, though he does sing for the AHL's Wolves (a team he has ownership in) and does so as great as he did a decade ago. The game was of course exciting in it's own right, the Hawks beat the Blues and the raucous crowd had much to cheer about.

Being at the Chicago Stadium for that game in 94 is a fond memory I will carry with me to my grave. I still occassionally wear a t-shirt I bought that night commemorating the "Remember The Roar" campaign that honored the Stadium. The shirt is all worn down and probably is a size too small for me, but it's still nice to wear it and think back. One thing to be thankful for the NHL's lockout this year is that the newest sports station added to our cable lineup which would normally air the Hawks road games (they still will not show home games on TV, Bill Wirtz must die before that can happen), has been showing classic Hawks games from the early 90's every Thursday night. Tonight they aired game 4 of the 1992 Campbell Conference Semi-Finals where the Hawks defeated the vile Detroit Red Wings 1-0 to sweep the Wings out of the playoffs, a home game which was aired due to a failed pay per view experiment. That would be the year the Hawks made it to the Stanley Cup finals only to lose to JJ's Penguins, it would also mark the 3rd time in 4 seasons that the Hawks would reach the Conference finals. They would go onto do it 2 more times in the next 3 seasons for a whopping 5 out of 7 Conf final appearances. Then they would go on to have only 2 playoff appearances in the next 9 seasons. It's great to be able to relive those memories from the Old Barn just as if it was yesterday.....

Maybe your dog is just screwing with you, getting you to think something is wrong with it so you can pay more attention to her or go nuts yourself over it.

Really though, is it possible there are pipes or wiring under that area she refuses to by? Perhaps something there is making a sound that she can hear but you may not necessarily be able to.

It depends, as part of fulfilling my wishes and personal needs, do I get the ability to determine who lives and who dies? Well I guess that's more for being omnipotent rather than being involved in a global conspiracy, but still I'd like to have that option.

I'm finally caught up with the OTC (the figures I wanted from it) and thus caught up on all basic figures until the Prequel wave hits.  I found General Lando and Madine at a Target early this week, then Thursday night I read on scum that the walmart by my house had that wave as of 5 minutes to closing time. So after work friday morning, I stopped by and sure enough there they were and I scored the AT-ST Han to round out the OTC. Now I just need to find the elusive C-3PO to round out the VOTC. Anyone know when the Prequel Senate/Padme wave is coming out?
