Steve Mackay


>Sent my first try in to Lee Valley. Cant wait. Good excuse to finally order the rosewood scratch awl I've allways wanted. Also their new "small" sliding bevel square. HATE my machinist's square with that long leg on it. Toss the leg and just use the indicator "plate" to set up the square. WHO-WHA ! Hope I don't have to drool with the Dog to awfully long ! Now . . . what design to carve in the awl handle . . . hmmmmmm .

A place where it doesn't belong :(

Denis Chenard, up in the arctic watershed basin


>Yup, too bad, the 'Canes were the only stumbling block between the Habs and the Cup. Even the 'Canes coach said that the Habs were the toughest team they faced...

>Re-reading myself, the above should be taken tongue-in-cheek... The Hurricanes fully deserve the Cup, they've earned it...

Disappointed Habs fan

Wrong!!!!

Gerry D.


>The Blackhawks have actually managed to win the cup in '34, '38, and '61. There were also a number of years when the 'hawks did not take the cup, but managed to put a competitive team on the ice.

RANT ON

The Cubs are another story. As long as they play at Wrigley, the World's Greatest Beer Garden, and continue to sell-out games (because it's the World's Greatest Beer Garden), Cubs fan's are doomed to a miserable, masochistic existence. It is the baseball equivalent of battered wife's syndrome. Even an abused animal retains enough common sense to run away. Not so with the poor, pathetic Cubbies fans.

RANT OFF

Now if we can only find some way to move Wrigley Field to the Southside.

True in some ways...

>Gerry, I sympathize with you and all Cubs fans. A 100 year rebuilding process is not acceptable. In Toronto there is a similar situation with the Maple Leafs. 1967 was the last time they won Lord Stanley's hardware yet Leaf-Nation continues to sell out every game, every year. Giving up your season tickets? No problem because there are 10's of thousands of people on the waiting list to snatch 'em up.

As for the World's Greatest Beer Garden...on this you are wrong. Oktoberfest in Munich has long been established with that title. In North America, the 3 biggest consumers of beer (going back approx. 15 years now) were Oktoberfest in Kitchener/Waterloo Ontario (a single week) ranks #1. Yup, more beer consumed than anywhere else over a full year. Skydome during its glory years was number 2 and the University of Guelph is #3. Sorry, Chicago, you're still rebuilding.

Kindest regards,
