Oh there are so many and really it's all about your taste, which is subjective. I wasn't saying you were wrong at all, so I hope you didn't take it that way. I haven't been to Oregon, but I've heard great things about their beer scene. Did you get to try any Great Notion out there?

And I wish I knew about Blood Brothers when I was there last. I'll check it out next time.

i didn't take it that way. I don't think we tried Great Notion ...we didn't do their brewpub. We actually only did Portland proper for 2 days ..we were their on a boys trip to climb Mt. Hood and do some general debauchery so most of our time was in the interior and then back up along the coast.

I remember Yacchats ....really good. Sunriver, Rogue, ...in Portland Wayfinder, and a few others.

What if Marner says: " 8x10.25 - but with he Captaincy" ?

Sounds like the perfect captain to me!

"Tell us Mitch, how did you become the Leafs captain?"

Hard pass. Our captain wants to be here for more than dollars.

If Marner cares more about his ego and being equal with Matthews contract than he does the Leafs then I don't care if he sits.
I'm pretty sure the Zurich Lions won't be paying him $11 M

Didn't the Leafs trade for the corpse of David Clarkson specifically to sign Marner? I thought that was the whole point of the trade.

But but but all the leaf fans tell me that he’s going to sign by training camp?

Seen her a few times but yes - basing my opinion on a few "first impressions".
Not believing in that?

You've seen her a few times where, exactly?

I love hitting brewpubs while travelling, but to be honest, my impressions are based upon the food and atmosphere, as well as the beer.

And, of course, how easy it is to steal a pint glass with their logo on it.

We traded for Clarkson because Babcock was tired of seeing Andersen's water bottle getting stolen.

tell him to go (frank) himself. that's a coaches decision.

he's a child and not even captain of his own negotiations. and he expects to be a leader on the team???

hyman would be a better choice.

Totally. Sitting at a roadside brewpub overlooking the Pacific with 5 good friends a couple of days after climbing a mountain ....a half drank can of Molson Ex with a cigarette butt in it would taste good.

Damnit ...wasn't ballsy enough to steal the glass. But why the (frank) didn't I even think to buy the glasses in all the those pubs.

I agree he isnt the right choice for captain - i was just saying it could be part of his discussion. Could help with his sponsorship deals as well.

WOWZERS

He had six goals and a career-high 31 points in 59 games this past season. He added one assist in six playoff games.

Gardiner should have held out for 9 million!

Laine getting 11-12 million?

Crazy time folks...

Wouldn't this just be a lot easier for you to admit that you don't know her from a franking hole in the wall, you're upset that Marner hasn't signed, and that you took a cheap shot at Marner's mother out of frustration?

Seems to me it would be a lot faster and easier than continuing with your douche act.

April/May to Aug he can live where he wants though.
It's definitely tough, but more people go live in Dubai to work for way way less money.

Shots fired.

Well in the unlikely event she is trailer trash, her son can put his signature on a (frank)ing paper and move her to the penthouse.

Everyone wins.

It really depends on the cover though.

I know the VHS covers for Ordinary Peepholes, Shaving Ryan's Privates, and Driving Miss Daisy all gave me a good indication of what the whole story was.

It's become a bit of a sickness with me (usually ask, they will let you sneak one out). But I'm running out of cupboards at home.

We stayed in a bed and breakfast in Maine this summer. Entire family had the lobster dinner, and the local brew in a beautiful pint glass. I didn't "obtain it" - and now every time I look at the picture from the dinner, it bugs the poop out of me.
