OUAA Football -- CIAU Minor league - Part 2

Laurier Golden Hawks 24 Saskatchewan Huskies 23

Hoisted by his own petard is dear honshui. His quotes follow.

"The OUAA is the weakest conference in the CIS."

"It's time that the guys who rank these teams through the season just leave the OUAA teams out of the top 10."

"They are not going to win anything and clearly an undefeated record in Ontario is an accomplishment only matched by the federal liberal party."

I'm not saying, I'm just saying


Here is the infamous Nazi eagle. A hateful symbol to be sure. It is a striking, and unmistakable symbol. And one to be avoided.

Right beside it is the symbol of the Alliance of Free Blogs.

I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying.

The Real America - The Irate Nation - Insane Nation More Like It

This diatribe is really worth reading. Mr. Shelley longs for the America of the 50s, when only employed, middle-class, white guys had any chance of advancement. To bad Mr. Shelley can't seem to keep the spittle off his keyboard when he conflates Muslims with "left-wing, fascist, commie,socialist, nazi scum". Nazis are commies? Socialists are fascist? What a fucktard. To be fair, almost all of his links come from freerepublic.com. And that speaks volumes. And it accounts for the spittle.

Xbox 360 Has Nothing On Atari 2600 - Forbes.com

Here is a columnist for Forbes who is clearly trying to win the favour of our beloved honshui, and incur the wrath of gaming-guru Tom Swift.

"The best gaming platform of all time is undoubtedly the Atari 2600. What other system had or will have as wide a variety of games that were genre-less (Human Cannonball and Lost Luggage, for example)? What other system will have the permanence of Atari 2600 games, which are available on every modern platform in the form of anthologies and as mobile games?

"The best gaming platform of all time is undoubtedly the Atari 2600.

What other system will have the permanence of Atari 2600 games, which are available on every modern platform in the form of anthologies and as mobile games?

The Atari 2600 controllers--the joystick and the paddle--each only had one button. That spoke to the elegant simplicity of gaming. A game that requires a controller with one analog and one digital direction stick and ten buttons is certainly more complex, but it's not more fun to play. The Apple Computer Macintosh mouse had only one button for 20 years, yet, it was always easier to use than a PC mouse. Even the new multi-button Mighty Mouse bends to the use of one button.

In fact, the most enduring videogame in the American collective consciousness, Pac-Man, doesn't even require buttons. And will anybody ever record a song, 'Ridge Racer 6 Fever'? "



Well, I have Atari Classics for both Xbox and PS2 and I play them...occaisionally...for about a minute. I thought it would be fun, but the old 2600 games suck. So did "Pac Man Fever".

I guess Mr. Lin has never played Katamari Damacy as it doesn't require use of the buttons. And it is miles more fun than Pac Man.

Well. Honshui? Tom Swift? Are you going to wade in?

Which Way is Ontario Going to Go?

According to the calgary herald, the upcoming election will be largely contested and campaigned in Ontario since Ontario gets to elect the federal government. So the question of the day is whether Ontarians are comfortable with corrupt, inept, dithering leadership that is "socially safe" or whether they are willing to take a chance on the second coming of Joe Clark.

Me, in Alberta, I am voting for the green party...
