I've got a great table saw too. It's great for ripping strips off things.

Don't forget that they are Raptors. And they won the World Series twice.

You wouldn't have to bang on the door to get the door opened so that you could find an outlet to make the lamp work would you?

Well of the top of my head:

Correct me if im wrong,

In 1976 the American League voted to expand to Toronto. First player aquired was Phil Roof. In 1977 they had thier first spring training game and won 3-1. And won thier first game ever 9-5 over the White Sox. Rico Carty and John Mayberry joined the Jays in 1978. Doug Stieb was the first winning pitcher for the Jays going 11-10 in 1981. In 1983 they had thier first winning season and became somewhat of contenders. The Jays had thier first playoff series aginst the Royals in 1985, losing in 7 games. In 1986 Damaso Garcia got his 1000th hit with the Jays. George Bell was AL MVP in 1987. Stieb threw 3 one-hitters for them in 1988. In 1989 they made it back to the playoffs only to lose to the A's in 5 games in the ALCS. In 1991 they again lost in the ALCS to the Twinkies this time. They made it back to the playoffs in 92' and finnally won the championship over the Braves and then won it again the next year over the Phillies for a repeat. Aquired Roger Clemens in 1997 and he won the Cy Young with them. In 1998 they got the "juiced up" Jose Canseco. Since then they have had some ok seasons and some bad ones but, really havent been a contender.

To tell you the truth, Im not a big Hockey fan. It is a shame that they had to cancel the season though. I do enjoy watching playoff hockey. But ill watch the highlights on ESPN during the season to kinda stay up on it. But dont really know that much about the sport. I know that they had to cancel the season because the Players Union and Owners(I think) couldnt come to agreements on the salary cap, or somthing like that. Didnt the owners want the cap to be at 42.5M and the PU wanted it at like 47M?

I like football, but I don't have a Favorite Team. I just pick a good game on Sunday, invite the guys over and have some beer, and a BBQ.

I'm a big fan of college basketball. My favorite team is KU. Have you filled out your bracket yet?

I'm an avid Golfer, I try to play twice a week. I'm a big Tiger Woods fan and Ernie Els.

Twice a week all season or do you go to where the weather is warm enough to play.

At work today it rained for three hours. Then it was sunny. Then it hailed mini golf balls for thirty minutes.

I wonder what will happen tomorrow? Should I build the ark?

Not unless you can afford the insurance.

Twice a week all year. I golf around my hometown a lot when it warm, and I take trips for the sole purpose of golfing. I love going to LA, California for a weekend to golf and various other places.

No. I'll cruise the oceans until I see an insurance agent in a boat and arrange craftily for it to hit mine then sue his insurance company.

Or just stay well away from anything which is why I would be in a boat anyway.

Yah, but if you hit the boat and don't have insurance, although you have made it his fault, they make you get a lawyer to recoup your losses. Insurance=lawyers (liars in the British accent). They might try to cheat you? Stop you from getting all you are entitled to.

What aboout if their Insurance company's got a submarine that it uses to sink people that are trying to sue them?

Post by **kensloft** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 8:40 pm

Absolutely not. And if I did I would pretend that I was talking into a telephone. Up until a few years ago you couldn't use that as a cover. Now that I can use it as an excuse (I'm talking to God on our private line.) I will use it.

koan · Post by **koan** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 8:43 pm

With all the money I saved on not buying insurance every year I could afford a submarine too.
