What an insane day I had.
I was going to my job (I work for the mafia in case you don't know, I supply paperclips to them. I guess you could say I'm involved in VERY organized crime), and I have to go through this commercial area. Anyways I see this advertisement on the window "Television $100". So I go in and ask the shop keep about it and he tells me that the problem is, it's stuck on full volume. So I'm standing there and I thought
I can't turn that down.

An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The Mexican replied, “only a little while.â€
The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs.
The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?â€
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, and stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.â€
The American scoffed. “I have an MBA from Harvard, and can help you,†he said. “You should spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, and eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middle-man, you could sell directly to the processor, eventually opening up your own cannery. You could control the product, processing, and distribution,†he said. “Of course, you would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles, and eventually to New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.â€
The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?â€
To which the American replied, “Oh, 15 to 20 years or so.â€
“But what then?†asked the Mexican.
The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time was right, you would announce an IPO, and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions!â€
“Millions – then what?â€
The American said, “Then you could retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you could sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, and stroll to the village in the evenings whee you could sip wine and play guitar with your amigos.â€

JMc, that was awesome. When I was a kid playing hockey I always thought it would be sweet to have a helmet cam. Wouldn't be nearly exciting as that though, I would have fallen off the hill 10 seconds in

I'm curious to know that if the phrases "Do you even watch the games?" or "You've clearly never played hockey before" were banned, would the Leafs board cease to exist?
Who else made the move from SN...?
Good day everyone, I was just wondering who else grew tired of the nonsense at the other place and moved over here..? I have seen a few names I recognize and this is going to take a bit to get used to a new forum.
go Leafs go

I did as well. I think I kept this name. I forget.
But I do remember at least half of the threads being about trading Kaberle last time I was on
