it was an unfortunate diving/wipeout impact with the ground incident during my softball game last saturday. i didn't think it was broken and played the next half inning in the field. however, after my hand swoll up and made it very difficult to remove my glove i figured something might be up...

Thanks to Gratzi and Gamax for hooking me up with my Jets Selanne today!

[zoomer]

congrats on the nice fig!

watching Fever Pitch atm

go bosox!

[gratzi]

Yep, it sure is a nice looking fig in the Jets packaging. But with my blue Khabibulin and ever growing addiction to hockey cards I had to let it go.

[tru25]

any of you looking for Spawn Reborn 3, i just put some out last night/this morning.

[GAMAX1001]

Hi Gratzi,

I have your card with me today.

Hi Astrodave,

Thanks for dropping in yesterday, sorry I couldn't talk, you came at a busy time

[GAMAX1001]

Man, the Canadian Hockey teams are going to be awesome this year. Oilers will probably be the most improved. Canucks and Flames will be awesome in the West. Ottawa can be a power house in the East. Toronto will still suck, hehehehhehe. Montreal hasn't done too much, but they have there core players

[GAMAX1001]

Hi Gratzi,

Thanks for picking up your card today.

[AstroDave]

No worries at all Gary thanks again for helping out!

Shakes looking good so far! You have soooo much more patience than me!

[GAMAX1001]

Hi 6Five,

Thanks for the figure today

[GAMAX1001]

Nice job so far ShakesO. I tried to do a custom Kings Blake and failed miserably. I ended up throwing the figure in the garbage

[gratzi]

Thanks to Dave and Gary for the 3 way trade this week.

[gratzi]

Come guys where are all the people that wanted in the hockey pool? Looks like we have 9 people and there was something like 16 that wanted in.

[Morgbug]

I can round it out for #10 if you like. I'm already in two NFL pools, one MLB pool and one other NHL pool. Bound to be in an NBA pool as well (defending champ) but hell, what's one more. I need it to be on yahoo though. Oh yeah, a golf pool as well.

[ShakesO]

gratzi - you got me in the pool right?


thanks for the support guys (with kipper) - hope to tackle the lines later tonight - but probably won't get in there til tomorrow :)

[Morgbug]

welcome back Vic

how was your vacation

did you find any toys there :D ?

[vicnsand]

Still on it for a few more days. I've just been going around town and to neighbouring towns with my family.

Too many TRUs with the kids, but no chase. I keep thinking there'll be an Esposito chase hanging around. ;) :D

[goOILERSgo]

gratzi: what was the league ID and Password again? I'm definitely still interested in joining.

off to play NCAA 06, thanks to Crashz...anyone here have the full rosters on a memory card? Astrodave? Peaceshark?...

[AstroDave]

My rosters are on the way ordered of Ebay!

Sent out about 6 PM's about the hockey pool. Still lots of room left, 11 out of 20 teams have signed up.

[Crashz]

are we actually going to sit and do the draft or is everyone preranking

[gratzi]

hockey? I set a live draft so either try be there or pre rank

[6five]

[zoomer]

all set up


will probably have to pre-rank tho

thanks Gratzi. what was the deal with the 'wager'?

[AstroDave]

Does anyone have an extra Tomlinson 2? I need an opener!

[gratzi]

Not sure if people want to pony up a prize or not. Talk was everyone put in like 10 bucks to buy the winner a jersey, but I don't know if everyone is up for that or not.

[zoomer]

how about if we all put up cash and the winner (me :) )
gets Astrodave's signed Hrudey jersey ? :D

I'm thinking when I win I'd like to get a box of hockey cards

[CTO Inc]

does anyone need 12 inch blue gretzkys? before i return them to walmart? let me know...you have until tomorrow to let me know. $35 bucks each...i have a few of them.

[ShakesO]

gotta get busy on my prerank - and sort out what i want for a live draft. (it's kinda fun having the prerank - you don't know for sure what you'll get)

i'm 100% down for putting into a pot for the hockey pool :) not sure if we'll have to negotiate that outside the forums - just so mark doesn't come down on us.

At least $10. Anything less would be uncivilized. :D

[madcracker]

10 bucks is no problem at all. I'd be game with almost any figure, but more than $20 each makes the pool more about money than the fun of a hockey pool.

[ShakesO]

i think $10 is a solid number. gets you a decent prize without making the league all about money like cracker said :) sometimes being king of hill is cool - and king of the hill with a new jersey is pretty pimp too.

[espin]

Anyone know where I could get a cheap Xbox? Used is fine...

[zoomer]

400 buys a nice jersey :)

but i'm fine going with whatever the majority decides

[gratzi]

$10 sounds good to me. maybe everyone that is in for the 10 bucks can just post a message on the pool message thingy there so there is no Spawn troubles.

[Crashz]

Anyone know where I could get a cheap Xbox? Used is fine...

I'll let u know. My friend may be getting rid of his.

[Crashz]

I'm in for the pool $.

[bambam73]

$$$$$$$ :D $$$$$$$

[AstroDave]

Damn Espin Ive been looking for a cheap Xbox for awhile!

Also guys maybe looking to move my Bruins Bourque? Stiller are ya still interested?

[Crashz]

I'm interested.

[CTO Inc]

i'm in for $$ for the hockey pool

[gratzi]

I'm gonna keep a running list on the pool message board so you guys can either post here or there if you are ni for prize. How are you doing it for football, collect at the start or at the end?

[gratzi]

And if you guys have any suggestions for adding or changing any of the point system I have for the pool, send me a PM. Or do you think it's good as is?

[AstroDave]

Dave the King can you still change the number of roster spots for football? 15 leaves teams a little short!

[davetheking75]

no i cant, im in for hockey$$

Anyone need a heritage two pack?

Jets blue Khabibulin and Hitz Pronger package deal - $24

[Morgbug]

BTW, been ranking players and there don't seem to be any rookies/draft picks available in the lists? That's a little odd, I'd say.

[Trapper7]

anyone buying/selling/trade loose figures? got some and need some......

[Trapper7]

SteelSpawn hammered me with some more red rep if anyone would like to help me out, only guy on the board (besides Toight of course) that I don't like.

[Trapper7]

wth, make it 3 in a row, zoomer/espin can't have all the fun

[zoomer]

i'd trade you my loose ray allen bucks for virtually any nhl fig loose
-or certain nba figs loose
lmk

[zoomer]

Astrodave - would you take a black clone pilot for that red fig you're holding for me :? :P

[zoomer]

can't let Trapper7 have all the fun :D

....closing in on 1600 ......


edit . (for the sake of chris :p - and not to break the 3 posts in 5 minutes rule :) )

well Trapper7 - looks like my 'pity rep' helped


but seriously, we've traded a couple times (and for some nice figs :) )
plus i felt sorry for you :eek: :D

[tru25]

nice deal on fuji dvd(+or-)r's - spool of 100 for 34.99 at futureshop


dude i think they were lower than that a week ago. i believe 19.99-29.99

[Trapper7]

thanks Lorne, got Bucks Allen already.....

[zoomer]

for 100? hmmm - saved my receipt - i rarely go in there

if the discs are bunk (and probably even if they arent) they might hear from me


what has 9 arms and sucks? (hint - this is an OLD one)

[zoomer]

thanks Lorne, got Bucks Allen already.....


hmmm - maybe i should customize it ? any ray allen fans around ?

[tru25]

fujifilm dont suck. i use them all the time. i dont know why but with my burner it seems to only like the jap branded cd's.

for the riddle, i would like to say somebody's mom. but i dont anyone's mom and that has 9 arms. LOL! :D

[tru25]

hmmm - maybe i should customize it ? any ray allen fans around ?

how good are your customized figs? im intereseted. how much would you sell it for?

[zoomer]

Def Leppard !! :D :D



#1600

[zoomer]

hmmmm

well, guess i'll find out first , then let you know :D

what's a good jersey to do for him?

or i could attempt a custom of a certain #23 (haha or 45 :D)

[AstroDave]

Max Repped ya Trapper!

[zoomer]

what might be wicked smawt is a custom Mookie Blaylock (sp?)

[tru25]

i'd give him a throwback sonics, but a good jordan is in session

[Trapper7]

thanks Astro!

[zoomer]

i'm pretty sure there's already a sonics allen in the same pose - can you throw up a pick of the throwback ?

[tru25]

http://www.onlinesports.com/images/mn-son68h19.jpg

see if this works. but im down in the hole right now in the debt, so dont do this custom for me.

[tru25]

but obviously a #34 rather #19

[CTO Inc]

trapper7 i've got a bunch of loose stuff that i'm willing to get rid of. are you ready to finish off our deal?

[Morgbug]

Loose Paul Pierce for cheap. Might still have a loose goalie or two around.

[vicnsand]

anyone buying/selling/trade loose figures? got some and need some......

What else do you need? I might be willing to part with some other loose figs.

[Trapper7]

CTO, what do you have? I pm'd you about our trade.

Morg, don't need Pierce and only need 2 loose goalies right now, Luongo and TC Joseph.

Vic, as always, pm me a list...include my Expos this time. :)

[Crashz]

I have carded hockey figs I'd still want to sell off.
Speaking of which, Turco, is your friend still interested in thoise figs?

[CTO Inc]

Walmart story today...i decided that i needed to return some figures to walmart...of course i still had my receipts..i returned 3 - 12 inch blue gretzky's and regular legends 1 gretz oiler, fuhr, cournoyer and mahvolich....got 165 to my credit card and the girl said the legends 1 figures were 2 bucks and the fuhr was 5 ...the 12 inchers were 10 ...suffice of to say i bought the legends figures back for a total of 12.54.....sweet deal. so st.vital has some cheap 12 inch gretzky's if you still want it....what a great deal

[ShakesO]

for the hockey league - can we add GAA or save % or something to the goalie stats? i don't think that wins and shutouts are enough - considering a goalie might have a strong team (ie. colorado last season in my pool) and it wouldn't matter about his own performance because the team was usually good enough to win if he had an off night. another stat or two might balance it out.

and maybe points for penalty minutes? helps make up for the often tarnished +/- "statistical" category.

just my 2 cents.

Polo TRU had a ML Dr Strange if anyone's interested.

I gotta agree with you here Shakes. Having GAA and PIMS would really make the league interesting!

[gratzi]

Yeah I'll add the goalie stats but I don't know how much I like the PIM's thing.

[ShakesO]

i think the PIM just adds that wildcard factor in there... every pool i've ever been in has included the PIMs and i think it just adds some fun (it's always a good time when your guy scores himself a 10 minute major). :D

[espin]

Yeah, PIMs is like a wildcard factor. I mean you could draft Kovalchuk and he could have a 3 goal night, but if you also had Thronton and he had a goal, two assists, 2 mins for cross checking, a 5 min major for fighting, and later a 10 min misconduct....now that's a big night!

[gratzi]

ok you guys twisted my arm

[gratzi]

Doesn't look like you can do GAA or Save% so I added -1 for goals against and +1 for saves. Sound good?

[espin]

ok you guys twisted my arm

Cool, It's always good to have a little bit of luck factor so that the league will have parity. Otherwise the people that end up with the best players after the draft will hang onto them. Or, If someone gets devastated with injuries, they can leverage PIMs into the factor when scouring the FAs to band-aid their team.


Oh, and when I win I'll take a Oilers Blue home jersey with 44 Pronger on the back...:p :D

[davetheking75]

i dont like that your team is rewarded for a penalty, they are called penalties for a reason they are not supposed to be a good thing

[moosefan98]

morgbug how much do u want for the heritage 2-pack?

[bigsexy_j]

back and officially survived 1 week as married

[bambam73]

Doesn't look like you can do GAA or Save% so I added -1 for goals against and +1 for saves. Sound good?
I think a point for a save is "pointless".

I guy like Luongo with 40 shots against and a loss will end up with more pionts then Brodeur that gets a shut out and faces only 15-20 shots..Why should a goalie get a point for stopping a puck shot at him from the other end of the ice?(ie.penalty kill)
Just my opinion. I'd rather give a goalie 5 points for a assist and maybe 20 points for a goal. Something that is rare but does happen.

[gratzi]

Well it can still be changed but I just added it for now to see what people thought. You can't do the GAA or Save%, and your ideas are good but you can add those either.

Where is the best place to buy cases of SP? I want a case of the new Team Canada set due out in October, but am not sure how to go about it. Mctoys has 'em for $140 plus shipping. I've never been to the Mandalay flea market so I don't know those guys' prices. Can you buy cases from them? Are they comparable to mctoys?

[CTO Inc]

Mandalay guy is pretty cheap for cases. i get my cases from him...he gets them from mctoys

[bambam73]

How much?

[ShakesO]

a point per save *is* a bit much... not sure how to adjust that to include some kind of save % thing.. must tinker i suppose.

but i think in the sense that we are likely to draft point getters - it's a little bit more fun when you've got a rough and tumble guy - get that gordie howe hat trick right?

it's all up for debate/vote. more people should weigh in on it.

i was just thinking though - we should have a date for collecting (probably before the draft) so that someone can't scrap out if they pull a bad team or something. not saying that anybody would - but it would negate any potential problems.. just a thought.

[Morgbug]

Be careful with the stats for goalies. We ran it last year with 2 points for a win, one for a tie, 5 for a shutout. Goalies ended up being the biggest point getters. I agree they're important, but not that much. Fortunately we had the league set up so you could only have one goalie in at a time.

Also not a fan of the PIM points, but I'll live by whatever. It's a great stat for guys like Thornton or Bertuzzi (pr1ck) but it can seriously overvalue some idiot like Domi or some other thug.

Want list should you guys actually be checking star wars while you're out there:
green commanders #33
red clone/shock trooper #6
blue guard #23

As for sportspicks, only thing I want/need is an LT chase from the Legends line.

exactly if PIM are gonna be in then goals and assists should be worth more

[gratzi]

What about if PIM's were only worth half a point?

[espin]

Half a point for PIMs, and no points for saves gets my vote...

Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue-green
I can Forksake the dixie dead shake
So we dance the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim

Colonel Tom What's wrong? What's Going On
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said" Hey North you're south shut you big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real."
Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about thoes years

Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud looked a little like me

I had My hand in the river
My feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks
Some time I fell so good I gotta scream
She says Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean
She said, she said I swear to god she said

*** extramarital flings don't count as adulteryWoman heading to court in Vancouver to challenge law By CYBELE SACK

Tuesday, August 30, 2005 Updated at 8:19 AM EDT

From Tuesday's Globe and Mail

Shelly Pickering thinks it is unfair that her husband's extramarital affair with a man doesn't legally count as adultery. So today, she's heading to court in Vancouver to challenge the law.

The 44-year-old Vancouver resident had been married nearly 17 years when, in October of 2004, she discovered her husband was having an affair with a younger man.

She and her husband separated immediately and she filed for divorce two months later, seeking an immediate end to their union.

Canada's Divorce Act allows for a no-fault divorce after a one-year separation, on grounds of marital breakdown.

It also allows for an immediate divorce if there is admitted or proven adultery or cruelty.

Ms. Pickering's ex-husband signed an affidavit on Jan. 5, 2005, acknowledging his adulterous relationship, and did not appear in court in February to contest the divorce.

But Justice Nicole Garson of the B.C. Supreme Court declined to order the immediate divorce, because the definition of adultery in common law does not include homosexual relations.

The judge also told Ms. Pickering that she would hear the case again if a lawyer would argue why the legal definition of adultery should be broadened to include same-sex adultery.

The traditional definition of adultery, which dates back to church-based courts in England, is "penetrative sexual contact between a man and a woman not married to each other and one of whom is married to someone else," notes Ms. Pickering's lawyer, barbara findlay (who spells her name in lower-case letters).

Ms. findlay argues that the definition of adultery is as outdated as the original common-law definition of marriage, which was based on procreation. Times have changed, along with the definition of marriage, and so too should the definition of adultery, she said.

"The grounds for divorce should be interpreted in a way which is consistent with the views of the Supreme Court of Canada about the purpose of marriage," she said, noting that the top court has deemed marriage to be the intimate union of two people, regardless of gender.

Ms. findlay suggests that the definition of adultery be amended to something along the lines of "intimate sexual contact between two people not married to each other and one of whom is married to someone else." She said such a definition is closer to what the public already considers to be adultery.

Ms. Pickering realizes that her divorce may not come any more quickly through this legal challenge than if she had simply waited the requisite one year and obtained a no-fault divorce. But she says she is doing it to help others who find themselves in the position she did.

"It's important to me to take back that bit of control," she said. "I feel like I haven't had any control [during the marriage] . . . I wasn't given the facts. . ."

While the Divorce Act falls under federal jurisdiction, it is administered provincially. The results of the Pickering case could set a precedent not only in British Columbia but in other provinces, Ms. findlay said. "If we win this case, I think it will be followed across the country."

Chris Girouard, a spokesman for the Justice Department, said the department does not know of other similar cases or decisions that have challenged the heterosexual definition of adultery. Judith Bowers, a B.C. lawyer who works for the Justice Department, will be present as an intervenor at today's hearing at the B.C. Supreme Court and will file a brief outlining their position to the court at that time.

Ms. findlay said she will also launch a constitutional challenge based on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, arguing that the definition of adultery discriminates against ***s and *******s by making divorce less accessible to them than to heterosexuals.

For the past two decades, Toronto psychotherapist Caryn Miller has devoted part of her practice to couples with one straight partner and one homosexual or ******* partner.

"The courts really have to catch up to protect the straight spouse in this situation and to legitimize the union of *** and ******* people," she said.

Ms. Miller said that homosexual or ******* infidelity is often labelled as something distinct from adultery by the *** spouse, but the effect can be no less devastating for the heterosexual spouse.

i'm cool with half points on the PIMs.


are there any other goalie stats to use? i just hate it based soley on wins/SOs.

[ShakesO]

ps. Winnipeg Falcons jerseys are on for $59.99 at St. Vital Sport Chek (i assume the other ones as well). picked mine up.

[Morgbug]

i'm cool with half points on the PIMs.

I'd suggest 2 points for a win, 1 for a shut out. In other leagues we've assigned 5 points per assist or goal for goalies, but yahoo doesn't allow that stat.

There's a pile of stats in there for goalies, but they must have been created by Americans. Number of shots and stuff like that aren't necessarily just a goalie stat. I remember when CuJo was averaging about 40 shots a game - crappy Blues D, not great goaltending, though not bad.

[bigsexy_j]

bump

[gratzi]

Goalie stats are:

Game Started, Wins, Losses, Goals Against, Shots Against, Saves and Shutouts. Right now I have it as 2 points for a win and 4 for a shutout, then the -1 for goals against.

[tru25]

just got my Selannes from tilter1000 one reg on avs card and variant #8 jets on avs card =D

[Crashz]

Off to Toronto on a spur of the moment business trip. Cya kids later

[tru25]

[davetheking75]

so what is everyone wanting from NFL legends, i think i will get regs of unitas and LT and hopefully an Aikman chase or reg if i cant find the chase

[tru25]

chase everything, thats what im looking for hopefully if i come across them or deal with you guys hehe

[AstroDave]

I want Aikman, Sanders and Unitas!

[tru25]

I'm always up for variant figures. I love posting pictures of them loose to make the MOMC crowd a little nutty;) I have the following variants loose:

Doombot
Wolverine no mask (don't worry, it's from series VI)
Goliath
red Phoenix
Phasing Ghost Rider (thanks zoomer)
Green Hulk
scowling Bullseye

So missing a few obviously (would still like to get phasing vision, mohawk storm and blonde black widow) but I'm happy with either variant or regulars. I only get one of each figure, either one.

[moosefan98]

I cannot wait for the nepoleoan dynamite figures. they r gonna be the first non sports figures I've ever bought. depending of course if i have money I got a theodore waitin for me thats a little more important!!
