Amph The Amphitheatre Social Thread

Ah, okay. Yeah, it is a major debating point in Australia, although has become less of one as the current PM is adamently monarchist. But I imagine we will become a republic within 10 years or so.

 

You've been saying that since the 30's. Who cares if the Queen's the head of state? The best thing about having a foreign head of state is:

a. they don't live here; and
b. they have no power.

Can't beat it.

(Looks longingly toward the bar) Anybody got any Kokanee?

 

Yeah, but Australia has been steadily distancing itself from the UK since the 70s. Check out "Gallipoli" and "Breaker Morant" for filmic explorations.

 

Ya but if your under Queen rule you cam be Kinghted.

I can see it now: Sir Malcolm Smith

 

And it's not as though the Canadian army didn't suffer under twit Brit generals, too; 'cause they did. It's a question of the devil you know vs. the devil you know even better.

 

Yeah. I suppose being in the middle of Asia gives us the impression that we are more isolated from "the west" and would be better on our own.

 

*wanders in*

*has a brief moment of pure panic in thinking that this is the Senate*

 

No need to panic, Rogue. Just the Empire striking back.

Anybody got any Molson's?

 

Yes Pennsylvania is striking back. We rule and flyers too. ( well maybe not the flyers) I don't have Molson this week but I do have my favorite canadian beer Moosehead.

 

Where in Canada do you live Zaz?

 

The most he has said is B.C. trust me I tried getting him to tell but he wouldn't. So I gave up.

I suggest you give up before you even try.

So...

 

I live in Beautiful British Columbia (yes, by God, it actually says that on the provincial licence plates).

Anybody have any Loch Lomond? (Captain's Haddock's Finest)

And the Stanley Cup playoffs on television...

 

It dose indeed Zaz. They will change the for 2010 so we have that ugly logo on our plates for years...

Playoffs I really dont give a hoot about the East. I usally watch the highlites so much easier. But Wen the final roll around I'll be sure to have it going in the backround. Go Edmonton!

Zaz, how badly do you think Nonis is kicking himself? He was one point from being in Edmontons shoes. Mind you the Canucks couldn't do much if they were in the playoffs. We would be looking at San Jose in the Finals.

And did you hear they are changing the logo or at least trying too.

 

Well, here I am. I can mostly be found around the threads with odd titles and limited readership due to being ecstatic about classical music. I'm looking for a job at the moment, am a college student and I hate broccoli.

 

lol Silly Rogue

 

LOL, not quite the same as the Senate. Here we're all predestined to be insane.

 

Yeah, when you enter there your already insane.

 

I actually thought that it was the Senate regulars who were the insane ones.

 

Ah, the idealism of it all. how cute.

 

they do. crazy canucks

it's justified, though *dreamy eyes* so much landscape being offered there, you wouldn't guess.

oh, a martini, please!

 

Can't get beer or Irish whiskey around here, so I'm reduced to asking for Absolut.

Malcolm, the Canucks were going nowhere, and if they had gotten Rolofson, they still would have gone nowhere. They needed to: a. get rid of Crawford; b. get rid of Bertuzzi; c. get rid of most of their Europeans; d. get rid of their scouts; and e. get a goalie.

I'm pulling for Edmonton, and of the two remaining Eastern teams, Buffalo. I bet Bettman is not happy that three small markets are left.

 

DarthAttorney apparently got banned once for insulting an entire forum, but I'm going to risk it. I can't survive the Senate for more than about five minutes every year and a half.

Maniacs!

 

The only time I tried to start a thread there--long time ago--I got into a dust-up with a mod. I decided I wasn't up to their standards.

Which forum did DarthAttorney insult?

 

The easiest one. JCC.

He said the IQ dropped after we opened the Amp, if I recall. He claimed he was banned for that.
