AIPAC apologizes for Trump, crowd reaction

So, it wasn't a mental hospital after all? I thought you told us you had some of your mental, "out-of-body", precognition experiences during that time. Did you enter the mental hospital later in life?

 

That took very little time at all.

 

Actually, I have, around a half a dozen times, in fact.

Does that make you a liar?

 

Interestingly, there is one thread showing up today that did not show yesterday. Note - ONE. Aside from a "horse-hockey", that is it.

 

So much for your search skills. Here's what I found:

I smell a fight... (laughs) ...I thought I'd respond too though, since I collected autographs on trading cards for a time. Hockey-wise I have a lot, but no big names. Basketball I have a Michael Jordan... no, the OTHER Michael Jordan ...(laughs) ...some baseball, but mostly football. And I'd say the most valuable cards (cash-value-wise) would be a Shaquille O'neil and ...(prepares to run)... a Jeff Gordon ...(runs like his life depended on it)

When I was a kid, one of the few T.V. shows I looked forward to was M.A.S.H. Harry Morgan, as Colonel Sherman T. Potter, was a great addition to the cast in the 4th season of the show... though that wasn't his first appearance on M.A.S.H. He had previously played an air-headed character (Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele) in the previous season. He replaced the popular McLean Stevenson, who left the show because he wanted to be the star instead of being part of an ensemble.

One of my favorite scenes is when Klinger attempts to persuade the newly appointed Colonel that he needs a Section 8. Morgan's character relies "Horse hockey!" and sets Klinger straight on where the line is under his command. I've been tempted to use that line here a few times.

Hockey is big in my area... Houghton is the site of the first professional team. Hell, I lost most of the sight in an eye from hockey lol

I'm not huge into hockey, or our area's role in it, so I had to look it up. I found this in a wiki:

The first professional hockey league in the world was the International Professional Hockey league. It was founded in 1904 by a dentist in Houghton, Michigan, Jack Gibson. While this league had folded by 1907, it was the starting of professional hockey.
They say the team was called the Canadian Soo.

After a bit more digging I found another wiki with this:

By 1902, the Western Pennsylvania Hockey League was the first to openly employ professionals. The league joined with teams in Michigan and Ontario to form the first fully professional International Professional Hockey League (IPHL), in 1904.
So I dug a bit more and found this lol...

1899 Portage Lakes, the first known PL hockey team
The team apparently had four doctors as team members, one being Jack Gibson (of the IPHL). I should add that the site I got this from (listed third below) states Houghton as being "The Birthplace of Organized Professional Ice Hockey!"... and not the first team... so I may have mispoke. In my defense, I'm finding all the declarations of who did what first a bit confusing lol

On that site it mentions "The Amphidrome (the "Drome")" being built by James R. Dee, the "father of American hockey". I'm pretty sure it's still there, but we call it "The Dee Stadium (The Dee)" now. Been there many times. I'm pretty sure it now houses a lot of the local hockey history, a hockey museum, in addition to hockey games, skating, and concerts.

I found this interesting, not only since I graduated from the school, but for the anti-racism thing:
1904 The Hancock High School team won the local Amphidrome Cup and were the Champions of Michigan. This 1904 photograph is thought to be the first documented evidence of a black high school hockey player.
Anyway, it looks like I misspoke. Houghton is apparently the birthplace of organized professional ice hockey. Whatever lol

It was a stick. 2nd grade gym. I walked to the Calumet hospital afterwards and eventually got sent downstate, where I spent months, then to another hospital up here in Hancock for another month or so. Brutal lol ...When I returned to school the next year (I passed the 2nd grade at home with supervision by a teacher) some kids were furious with me 'cause hockey had been cancelled in gym for that year. I told them to go *poof* themselves lol... I was never allowed in gym classes or stuff like that, though I occasionally snuck in anyway (How many people can say that? ) Not long after my return to school, masks were required and hockey was fine again so I didn't take too much grief over it for long, though I did learn how to use words like *poof* pretty well. And, like you and your brother's experiences, it's not such a bad thing.

Anyway, if you're into hockey some of those links might interest you.

lol, yeah - I'm the youngest of seven, with three brothers... so I can relate lol

Kids playing hockey on every other street is a given up here too, though I never played myself. I shoveled snow or worked paper routes, then built huge snow ramps and piles... then tunneled through them. Some of those tunnels/caves were massive and multi-roomed, multi-level complexes. Snow-ball wars were always fun. When my kid was younger I built him some pretty massive ones too. He even cooked marshmellows or roasted hotdogs or something with his mom in one, after she built a fire in it. I've built some that were roughly two-stories high, so we'd slide all day (after I was done shoveling, an almost daily, multi-houred job some years) and in later years we'd snowboard down the ramp. Some of those ramps, after months of dumping snow using 'em, were strong enough to hold the weight of a car lol.

I visit my brothers from time to time. Two of 'em I know I can take... the other is about my size but gettin' old so I think I have the edge on him now lol (throws gloves off hands to the ground skates over to brother): "Let's do this!"

Girls playing hockey gives new meaning to the word "slap-shot"... (imagines girl's hockey game, as two opposing players get into it and begin slapping each other) .... (outloud): ....that's right, look into each other's eyes ...now kissssss.... ohhhh yeah... slap her again...

...What were you talking about again?

That's half a dozen links, and does not count the two posts I already have here in this thread. In total, I wrote or posted the word "hockey" 22 times (by my count, sue me if I'm wrong).

So then....where's your malfunction?

 

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but it seems to me that RLM said you hadn't mentioned hockey "on this forum" ("this forum" being POLITICS, of course). How many of those links you provided were on this forum? Just curious...

 

None are in politics and 4 are the same thread. And, BTW, it has nothing to do with my search ability. You type the word "hockey" in the search bar and clueless in the name. Results follow as Peter has it set up.

 

Look at the backpedaling.

 

So you are admitting that you haven't used the work "hockey" on this forum?

 

I couldn't find it either. He's lying.

Hey, Clueless, why are you lying? And why do you lie so much?

 

In what way, little one?

And be honest.

 

Don't make me get boojie on your ass.

 

Is that something sexual you learned from your Dr. Doom doll?

 

No, I read it in one of Hillary's illegal e-mails.

 

Ohhh, so it is sexual...

...your Dr. Doom doll must be jealous.

 

My introduction to Hockey was on a frozen farm pond in 1966. We all knew each other but it did get a tiny bit violent. Hockey Puck is a polite way to say the F word.
