Probably not as good as the movie LJ watched, but here's Sesame Street playing Slayer:

I know I'm getting old when "new" Slayer is from 17 years ago.

Anyone have any experience with Bidstart?  It's supposedly the web-selling web-site for collectibles.  Looks like a lot of stamps, coins and comics so far, but they had some D&D stuff.  There were no listing fees but eBay-like final value fees.

I was busy with NTRPG Con this week and was unable to watch any television, but I'll go out on a limb here and say that Jay Leno (and all other late night talk show hosts) had their comedy material this week all written for them by a dude named "Weiner".... :lol:

The Charlie Sheen of the demo's. Too much Tiger Blood I'd say. At least he isn't resigning. He will be good for some laughs till 2012.

I couldn't resist when I saw this at a local festival and picked up a print for my game room...

Well it is the 7th game of the Stanley Cup final tonight with Vancouver and Boston facing off.  Should be the most watch hockey game in history (the 6th game was already the most watched game so it logically follows that this game will attract more viewers)

A funny thing is if Vancouver losses then the local police are bracing for a 100,000 person riot.

Consequently if Vancouver wins they also expect a 100,000 man riot.  8O

Only 14 arrested after the Dallas Mavs won the NBA championship, none for vandalism (drunk and disorderly). A far cry from the sports riots elsewhere (LA, Detroit, etc).  I think most Dallas fans were still in shock.  Should be interesting to see what happens at the parade tomorrow downtown.

Good for sports when teams like the Mavs and Canucks win, since neither had (or has) a ring.  Even the Bruins winning (no ring since 1972) will be welcome.  It's fun to root against sports dynasties, but it rapidly becomes annoying when they are in the mix every year.  I think the tide is turning, Game Six of the NBA championship this year was the 4th most watched NBA game in history, and tonights Game 7 NHL game should break all records there also.

I dont get it.  I realize that Canucks fans are upset and I understand the frustration (I'm a Cubs fan for chrissakes) but this just defies logic for me.  Even when I used to get cranky drunk during past Super Bowls or World Series I dont recall ever setting someones car on fire or breaking a few windows because my team lost.  Bitching, whining, and drinking more were usually the next option followed by sex with a semi-attractive woman and/or sleep.

I sometimes wonder why cities such as Buffalo, Cleveland, and Seattle havent been burned to the ground by unruly sports fans by now.  :wink:

Hey everyone,

On a different topic, does anyone have any details on the Postal Strike going on in Canada?

I'm trying to work with Mars on getting some items from Canada to Hong Kong. I think this has been affected by it. :(

Best regards,
Ronald

Yesterdays news indicates that back-to-work legislation is being pushed through the house of commons.

Generally most Canadians don't see Canada Post being on strike as having a downside since they mostly deliver bills and junk mail.  :lol:
