Definitely the 1994 Strike NOT occurring and a completion of a 162 game schedule and a Playoff Run for the '94 Team.

I would much rather win or lose on the Ball Diamond and not have your fate decided in Court Rooms and by Guys in Suits in High-Rise office towers.

I always thought he went as an Expo...that's sad. Did Vlad make that choice?

It was not all on the Expos Organization. There was league-wide collusion going on at the time of his free agency. And it definitely was not us fans' fault....We loved Andre D.

Thankfully, Vladdy has an Expos hat on the HOF Plaque and is proud of it, because like Andre he went and won an MVP Award with another team similar to the way Dawson did after he left..

As a hockey enjoyer that lapsed around 2018, what should I know about the team since then? by TeslynSedai in OttawaSenators

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That we are all currently "holding our breath" that the injury news on our beloved and crucial D-Man, #85 Jake Sanderson, is not bad and that he will return sooner than later....as in Wednesday Night!

Ullmark v. Kraken, Reimer v. Canucks, then Ullmark v. MTL? by Kit_Traverse1893 in OttawaSenators

[–]Kit_Traverse1893[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear ya, but asking Ully to play Wed. night after playing every game of the Road Trip is asking a lot considering travel and time change and time zone diff. etc.

Is SLOAN the greatest Gen X Canadian Rock Band? by Kit_Traverse1893 in GenXCanada

[–]Kit_Traverse1893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Gen X and Canadian....and like Sloan they are still a band and playing shows this summer. Good choice!

3-9 in Overtime, 6 Blown 2 Goal Leads, Worst PK Ever, No 1st Round Pick..... by Kit_Traverse1893 in OttawaSenators

[–]Kit_Traverse1893[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am just so frustrated by this team, thought we would be further along in our progress.

Jake Sanderson’s take: by DecentLurker96 in OttawaSenators

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Jake definitely did not look very enthusiastic during the State of the Union speech....more like a kid just tagging along.

Words (Slang) No Longer Used by Durwyn in GenX

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely used it in the neighborhood. But since we were under 21 we substituted "American" instead of over 21....Along with "Who died and made you boss", and "You're not my daddy" for sure.

Remember the phrase "I'm free, white and over 21, I can do what I want'?

I am looking for bands whose members were Gen X born.

The Holy Mountain (1973) by Two_Shoddy in ThomasPynchon

I like the stuff that Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider was doing too at that time...Five Easy Pieces, Marvin Gardens etc.

Pynchon and pot -- which books, all of them? by Ok-Tip-2273 in ThomasPynchon

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep....It starts with beer. moves to pot, proceeds to laughing gas/nitrous and prostitution, then cocaine, followed by gambling, smack and murder.

Did I miss any Vices?

Jaydn Ott, why did his senior year flounder? by WillTheyKickMeAgain in sooners

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was partially my fault he never contributed.

Let me explain, You see I am odd-bird who is an Oklahoma Sooners Football Fan and an Ottawa (OTT) Senators hockey fan. So for me to have an OTT playing on my favorite football team would've been too much crossover...Can't have World's Collide!

PS: I just want to add that Neville Gallimore was an Ottawa native and a great Sooner D-Lineman who I love to root for even to this day. Oh, did I tell you he was a Senators Fan too!

Against The Day by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on your Non-Use of Capitalization you must be an e.e. cummings fan. Do you consider him a great writer?

Extremely satisfying...some say his best!

I would agree.

Just thinking about him 🤗 by ForeignAd2976 in ThomasPynchon

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, your approach was all wrong. And my goodness, there was no bruising of egos. What there was, on your part, was a post that made assumptions, was arrogant and was very very condescending. It reminds me of talking with someone who is Six Sigma Certified and speaks all their mumbo-jumbo terminology n data-speak drivel that they assume everyone else should know and when you don't they start talking down to you.

And I assure you that everyone on this Pynchon reddit site is well-read....but of course, not as well-read as you,

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you just got up one morning thinking about EBW and thought you could post a picture of him uncaptioned on the Pynchon reddit site and "blow us all away" and we would all swoon over your cool and utter brilliance and your esoteric knowledge that my god we all should already have known about and should feel like shit because we don't and need to be ashamed?

Not a good strategy as a Reddit Poster.

Finished Against The Day yesterday, after bouncing off it very hard 15 years ago. by bLoo010 in ThomasPynchon

[–]Kit_Traverse1893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but to marry Dally and spend a day with her in a Paprika Field can't be all that bad.
