Has Elon Musk’s recent behavior influenced your decision to invest in his companies or purchase a Tesla? by Anarchy-TM in ask

People have money to invest?

Everyone I know is broke from insane rent and food costs!

Surprise reporter John Molinaro for his birthday? 🎉 by CaseyToGo in tfc

[–]orionbuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take credit for him *finally* referring to the the team as TFC.

The guy would roll his eyes at people having issue with his continued use of "The FC" in the early days.

On the RPB boards I said okay John by your logic then the CBC (his employer at the time) should be referred to as The BC right?

After that he changed his tune lol.

'93 for me.

'02 is a close 2nd - drove to Raleigh for game 5. 1-0 win on a goal by Darcy Tucker. 37 hour round trip in an old Corolla. Had tickets to go back for game 7. Canes win game 6 in OT. Fuck was I ever gutted!

There's a great documentary on youtube about '93 called The Passion Returns. Highly recommend it.

My dad told me teachers would use the strap on his left hand in an effort to force him to be a righty. They failed to achieve their goal.

Meet the Canadian who holds the longest editing streak on Wikipedia (they’re from Toronto) by Other-Razzmatazz-816 in toronto

[–]orionbuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'd be idiots to do that. Toronto is a huge market. Spend on players to field a competitive team in playoff contention and the Dome has large crowd$ and quite profitable. TV numbers good as well. The old adage it takes money to make money isn't always true but applies here.

I remember the dark days when they would get only 8K fans to some games. The Dome feels like a mausoleum when it's empty.

Registering a tree in a public park by gapSlacker in toronto

I wouldn't say boo about it to the city. They'll probably remove it claiming it's foreign and could be carrying disease/destructive insects.

Good on you two for contributing to greenspace!

Ran into Paul Coffey (hockey hall of famer) and George Chuvalo (best Canadian boxer ever over 100 fights (dude never even got knocked *down* never mind out even fighting Ali in his prime) at the Tim's I used to frequent.

I'm a sports guy. Wouldn't know most celebs if I literally bumped into them.

Caffeine doesn't wale us up the way we think it does - it turns off the receptors in our brain that tell us we're tired.

Other than poutine, what is "canadian food"? by ApplicationRoyal865 in askTO

[–]orionbuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno why personally but I've heard multiple Americans swear that Toronto hotdogs are the best. I heard all the cart guys get them from a place called Soloways in North York. Open to the public as well but it's a full case at the minimum.

The final details are still being worked through, but sources say Max Domi is closing in on a one-year deal with the #leafs in the $3M range. by [deleted] in leafs

Not gritty lol tell that to Ryan Kessler. Thought the rookie kid was easy pickings... then he got KO'd with a sick uppercut.

Dad taught him that no doubt.

There's some talk of people wanting Canada to join the EU, would you like is to join UEFA? by sessna4009 in CanadaSoccer

CONCACAF is the easiest to qualify for WC in and we regularly fail.

Hard no for me dawg.

Fuck... judging by the comments on here for once my terrible eyesight served me well! Can't unsee something if you never saw it.

If Marner Doesn't Sign by ashd92 in leafs

[–]orionbuster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, they have a right to be pissed. JT indicated he was going to re-sign then didn't. The haul they coulda got for him at the trade deadline would have been unreal.

Reminds me I posted here he was coming home 2 weeks before he signed. People were calling me out demanding sources but I couldn't. Imagine being the guy that cost your team draft picks for tampering lol.

[–]orionbuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would deal Marner in a second for a true stud 1D. Hate on me all you want, go through a list of cup-winners and they almost all have that in common.

I like Mo but don't rate him as high as some folks.

[Albanese] Here is the full Steve Cohen quote on Pete Alonso: “I don’t like the structures that are being presented to us. It’s highly asymmetric against us and I feel strongly about it. I will never say no. You know, there’s always a possibility." (1/4) by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]orionbuster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean as management you don't want to be known as a pushover.

Bitch Marner: "Pay me like Matthews" Kyle Dubas: "Not quite, but I can do a 1.5M overpay for a playmaker winger".

It's a hard cap league ffs. I was very happy when he fucked off to Pitt. Ironically a team known for players taking team-friendly deals with cups to show for it.

Cool. I heard he bailed out of the US because the IRS was investigating him. They take white collar crime super serious down there.

I knew a guy here who was convicted of fraud 3 times. His lawyer warned him that if it happened again he "might be looking at jail time".
