Question for twickster on the Toronto Maple Leafs

I approve of this message. :smiley:

Oh, and fuck Bettman.

I can see why Leaffan might get concerned about anything that even remotely resembles stalking.

You see, it’s one thing if you’re a member of a persecuted minority group that has millions, or even thousands of members. But it’s quite a different matter when there’s only four of you left (and two have yet to reach their teens).:wink:

ETA: My excuse? A Torontonian most of my life, I, too, was damaged during the hell of Harold Ballard’s reign.

Because I always chime in when I disagree, I want also chime in when I agree. Great modding, twicks.

Just wanted to point out that hockey is always a relevant topic. :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought the “which I am about to inform my fellow moderators of” was a bit smarmy. Hint: You should probably be doing that with official decisions most of the time and so it probably goes without saying, is my understanding.

But otherwise, yeah. Credit Twickster with an open-net goal.

“OK. but what’s that big gray animal with tusks that keeps following us around?”

“That’s irrelevant!”

Most of the time there’s no need to tell the other mods about warnings. Harassment (which is how the OP’s behavior looked) would be an exception and a situation where it’s important to tell the other mods - because it might not be so obvious if it’s spread out across several forums over the course of a few months.

You need to stop trying to make jokes. You’re no good at it.

Yeah, I don’t think I can pull off the usual trendy humor that cobbles together references to Unix, Lord of the Rings and Japanese pornography. I guess it’s my cross to bear…

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re just as unfunny as all those.

I know, but I’m eager to learn from my betters! So show me how it’s done - hit me with the funny! :cool:

I’ll just leave this saucer of milk here. Play nice! :slight_smile:

Change your name to SensFan and quit being dumm! FFS…:mad:

</joke>

Fail!

Sorry Leaffan, I never got the nickname either. Then again, until a few days ago I thought you were in Ireland so I’m not surprised :slight_smile:

I lived in Northern Ireland for 3 years as a kid. Might have been mentioned at some point. I’m originally from Scotland.

Consider myself Canadian. Except if Scotland beats Canada in Curling. They have little chance beating Canada in hockey.

So now I can really confuse myself. I’m still trying to get my head around a sports team calling themselfs the “Leafs” or whatever.

However, I don’t want Twickster chasing me so I had better not say anything further.

The maple leaf has long been a national symbol of Canada, even before the current Canadian flag that was adopted in 1965.

Naming a team after a national symbol isn’t really very odd, is it?

The grammatical error is purposeful.
