Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 6, 2002 I'm pretty sure the Biodome is in Montreal. It was the Velodrome from the '76 Olympics, if I'm not mistaken. It might be close to the Olympic Stadium, if my memory serves me correctly. That would make sense because on that Canadian cruise we also went to Montreal. The only cruise I ever went on, and probably the only one I ever will go on. And as for the HHHaters sig pic, it's still got nothing on The Greatest WCW Champion, David Arquette. Man, I wish I'd have kept that in my sig, but I passed it up for The Greatest Movie Ever, Chopping Mall, instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Isn't there a sequence in Dawn of the Dead where they're in a shopping mall? I was thinking about being alone in an open mall just yesterday. If I'm ever incredibly wealthy, I'm just going to buy a mall and everything in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Just don't buy the mall here. It sucks ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 6, 2002 The one in Edmonton is big, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted July 6, 2002 The cost of The Mall of America would be prohibitive, even to a wealthy playboy such as myself. I'm thinking some old mid-western mall that's barely turning a profit anyway. As long as they have a Kay-Bee toy store, I'm game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 6, 2002 EFDDT, this cruise you went on, how far up the St. Lawerence did you go? It was ten years ago, I think I was 8, so I probably am missing a few places and/or have the stops all out of order, and I honestly don't know where the St. Lawrence begins and ends, but it started along the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. in Massachussetts and Maine, then went to Quebec and Nova Scotia and then I think it ended in Montreal. Here's what I can remember from each place: Massachussetts - Cold and gray. Easily the most depressing place I've ever been, and I live in one of the gloomiest, foggiest suburbs in California, if not the entire U.S., so that's saying something. Maine - Lobster Ice Cream... gross... Quebec - We went to a Burger King and the cup had this French comic on it. Also, the cashier switched from French to English mid-sentence once she realized we were American tourists. Nova Scotia - Kinda like a Canadian Massachussetts, in there's mostly pioneer/colonial stuff there and it's fairly gloomy. Not as depressing as Massachussetts though. Montreal - The BIODOME~! Seriously, this was so freakin' cool, especially as a kid. Also, I bought a Spider-Man comic there, and it cost a little bit more, as did the Weekly World News'. I think we also passed through (but didn't stop in) New York harbor to start the cruise, and I think it ended in Montreal and we flew to Minneapolis from there and then flew home. We were with my grandparents for their 50th wedding anniversary and with my aunt & uncle for their 25th wedding anniversary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 6, 2002 The one in Edmonton is big, too. Yea, I think the one in Edmonton is the biggest in the world, and The Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is the second biggest and biggest in the U.S. And yea, Kinetic, Dawn of the Dead is set in a shopping mall. I actually heard they were going to remake that, although I have no idea why. I can't possibly see it being any better than it already is, and that's pretty good. I'd say surprisingly good given the setting, but I'd probably anger some hardcore horror fan, who'd diss my love of Full Moon movies and tell me I wouldn't know a good movie if it bit me in the... OW! Stupid Citizen Kane! What a terrible film! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 6, 2002 OK, yea, I had it right, except Nova Scotia (all this time I'd thought it was a city, not an island, so I don't know which exact city on it I went to) was before Quebec... I wasn't sure because for some reason I had always thought Montreal was much more inland than that. Thanks for the map hook-up... with only one error, I guess my memory's not that bad after all when I need it to be. Now if I could only have memory like that when I actually NEED it, for like a test or something... Have you ever been to either of those places TC? What did you think of them?

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted July 6, 2002 I care about Darryl. I just think it's odd that he'd start a thread announcing his intention to make 1000 in a really short period of time and then post once in the following day. I now consider Darryl to be a prophet who led me down the holy path to 1000, but I don't understand why he did it. He works in mysterious ways, that Darryl.

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 6, 2002 I go to Montreal all the time. I have family there, but I don't think I've ever been to the Biodome. I do go to Olympic Stadium a lot, though, mostly for Expos games, but I did go the Grey Cup last year, and that was awesome. I've never been to Nova Scotia, though, as Quebec and Ontario are the only 2 provinces I have ever actually been in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Who cares about Darryl? I want to see how close Evenflow came to where I live. Well, you be the judge of that, I don't know exactly where in Canada you're at, as I must've missed the post where you said that. What's the grey cup?

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Well, you be the judge of that, I don't know exactly where in Canada you're at, as I must've missed the post where you said that. I live about 2 hours from Montreal. If you look on the map, you can see a place called Prescott, I live about 15 min. east of there. What's the grey cup? You will capitalize that! (j/k) The Grey Cup is the championship game of the Canadian Football League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted July 6, 2002 how many teams in the CFL are named the Rough Riders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 6, 2002 1. There used to be the Rough Riders (Ottawa) and the Roughriders (Saskatchewan), but in '96, the team from Ottawa folded. They have a new team now, but they are called the Renegades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Canadian football is weird. Either way, it's a well known fact that the CFL is one of many refuges for guys who aren't good enough for the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Different rules, Evenflow. Plus, the Canadian game is WAY better than the American one, and the intellectual capacity of the average American wouldn't be able to grasp the intricacies of the CFL game.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted July 6, 2002 If you have too many teams, it dilutes everything. It's like baseball, where you've got teams like the Brewers and the Rockies that most people don't even realize exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
