Team photo of the 1967 Maple Leafs Stanley Cup winners - just to prove that it really DID happen in the past

Well folks, last night (October 11) another example of how the first game of HNIC us really just a warmup act for the "real" games from the West. Montreal predicatably blows out Toronto in front of the usual half-empty Platinum seats which fill up at the ten-minute mark once the drinks are done in o...

Typical media screwup...

CADORS says occurence was at 1440Z, newspaper reporter says 1420PDT. It happened at 1440Z, and there was a NOTAM to the effect that there was no fuel available issued that morning.

Any takers, FSS or wx observers, what "chaotic sky" means in the context of an SA? I was outside at the time, and while it was dark and looking like imminent rain, no obvious CB-type activity.

yet another ps... the traveller in question has back issues, maybe reason enough not to travel "Y" or the charter equivalent, but he did pay for and receive a certain requested seat. Upon boarding, the seat was occupied by a large intimidating-looking male. The FA's were not willing to ask this man ...

no I am NOT one of "those" lumberjacks as in the kind they are singing about, but there is an appropiate geographical/historical/vocational link to the Monty Python sketch that is appropos.

Thanks guys. By the way some folks missed the "smile" and "razz" re the dinosaur comment in the op.

a few ps's... At issue is not dollars for the family member, but a truthful explabation. The flight crew says"grooming", the rep says "fog". I myself would take the truth over dollars any day if they wanted my business again. The first bus sent wouldn't start. The second apparently had the appearanc...

Anyone have a guess as to what type of a/c is involved in the song? Inquiring minds need to know.
For those under 30, Pink Floyd was/is a dinosaur band that was/is wellknown to this day

Writing on behalf of a family member who recently travelled with Sunwing and is getting stonewalled as far as having their questions addressed... Dates, flight numbers etc are not pertinent for now. The flight was Winnipeg - Veradero - Santa Clara about a month ago. Passengers were advised that upon...

The only thing more stupid than this thread is the clowns at Global Vancouver that thought this so-called "story" was worthy of airing at all. Worse still, it was the first item at 1800 last night. Among the gems in the story: ancient archival footage of Jazz BAe 146, and a Google Earth animation of...

No idea what the limit is. I just cut-n-pasted a clip art from a website and it worked.

Not geeky enough to know, but I happen to like the picture.

Having just completed a term of nearly six years' worth of commuting, I would like to extend a big "Thanks" to all of the crews, both AC and ACJ who have graciously offered the JS so this wayward traveller could get his tired carcass home to his family. As we all know, commuting is not for everyone,...

This is how the story SHOULD have read... Time to stop wasteful, dangerous TIFF! choice sound-bites from the REAL story: "these foreigners come up here in their fancy bizjets, spewing poisons into our pristine Toronto air from their diesel-burning engines with open headers..." "how do I tell my kid,...

Master Daugherty has clearly demonstrated one of the "life skills" lacking in his resume. Namely, DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA!

Is anyone else punishing their brain trying this puzzle? I am attempting a cryptic crossword for the first time, and am about 85% done. Despite the tone and content of many posts on this site, there ARE some smart folks that visit here. (smart enough to avoid trying a cryptic crossword?) If anyone e...
