North courting Mrs North, back in the day.

 

"Hold on tight, eh?"

 

 

You know that North is a true Canadian because he's not wearing gloves in the picture.... 

[ashbury]

So...

Si. Gracias. Las Chiapanecas.

She also has a short skirt on! What an era.

Ah, Norm brings back memories: I was at one of the last North Star games. We all had a great time chanting "Norm Sucks."

 

Good times.

I worked for the North Stars that last year, up in the suites.  The coolest part was on game days, or event days, we could go down onto the Met Center ice and play pick-up games at noon time.  It was a gas seeing Bobby Clarke roaming around on occasion, too.  He was generally a cool guy, especially when I told him I'd seen him play for the Flin Flon Bombers one time, way back in the day.

 

The bad part was, well.... Norm.

Did you have your Canadian Tuxedo on while riding snowmobile? 

Van, please, I have more pride than to wear a frickin' Blue Jays hat, c'mon eh?

Like there is anything else to do in the dog days of summer?

RB out for a spin.  Popular with the ladies.

Chief, was this a wind-up model? Figured you probably had the first one.

 

[twinsnorth49]

 

I see the Canadians have finally caught up with 80's fashions. Pretty soon, they may even discover the 486 computer.

486?.........wut?

My favorite part of this, and there are SO MANY options.....

 

The dude looking very sadly out the door, like, "why can't I be in that picture"....

Denada.

I first read that as "Periodic Tables."

Go Twins. Remember those Twins - A's rivalries of the late 80s - early 90s? Geez those were fun regular season games.

God I hated those LaRuss, McGwire, Conseco, Eckersly bastards.

Wow, nice find! I could have looked at that picture the rest of the afternoon and not notice the other dude in the background. 

[USAFChief]

Dunno, North.  You'd have to ask RB.

 

I didn't even know she was a model.

Heh, at the risk of quoting myself, and looking even more like a self centered.....

 

Is that a quote bubble by his head in the background? What does everyone think it says?

More like, 'Ugh, I can't unsee that now. Blargh, and now I'm photographed together with him forever.'

I think this song was playing in his head...

I think he's saying this:

They never went out of style, punk.

Hey ... do you have enough golf buddies in Austin? A friend of mine's husband moved there recently, and he's a good golfer ...

We're always on the lookout for people to add to the golf crew! Feel free to introduce us sometime!

I better not ever have that body....

By the way, these are the game threads I love.... The weirder, the better! Where else can you go on the internet to discuss snowmobiles, Canadian tuxedos, and dad bods? 

[Squirrel]

Just like it more than once and love is transmitted.

Great work. Is that really her face, or the face she wants to see, or the face the cherub is letting her see?
