Ok I'm in a dilemma. I need a place for a month at school, I can either sub-lease a room while a teammate is back home or live in a campus house.
So here are pro and cons for both places.
Campus House:
* Price isn't bad not sure on price yet.
* Cable, internet(despite being restricted), trash, etc.
* Furnished
* HAS A/C
* Can walk to class if I don't want to drive.
* Twin Bed (been sleeping on one all year)
* No alcohol allowed (can still drink at friends place) Probably a good thing.
Off-Campus House:
* $275/mo plus utilities.
* Somewhat furnished. Nothing in my room.
* Queen size bed (have to get sheets and what not)
* NO A/C (Oh the horror)
* Have to drive to class.
* Can have all the alcohol I want
I need to figure out by tomorrow where I'm living. I think the A/C alone will have me pick the campus house.

The no alcohol policy sound bad on paper but given the fact that the average ahole can't hold his liquor for chit its a good thing in the long run. Drink at the bar. Oh and there's still going to be pregame on campus anyway. I mean weed is illegal both on the federal and school level and yet…

Mocking a Canadian for being Canadian is like mocking a Doctor for being a Doctor. It just doesn't make sense.

Question Toronto fukkers. Do any of you have a 407 transponder? How much do you pay for that? Yearly? Cause I have a hard time believing it's only $21.50/year.

Yeah, although I have one friend from Philly who rips on Canadian hockey teams to piss me off, not knowing I don't even cheer for one.

My two favorite hockey players of all time played for the NJ Devils, the team I still (sadly) cheer for. One was born in Kitchener and the other in Montreal.

You could be an enforcer like in the movie Goon (hilarious movie btw)
My two favorite players were Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur when I was younger.
Though, Montreal will always be the team I root for.

They are both great players but I also really like Brendan Gallageher and David Desharnais since they leave it all on the ice. They are small players but have a big impact.

Yeah ok. For that alone I love you. When I played street hockey it was always hard to find someone willing to be the goalie and when we had one we all chimed in to equip him a bit. I had a habs helmet replica and legs pad, another guy had shoulder and jersey, another had gloves etc.

Wish I could've played on ice with the local team but my family couldn't afford that chit. When they finally could, I was way too old and far behind plus my interest kind of switched elsewhere to compensate. So I became a soccer player lol… What an awful sport.

Bro that reminds me I don't think I've seen a single kid play road hockey outside in years. Kind of sad that kids are going to grow up and their childhood memories are going to be video games instead of all the mischief and **** that we grew up with.

We also had a lot of girls standing on the side cheering for us and doing their cheerleading thing it was so much fun. We taught the younger kids how to rollerblade properly too.

Today with all the hovering parenting and chit kids are afraid to cross the fuking street… I threw a football at my lil brother last year. He missed it and got it on his leg and started crying in the middle of the park at 9yo… My mind was shattered. At his age, I already french kissed a girl, built 3-4 tree houses, knees were always scratched and I made my own BMX bike with old rusty pieces so I could join my friends who each had theirs. Not sure if he's gonna make it.

Lol and the car thing, we'd play on this crescent nearby because the street would get a car too often. So you'd be good for 20 minutes or whatever then some innocent dude would come and everyone looks at him all pissed off while we move the nets and **** lol so he can get by.
