Highlight of the event was the vintage team pics on display in the arena. People have been playing the hockeys for a little while.

 

[Blitty]

PK's here!

That criminal is trying to snatch your babay!

Beware!

Curtis Joseph.

I appreciate him doing his part for Team Canada but he never struck me as being over-burdened with personality.

 

[reno cool]

wait, what is this thing?

 

[Matty]

The CBC has been touring smalltown Canada, broadcasting from all sorts of hockey hotbeds. There are usually 3 consecutive NHL games involving a Canadian team that day.

Owen Sound is one such hotbed.

Grassroots, simple-folk type of initiative by the public broadcaster.

 

[Matty]

And great exposure for Corporate Canada.

 

[reno cool]

but wot the fok are they doing? Set up some pictures and people come out and look?

 

[Matty]

It's like a fair, with games and contests and shit.

The old photo I posted is unrelated, it was inside the arena adjacent to the fair.

You people have to be explained every little thing.

 

[Cami]

grats on the new gear!

 

[Matty]

Buncha headless players for people to stand behind and have their photo taken. Classy stuff like that.

 

[Mudcat]

You people have to be explained every little thing.

 

[Cami]

The word that eludes everyone here is festival.

It's not like anything. It IS a festival.

I mean common.

 

[Matty]

It's more than that though. The CBC and Sportsnet produce the national hockey broadcast from a different shit town every week.

Wait, I'm not sure the CBC is involved at all. I get confused 'cause Ron McLean used to be at CBC.

I'm too sophisticated for this shit.

[Cami]

Well we'd love to join you guys next time out.

 

[Matty]

Nigga please. You probably get homesick just having to go to the second closest liquor store.

 

[Matty]

That was a pretty solid joke, I expect some e-laughs.
