God damnit Canucks. Why do you always suck so bad in the playoffs.

man good cottage cheese is brilliant

Just because these people seem healthy, doesn't mean they aren't spreading germs. The symptoms could be taking awhile to develop.


I hate myself for sounding like a lysol commercial.

Anyone that uses antibacterial anything except when dressing a wound is le dumb.

I wouldn't go that far. Usually germophobes have a reason. Anyone who believes lysol's scare tactics should probably be shot.

Hey Botolf and As_Saffah, your being bad Canadians! We don`t watch sports, we play them! Unless you watch while on a treadmill or other peice of gym epuipment, then your pretty hardcore,

I'm a scrawny Canadian, I don't play hockey unless it's on a road!

Anyone that uses antibacterial anything except when dressing a wound is le dumb.

I would actually expand this to most medical situations in general, particularly in areas dealing with highly infections diseases, or around people with weak/suppressed immune systems.

However I personally am thankful that it is used elsewhere, such as in food preparation.


I do agree however that often around the home that it is overused.

Just be glad you're not a Sharks fan. This is the first time they've gone like.... anywhere that I can recall. Oddly, I'll be rooting for whoever gets out of the East this year.

Good afternoon, folks.

I am feeling a bit better after another night of poor sleep but apparently it isn't the flu, rather it was something else. The only thing that comes to mind is possibly a sinus infection, but I haven't had much drainage. Anyway, I'm feeling almost back to normal.

(I do not use any antibacterial soaps or crap in the house. Maybe I should start?) The whole idea never made sense when all you really need to do is wash your hands properly to begin with. That's all you CAN do. There will still be billions of bugs on your hands, or in your mouth, or wherever. The difference is that they will not be borderline resistant to halogenated organic compounds.

That said, if you work in a hospital for long enough, you will possibly be a carrier of a drug resistant bug. About 25% of hospital workers carry multidrug resistant Staph. Which means you are more likely to pass it along to patients, and if you yourself are incapacitated in the hospital, you are more likely to become ill when that bug you are carrying starts winding up in your bloodstream, surgical wounds, or lungs.

this sucks, lots of people killed, from whom more than 60 (the article says 58 but I heard on the radio today a death-count of over 60) are dutch.

at least it was some kind of mechanical failure or human error and not a terrorist attacks, Libya confirms it.

You trust Lybia to confirm something isn't a terrorist attack?

It's not a terrorist attack.

well, most of the time they are the ones that do the blowing up job

We got to the West Finals in 2004 only to put up an embarrassing showing against the Flames.

cal-ga-REEEEEE

put up an embarrassing showing

Like scoring on your own goal isn't.

Yeah, but at least we kinda made up for it by beating the pulp out of Colorado for the rest of the series and then 4-1ing the Red Wings (though Game 4 was pathetic).

The game 3 goal was Nabokov's fault. I don't know why people were jumping on Boyle's case. Anyway, they might actually go to the cup this year. Chicago has not been consistent. Then again, neither has Nabokov. Actually, this whole playoffs and every team in it has been about as consistent as John McCain.

Stop! Collaborate and listen.

New millennium, mang, get with the times!

Ice is back with my brand new invention..?

In this bold and chrome-polished future, we are all busy pwning nubs. You must comply.

Ice is back

You would...

All right stop, collaborate and listen...

Also: Word to your mother.

But does he really mean Vanilla Ice, or Ice Cube, or Ice-T?
