Happy Thanksgiving Sioux Fans!!!

Good thing I'm not Catholic...

haha, red patent leather.... Ok back to topic...6 year olds raising money for hockey....

Thanks been just over a month and a half now. How the heck did Ben end up there??

Ugh how I love their grasshopper pie....I love their ice cream...my grandma shoulda took stock out on that company we had so much of their ice cream growing up going to her house after school...aah memories. Unfortunately my own mother cant even ship our christmas gifts up here...stupid postage, stupid duty, stupid trade agreements and barriers....but it surely does sound heavenly! Actually could ya'll send me milk in plastic jugs, thats what I really miss these days...these tree hugging CanadiEns believe in plastic bags and it drives me nuts! How can the milk taking on your other aromas in the fridge and still taste normal...guess what it doesnt!!! Uggghhhh....thank the lord they still believe in cardboard cartons... End rant Note: My husband is a semi tree hugger...he doesnt mind if I make fun of him. Any other tree huggers that get offended should take after him and note that my comments are entirely tongue-in-cheek (and I only feel the need to add this disclaimer because an awful lot of people are getting offended on this forum lately!!) Oh and MafiaMan, he LOVED the Canadiens jersey!! His best man and one of the other CanadiEn groomsman noted that it was a very good gift and that they might not get something like that from their girlfriends...I scored mucho points! I did the puck bunny thing again for Halloween this year but with the new jersey as my Sioux jersey is in NoDak. The new jersey made it easy to wear slutty hooker red shoes too!

You girls need to stand in a circle and help each other pull the skirts outta your hind ends. Good lord...

I wish I could help him out but I dont think Schwans will deliver in Canada! Good luck to him and the rest of this team!

City and state where you were born and where you live now: Minot North Dakota, North Bay Ontario Canada Did you attend UND? Yes 2000-2004, BA Psychology Favorite current Sioux hockey player: Kaip, Kozek, Oshie Favorite all time Sioux player(s): Panzer brothers, Hoooogsteeens, Ryan Hale, Mike Commodore, and Andy Schneider Favorite all time non-Sioux WCHA player and team: Matt Carle, Duluth Are you a season ticket holder? No, I was a band geek so I always had a seat at the Ralph! My parents have tickets though.

My dad went in to help a friend and customer of the company he works for and he said the coverage on the news and the photos do no justice for the widespread damage. The friend's buildings are totally gone and it sounds like they'll be razing the house and starting over. My dad said he spent the day walking the yard, picking up garbage...so much devastation. During the flood, this guy was a customer of the company and became a friend of our family when he helped us move our stuff out before the water was in our neighborhood and then stored it all in his storage areas for the summer while we rebuilt. Wonderful man, now lost almost everything. So very very sad.

Haha...my puck bunny days in college never came to pass as I was one of the band geeks in the upper corner of the Ralph! As a broke Masters student, I needed a cheap costume, so I just used what I had in my closet, and bought a big curly blond wig. I carried a sign too with stupid crap like "D-men can body-check me anytime" and "I heart Crosby"..yada yada...it was quite ridiculous which made it all the more hilarious. I think next year I'm going as a band geek, I just have to find my marching shoes....

I was a "puck bunny" (Sioux jersey, skirt, heels, heavy makeup, enormous wig) for Halloween and we went to this piano bar near Wrigley Field in Chicago. As we got out of the cab, the bouncer in front of the bar flagged me down. I think he said he graduated UND in 94 or 95. He didnt make me pay the cover that night.

You were dumb to go there on the first of the month like me and my mom, eh? 30 minutes in line, ice cream and frozen goods melting, and the slowest f-ing cashier in recorded history.

The Loop in downtown Chicago

When my brother and I were little (I was about 8, he was 5), we were playing in my grandma's driveway while mom was talking to grandma in the house. Mom's car was running and my brother got in the car and put it into drive, he figured it was a race car and he was going to race. I was in front of the car as it started to roll forward...I got out just in time but the car hit the garage door. I was lucky I didnt get hit. So parents dont leave the car running and if you do, make sure its locked or your kids know NOT to play in the car.

Thats the new thing me and my fellow MA grads are saying now that we are broke as hell and we need to find "real" jobs...

You dont want to do PRACS anyway....my brother did it and had to pay in a buttload on his taxes that year (for 20 years old, any kind of pay-in to the govt is a lot). Yeah its good temp money but you pay for it later anyway. Try one of the greenhouses or construction. For construction, you get paid 10 bucks or more an hour just to hold up their flags and be outside. Greenhouses are fun places to work too, but its not easy work either.

If you dont care what made him do it, then how do you expect to prevent it in the future???

I need your expertise...check it now

Check your PM, please.

The CanadiEn just told me that is their original logo or something. It needs to go away. Though he also said the Canucks have never really had a decent jersey.

I just wanna say that the Canucks/Stars series has been the most boring. Ever. Can it be over yet??? And the Canucks really have to do something about that lame-o sweater/logo thing. Yeech.

I do think Toews got way jumped on for this, especially from the country and culture that he comes from, I will agree with Sioux Hab-It on that point. However, being a CanadiEn doesnt excuse his behavior in the States, and if you're caught, you face the consequences. If I'm speeding down the 401 and forgot to convert mph into km, the OPP isnt going to let me off because I'm an American in Canada. Ignorance or disregard of the law is not an excuse and should not lessen the consequences. Hopefully he'll learn from it and not get caught next time. He isnt the first and wont be the last to be busted in a bar RW77 Having worked with youth and at-risk juveniles for the last 3 years I have encountered four kinds of kids and how/why they'll use or abuse drugs and alcohol The party kids--considered socially accepted for whatever reason. Can handle it or spiral out of control. Can lead to abuse and dependence, can also influence their already ridiculous levels of impulsivity The pressured kids--dont want to, get sucked in by the group. Again, increases impulsive behaviors that can cause problems. The dependent--use and abuse to cover up their problems and likely have alcoholic parents and chaotic home life. The non-user--doesnt touch it, might later when its legal. May also have alcoholic parents and work hard to avoid that path. Bottom line like some have said...if you can save one by a speech, fantastic. But most wont listen and its one of those things that parents need to educate their own children, set expectations boundaries and values early and its one of those things that impulsive identity seeking adolescents/young people need to figure out on their own Taking off my Skinner hat...

I dont understand why people continue to say "give the seats back to the students" when it is in fact STUDENTS in the band, occupying those seats. Its not like the Ralph hired out the GF City Band to play at the games...those are students in those seats. The only difference between those students and the rest of the student section is that the band has instruments and they are working a helluva lot harder than some of the other fans in the arena to bring spirit and energy to the crowd and the atmosphere of the game.

Awesome! Congrats Duncan!!
