The First And Last Time You'll Hear Me Say It, Adam shocks all

GO FLAMES!

Atlanta Flames, that is.

The Atlanta Flames entered the NHL during its third expansion in 1972-73. They moved to Calgary for the 1980-81 season.




In 1972, general manager Cliff Fletcher hired the effervescent 'Boom Boom' (Bernard Andre Joseph) Geoffrion to coach the expansion Atlanta Flames. In just their second year of existence, the Flames made the playoffs.

Moving to Calgary may have been their biggest mistake ever.

Haven't you heard? Supposedly we are going back by 2015. Don't know why it would take so long, but.... I think the reason we hadn't been back before is because they saw no reason to. Pretty short sighted if you ask me.

Yeah. It seems your government pulls the space program out of their pocket every time there is an unpopular war. Ok, that sounded really cynical, sorry.

I never understood why everyone just quit with the space race. And what's the story with the space station? Wouldn't it have been much easier to build on the moon itself? Make an air-strip (or vacum-strip ) and you can land the shuttles instead of having to build these one time rockets with people pods. All the extra energy used to keep the International Space Station in orbit is a complete waste, when there is prime real estate on La Lune!

This is the official ADD thread.

What were we talking about???

I think we need Adam in charge of the US space program. He really seems to have a good grip on it ay Sarge?

I'll do it.

As long as I get my ocean front bungalo when I get there. Could you imagine how easy your car would be on gas up there? Of course, you'd have to run a separate tank for O2.................. I think I want to be the first guy to drive a Tbird in space.

Of course, your tires would have to be three feet wide to get any traction, but it'd be worth it.

I bet real estate prices near tranquility have already skyrocketed

I'll head up IT Got to get some broadband Internet going!

Of course. What's a trip to the moon without Celtic Radio?

Hey guys, CR reunion 2020, my place on the moon.

Ocean front on the moon? Duuude, you better read up. The Sea of Tranquility isn't, like, a REAL sea. It's, like, a crater, dude.

Wait, which moon are you talking about?

Well, just face my picture window at earth. How much more ocean scenery do you need?

to the mooon

Ah old raven, I see you have been baiting the americans in the true canadian fashion. Don't get them too worked up, otherwise we might have to go and burn down their white house again, just to show them who's boss.


Oh, and of course

GO FLAMES GO!

Sounds like we are going to have to get the chain saw out and cut Canada loose from our boundary and send it floating away....

Actually, all we have to do is re-enact the Fenian attack of Canada of 1866. A bunch of surly Irishmen invaded the great white north and won the Battle of Ridgeway, near Fort Erie. Go Fenians!

(And actually, Go Flames!...Damn Lightning knocked my Flyers out...)
