[Hold the Pickles]

Welome Miss C and BTW nice handle.

 

[AvengerK]

I've been lurking on these boards for a while now, since the Nolan trade rumors first sprang up or so. I finally decided to be unlazy and register and post. My name is Ken, and I was in San Jose when the Sharks were formed. I remember going to opening night of San Jose Arena, the Ringling Bros. Circus. Funny enough, I was not there for the first home game in the Arena. Actually, I'm feeling kind of lazy again and don't feel like typing too much. I'll bore you to death with my life story later. If I remember to.
