I've had nothing but negative experienced with Wild Wings, but that's mostly due to the service at the one here in Winnipeg.

I'm in California with family... in Anaheim... love the place, but would love to burn down the Ducks' building.

Have any of you ever looked at Brad Treliving's stats from when he was a player back in the 90s? Guy was a complete goon :laugh:

So in the last two years, I've gone and watched two baseball games in two different cities and I've made the jumbotron both times. They also both happened to be against the Yankees and they've beaten the home team each time. I don't even like baseball so why can't I have this kind of record when watching the Flames on the road? :laugh:

It's a sign, you need to become a fan!

Not knowing anything about the Red Sox or their fans, what makes you say that? :laugh:
They are loyal, stand by a losing team long term, that's really all I got. Lazar Beams is a Red Sox fan.

I'd say what I think of Yankee fans, but I'm not sure my language would be suitable for HF or that anyone could understand what I am saying through all the astrixs

The best experience I ever had was when I went down to watch some spring training in Florida in 2013 (they were putrid in 2012) and I had my Red Sox hat on. So after the game (they had just lost) was in the parking lot this old dude who could barely walk came up to me and asked if I was a fan after last season, and I said yes.
His face completely lit up and he shook my hand with such vigor. We chatted about the game, and the team, and he guaranteed they'd be back in the playoffs that year. I humoured him, being leery of all the changes they had made in the offseason... turns out he wound up being right.

Baseball is awesome for that kind of thing.

I still feel that being a Sox fan is your greatest flaw

I need a laptop for school, do I get a mac or windows?

Well generally, MAC's are easy to use and sync nicely with other Apple devices, and they cost a lot, with Windows you have a lot of options between different manufacturers. Really difficult to say, depends what you use it for and what are the constraints and what you value (price, screen size, weight etc.)

If you're looking for something for lightweight use like school work, web browsing, and some video streaming I would also suggest looking at some Chromebooks too if you're on a budget.

I didn't want to bring my laptop with me on my vacation just in case it got stolen or whatever but I have maps, points of interests, and schedules on my Google account and I hate browsing on mobile devices so I bought a small Chromebook. I was actually really impressed with how well it worked.
