The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Today is a special day. June 4th 2017 marks the 13th anniversary of the Killdozer's rampage through Granby Colorado.

Sit down kids and let me tell you a tale, about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things.

Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin's shop. In the process this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. Petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied.

The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin's business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this.

His business and livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three foot thick steel and concrete armor, camera systems guarded with bulletproof glass.

On June 4th 2004 Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell over top of himself, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand.

He burst fourth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself.

Swat teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozers righteous fury.

In the end, Marvin's Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day.

Today we celebrate Killdozer day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system.

From notes left behind after his passing:
"I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things."
Doc: "BTW, Donny was right, you're smug."

Skittles Accused Of White Supremacy

An attempt by Skittles to celebrate LGBT Pride Month has been met with backlash from various left-leaning activists on social media.

The candy manufacturer removed the iconic rainbow colors from its product in a tribute to Pride Month. The company stated, “During Pride, only one rainbow matters. So we’ve given up ours to show support.” A portion of the profits from each bag will go to LGBT charities.

The decision was met with backlash by those who felt that the move was racist and reminiscent of white supremacy.

Many critics expressed outrage on Twitter, claiming that it is “racist” to sell white Skittles.


This is not the first year that Skittles has released monochromatic candy during Pride Month — they did the same thing in 2016, but did not face the same amount of backlash.

Skittles removed all mention of white candies from its social media accounts. The offending candies are now only in stores in the United Kingdom, although customers in North America can buy the white candies on Amazon. The switch to white began in March and will conclude in September.
And you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.

EDIT: "Yeah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating" :lol:

They aren't immigrants, they are migrants. LOL

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/governo ... -1.4167348

Migrant from OED
Noun
1 - A person who moves from one place to another, especially in order to find work or better living conditions.
2 - An animal that migrates.
Adjective
1 - Tending to migrate or having migrated.

Immigrant, from OED
A person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.

Does this mean they will go back where they came from?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

So Trudeau scratches a 10.5 million dollar cheque to a terrorist. Stupid US Rangers should have filled that kid in properly years ago. When in doubt shoot and keep shooting. Just like the prick on the Greyhound that bucked the kids dome off. Cocksucker is out on day passes now. Cops should have blown his guts out. Alan Schoenborn same thing. 99% of people will not question the cops or military for blowing these people away.

lol didn't he try to almost knee him once?

in the end mayweather used all his knowledge to beat him, mcgregor said mayweather switched his fighting tactics three times which threw him off, and yeah he did seem tired out after the 6th round.
