Welcome to the Refugees from "Central"

If it's in here, it's probably a good idea to read it.

I agree with Ex Pat call it some place in Alberta, maybe the Pinolka Escapees. For those that may not know there is a special place for mental cases in Pinolka.

I think you mean Ponoka - and yes, they have a mental institution there. I actually did some consulting (on the buildings - not on the inmates :lol: ) to an Architectural firm that worked on a big addition to the place a number of years ago. Anyway, Ponoka would be an excellent name to replace the Bountiful thread.

BTW - good to see you made it over Listercat.

Apparently threatening Chris and his wife doesn't work, so I'm all out of ideas. :mrgreen: ;)

And yet another CanucksCentral refugee drifts in.... Thanks, Brian and the rest of the Corner vets for having me. I lurked at Central for years before I started posting, so it was a bit shocking to see all those old friendships and bantering sessions completely vanish. Great to see most of those people back here (and I hope others like UW, Per, Spock, Pot and, of course, Eddy and Don show up as well). This site has a great atmosphere so far: I'm looking forward to next season.

All right Listercat and Expat.......how about someone comes up with something new as a thread title where we can post little nuggest about our dear friends in Alberia ?? A person could call it "From Bountiful to Ponoka" , or something like that. Maybe someone else should pick this one up as I started the first thread was 200 pages and over 100,000 hits. Chris picked up the 2nd one......so perhaps someone can fire up another thread ?

What ever the name of the new thread, it must imply inbreeding.

Looooong time lurker, hard to believe I spent around a decade reading CCentral. Any other casual readers find it a blast to see old favourites like Clam and Lotus had migrated here years ago??

Anyway, I for one hope THINKER makes it back, he livens things up without getting nasty or personal (just being damnably right most of the time), UWSaint for the Epic Stats, Per for the awesome translations from Aftonbladet, and good ol' Hjumaeni for the endless stream of bizarre trade proposals (now THAT guy knew how to pass an off-season on a hockey board!)

Of course, HW is the most important, I needed to track her down to keep my Weber dreams alive :drink:

...and now, off to discover what the eff happened to Chris!

Please no more Mathew Moreau.

ESQ, what was your handle on Central so I can place you? If it was ESQ, I'm at a loss...

Oddly enough, I never got a handle. I seriously tried at least 5-6 times over the years but for some reason my requests never got activated. It was like there was a no-ESQ club or something :(

Looking forward to the return of the Prospects Thread too! Has always been a daily-check thread for me.

We can probably say that if the Nucks ever win the cup, ppl here can die in peace. :D Most of them are solid intelligent posters too with opinions u may agree or disagree with, but in the end, it's all in good fun. I think u'll like them in time Robert and it'll make things here a lot more interesting here for sure (much more traffic). :)
You sir are very correct. The flames fan has been vouched for.. good enough for me. :-)

A warm welcome to all the newcomers! Raises a G n t in the air.

So I should show you around a bit, here's the shitter. All I ask is don't forget to flush.
