CC Random thread

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.

No doubt about Siegels place in history. Apparently him, Luciano and Lanskey were so tight that Luciano and Lanskey wouldn’t have ordered the hit, so his assassination is shrouded in mystery but it all points back to New York not being happy with Seigel leading up to his death. L

Vito

Vito Genovese was involved in a number of famous assassinations. Him, Seigel and Gambino were the gunmen who killed Masseria in a restaurant while Luciano excused himself to go to the washroom. Puzo used this true event to come up with the scene when Pacino excused himself to get a gun from the washroom in the Godfather. Vito and Lucky then planned out the hit on Maranzano. Vito planned out the hit with Carlos Gambino to take out Anastasia, so Carlo could be boss of the Mangano Crime Family which became the Gambino Crime Family. Carlo Gambino killed Anastasia himself

Well I finally had enough of Calpuck. I haven't posted there much in the last few years, but it's at the point now, that I can't even stand checking out the off the topic threads. The place is overrun with idiots who have been taught what to think instead of how to think. I won't be going back there again.

I don't post much about hockey anyway - I'm finding that I am gradually losing interest in hockey. I cancelled Sportsnet at the end of the 2018 and haven't really watched a game since. I am interested in the trades and free agent signings, but that's about it. I do like the off the topic treads. Also, after 2 days of not visiting Calpuck, I can already feel my blood pressure going down :lol:

Good one Doc - seeing the German lyrics, I'd hate to think what might be conjured up if that song was actually sung in that language! :D

That's not German, it's Dutch.
Or possibly Flemish.

Flemish and Dutch are basically the same thing, just depends on which side of the Belgisn-Dutch border you're on. Shrug.

Incredible!

Dunking a poke like that is why hes the #2 ranked golfer in the world.

Any other avid golfers in here? I hit my local links 2-3 times a week until the snow ruins the party. Baked golf is highly underrated comrades
