Another one bites the dust

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.

Bill Anders, Apollo 8 astronaut who, on Christmas Eve 1968, captured the iconic Earthrise photograph.

Bill died at the age of 91 piloting a bondage T-34 Mentor over the San Juan Islands. Presumably attempting to roll the plane.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

Actually, I was referring to Donald Sutherland. But yes, the sitcom is great as well

When I think Sutherland I think Body Snatchers.

I ripped through a bunch of Follets shorter books then it all died on some massive saga I forget the name of. The wife said it was good but once they get to be the size of a bible I'm out

Two sagas.

The Pillars of the Earth which was the far superior effort commencing in the early 1100's.

Then Fall of Giants which was 1910's through 20's (ish).

Not as good.

Pillars of the Earth is worth a read for those that are willing to hold something bigger than their dick in their hands....
