OT: This is so freaking COOL!

Just had a somewhat surreal experience. Driving my son to hockey practice and another freshman is riding along. My son is (of course) wearing his Habs shirt and he says Carey Price is the best goalie in the world. The other player says he's not even the best Canadiens goalie ever. So I say "yeah, that was Patrick Roy".

The other kid says "Patrick Roy was a Canadien?"

I am a little surprised, and the kid says "What was that one guy's name. He didn't play long, but he was great."

And I'm thinking "You say Halak or Huet and I'm throwing you out". When the kid goes "DRYDEN! Ken Dryden. That was the one."

Somehow, he was unaware that Roy played in Montreal, but he knew about Dryden.

Oh my god, this is so satisfying.

Things Fitting Perfectly Into Other Things

For most of the board.

For higgy's response to the rest of us.

This is much less satisfying, but a good reference for any of you who may be curious as to exactly what I'm up to these days.

I was really hoping the punch line was going to be Jose Theodore.

Shit, I didn't even think of him.

That might have garnered a punch.

I wonder if they are originally from Inglewood, Jack.

First time I saw this a while back, I laughed continuously for 10 minutes watching it over and over.

So I dropped my daughter off at the University of Victoria on Sunday - Last night she snapchatted me a photo of her in a dorm room (not her dorm room) with six other people holding a beer. Off to a great start (lol)

So does social media make things better or worse than in our day? For the parents I mean.

It certainly makes it easy to stay in touch, that's for sure. My daughter doesn't really like Facebook and I think she's pretty smart about putting limited info about herself out there (only been hammered into her about a million times by Mrs. Dash and me).

All I know is that when I was working a job and the future Mrs 43 was at University my largest monthly bill was rent. Second was phone bill. Third was car.

I would have killed for Snapbookchattube.

Guy in the grey van will probably be wondering why that asshole parked so close.
