Never underestimate the thrill of being able to say "Postie award winner" Tuck.

I know what you mean about a "Foreign" award. I've never forgiven the Academy for snubbing The Sweet Hereafter and Atom Egoyan!

That's True.. very good film

J-Ho brings people back together.. admirable for sure

But back to Tuck..
just wanted to say I have lurked in your US Threads and have seen some very good debate there.. absent of personal swipes and flames. You handle discord with humour and that is very good. Everyone wins there.

The Rivallry on some of the Canadian Threads ( sometimes ) isn't "fun" as it could be..
When someone dares to challenge one certain female curler they are set upon by a pack of wolves in a non humourous way..
It could improve and I can attest to that because I got into one of those battles and it turned me totally OFF CZ..for the first time since I started posting way back in about 1999.

Anyway.. Tuck you are a talented writer.. and please bring your wisdom into the north anytime..


Go J-Ho.. your diplomacy is MUCH appreciated..

So I am awarded the equivilent of the Best Foriegn Film Oscar? Well, thanks...I think.

Now if I can just learn to stay out of the Manitoba threads and the icemakers forum. For there is where angels fear to tread and I run the risk of looking stupid.

I, too, would like to thank Gerry and Dallas for their work on this site...a site that is growing in impact and importance inside the USA. I withhold my gratitude, however, because I am certain that they are growing stupid-super-rich on this site. Facebook and Google ain't nothin'. CZ is where the big bucks are being made. (for those that do not know me, look up the word Facetious)

There is an underappreciated poster in BC who doesn't post near enough. Teeman has intelligence and insight. I wish he would share them more often. I really appreciate that McEwen and his team are around. As most users, I appreciate that Manitoba Legend helps drive the discussion along with J-Ho. While I occasionally think that ML comes on too strong, he'll come down if you call him on it.

I have finished, sent off and received approval for my second-ever United States Curling News column. If you want to read a little more of my humble wordsmithing, check the very back pages...where they belong. As their newest columnist, I will hold off the humor (humour) until they get to know me.

Ah Tuck, I too lament at the all to infrequent posts of the Teeman. However I think he is pre-occupied pouring copius amounts of Guiness and regalling young lassies with tales of his heroic Brier feats to post here on CZ. Mayhaps that will change in the future for the benefit of us all.

Meanwhile, rejoice in you Postie. It could have been worse, like the Golden Globes. You could have got the award for Best Supporting Sidekick in a Foreigh Language Documentary Comedy/Musical about Global Warming....

Which you would have had to share with Charlie Sheen (but hey, the after party would have been a blast!)
