No, the season hasn't had a Christmas wish restart, but the Bertuzzi thing got sorted - well, as much as it can so far. Bertuzzi admitted to assault, paid a fine and got probation for a year. That's in the criminal sense, still needs to be allowed by the NHL to do anything hockey orientated - he can't even go find a Euro team to play for during the lockout while the suspension hangs over him, Not to say that he shouldn't be punished, but hockey is a violent sport and he was getting Moore back for attacking Naslund in an earlier game, and Moore did fall awkwardly. And nothing was wrong with Richard Loe's elbow to Paul Carozza's face in the 1992 rugby LOL...
Bridge Over The River Kwai on TV at the moment, Obi Wan Kenobi in a British Army uniform LOL. Just looking at the way the Geneva Conventions are kind of adhered to in this movie, I'm wondering if in thirty years time there will be Camp In The Cuban Sun about what's going on at Guantanamo now :)
Merry Christmas Saturn - the Huygens probe should detach itself from the Cassini orbiter and land on Titan in a few days - could be as quick as the Venus probes and only survive a couple hours, or could stick around for months - the excitement of space exploration - unlike on planet Earth, where cause and effect can be gauged fairly well (apart from total surprises like 9/11), who knows what Titan will do to a fridge sized probe :)
And still the Washington state election goes on - the results have been certified now, but voters have the right to challenge the result, and with the hornets nest of Dems vs Republicans that has been kicked up, maybe they will sort it out in four years time - lol, but then again, look, Bush's 2000 election was only held up by the Supreme Court, and he got re-elected...
Am I a bad Allied grandchild for having more sympathy for the Japanese commandant in this movie (River Kwai)? Rather than the Brits? Haven't seen this movie in a while, and it's sorta good, but not a classic... not as bad as Casablanca though - the only non average scene out of that one is when the Marsellaise was sung...
Kobe v Shaq in the NBA on Xmas Day, should be good, those two have been feuding all year. With an undercard of Indiana v Detroit, the last time those two teams met, the old cliche about hockey (a fight started and it turned into a game), and mass suspensions ensued :) good will to all men indeed hehehe...
Merry Xmas everyone
Pauly
