Title: RBI in Canada
Post by: Donnie Paradise on 03/22/04, 03:21:36 PM
First day on the board. Can't believe it exists. Me and my buddy were playing old Nintendo games, Ice Hockey, Double Dribble. One day:
"Got this new one, RBI Baseball"
"Yeah I remember that, pretty decent game, fat guys that ran real slow."
"Yeah, want to play?"
Three months later it's a daily two out of three. We play All-Star games becuase there's more pressure, can't make a mistake from 1-8 (9 if Fernando or Saberhagen is at the plate)
Anyway, wondering if there's any RBI'ers in Canada. Looking for some outside competition to see how good we are.

Ah yes.  You Canadians w/ your floppy heads and your beady eyes.  J/k.  We're not even close.  AZ.  I'll take your weather right about now.  It's hot as balls here right now.

I've received a few emails from Canadians, though their presence on the board is slight.  Go ahead and register and represent an entire country.  Where exactly are you from?

I get emails from a guy in Mexico, who used to make roms about the Mexican league. Real bright guy.

Now, we just have to be able to find a Japanese contingent. I'm heading over there in June/July so I'll see what I can find.  ;)

I know a South Korean who plays RBI.  He's pretty good but he transferred to the University of Michigan.

Not from Canada but we do go to Windsor Ontario occasionally.  Had quite a few good times there.

I heard the titty bars in Canada are out of control.  My college roommate said he saw things at one that he could not describe to another person.  It was forever burned into his mind.

Yeah, the titty bars in Canada are pretty good, at least in Windsor where we always go (across the river from Detroit).  The only thing is that I always come back from Canada broke because when you start drinking and go to the casino and titty bars the Canadian money starts to seem like play money.

That's all part of their master plan - they make their money in all these bright colors, with pictures of the Queen and whatnot, and after a few beers you're trying to use it to buy Illinois Avenue.  I tell you, they're evil genius up north.

That's funny because it's true.

Where're you from, DonnieParadise?  I live in Ottawa, Ontario, and I'm dying for some non-computer competition.  Hearing these boys talk about the tourneys they set up makes me drool like a pitbull.

For some reason, they like the queen of england.

She's really on their currency?  Learn something new every day...

Yup, the queen and a bunch of our former prime ministers.  The queen is on all of our coins, along with a caribou on our quarter and a beaver on our nickel, a famous ship called the Blue Nose on our dime and a maple leaf on our penny.

Writing all this stuff out, I guess it is kinda funny . . . I'm just used to seeing these things every day.

Our money is damn funny. Canadian rap stars insist it's all about the Mackenzie-King's, but it just doesn't ring like the Benjamins.
Montreal is a top three party city in the world though. I'm in Prince Edward Island, the smallest province and an RBI wasteland.

I guess.  What do you have to do to play dkillorn, hitchhike across the 100 mile bridge?  I just live in Ontario, we gotta hook up sometime when I'm down in Hali visiting this buddy of mine.  There is not an RBI soul to be found here in Ottawa.  I'll ask my buddy Rick Mercer to join us, I hear he's a ribbie freak.

The best thing about Canada is the $2 coin.  Those things are sweet!  I want to tip a stripper with one someday.

I know next to nothing about PEI, except this show on the food channel that followed all these Oyster Shuckers.  Couple of them were from PEI, they go around, drink beer and shuck oysters in tournaments.  Seems like a good life...
