  - Well... - Subversive Jan 2, 14:54 2

    - I always thought she was a hottie -- nm - con_carne Jan 2, 14:31

  - ""I think halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything." -- nm - Qale Jan 2, 14:18
  - I routinely get my ass whipped. But winning a 6 player Guardian match with David, Bery and truman in the mix ranks among the most satisfying things - Reagen Jan 2, 14:16
  - At the very least, you'll fit right in when we do "Custom Games" with just the STers messing around. Fun times. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 14:13

  - No, those are actually counted in my listing. It's 48-2-4 broken down totally. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 14:14
  - That is counting them. - Reagen Jan 2, 14:14 1

Bob Costas said yesterday that this was the 2nd Winter Classic. The Habs/Oilers game didn't count as a Winter Classic? -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 13:59 3
- Didn't air in the US so likely doesn't count. (Plus that was called "The Heritage Classic") -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 2, 14:00 1
  - Of course, if it's not in the U.S., it doesn't count. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 14:21

  - name = game. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 14:10
