    - Top of what? Canada? - Guigue Aug 23, 10:59 1
      - Well, Impact didn't play in Saputo for the first five games and it's capacity is lower than BMO. Perhaps it was season tickets. - zork Aug 23, 11:14
pippy, never cook that on high. - groiny Aug 23, 10:47 6
- what about while high? -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 10:50
