Yea they do

And that’s the old hundred bill in the picture, and for the record I have only held one in my hand like twice in my entire life-time.

They used to make a $1000 bill. I only ever saw one twice – once at a bank, and the other time when someone was trying to buy 17 tickets to Wonderland and they had to empty the till from about 7-8 ticket booths to give the guy his change.

Was a 1953 print with the Queen at about 25. Multi-coloured but lots of pinky-purple, IIRC.

as soon as I heard Enya, I just started cackling like a mad woman.

Even though methinks Freddie Mercury and Company summed up Sundin better (sorry Winkle, it’s a video of “I want to break Free” by Queen")

I’ll still watch him play, since living in Barrie gives me a whole ten Avs games a year, and only when they play a Canadian team.

Chemmy's vignette

Having been in exile for some time, I am making my first visit to the ACC this weekend. I will need to plan my intoxication strategy. Can I expect to experience all the emotions expressed in this ode to French realism (re: train wreck) in a single game. Or is it like groundhog day?

They sell gigantic Molsons at the ACC. Have three or four.

However

Their beers are expensive, IIRC the highest price in the league, and it’s very watered down. I would try to sneak your own in.

Very Expensive

Best bet is a mickey of rum in the front of your pants, a large coke, and a quick visit to the bathroom for mixing purposes.

Is drinking and driving still illegal in Ontario? I’ll have to teach one of my kids to drive in the next 48 hours (I knew they had a purpose). Either that or just claim I don’t speak english to any cop who pulls me over.

hahaha no idea. I know from my time in Copenhagen that drinking and biking is in fact a criminal offence. Luckily the local constabulary was understanding of my ignorance and lack of balance.

Too Risky

Last time I was at the ACC, there was decent police presence and I know they put up RIDE checks all over the area to catch drunk drivers.

And this was for a Marlies game.
