'Spaw,

I did not know that. I was closer to the bad metal band scene, and I have a sister who is an actress, I have gone to all of her plays since she studied Drama in University. I have met so many of the characters from Guffman. I will give BIS another shot, but you being a dog person would get a lot of stuff that I wouldn't.

Funny, I was still playing junior hockey when Slapshot came out, everyone was raving about it. I remember thinking, "Yeah, so?" the first time I saw it. I had seen pretty much everything in the movie in real life. It wasn't until I saw it again many years after I had stopped playing competetive hockey that I really got that they did a great job capturing the wackiness of hockey players, both on and off the ice.
