Listen, I think the 100 grand the city paid for that fine piece of ice was a deal but let’s be frank here: We have got to step our game when it comes to winter style entertainment because that oval is like nascar on ice, boring as shit, all left turns and only momentarily fun when somebody crashes. And there are plenty of viable alternatives to skating in circles. Our national game; hockey; you can skate the shit out of that ice anyway you like. You can turn right, you can stop if you like, you can even skate backwards, its liberating. At least a dozen rinks could have been built on that poor excuse for a failure of the human imagination. —I Want to Turn Right Goddammit

looks like the coast advertising works….
hate the oval? write a bitch….
flood the section….
By the way, falling down and smacking your head on the ice is called ‘pulling a Sidney’ move.
damn it…
seb’s actually having a good, funny day.
Then you get up… take a breather.. try again.. fall … and quit.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
see ll of my comeents above about the oval. if you don’t like it, then don’t use it. there are lakes and rinks, try one of them. maybe you could go way the fuck up north to the pole, i hear there is plenty of ice there, and no one around for miles.
I swear if everybody in Halifax were given a million dollars they’d still find something to complain about.
It’s true, troon. They’d complain that Sid gets several more millions to do a dream job and get more bitches than they ever could.
