When a man who has consumed 23 Molson Ultras falls from the top of a lamppost to the ground on Whyte Ave., wearing the Jari Kurri sweater he has had since he was 15, does the province still pick up the tab?

Is quality of health care such that this man will be ready to consume another case and a half during Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals?

Is there a contingency plan if the Greater Edmonton health care infrastructure becomes overtaxed from the burden of a dramatic seven game series that sends the Oilers to compete for the Stanley Cup?

Are hospitals open when a playoff game featuring the Oilers is in progress?

Thanks.

Last night, she was a doozy. My girlfriend found a big red metal pogo stick. She was a popular girl. At least until we came across some retard holding a massive homemade sign reading "CHEECHOO BANGS LITTLE CHILDREN." She wrestled it from his arms, and I managed to grab it and wing it 30 feet like a frisbee over a fence and into a construction site. We hastefully disappeared back into the throng as the guy clawed at the back of my head and made some ass-kick talk.

People shouldn't diss Jonathan Cheechoo.

As for Alberta Healthcare, this is, indeed, "oil country," and the Alberta gov't has been more vocal than any other about challenging publicly funded healthcare, even threatening to opt out of the Canada Health Act. I currently pay a $44/month in premiums and contribute to a Grad Student Health Plan that chips in for prescription drugs, dental work, etc which aren't covered at all.

Molson-Ultra buddy would foot a $400+ ambulance fee on his own dime, while services rendered in the emergency room would be covered. He's got to pay for his own prescription meds, too.

Cheechoo is from Moose Factory. That's no joke.

I'm going to visit the inlaws in Edmonton this Christmas. My only demand is to see the Oilers, although I haven't watched much hockey since the Whalers left Hartford (don't ask). I'm excited.

as a diehard Sharks fan, these pictures should be filed under: piling on. You hurt me- deeply.
