every team besides the Bruins. Especially Montreal.


And a BIG FUCK YOU to Vancouver. ...Pussies.

 

[Tranquillian]

That sounds awesome. Is it close to you guys?

Not to me, its about 600 miles. Should be much closer for Erik and Mikael.

There should be a lot of empty stuff left over from STÅLVERK 80, the big project to build a steel foundry in Luleå. It was never built, but everything else around it was, and was abandoned.

this is a favourite of mine

If you want to see a ghost town there are some good places in Japan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashima_Island This one was supposedly the most badass in the world but last year it was made into a fucking tourist site. You used to have to pay local fishermen to take you there illegally. Now you can go any old time but you have to stay on a newly build path that keeps well away from EVERYTHING because the Japanese are too damned concerned with safety.

There are still a few more good places that I really want to get to before they're torn down or also turned into tourist sites.

American Jewelery and Loan is the star of Hardcore Pawn, a crappy reality TV show that a coworker convinced me to check out. It's just awful but some of the customers are over the top.

The Detroit Auto Show opened with its strongest first day attendance in five years. "We are absolutely thrilled at today's turnout," said Bill Perkins, chairman, 2012 NAIAS, in a press release. "The week just keeps getting better and better, and we're so pleased to share all the excitement with so many people and families who joined us for opening day." Perkins said 92,106 people turned out for day one of the public show. Last year that number was only 86,622. Second day auto show attendance was even better — 102,918 attendees. Does this mean there's a resurgence in love of cars? No, it just means there's even less to do in Metro Detroit than ever before!

[lurch70]

[dorian gray]

Blacks...excuse me - African Americans - are the only people left there

 

[lurch70]

hipsters are moving down there in droves from what I know ... it's the new hot spot and soon to be uber chic.
