| At random: The USS SKIPJACK was the first submarine designed from the keel up for top underwater performance using nuclear power. An earlier SKIPJACK was the first U.S. submarine to cross the Atlantic ocean under her own power (Newport, Rhode Island to Ponta Delgada, Azores, in 1917). |

Master and Commander Posts: 2357 | Subject: Smiley, some HOCKEY news..... ....you will be most pleased of course to see that the Kookaburra's ( Australia's male hockey team ) beat South Africa 10 - 0 Now the other day when you were beating your chest about your hockey team.....and of course you meant ICE Hockey.....I have a question for you. "How in all seriousness can you guys have the audacity to proclaim team 'x' as 'World Champions' when you and Canada are the only teams competing"? same goes for your Baseball teams...."world champions my arse" More like 'Bi Nation's Champions' Oh, and well done to Michael Phelps on his amazing swimming....truly a World Champion if ever I saw one!

Master and Commander Posts: 2254 Location: Foothills of the Ozarks | Subject: RE: Smiley, some HOCKEY news..... Finally something I can talk about. Blue; professional ice hockey doesn't have a World Championship; they play for the Stanley Cup. No mention of world in it. There are World Championships where any country that can get a championship caliber team can compete. In recent history the championships have been dominated by Sweden and Finland. Canada and the United States are generally competitive but not like they used to. All the good players have already gone into the professional leagues and they don't like to take time off to play in the international competitions; except during the Winter Olympics; then the pro's from north America, take time off to go compete. I'll leave the baseball section of your question to others; I don't follow baseball any longer. Cheers mate, | ||

Master and Commander Posts: 2357 | Subject: But Mate...... ....have you forgotten THE 'Code'???? The code that quite clearly states "one should not wish good luck to a shipmate because as sure as POD is one ugly son of a gun, it will turn into Bad Luck" I think you need to drown a few more beers to recall that finer detail of THE Code! Blue *_* Good on ya by the way  | ||

| Subject: RE: Smiley, some HOCKEY news..... You must be talking Field hockey Blue.. I played Ice Hockey in High School and besides throwing on skates a few times a year with the Kids and Grand Daughter I haven't played hockey in 40 years.. Don I give you a lot of credit shipmate.. You must have ankles made of rubber and the back of a 18 year old..I still play softball one day a week and that takes beats on me.. I could not imagine 60 min on the ice with a bunch of old guys chasing a puck at 30 mph.. whew...I bet it's fun.. And yes I still skate in my old Ccms and have never wore a "figure skate" like so many of my old "puck warriors" do now. Congrats on your great season Don There's always next year. | |||

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2561 Location: Rapid City, SD | Subject: Now, looky here, Don. Whaddya mean, just you and Patti? I'm jealous! (Is that how you spell it?) By the way, you got more responses than I did. I posted about our Little League team that went all the way to the World Series--first game tomorrow--, and received not one response. Maybe I should make a little comment on it so that it will go to the top of the line again. I mean, all you guys should get another chance. Right? Diddly dad burn it all, anyway?   (That's me yelling.) Oh--by the way--ya done good. I only see one man with a graybeard in the picture, but he looks way too old to be you. (Oh, God..I hope it isn't Don.)

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2540 Location: Wappingers Falls, NY | Subject: RE: Squids come in third...Ah, ah...Don... if it's just "you and me"...hmmm...people might start to talk... Cora...kudos to your Little League team...that's great! I remember many a summer day watching "locals" in my grandmother's hometown in PA...they actually made it to finals in late '60's and I think the whole town was there for all the games...little mining town about 60 miles south of Williamsport. Boy, those were the days!!! Now we have "old men" still playing ice hockey...what is this world coming to...;>) Sorry you lost last night, Don...but season was a good one...and you "all" don't look any worse for ware...and that's a very good thing...doesn't look like there are any many missing teeth or any casts to speak of...so, all in all...it is a very good thing!!! So, when does winter season start...(hehehe)...yes, I'm "addicted, too. Can't wait for regular season to start. | ||

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2561 Location: Rapid City, SD | Subject: Now, let's be real specific here... Quoting, "Yep...I'm the old guy." Now, who called who "old"? If I said one more word, I'd be diggin' a hole too deep to climb out of. Cora | ||

| Subject: RE: Smiley, some HOCKEY news..... Whooo-Hooo! We had a win last night, so the Championships are tomorrow! Last night was a complete goalies game. We ended up winning 2-1 on 38 saves made by yours truely (I only had 2 subs on the bench due to illnesses and business travel), talk about stuck in a shooting gallery! We're hoping for a better turnout tomorrow, as we will be playing the top seeded team. | |||

| Subject: RE: Smiley, some HOCKEY news..... It was a close game, but we lost 6-5 on a last minute goal during a penalty kill. This one was very much an offensive dominated game, with almost all goals scored off one-timers and around the corner 2-on-1's. It was a good effort by all and very evenly matched throughout, with just a last minute slip by one of my guys getting the penalty keeping the game from going to a shoot-out. Oh well, we'll try again next season. | |||
