Montréal Canadiens “Mink” Blanket: Any Furriers Out There?

Filed under: General

My lovely ex Tree (better known as Teresa) dropped in a few days ago for a visit.  She gave me a fantastic gift; a Montreal Canadiens blanket that is supposedly made out of mink.  This thing is huge & beautiful!

 

I showed it to the boys during our poker game.  No one could really say whether or not it was real mink but everyone agreed it was a lovely blanket.  A couple of guys suggested I take it to a furrier to find out if it is real.  The Dickhead mentioned he had 2 uncles that were furriers but they were "no longer with us".  Thanks Dickhead, that really helps me out!

 

Anyway (and no disrespect to those furriers in the sky), if anyone has any contacts that can help on this one, please let me know.  Regardless, my blanket will have a place of honor in my apartment.  Next time I go to a Toronto/Montréal or Buffalo/Montréal hockey game I’ll have to bring it with me to wave every time my boys score a goal!

Poker with the Boys

Filed under: General

Friday was "Poker Night in Hamilton".  We usually have a table of seven players but this time there were only five of us.  Godwin & Joe could not make it-we missed you guys!

 

Those of you who read my post on our last poker game will remember that when the game was over, there was some conversation about whether or not our betting was getting out of hand.  Some pots were actually stressful to see!  This game however was much more laid-back.  No real big winners or losers (I myself lost $25).

 

With only five of us the game ended a little earlier than usual (12:30 a.m.).  Poor old Tony C had to leave early.  Too bad; we were having a lot of fun!  I think cousin Jan was the big winner.  Bastard!
