yes, it was, and someone posted a link to his pic, a horrid horrid way to go....the pic was barely recognizable of Ebert....not the way to go....!
Now what was the source of that "Brown Mule" tobaccy, southern tobacco, or well....Mule essence...LOL...(sorry can't help myself Michael), (place missing "pulling the chain" emoticon here.._____). Geez, I can vividly picture the other Team's CF'er, making a face first sliding catch in CF, after Lenny was roaming around out there, creating his own swamp of juice....! Now that would be horrid...!
Pastafazul....Good to see you back, after the Cup....! Noticed you spent some time on the Rangers board....3 of those 5 games, could of easily gone either way, and the Ranger's should hold their heads up high....! It bothered me to see Lindqvist, with his head held down on the bench, all alone after Game 5....! Lindqvist was excellent, and I thought, he himself deserved the Conn Smythe...just like Ron Hextall did in 87 with the Flyers, who succumbed to those Great Oilers-Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Clark, Fuhr, McSorley, (and a ton of others)...Oilers....
I totally agree....imagine seeing a pic like that, at a tobacco shop....!!! That's exactly where they belong....! This coming from a ex-tobacco smoker of 35 years....!
I smoked for almost 40 years & it took a heart attack & a quadruple by pass for me to finally wake up. And that was almost 6 years ago.
Smoking is one horrible addiction, to say the least, perhaps the very hardest thing I've ever had to do, quit smoking. I bet you count your lucky stars, after that Heart Attack, no doubt, glad your still around, my friend...!!!
I smoked about 5 years, but never had it bad.... It was at most a half a pack a day of Marlboro Ultralights or Lights.... Quit at least 9 - 12 months before my oldest was born and did so cold-turkey....
My condolences and prayers to his family and friends. Damn cancer. Medical world needs to stop dawdling...... It struck my family in 1974, 1992, 2006.
I've very sorry to hear that Lion...! My condolences to your family...! A horrible way to go, when I think of it, I've known approximately 2 dozen peeps, over the years, mostly friends who've passed from this god forsaken cancer...! I think most people here have lost at least someone they loved to cancer...! In the mid 80s, in a small rural town in the Mojave Desert, (Rosamond, CA.) went thru a Cancer Cluster scare....end result....16 kids, aged 2-18 died from the result of hazardous waste from the gold mines....arsenic, nickel, cadmium, (a few other poisons), leeched down from the buttes, into their desert yards. One kid simply ate eggs every morn for a year. A Local H.S. Football star, developed Brain Cancer, the culprit, the chickens were eating feed from the tainted sand, which left traces of those chemicals in his eggs. Other kids, simply drank bad well water, also tainted with those chemicals....It got so bad, we couldn't use our showers, let alone drink the water. (Water is a big issue here in the Desert, never enough of it).....some water taps had pure black slimy oozed pouring out...They say, one absorbs up to 2 cups of water, simply by taking a shower or bath.... It was a State, and County Fiasco, as they scrambled to find the sources, and provide sufficient clean water sources, to re-route to 5,000 homes and families... As well, being a rural community, traces of DDT were damn near everywhere.... Hardest thing in the world is to watch a infant or young child/kid, dying of terminal cancer, because some ass hole didn't do their job, when doing soil samples prior to building residential tracts/homes, and ranches.....!!!! It made National News, and scared the hell out of us....!!
