It’s Official

The Canucks will be moving on up this year!! Wuuu huuu!!! Game 7 and here I thought that the same old ‘Nucks will come out and play after giving up a goal in the first. Needless to say I’m extremely relieved that we’re not eliminated.

Mensa InternationalOn another note, I got bored last night and decided to have a workout. My result is as follows:
Your score was 21 out of 30. That is a very good score, you would have a good chance of passing the Mensa test.
