I think the TPIM is actually TRJ... never seen them together in the same room...

Negative.
I would bet he is someone else, though. His volume of shit-posting was like two overclocked bots on far too many days for me.

They are both my alts.

Brushes with "fame" - sat next to Burton Cummings on a flight to Toronto. Held the door at the Covid test clinic for Bo-Levi Mitchell. Picked up a sheet of paper and handed it back to Kelly Hrudey after he dropped it

I don't know if it still is, but if you call Bob's Urban X in the NE on a holiday, it's my voice telling you to email if it's urgent or when the store is back open

[ExtraSlow]

I call just to hear that message when I'm horny. It finishes me off every time.

That's explains so much.

I was a child at the Blind Melon concert where the incident with Shannon Hoon occurred. Yes, that one.

You both have left me feeling like I have somehow been violated vicariously through my company, yet I am strangely okay with it…

My artwork was once displayed in the Alberta Legislature building in Edmonton. Would have preferred somewhere in Calgary, but hey beggars can't be choosers.

I was an extra in the movie Cool Runnings... think that was through my school. In the scene (Spolier alert!) where they started picking up the bobsled and carrying it across the finish line you can see me. (An in particular my gloves, as I lost mine, and took my Moms pink gloves for the day)

Oh, my claim to fame. I was in a small newspaper article when I was a kid @ Prairie Winds park. My parents used to have the article cut out and stuck to the fridge for years.
Also, I was apparently "at" the opening ceremony to the 88 winter Olympics, as a newborn.. I was just shy of a month old at that point.

I guess I'll add to the brushes with athlete "fame" memories.

Saw Kelly Hrudey wasted at Shileghlagh's in Signal Hill several times.
Met Phil Housley and Kippersoff at the Whisky on 17th - chain smoking... pretty sure a friend of mine made out with Kipersoff that night but don't remember for sure.
My ex-gf flashed Iginla and Oliwa at Cowboys during Bacardigras. Iggy, being the class act he is, gave me a Bud Light.
Theo Fleury leased a house on my old street for a while but it was when the Dome was under construction so I only met him a couple of times. Met his 2nd wife a few times though - even helped break into their house through an upstairs window when she accidentally locked herself out.
Took Thomas Vanek's place on a houseboat trip when he got drafted by Buffalo (didn't get to meet him - just the guy he lived with in Lacombe).
Played basketball against Jeff Garcia in Jr. High
Met Doug Flutie at the White Spot or Cheesecake Cafe as a kid.

They all seemed like normal dudes and class acts.

The what? Who? What one?

Blind Melon was, and is, a very under-rated band.

Didn't realize how old you were. Also, are they still a thing? Are they doing some kind of "Well by now everyone almost forgot about us enough that we should do a nostalgia tour even though our SINGER is dead." tour (the vidz notwithstanding).

lol my parents had a cut-out of 8yo me in the Calgary Sun interviewed at stampede. Quoted for something like "I like winning stuffed animals"

Have to assume he's talking about the Vancouver show where Hoon got nekkid and peed on a fan.
