I just knew this was a Noodles thread from the subject line. I have maybe won a cookie and one small coffee for all the hundreds of rim-rolling cups I have consumed in my days (that's enough, Dan).

We just got Glen Wesley!

Belfour's goaltending is superior to Cujo, I must say. And I kind of like Cujo.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like to Lever up the Lip and Lose.

Anyhow, back to the hockey derailment.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Okay then, Potvin is still my favorite Leafs goalie. "The Cat" is the coolest of hockey nicknames, and he was kind of hottt. Though Belfour I heart because he is an utter mentalist and emotional wreck who still manages to get the job done on most occasions.

MIKE PALMATEER TO THREAD.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

¿belfour is an emotional wreck? i thought he was a drunk.

― dyson (dyson), Sunday, 9 March 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

That too.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 9 March 2003 18:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Palmateer couldn't stop a beachball. Wregget did a good job considering how decrepit the team was.
Belfour may be a drunk be he's got nothing on good olde Al Iafrate when he was a Leaf. I think they kept a bottle or two on the bench for him.

I still havent found my missing cup.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I was kidding about Palmateer. All-time worst Leaf player: Bill Root. We had a Bill Root fan club which consisted of me and my friend Chris. Anyone wanna join?

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 19:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't remeber Root, Im guessing he was one of those classic players backing up Rick Vaive and Wendel Clark? One of the all time worst Leafs was their captian, Rob Ramage.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 19:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh Potvin, let me sing thy praises. i saw him back in St. John's right before he got sent to Toronto; by the third period most other teams would just kind of give up and go limp.

Thats alright. There is somegirl with a MUN backpack who lives around the corner I see on the TTC all the time. It makes me miss NB a bit when Im in one of the rush hour sardine cars.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 01:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

It was indeed a coffee that I won. I found the washed up rim in the laundry I put away this morning. I could barely read it but they took it at the store.
Hurrah for me and my winning ways.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't follow your primitive barbaric sport enough to know of these amusing little nicknames you grant people. Do you still make the goal nets out of fishing twine and twigs? *hides*

(I actually like hockey as a sport because it's essentially soccer on ice, or vice versa or something.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned with hockey hair would be GREBT!
He'd be like a blond Barry Melrose.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

What kind of goddamn crack are you ON? Some kind of cheap Canadian stuff cooked up by the type of people Dave Q specifically fled from, I'll bet.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Hockey without fighting is like a ballet on ice"
-Only someone (even if it was a Canadian) in LA could say that.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

I won yet another coffee yesterday.
Between yesterday and listening to Melville now Im just going to blankly stare at my computer monitor and smile.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

I haven't won anything! The cappucinos have been for nought.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

(If I'm paying money to roll up to the rim, I'd DAMN WELL better be getting some luvin' in return.)

You deny the power of coffee love?

And how is your noodle?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned, its got to be what 9 in the morning for you?

My noodles are in the fridge, pad thai for lunch, yummy.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned, its got to be what 9 in the morning for you?

8:30. And who needs coffee when there's stuff like this?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't want your sick twisted perving on my thread. Tim Horton's roll up to win is akin to sacred happiness.

Go perv on Kate's threads, she likes it.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

I would be extraneous there.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well she can't perv on her own can she?
Im not sure I want to ask that question.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think you have outdone yourself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

You've taken something sacred to most Canadians and a few New England area residents and twisted to your own needs and deprieved desires.
EVIL!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

My mom entered me in a contest when I was a lad and I won a basketball, an ugly Gatorade dufflebag, and two tickets to a Bulls game.
A few months before that I won something through some Dunkin Donuts promotion...can't remember what though.

You may now return to discussing goalies...Hasek RULEZ U R ALL GAY!

Hey, hold on! Nicole is in Michigan and clearly she worships at the shrine too! Do not exclude.

No your too far south, you have to wait a year or so, upstate New York, Michigan, Ohio I believe have their share of Tim's.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

163 stores currently in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Maine, Kentucky & West Virgina. There was a NY Times article about getting that over 350 but I can't find it.

From Tim's website last year:
"150 in the U.S. (located mainly in the Buffalo, NY; Columbus, Ohio; and Detroit, Michigan areas."

I just finished listening to The Carpenter's 'The Singles 1969-1973'. SOMEONE CHEER ME UP NOW.

What kind of muffin are you gonna get there, rogue-boy (**Bryan playfully pokes Noodles in the ribz and offers to buy him a drink or six the next time he sees him**)? It should be a blueberry burst!

The song is terrible (Nickleback is ours too, remember), but I guess it is sort of our "Party in the USA," or something.

Hilariously, I won my first-ever doughnut in 2011 in a hospital cafeteria after receiving my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

Timmy's franchise where I bought the coffee was directly opposite the cafeteria, just to clarify

I'm glad I never had to work at a Timmy's.

― ∞, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 23:43 (ten years ago) link

I'm in a "fuck that place and their shit coffee/wrong order" mood lately so probably no free disappointments for me this year.

― everything, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 23:45 (ten years ago) link

They seem unable to make a cup of tea without pouring fucking sugar into it and about half a pint of milk. Also the breakfast sandwiches etc have taken a turn towards McDonalds quality, the donuts are way too sweet and Timbits have always tasted like crap.

― everything, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 23:55 (ten years ago) link

The thing is, who goes to Timmy's for quality, right?

Every time I've gone it's been out of convenience or for "Aw, fuck it, I don't feel like thinking of where to eat" reasons.

― ∞, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 04:25 (ten years ago) link

one month passes...

It's taken me a few weeks, but I am beginning to accept the reality that blueberry fritters are gone and they're not coming back.

― clemenza, Saturday, 22 March 2014 13:32 (ten years ago) link

Also: I think the whole two-chances-to-win thing is a ruse. The odds are supposed to be 1 in 6. I'd estimate I've bought 30-40 coffees the past month, and I've won three times--1 in 12, maybe (ignoring that it's 1 in 24 if you count each cup twice). I don't know how to do the math, but my guess is that the probability of a 1/6 event happening 1/12 times over 35 trials is low. I'm forwarding this post to Oliver Stone.

Nothing this year at all.

Going through the drive-through a few minutes ago, I got a "Congratulations" as I handed over a free-coffee scrap. First time that's ever happened. Appreciated, but not really necessary--and I felt very little joy as the transaction was completed.
