Whatever happened to those electronically augmented pucks you could
actually see?

TV hockey has gone from the days of B/W where you could almost never
see the puck, to color TV where you could sometimes see it, to large
screen HD where you can see it about 80% of the time.

Wayne, that's fine but who really cares about the puck? At a hockey
game people want to see blood..

Ah who cares.

Just print up some more money. :)

If we keep using corn to make biofuel, we are all going to have to print
our own money just to go to the supermarket.

Want to solve that problem quickly?

We went from having a 15 month supply of corn/wheat and soybeans to
barely keeping up with demand. It's getting to the point where ethanol
has sucked up all the supply of available feed and food grains and
we're at 3 months currently.

Solution: Quit using ethanol.

If the FED and SEC don't get control of the proliferation of hedge
funds and too much money chasing too little profit forcing the funds
into commodities, you will get severe economic dislocation.

Solution: Increase capital gains on hedge fund profits. For pete's
sake, George Soros made 3 billion dollars with his fund last year
which is more than the GDP of the 15 world's poorest economies
combined.

Solution #2: In lieu of capital gains on hedging in commodities, if
investment money is rerouted into housing and infrastructure, all is
forgiven.

However, nobody listens to me. :)

PS: I called this current food issue two years ago.

Nobody listened to me then either. :)

Everybody related to SWMBO?

Went to fight and a hockey game broke out.
The fighting is what killed what feeble interest I had in it.
I'm a fight fan when they're wearing trunks and a mouthpiece.
But not seeing the puck was always a pain in the ass.

I nominate Tom Francis for President of the US....
heck..let's go all the way.. how about Prime Minister of Canada?

I accept.

Benevolent Dictatorship - you may call me Most High Holy and
Resplendent Emperor.

And my first action will be to change the size of the hockey puck to

Don't tell me you're one of those wacky Americans who encouraged FOX tv to
develop that glow/laser puck a while back.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FoxTrax

Well, if it hadn't been for you lousy conservative reactionary
Canadians who insisted on "purity of the sport", FoxTrax would be the
rule of the day.

Hell, I have HD and am a hockey fan familiar with the sport and the
puck is still hard to see.

In this case, you really can blame Canada. :)

Glowing puck. for night hockey?

Uh, I don't think I'd like that.... not one bit.

Never saw FoxTrax? It was pretty cool actually - it followed the puck
around the ice with a little blue trail so you could follow it.

Unfortunately, those lousy reactionary conservative Canadians thought
it looked to "flashy".

Hey, wait a minute - you aren't a Canadian are you?

Hmmmm....don't like FoxTrax - Canadians don't like it - Tim doesn't
like it...

Well, I'll be danged - the evidence is clear.

I can blame Tim AND Canada....

Actually, I agree with the HD thing - you can see it pretty well, but
it's more than just HD.

I was reading something a year or so ago (maybe more - it was right
after the strike was resolved) that the NHL changed the tint on the
ice a little and made the puck blacker somehow using a new black
reference standard.

I still liked FoxTrax.

There's hope for you yet. :)
