I once saw the guy from the Canadian Tire ads in the MLL in Montreal. He was flying to Toronto like me. Our flight was delayed due to mechanical problems. How come he didn't have a belt sander or portable de-icer to fix the issue?
(Actually, I lied about the mechanical problems delaying the flight. It was delayed due to weather in Toronto. But the post isn't as funny without the punch line. But I did seriously see the Canadian Tire guy in the MLL in Montreal.)
I have also seen David Miller (Mayor of Toronto), Dr. David Sukuzi, Ruben Studdard (from American Idol) and Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhuru from Star Trek).

Ken King in the Calgary MLL ... In a black suit and black tie, with velvet loafers. Passed by him and said "great game, keep it up" (where we destroyed Vancouver, albeit 2-1)... Think he was shocked, and only managed a smile. Reading some big book at the moment.
