This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition and 2018 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Which, of course, becomes an even bigger problem if the building actually is on fire....

While I hope the Rap can push the Bucks into a 6 or 7th game and maybe pull another miracle shot to move onto the finals, the Bucks are a better, deeper team that should get past Raps. I'd happily be wrong, of course, but can't see Bucks losing more than 2 games at most.

Oh, of course. Take any win. But man, it would be nice to take a good lead and maintain that margin to the very end of the game.
I agree.

Yeah that was a tough and long game. Wish they won the first game. I dont think they will get another chance like that of taking a game from the Bucks in Milwalkee

Curry and Green each with regulation triple-doubles in Gm4 (1OT) to sweep POR for 5th straight finals berth.

Just bought my mlb.tv subscription for the year. Hopefully the Jays will start playing some real baseball sometime soon.

I wanted to send a carrier pigeon but I would have needed @24left to find the best options with a search. I just randomly call out for her anytime I'm in an MLL now. One of these days it'll work.
