From the Canuckistan Wilderness

Mr. Curious had a busy weekend at Cup too. Hiding in shadows, eavesdropping on boring conversations, scurrying about like a little mouse, monitoring hidden listening devices and the like. (VFTD neither condones or supports any of Mr. C's possibly extra-legal activities.) At any rate here's an item that was making the rounds at Cup and has persisted over the last couple of weeks. It is presently being denied by anyone who may be in the know and Mr. C could not confirm it as a fact. However, it is very widespread behind the scenes and not losing any momentum. So, I guess we'll see one way or the other.
The rumor concerns a large Great White North paint company. Puzzle it out. Books, both fiction and non-fiction are often divided into (fill in the blank.) The number that follows ten and precedes twelve is (fill in the blank.) And there you have it. Remember, it is currently just a persistent rumor.

That would be terrible news.

(I'm only posting this to let everyone know that I worked Baca's code out and I'm very smart and also pretty damn bored and I have no friends.)

One merger - too late to deliver. Spread the ashes of NPPL already?

Do Canadian companies do that?

But people have been predicting that for about a year.

On a related note, anyone see the little blurb on 68 caliber about Accucaps (also from the Great White North).

Anon #1--wrong post, buddy.

Anon #2--true, which is one reason the re-emergence and persistence of the rumor prompted me to post Mr. C's latest.

Reiner--yep.

Hmm...

Canukistan = Canada
Blank #1 = Categories, Sections, Pages, Edition, Chapters
Blank #2 = A number between 10.00000...1 - 11.999999...9

Aha! Filing Section 11.8, Canada is taking over Alaska! Got any more brain busters?

On a more serious note, that sucks if it's true. The only company I can think of is XO, but weren't they bought out by somebody?

GI Sportz has been circulating this rumor since their inception, plus, people have been saying this aboot (see what I did there) Procaps for years. I was told at Cup that I would hear this news officially announced in 2 weeks. That gives them until the end of this week to have it confirmed, otherwise I call major shens.
They have made some very poor decisions in Canada recently, I'll say that...

Missy was telling me some great stories at cup about another company that seems to have announced their closure.

Interesting times...

I suggest teams serious about paintball sponsorships in the future might want to sign up for some Mandarin classes to get a leg up on everyone else. :(

QFT Reiner, If I were planning a new team I would put it's roots in Asia, and call it "Malaysian legion" or something equally innovative...

How forward thinking where Fraige and the gang to already have everything branded like a Chinese Restaurant? Wow. Genius.

Missy Q said...

Don, regarding those stories I was telling, I spoke to the guys in the UK and they reckon they no longer have anything to lose by releasing the video of that 'Crystal Palace Event'. It just might happen.
While they may have nothingt to lose, there are a few people that will be featured in the vid that might have some explaining to do...

Only when its usefulness as a blackmail device has run its course...
