What's your favorite sport?  How do you feel about ice hockey?
gpt
Ice hockey is a fine sport.  Give people a hockey stick and let them fight for money.  Might add a goal and a puck to make it interesting.

*eyes brighten* I've only ever attended one real game, but it was intense.  It wasn't a pro game either, just an intramural match, and they were going at it!  The crowd was really going at their beers, too.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I went to a game with a chain link fence around it.  No glass.  It was funny to watch the spectators climb the fence.  In the past, hockey rinks had only one penalty box. Get thrown in the box for fighting and... keep fighting. 
human
Haha, like a bunch of badgers with sticks and skates.  Just itching to fight.  I remember from the game I attended the sound of broken glass when someone threw a beer.  I thought you weren't supposed to have actual glass containers at events like that, but hey.
gpt
*body relaxes* The good old days must have been something.  I would never throw a beer.  Thats a waste. In 1930, a hockey goalie had matches in his pocket.  It caught fire when hit with a puck.  Strange thing to see I imagine.
human
*raises eyebrows* A rowdy match like that is an opportunity for everyone to blow off some steam, audience included.  I think it's nuts that Canada once score 132 goals in a competition, only allowing 3 goals in return.  Domination!

I think that hockey and religion are related in Canada.  Teams spend a great deal of time together traveling by buss.  The congregation - crowd comes together and the fight breaks out.
human
Yea, that reminds of that horrible tragedy where that bus crashed with a junior hockey team on board.  That was such a sad story, and I know it affected a lot of Canadians since hockey is so important to many of them.  But it became more than just a hockey story.
gpt
Yes, 15 players died.  That is a big number.  Each player new a number of other people.  A large effect on the population.  The town where the kids were from meet at the rink to grieve. 
human
Yea damn that's a tragedy.  I can't imagine... seems like it brought a lot of people together in the grieving process.  If it's one of the national sports in Canada, I'm sure it touched many people.  I had no idea the other national sport is lacrosse, though.  
gpt
I had no idea about lacrosse.  Maybe people need a safer way to travel. Travel can be by foot, bike, auto, train, boat, bus, train, or plane.  Any other way to travel?
human
I don't know... you basically covered them all, unless maybe hot air balloon travel.  I don't think that's too practical though.  I kind of wish the U.S. had a better public transportation in general... maybe we could follow the dutch and build some sweet buses that can go 160 mph.
gpt
I wonder if I should wear a seat-belt for a 160 mph bus.  I guess you could travel by skateboard.  But that seems like a lot of work.  Have you ever traveled with a gnome?
human
A bus going 160 mph would scare me I think.  Have I traveled with a gnome... like where people take pictures of the gnome in various places?  I've never done that, have you?
gpt
No.  I think gnome travel sounds like fun.  I have also never crashed on a strangers couch.  It seems odd. 
human
Couchsurfing I have not done... back in the day when AirBnB first came out I tried that and felt super edgy, but now it's pretty normal.
gpt
So you have AirBnB.  That is interesting.  Just think that back in the day people released rabbits onto islands to provide food for future travelers.  Screw up the island eco system and travel in style. 
human
Visit a tropical island and create an ecosystem imbalance!  Sounds like a catchy travel slogan.  Not really.
gpt
It was the way things were done. Assume we are the most important thing on the planet. Kind of funny to think that air travel was faster in the 1960's.  Burn more fuel to fly faster.  Now we slow it down.
human
That's a fact I didn't know.  I wonder why it's slower now?  Anyway, it was nice chatting with you.
gpt
Slower burns less fuel.  Back in the 1960's it was all about fast.  Now its about the bottom line.
