They actually don't have popcorn...
They do, however, have mini pizzas & hot dogs. I'm sure something could be done with that.
Oh, and hard as a freaking rock candy.
I was actually thinking Little Caesars pizza that's a week or so old, like they like to serve at Calumet High School.

The way I see it, it's got to be stale and greasy for maximum stomach churn, so the Sneezers would work. Just leave it sitting out on the concession counter and shut everything else down.

You're not going to serve spoiled pasties, poorly-smoked fish and flat beer?

Actually, the spoiled pasties could be done...
And the flat beer, hell, I'll just bring the leftovers from some sort of Keweenaw High School party!

Ooooh, I'm liking the flat beer to pair with that nasty old pizza. Flat Beast for the loss. Goalies had better beware of who is screening them, things could get smelly.

I think you should serve whatever you find at the bottom of Schmitt's Corner's deep fryer.

For those not familiar with the vernacular of the UP a "pastie" (PASS-tee) is a sort of meat pie (kind of like a camp stove version of a 'Hot Pocket') ... not to be confused with a "pastie" (PASTE-ee) like you would see covering the 'naughty parts' in a old time burlesque show.

I remember a sense of wonder and confusion during my first visit UP. I was 10 or 11 and just old enough to know what pasties (PASTE-ees) were, and what they were covering. I was in puzzled awe to see them being openly advertised on nearly every storefront.

They are also pretty common in England. Being able to get them for 2 pounds when the dollar sucked made my study abroad experience much better.

I have no reference of how much 2 pounds is, but you can get them 3 for $5 in Ironwood, MI, at a bakery place right on the main road. That is the cheapest I've found them

At the time 2 pounds = $4. It is less now, I think. Considering everything in England cost the same as everything here (example - if a soda here is $1.50, its 1.50 pounds there) and the exchange rate was double, being able to eat for 2 pounds was a godsend.

Was this pre-Euro, or do they still use pounds pretty regularly?

"Brackets look good, except we are concerned that Clarkson's close proximity to Massena might mean somebody could attend."

Apparently, you haven't watched much Clarkson hockey this year! I think keeping them in Massena may actually decrease interest.

Actually, CCT had their arena 2/3 full with the students on break for an afternoon game. Not bad for a team that's had a horrible season.

England still uses the pound. I was there in fall of 2007.

They are in the EU but have so far refused to adopt the Euro as their currency.
