    There could be an 'unused gravy boat signing clause' hidden somewhere deep in the MLS stew. If not and the gravy boat is attractive enough I'm sure MLS could write a suitable clause.

    When choosing a gravy boat, please consider the following:

    - the handle can't be about to fall off. Newer gravy boats are probably best

    - you don't want to overpay for the gravy boat. Put an expensive gravy boat next to a tea set that you got from Wal-mart and it is going to look out of place and not function well as a unit.

    - you need to build a solid surface upon which your gravy boat would rest. You cannot put it on cement. It needs a plush surface that it was built for. It would be the pinnacle of stupidity to spend all that money on a GB and have it shatter within the first few days

    - if you want to allow your neighbours to show off their own gravy boats in your house, don't charge your friends money to come and see them. Make sure your friends know in advance that there will be a showing of gravy boats and they will get to see them as part of your ongoing relationship... because you are that nice of a guy

    Because their seems to be a history of Mo is leaning towards a "made in Canada" solution we should bring this to his attention.

This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports

    I'd like to amend my original petition, to include Quebecois Cheese Balls!

    GBs and QBCs for all TFC supporters, PB! We deserve it!

    There are a lot of things to consider: do you want used, aging GB... barely able to hold and distribute the gravy, just because it once spilled on the dinner table at Buckingham Palace? or do you want a younger, maybe south American GB, with a bit more spicy flair? Or do you want a Canadian GB...one who is influenced by all the gravies around the world?

    We're looking at it but we're not just going to jump in to the boat with our eyes closed.

    Absolutely nothing, that's what!

    Mo has tried his best to get us gravy boats. I heard he was even having cheap knockoff Royal Doulton GB's made for us in Ukraine, but the deal fell apart at the last second.

    All I know is, we've got all of this gravy, and no boats to speak of!

    I think it's a little late to be looking for GB's this year. as MLStoronto said they are looking but it takes time.
    perhaps we should ask for a large wooden ladle...

    Actually I don't think a gravy boat will do. Consider instead a gravy fountain. Nice flow, even distribution of gravy to all areas of the bowl. Spouts off from the mouth a bit.

    I saw that there is an Italian gravy boat that has just become available:

    I heard Saputo was in the market for QCBs already.

    ^^I'm sure as soon as he gets his team in MLS, he'll get the QCB and the GB straight away.

    I'm pretty resigned to Whitecaps, Timbers and Philly all getting gravy boats before we do also.

    I know it's not a gravy boat...but can we get Motts Caesars at BMO? Corona in a can would also be 100% awesome.

    Oh...and a $5 beer would be great too

    But seriously...Smirnoff Ice is weak...bring on the Caesars! If not for us...do it for Canada

    FRIEND 1: Great party, K-man!

    KRAMER: Yeah, well, you got that straight! (Turns to Elaine) Hey, Elaine, try the beef - because that's realy au jus sauce, huh. (Dramatically) Real au jus sauce!

    ELAINE: (Sourly) I'll make a note of it.

    Any rumours about a gravy boat deal falling through are rubbish. I heard from my source (who has never been wrong - he knew that Garcia would sign with us back in January 2008) that Mo was able to get us GBs, but unfortunately we used the same manufacturing company that produced the Real Madrid/TFC scarves.

    Here's a link to a shot of one of the GBs from just before they were all destroyed for having a typo:

    If we're going all fancie with "au jus" then I don't just want a boat, I want a yacht.

    I want an au jus yacht and I want it now. According to MLS rules only the first 20 oz. of a AJY goes toward the cap, so....

    isn't 'Au Jus' just a pretentious way of saying blood and grease?
