is that the crystal cathedral in the background? that's brilliant. see that, dr evil? there is a market for your thesis

I used to be with it. then they changed what it was. now what i'm with isn't it, and what's it is weird and scary.

agreed, but remember too that they are a minority government in an age of voter apathy. i think a lot of canadians, myself included, reel a liitle bit each time steve gets on board with the US.

someone once compared Canada living next to the USA to the Flanders living next door to the Simpsons.

je ne suis pas hux non plus, mais je suis d'accord avec "tous ensemble." dion is obviously reaching out to a significant segment of the liberal party. for my money i'd rather see Rae get the nod, iggy creeps me out.

happy birthday!!!

as well, Bob Wills and Booker T Washington will be honoured.

best post of the thread

in the words of Rowan Atkinson, "I wouldn't trust them to sit the right way on a toilet seat."

so using this logic, cigarettes and booze are the real gateway drugs.

have a great birthday, jay!

here.

the funeral was today, and there were lots of stories and pictures of marcel. his parents are lovely people, and welcomed his freak family as though we were real family. as iliana reminded all of us, marcel's favourite aphorism was a bit of wisdom from joseph campbell. "Follow your bliss."

here. so far seems like an incredible time waster. feed it some bare information about your interests and it will randomly take you around the interweb.

condoldences, cully. losing a pet is heartbreaking.

i'm halfway through the audiobook version of this (i didn't buy it, i nicked it off OiNK ) when i got to this bit, i stopped listening, and was genuinely a bit grossed out. it seemed really over the top and to not at all contribute to the story. i had no idea that this was a "bully pulpit" moment. michael chrichton is an ok author but increasingly is showing himself to be a jerkwad.

thanks for the pictures, mike! you put the chair in chairmouse

happy (belated) birthday!

chris beynon has done a slideshow with some more pictures of marcel, and they are good, i'm crying and laughing simultaneously as i write this... extra points if you can spot the "family friendly" photoshop edits yet more photos of the chairmouse - now with music.

more pictures of the Chairmouse. (thanks niffer and joni and snail and niffer and daves)

got it on right now, brad if you listen carefully, past all the bad notes, you'll hear marcel screaming and cheering in the background. he was the best benefactor a band could ever ask for.

mike, jennifer and i had a huge and much needed laugh reading your story about the chair you and sharon were so good to all of us that weekend, i will never forget that. and marcel and his giant truck did indeed split for th e west the following day...that was such a good time. February 5-05 was the day of the show...if you have any pictures from that date, please post them.
