Awful Plastic Surgery

by Mike Browne on October 22, 2003

in old stuff

Plastic surgery doesn’t turn out well for everyone. It’s looking like I have to “get some work done” on the old snotbox sometime soon. I hope I don’t end up here. Not that anyone who reads this even cares.

New ferry terminal at the airport?

by Mike Browne on October 22, 2003

B.C. Ferries needs ’22 new vessels over the next 15 years’ and are considering building a terminal at YVR. An interesting idea to say the least but at the same time I can see it getting so expensive to use the ferries that no one bothers any more. Look at VIA Rail for example. They’ve priced themselves right out of the market making rail travel in Canada too expensive to even bother. I guess we’ll all be swimming to Victoria before too long.

Drinkometer – The Drink-o-Meter Test – How much Alcohol have you consumed?

Thanks to Jackson for the link. I’m not sure this would be accurate in my case as I haven’t had a drink in almost 11 years, but, at the same time, it’s fun to play with.

Hey! None of that! That’s not what I meant.

The Indiana Jones flicks are finally out on DVD. I guess George Lucas needs more cash to finance the latest in the Staw Wars films. More Jar Jar Binks all around (just kidding). Anyway, here’s CHUD’s review.

Yes, they shall be mine.

Yahoo! News – Man Survives Historic Plunge Over Niagara

How much do you want to bet he didn’t mean to be alive?

UPDATE (from Bill G): Surprise! He just might be nuts. (The Niagara jumper not Bill. Well Bill is too. Never mind.)
