A girl from my work was leaving so we went out for karaoke/buffet/truckloads of crappy beer. Was tons of fun! It started out calm until more and more beer came, then all the gweilos grabbed all the mics and took over. Then shit got real!

the main male culprits.

the main female culprit and Jerry.

This all took place at Neway right across from the science museum in TST East.

A bit on the expensive side, but defo worth it.

Goodbye Leslie

Leslie Nielsen has been a hero of mine since the early days. When I was a kid he was literally my favorite actor. So of a mountie, born in the great white north, Leslie has always been the clown. Leslie passed away a couple of days ago and will be missed.

I have grown up watching his films (as they were only slightly offensive and sexually suggestive) seeing as though I was not allowed to watch films that were 'damaging to the soul'. Here are a few of my favorites

This one was great. A play on the fugitive where Les must find the one-legged, one-armed, one-eyed man to prove his innocence.

all of the naked gun movies are defo a must see. Fun old-fashioned cop show where Frank Drebin finds himself in a variety of retarded situations.

I watched this about a dozen times as it was one of the only non gospel choir related video cassettes at my Grandfather's house. Classic Neilsen.

Pure Classic.

I watched this as a young lad and I remember loving it. Mel Brooks does Dracula. "Schedual?"

Watched this one when I was a bit older (as was Leslie) Great Canadian film where Leslie plays a stoned retired curler.

The TV show from where the Naked Gun trilogy spawned. We had all of the episodes on tape growing up. LOVED IT

There are others but those to me are the most memorable. RIP Leslie Nielsen!

what a pimp!

Showing Off

Today is a day off and I am sitting around the house doing eff all. It is glorious (minus the part where I had a bunk ass hangover this morn.) Last week has been a busy one. Went to a couple of shows and had some band practice etc. Had a late night park get together with Zane, Corey and myself for a new folk project we are starting up. On Thursday- headed over to The Wanch for BC Unplugged. Ned Noble/Corey Tam....... greats!
