Chill PC police. :) I'm not gonna bother with the moral high or low ground on this one. It's been done to death. All's I know is if you enjoy shooting as a hobby and don't kill anyone. More power to ya. I probably won't take up the sport but it is tempting. I like weaponry of all kinds from military planes, to glocks, to the elegant katana. And if you so happen to be a weapon that turns into yet another massive walking talking weapon - well, that just makes me giddy.

Oh God no. . . . all this talk about guns. Have you not seen what happens when people have guns? Bowling for Columbine anyone? Oh wait, this is Canada. Carry on.

"From my cold dead hands. . . ." I saw that scene. Now imagine if Shatner lead the Gun Control lobby, just think how dramatic this battle would turn out to be. You could take it can make a movie out of it. Over acting at its finest :-)

Identical guns you say? Interesting. Is it permissible to have different finishes on said guns? Say a silver and black motif, or perhaps something in a gun metal. Would walnut be too adventurous? Is it acceptable to exclaim "are you talkin to me?!" while trying on said nouveau attire? Teach me oh Wise One.

I can see where the authorities might be concerned regarding the mid 80's relic. Simply put it looks very real, especially from a distance, no odd colors or red caps on this baby. No sir. It even has heft to it because of the diecast metal. They definitely don't make em like they used to. If I came across a guy with a gun I'd respect his piece... and give him a wide berth. Hmmm I wonder if they made a bullet clip that turns into a robot?

Excellent advice. I'm going for the Chow approach as soon as I get a Browning to complement my P38. Greg, your world is scary and wonderful at the same time. I think I'll bring my Walther to work. I mean, James Bond was able to, so why not?

And the P38 actually shoots, God bless the Japanese.

It's a Walther P38 UNCLE. ^_^ Do I have to change my attire? I'm afraid I don't have a shooting shirt... yet...

Cold dead hands eh? I like the sound of that. Might I improvise by adding 'Bitch' to the end of that phrase? Or is this strictly forbidden by NRA rules?

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

G: Any weekend you want to drop down is fine (as long as I am on the Island). Rememberance day, Holloween, call in sick for the hell of it day are also acceptable.

Drove to Grand Falls on Friday. Left Summerside with a full tank of gas. Arrived at my mom's cottage just outside Grand Falls 4.5 hours later (including a stop in Lincoin). For reference sake, normal trip time between Grand Falls and Moncton: 4 hours. Summerside and Moncton 1.5 hours. . . . Much time can be shaved going 195 kph at the expense of fuel.

Note: Being a one-man moving company is NOT FUN. I did 4 truck loads by myself. Load truck. Drive truck half-an-hour to town. Unload truck. Move articles to proper places. Drive truck half-an-hour back to cottage. #$*%ing REPEAT. Next day, I was navigating between the rafters in the roof pulling out speaker wire and replacing them with new wire and reconnecting new speakers.

I got a chance to drive my mom's Envoy. That thing is a beast. More specifically, it corners like a cow. I hate the suspension on that thing. I can feel the body rolling when I take a corner, not great when you're trying to navigate river road. The suspension is funny. You can feel the bumps on the road, but it completely dampens the feel of acceleration. Oh, and that thing stops about as well as a mac truck. I don't understand why people feel "safe" in these things. Sure, if you're in an accident you're more likely to survive. On the other hand, I like avoiding the accident all together by driving around it.

Greg, Tuan: I must show you river road sometime. I grew up racing down it when I was younger. It is also where I spun out the Corolla back in High School. It makes the Cookerville circle look like a go kart track. Going over 120 kph is pretty insane. It is narrow. Zero shoulder with a few inches of gravel on the edges. You know those white lines they normally paint on the edges of the road, they're not there because the road isn't wide enough. Past the gravel on one side, a ditch and inches futher are trees. On the other, a few thin trees will attempt to slow you down a 30+ foot drop into the St. John river. Throw in a few People's "S"-like corners and that is the fabled River road of Grand Falls.

Congrats, Paul Tracy



For finally winning a CART championship. And doing it without pansying out and driving for points, either. He was all about racing hard and going for the wins. His talents have finally paid off, and in one of the best CART seasons I can remember, too. Seeing Paul race in the early 90s was what got me seriously into watching racing, so I've been waiting quite a while for this. CART couldn't have asked for a better, more exciting season, either.

I have not joined lowmotion.org. Should I? And what can they do for me? I like to drive fast. I do not talk about driving fast as it distracts me from driving faster. :-) I'm barely "home" during the summer given my current employment. Any other time, I find myself running around doing stuff.

Planning on storing the People's Celica. Apparently my mom sold the Accord she was trying to fix up so I'm back in the market for a winter beater. Got a line on a '94 Cav, ~$2500 from a guy I know. Saw a white Dynasty on the lot for ~$1700, but I decided against it for obvious reasons. Called the insurance people. Apparently it will only cost me an additional $120/a for a second car. Anyone know someone else selling a good 10 year old car for cheap?

G: You can probably drop down any other week. Let me know before hand just in case, my boss can and has sent people to the field on short notice before. . . . Example: "Steve, here is a ticket for Florida. The plane leaves this afternoon." At least that was how it told it to me anyways.

I'm off to Grand Falls for some back-breaking moving. Later.

Having seen countless honda F1 engines explode in spectacular fashion makes me not want to see them build something that could run after me before it blows up.

Let the Americans build one first, then let the Europeans refine it and finally the Japanese can mass produce it and make it smaller and cheaper and put a Hello Kitty sticker on it. Such is the way of things.

G: I have most of Initial D on crappy VHS. I believe I have the remainder of the original series in some flavour of DiVX (I think the last two episodes are in Cantonese). Ming has stuff. As people commonly refer to them, "toys". Lots of toys. As for the unmentionables I have gotten from the internet, they will remain unmentioned. Hence the name :-)

I'm going to Grand Falls this weekend to help my mom move. . . . again. I'm starting to think she does this in an attempt to con me into driving up and visiting her. . . . and working me like a slave. Conversation generally goes like this:

Ming's Mom: "Ming-Duc, (insert random event) is going on this (weekend/day/or holiday). Are you coming to Grand Falls?"

Ming replies with his plans for the weekend which did not involve a trip to Grand Falls.

Ming's Mom: "Ok. when are you going be home?"

Ming repeats his plans for the weekend and attempts to explain why he cannot fit in a trip to Grand Falls on said occassion (i.e. work/not presently in Canada/already promised to attend other event/playing hockey/etc).

Ming's Mom: "If you don't come home, (names random tragic consequence)"

Ming weights the consequences and if truly tragic, attempts to "fit" a trip into his busy schedule.

My mom still hasn't realized I have a life (although mostly disfunctional) and I am not always available at her beck and call. Of course, whenever I ask her to visit me on the Island she always says "Oh I can't. I'm busy that day." or "I can go to Moncton. . . Moncton is closer. . ." or "why don't you come to Grand Falls instead?" When I bring up that she hasn't visited me on the Island for almost 2 years, her reply is always: "I would but you're never home," (while I'm standing in my apartment).

I sometimes wonder.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!


For truly, indeed, I have seen the 2nd coming of Christ. And this time He comes in a juicy divine sacrilicious form! I have supped upon the sweet sweet nectar of beefy goodness that is the A&W Steak Burger and nestled upon it's golden teet. I have tasted God!

Mark my words, from this day forth I shall only eat Steak Burgers. I will single-handedly re-invigorate the Canadian beef industry. I will piss off vegetarians by eating their share in meat. I will travel from city to city following the A&W Steak Burger phenomenon. I will call it... Burgerpalooza!

I swear, I'm going on an all-beef diet until the limited time offer expires, or I expire from Mad Cow, whichever comes first. And after I have done so, I will call up the fine folks at A&W to declare "Look at me bitches! I've eaten nothing but steak burgers and I'm rail thin! Take that Jared from Subway!". And thus my 15 minutes of fame shall be thrust upon an unsuspecting populace. And when they least suspect it, WANG!

Hell, I'll be so succesful that I'll open up a rival chain called Burger Wench which serves up the finest beefy treats with buxom scantily clad hoes (patent pending).

The article.

This stuff bugs me to no end. Personally, I don't even care for Grand Theft Auto. The game engine is revolutionary but the game itself (to me) is uninspired.

Let's get this straight people. A videogame can hone your ability to press a goddamn button - a button! Sure, you'll be able to lift refrigerators with your thumbs after a few bouts of Street Fighter II, but that won't make you a marksman over night.

Can someone please explain to me how a kid playing Quake, with mouse and keyboard in hand, can know how to shoot a firearm right off the bat? I'm not saying it's overly difficult to shoot a gun. I'm just saying the 2 skills are not intertwined, it takes effort, previous knowledge if you will. Lest one puts an eye out.

Videogames are not the "death simulators" so lovingly espoused by our piss-poor journalism. On the contrary, they're an escape so we _don't_ have people acting out their agressions in the real world. Not that every game can be lumped under the violent category. That's only one genre out of hundreds. I played a lot of Super Mario, but you don't see me trying to jump on people's heads to squash them. I'm not at the construction site hurling steel girders at people for many nights of Tetris either.

Grand Theft Auto has sold millions of copies. So if logic follows we'd have at the very least thousands of re-enacted murders, correct? Coupled with gangsta-rap, The Matrix movies, and Martha Stewart, we should be a country bathed in blood. Sigh, There's no accounting for the media gleefully jumping on everything.

I do so enjoy poor parenting these days. Motto: "Hey! Let's blame everyone but ourselves!". Modern society lacks simple common sense. It's far too easy for a single person to ruin everything for the whole. Hell if I were more evil I'd go on a rampage and blame it all on knitting. Take that grannies! "So how'd you kill her son? I stabbed her with a sewing needle. I just got caught up in the thrill of knitting, I couldn't stop myself officer!"

Sadly we live in a world where you can sue for spilling hot coffee on yourself. A pity really.

End rant.

I soooo own the google ads it's not funny.

I too am curious as to the whereabouts of Ms. Doucet. Could it be? Could she actually be on location courting the gallant Captain Optimus Prime? I can't say his real name because that could swing the ads in favor of a certain other franchise. ;-)

Nostalgia glosses over all
So curiosity struck me and I went digging. However, unlike Transformers, these little guys are horrid. Baron Von Joy? What the hug kinda name is that? I mean Jazz is a Porsche, and he turned out ok. Don't get me wrong, the Go-bot vehicle modes were spot on, but I think they left the transformation for a 6 year old to work out. No wonder Hasbro bought you guys out.

And don't get me started on the spin-off Rock Lords. It's a robot that turns into a freakin rock?! Ummm thanks? Pity they were all plastic, they'd make decent weapons to biff at little kids or paper weights at the very least.

Oh well, they did make a Go-bot AE86 and Corvette that combined into this fella. Not bad. I think I owned him or parts of him.

That's enough reminiscing, I gotta get back to eBay and hunt down a Mayor McCheese pull back car.

Oh dear lord, Kill Bill is awesome incarnate. Tarantino finally did justice to the art of sword play. Greg, if you haven't gone to see it yet I will drag your ass there and you will thank me. And as incentive, there's yellow feevah a plenty.

Bringing action from the likes of Ninja Scroll and Kenshin to the big screen was mother hugging brilliant! Incorporating a whole chapter with animation from Production I.G. (the best hugging animation studio on the planet) was also genius.

And now Malaysia wants to launch a rocket into space.

This is the country where a hobby among city dwellers is to go out into the jungle and catch an iguana for supper. Them's good eatin'. But the government thinks it's a good idea to send a pile of their tax money into outer space. I guess it's still better than the military, but can't we just settle all this with an actual literal dick waving contest? It would be much cheaper. Don't know how Malaysia would do, but I know I could step to the plate and do my patriotic duty if called to serve for my own country. *sheds tear* *hand on heart*

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
...Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore',
...While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
...And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.
..."'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my cheap hardcore!" -
Quoth the server, "404".

Word up G Dawg, I can only surmise that you were curious and we'll leave it at that. Next time, try to weasel your way into an RX-8 or something a bit more substantive, say, a BMW M3. :)

I can pick up Al at the bus station if necessary. An approximate time of arrival would be nice though. Al, you can call my cell, 902-954-1427, with your ETA if you end up on the bus.

Greg: Do you not like Chantal? Can you not spare a few hours to see her arrive back in the maritimes? Honestly, don't you think seeing Chantal is better than sitting around in your trailer playing on the PS1 or whatever people do in the trailer park? Come on Greg "Where's the Love?"

Friday update

I got an email from Miss Doucet, she will be staying over. Ok gentlemen, this is how it works, I get to hit on her first. Pending the ensuing restraining order, the rest of you may draw straws. Be forewarned I'm breaking out the "big guns" of pick up lines. Like "Hey baby, wanna Sim-Fuck?"and my personal favourite "Y'know, the most sensual part of a woman, is the boobie."

Hey Greg, read your email.

I just want to know if I could get a ride to Moncton with you this weekend? I'd certainly be remiss in not seeing Ms. Doucet upon her arrival.

G: What has Ming been up to? After I finished cleaning the apartment, a few people from Whitehorse dropped by (friends of a friend). I've been hanging out with them a bit. The great Canadian climate pulled a fast one on me and I am now stricken with my first cold of the year (damn this sucks). Right when I decide to take a week off! Bastards! There is no justice is this world. I've been pumping obscene amounts of water and orange juice plus as much sleep as possible.

Had 3 out of 4 computers running a counter-strike LAN game earlier today (laptop, the main Linux Box, and the new XP box). Along with a few guys, I proceeded to lay waste on anything that moved.

Have to rest up. My mom is coming down to Moncton on Tuesday for a little birthday get together. Hockey on Wednesday. Chantal on Friday (Greg do you have more of that poster board?) Up to Bathurst on Saturday for a wedding (as long as I'm feeling a lot better). Maybe I should take another week off. . . .

Well, back to bed. . . .

Oh, but they do (only in the US). It's called the Lancer EVO VIII, maybe you've heard of it? :) The 7th gen version was in 2 Fast 2 Furious as you may recall. We can't get it in Canada due it not passing our stricter bumper laws. But that's a bit over-kill to compete with your bro's WRX, don't ya think? The cars aren't even in the same class. You could go down a notch, oh wait, nevermind, anything below the EVO in Mitsubishi's North American lineup wouldn't be able to compete with me. *cheeky grin* And ya wonder why they're losing market share? Barenaked Ladies anyone?

For the record, I dig Mitsubishi Japan, just as I do Nissan in it's home country. As for their North American counterparts...

Finally. . . . THE DUC has come back to Summerside!

Got everything on the ship fixed and nothing came up after RTF, so I got green light to leave a few days early. I should have left on Tuesday though, but Eric wanted me to "stay and make sure all the issues were closed" before I left. So, I essentially SAT ON MY ASS for 2 frigging days on the off-chance the customer found something wrong. Of course that wasn't likely happen since the customer wasn't using or even looking at the sim. Whatever makes management feel better.

Anyways, managed a trip to Amsterdam this time around. Interesting story, but that will have to wait for another post as I am frigging tired right now.
