Well, Alison, there was that one time...
(couldn't resist)

i don't think i've ever said beaver that many times at once before...

a beaver story for you all:

one of my classes had a Park Warden (who's doing her PhD on beavers) from Elk Island come in and she related this story to us... (about the ferocity etc. of beavers)

There was this really fat (I mean REALLY FAT) tourist out wildlife watching somewhere... (you can pick your favourite beaver-watching place in a park... and I mean the rodent) when she somehow came between a beaver and the water it wanted to get into. Well, she was much too interested in taking pictures and harassing the beaver that she wouldn't let it get by... where it walked to go around her, she walked to get in the way, you get the idea... Finally, the beaver got so pissed off that it walked(/waddled/whatever beavers do) up to her and bit her in the leg... and i mean BIT HER IN THE LEG. Head tilted sideways like it does with trees, and gnawed right in so that its teeth came out the other sides of this fat woman's leg. mmm mmm mmm! Gotta love beavers. With their help, we will rid the world of overly fat (I think she said like 350lbs) ignorant and rude tourists who most likely drive those massive tanks of SUVs and RVs through parks and put everyone else's lives at risk as a result of their actions... particularly the wildlife, but ours too.

another beaver thing of interest. Argentinians about 50 or 80 years ago introduced beavers to the very southern tip on some of their islands in the hopes that they might generate a fur industry (beavers are only native to the northern hemisphere). Instead, the beavers grew heavier greasy pelts to deal with the cold and wet and took over! They're now worried that the beavers will colonize the mainland and slowly invade northward until all of South America becomes decimated by beaver populations. And they say Canadians aren't ferocious...

and on a completely unrelated note, there will be no ice cream sandwiches for you, just for me, that is all.

Good news for all!
Family Guy may be coming back.

I missed 24 again last night... but that's ok, it was due to MarioKart --. Thankfully the internet came through once again and here it is.

Last weeks episode... pretty good
and
This weeks episode... Uber good

I'll agree with those two about the new Mario Kart. Although when you first start, you think "Sure I know the old one, lets just go to 150 CC's"... yah, bad idea 'cause it does take some getting used to. And the two players on one car feature kicks ass. One player focus's on driving, while the second uses items and smacks around the other cars. Good stuff.

Hi all!

Another useless post... Bye!

I'm tired, I'm cranky, and it's 2:30 in the morning...


... I hate group presentations, especially when half your group is AWOL 80% of the time...

Alison

You take the fun out of everything- i enjoyed looking at the ugly fish with having no reason.

AND in case anyone was wondering- i still hate Comprehensive Program PLans

stating something from what would seem like a really long time ago, Ed, Beavers do not seem to be the destruction of everything... instead, Mulroney and the proclamation of the maple leaf as our emblem appear to have created the most harm (I just had to defend the beaver, i mean, if i don't, who will?)

and Paras, that fish... it's all "ugly" because it's ready to mate... I know, sounds weird, but some fish actually generate hooked mouths during spawning season, especially salmonids (Salmon species) and only the males get it... be glad you're not a fish! holy cow am i a loser!

Andy-roo, I apologise for not saying this in a more timely fashion, but happy belated birthday!

Finally, Peter, the wazoo:
wa·zoo ( P ) Pronunciation (wä-zoo)
n. Vulgar Slang
The anus.

to hear it pronounced, go to: http://dictionary.reference.com/help/ahd4/pronkey.html (again,
too lazy to make it work in html)

additionally, thank you for the Brick Testament, very enlightening, and fun to try to explain to people who walk into your computer session...

well, time for ice cream sandwiches.
