What time is it?

That's right, folks, it is that time of year again we affectionately refer to as 'Survey Time'. It's a chance for you, our loyal reader, to fill in an anonymous survey and tell us some valuable information about yourself so that we can then put together a pretty little spreadsheet for our advertisers.

If I didn't make that sound fun enough, I apologize, but I'm not working with much here.

As a little encouragement, everyone who fills out the form and then posts a reply to this thread in the forum with the words 'I filled it out!', will be entered into a contest draw. The winner will receive an LICD gift pack, chock full of books, shirts and anything else I can steal from Randy.

The survey, once again, can be found here.

We hugely appreciate you taking the time for this mundane task, it's important.

And in keeping with this week's theme of my Red Bull obsession, check out these pictures of Red Bull's London HQ.

I plan on doing something similar with the new BFE offices.

- Because I can.

Over my childhood and teenage years, there are many things I have seen at a glance and responded immediately with an "I want that".

As the years have gone by, and I've grown into the mature and responsible adult you see before you today, I've been fortunate that most of things I so desire, are within my reach (or so I keep telling myself, it tends to motivate me). Granted I live a rather modest life style, which suits me quite nicely, there is still an occasion where the 6 year old version of me comes to the surface to scream "I WANT THAT!".

Such an occasion happened today when J sent me an e-mail with the following attachment.



That's right. It's a Red Bull MiG Fighter.

I WANT THAT!

- Because I can.

Quote of the Day

"Don't you think their hands were shaking
As that rocket ship touched down?
I'm sure they shivered
When they finally touched the ground
And the giant leap so fragile that it hardly made a sound
But it must have been amazing
What a world they got to see
So I don't care -- my foolish fear won't get the best of me"
-Walk on the Moon, by Great Big Sea

We're Sorry

Reading the news of late, I can't help but feel that Mother Nature is intent on kicking the living crap out of us.

And as someone who resides on an island that would be flooded in a moment should the ice caps melt and water come rushing down the St. Laurence River, I believe it may be time to issue an apology of sorts. Maybe as a gesture of goodwill, we could stop clubbing baby seals for a few months?

If planet earth can be represented as a living organism, than humankind is definitely the foreign body.

Whatever happens, I think it's clear that I need to stop reading the news, and spend more of my online time searching for porn, as was intended.

- Because I can.

"Oh, so mother nature needs a favor? Well, maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys."
