17 long minutes Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").

It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!

The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Note: this random entry is served on a per-visit basis and will change if you reload the page. It will also not show up on regular RSS, Feedburner and Twitter feeds.

   Vintage! This is a random post. The year was 2005...

)arrow Well it seems this blog is going to slow down for a while. My brand new laptop’s LCD screen just died on me and I think I need a new inverter. Needless to say the odds of me finding one before I leave here are slightly worse than the odds I’ll become Miss Universe. My only hope is to find an old external monitor; if I don’t, I’ll have limited email access from the office, but that’s pretty much it...

Did I mention I hate f!$#%$&*#$*ing computers?

    By the way, if you take another look at the photo posted on your « Farewell to the Rock » newsletter... http://www.paradise-divers.com/news13.htm
    (the one with your long hair), I think you might still have one more chance at that elusive Miss Universe title, if you find the right gown of course;-) »

    « I agree with RD. You have real good chances to gain the Miss Universe title, given that long, flowing, silky, gorgeous hair of yours. Just give yourself the opportunity to try and let
    destiny and gays decide. »

We now go back to current chronological entries:

All right, all bitching and joking aside, oxygen or not, on TV or in his bathroom, watched by Oprah or his cat, he still did it. Se-ven-teen minutes and four seconds! Without breathing. And without passing out. Kudos. Now get a life. Or find a good cause! ;-)
