yup, the paper thing was at the end of the boston and vegas shows... not at the complex concert though. for the guitar bit in teenage wasteland, they had a grand piano, top removed, leaning up against something and one of the blue guys played it by beating on the strings with a 4 foot long drumstick with a softball sized ball at the end. too cool!

from sunpath's site: model: reserve : main :airlock main J1KS : 143 - 150 : Z.P up to 150 : 135 -150 J1KL : 143 - 150 : Z.P up to 170 : 170 it would seem that long and short would be correct, the longer one taking a larger main. i think the containers are the same width, but the longer one would put the boc in a more natural position for a taller jumper.

your in luck! check out the complex tour schedule, they are in dallas ont he 12th and 13th (sold out though), austin on the 14th and houston on the 17th. it's not their usual show, it's the touring rock concert version. GO! GO! you'll hate yourself forever if you don't! "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001

anyone else see their show? the cirque de soleil thread remnded me of it. while on my road trip/vacation the last two weeks, i caught their show at the luxor in vegas, and then on the way home caught the 'complex' tour in milwaukee. i had previously seen the show in boston, the vegas show was mostly the same, but with the bigger theatre they brought out some different instruments and did a cool laser show bit. the complex tour was by far the coolest concert i have ever been to. tracy bonham (sp?) opened. she was quite folky, not my cup of tea, but good anyway. she opened with a version of 'black dog' on the violin. next up was venus hum, quite techno. again, pretty good but not my fave music. put them with the bluemen though and wow! the sho closed with them doing 'teenage wasteland'. way cool!

almost always over the limit, but not dramatically so... just finished a two week, 4200 mile road trip through several states and provinces with teh cruise locked on 130 kmh or so (~80mph) and never even got a glance from the local constabulary. i drive a 97 BMW 318i, black, stock wheel covers. i call it my stealth-mobile! nobody sees it! although i must say it stood out in the parking lot at the NASCAR race in pennsylvania.

ZOOT: Oh, I am afraid our life must seem very dull and quiet compared to yours. We are but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen-and-a-half, cut off in this castle with no one to protect us. Oooh. It is a lonely life: bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear. We are just not used to handsome knights. Nay. Nay. Come. Come. You may lie here. Oh, but you are wounded!

i recently tried go fast for the first time, and found i had a much nicer taste, but perhaps not quite the kick of red bull. i drink red bull for the effect, not the taste though. it's kind of a shame we can't buy either of them in canada.

my favourite movie bit: TIM: To the north there lies a cave-- the cave of Caerbannog-- wherein, carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Olfin Bedwere of Rheged make plain the last resting place of the most Holy Grail. ARTHUR: Where could we find this cave, O Tim? TIM: Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth. ARTHUR: What an eccentric performance. my favourite skit bit: Four well-dressed men sitting together at a vacation resort. "Farewell to Thee" being played in the background on Hawaiian guitar. Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable. Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah? Terry Gilliam: You're right there Obediah. Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine? MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea. GC: A cup ' COLD tea. EI: Without milk or sugar. TG: OR tea! MP: In a filthy, cracked cup. EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper. GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth. TG: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor. MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness." EI: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof. GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING! TG: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor! MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph. EI: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpaulin, but it was a house to US. GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake! TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road. MP: Cardboard box? TG: Aye. MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt! GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY! TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife. EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'. ALL: Nope, nope.. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

i have seen that show a few times, and every time i do it pisses me off to no end. i know we would have ended up selling the technology to our allies, but if they had been allowed to continue, canada would have had air superiority over anyone on the planet, and the engineers would have stayed here and come up with more stuff. frickin' politicians... we've made the same mistakes again though... one gov't (the conservatives) made a contract to buy a bunch of choppers, they get voted out and the liberals promplty cancel the contract and end up paying huge penalties for backing out, then they turn around and award a similar contract to buy choppers. meanwhile, our forces (or was it the coast guard?) are stuck with sea kings that are barely air worthy. oh yeah, and the cast-off subs we bought from the brits. one had a big dent in it and aonother one leaked. the west edmionton mall has a larger operational submarine fleet than the canadian military!

i wish there was a sort-of selection in the poll... i have a class 1 license (i get to drive big trucks!) and as a result, i am required by law to take a complete physical every 5 years. starting soon ( i don't know the age), that will drop to a 4 year interval, then continuing down to when i am 60 ( i think) when it becomes a yearly thing. tack on a driving test to the physical, and make it accross the board (not just truckers, that's discrimination as well isn't it?) and we would have a good system. i am sure that when the time came for them to pull my ticket, i would kick and scream, but if i can't pass the test, i have no right to be on the road. i have the right to be tested, and perhaps re-tested if i feel i have been wronged.
