Singapore Law
I had a good chuckle over this article. Thought I'd share it with you. Apparently the act of fellatio is illegal in Singapore. So is chewing gum (problems with littering). The penalty for importing, possessing, or selling chewing gum involves

I had a good chuckle over this article. Thought I'd share it with you. Apparently the act of fellatio is illegal in Singapore. So is chewing gum (problems with littering). The penalty for importing, possessing, or selling chewing gum involves
"a fine of up to S$2,000 and a Corrective Work Order (CWO). The CWO requires litterbugs to spend a few hours cleaning a public place, for example, picking up litter in a park. The litterbugs are made to wear bright jackets, and sometimes, the local media are invited to cover the public spectacle. Naturally, the authorities hope that public shame will make diehard litterbugs think twice... ".Maybe it's just me, but does this public shame tactic make you wonder what they do to fellatio felons?

Fan or Fetish?
Whilst in Edmonton, I was rooting through boxes of goodies buried in the basement at my old place. I found all kinds of stuff I had previously thought lost. Found some old books, a few odd doodles, and even an extremely amateurish attempt at a fake ID, made in high school. I still remember spending a whole evening at Main Street Realty in Vegreville with Dean, using the scanner and printer to make this incredibly bogus looking thing. How I managed to NOT get caught using it still baffles me - I guess it's a true testament to how primitive the bouncers at the Shooting Star Saloon truly were.
Anyways, the oddest find during my venture downstairs was this:
Each of the four garbage bags plus the Walmart bag is wrapped around the fan head of a stand up fan. FIVE fans for the TWO of my parents! And that's not counting the numerous other smaller fans (note the one in the right corner) strewn throughout the house. Either my dad has some fetish with buying these things, or he likes to indulge in excess. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised - I came home to find they have 3 DVD players, 4 TVs, 2 Satellite receivers, and 3 vehicles between the two of them.

Two Double O Four
Well here we are, 2004. Year of the Monkey. George's year. That's right folks, this year is my year. And it's gonna start just right. Technically, the year of the monkey doesn't start until Jan. 22. That also happens to be my last day of work in Vancouver. More on that, X-mas updates, and the freak snowstorm that gave me a day off work later.
For now, a story about my hair dressing skills. Now I didn't take Beauty Culture in school like some of you, so I'm rather surprised Tangie trusted me with a pair of scissors and her hair that had been growing out for over a year. I ended up chopping a full 12 inches. As a point of reference, I've included a ruler, and my dog in this photo.
Any of you need a trim?
