    Thanks, Hugh. Never know!

    (and that is one close-up photo)

    I'd never do the ferry thing anyway as I'm semi-claustrophobic and have no sea-legs.

    The ferry that runs from Tsawwassen (or however you spell it, its outside of Vancouver) to Sidney (outside of Victoria) is big. You don't need sea legs for that thing. It's a tank. It holds about 400 cars and a boatload of people (There's about 3/4 million people that live on Vancouver Island. About 350k in the Metro Victoria area). As the Ferry is big and has ample room outside and inside, you won't get claustrophobic on them. They're very smooth sailing.

    On the other hand the ferry that comes over from Port Angeles is really old and small and can get wobbly. I've never taken the Seattle-Victoria Pedestrian ferry but its not that big, so that might cause claustrophobia issues. I still want to try out the ferry that goes from Sidney to Anacortes (which is outside of Bellingham). It's a 2 hour ride. Unfortunately it doesn't sail very often.

    Zod, I should've said never "again", as the only ferry I've been on was the one (relatively fair-sized, I think?) from Dover to Calais years ago and aside from a few bouts of feeling normal, I hated it! Felt nauseous, crowded, and just wanted to get off.

    Hugh - no, the pic Hank posted!

    They don't even run the ferry in rough weather anymore. I get super sea sick. I'm always drugging myself when I go out boating with friends and what not. The BC ferry really is smooth. They don't run it in harsh weather. Half the route goes through islands so it never really gets that deep (the deeper the water the bigger the rolls).

    I took the ferry over from Wales to Ireland (and Northern Ireland to Scotland). Both were pretty rough compared to the BC ferry. I was heavily medicated :)

    Dude 200.00 bucks for a ferry ride from Seattle to Victoria is hardly big bucks and if you think it is you are even less intelligent than previously thought, it is actually cheap, and the band could play an acoustic set or something they don't have to have people drooling on them or hounding them for autographs, I figured it would be a great way to raise money for their charity and for them to have relaxed trip where they can fuck around little and no one gives a shit if they fuck up, the band would actually enjoy themselves in this setting.

    All these people that want to talk smack about me, don't know shit about me, everyone who knows me and that includes many fans on here, will vouch for me, I am honest and have integrity and will always look everyone in the eyes, the second you can look me in the eyes, then you can talk smack, but neither of you have the guts, your egos are writing checks that your bodies would never even dream to cash, it is easy to try and act badass behind the screen of your PC when you don't have to face them, I live in Seattle really easy to find, come on down, until then go find a bridge to crawl back under, I hate having to go into a battle of wits with unarmed men, please next time provide a little more of a challenge please

    man, so much anger here.


    Hugh you got it all wrong, I never once said I would kick his ass, I have not been in a fight for almost 30 years, not even any wrestling around, what I meant was that people that attempt to assassinate someone else's character who they don't even know, from behind the safety of their computer screen, would be far to embarrassed to show the whole world what losers they truly are, so they hide that shit out in public, and the only way I would have any intention of beating dude is with wits and wisdom and humor and compassion, I am a hippie, done far too much LSD and listened to far too much 60's and 70's music not to know that nothing is ever resolved with violence, I was challenging him to come do that shit in public and own what a hoser he was being, I figure that humiliation is punishment enough

    More famous because they have a history.
    Corner gas amplifies Saskatchewan Canadians.
    Nice to see you find humour in us people from the prairies - Regina.

    Well you have heard it twice, lol. I don't go near the place either. Half of the Canadian population is hooked on the coffee, and I don't drink coffee. I don't eat donuts. And the rest of their food is awful. Combine that with ridiculous lineups and I'll pass.

    Wanted to let you know, the best Canadian movie ever is from the early 90s, called The Road to Saddle River. It is hard to find but it is hilarious! Check it out.... Brilliant shit

    Yeah, I think it is because Canada has better corporate tax rates. BK wants to move their head office to Canada, at least that was the rumour from the CEO
