The Real World

It came to our attention this morning that if we had been the adult cast of a Real World season, we would have gotten poor ratings and canceled after the first day or so... why, you ask?... because -although 6 of us have been living under one roof and sharing 2 bathrooms- all of us are still alive and well! --Barely.

By now, you have heard about the Vancouver, B.C. riots... RIOTS... Yes, we were there. We didn't start that riot... it was always burning, since the world --oh, nevermind.

Our day in Vancouver. What to say about Vancouver. Shall we describe the charm of the resident transients? The exuberant energy of the Canuck fans? The aromatic scent of pot wafting in the breeze? The blue-haired tranny who served us toasted coconut prawns for lunch?

This is a view of the epicenter of the riots... CBC was broadcasting here. About an hour after this picture was taken, fans ripped down the screens and started beating each other with the pieces, flipping cars over & setting them on fire, and looting the local businesses. A good landmark is the "Canada Post" building... look for it in the pics at the news link below:

Toronto Sun (be sure to look at the pics in the slideshow)

Needless to say, Vancouver was a hot mess and we were glad to get out of there. Especially with views like this one waiting for us back at the ferry:

We have mentioned the culinary expertise of British Columbia... that even the fast-food fish'n'chips are to die for... but have we mentioned the DORITO FLAVORS?!?!?!
