Summer fun food and drink - B.C. UFO sightings increase · Sunday July 13, 2008 by colin newell
For the record, I have never seen a UFO before… lots of balloons, helicopters, shooting stars, kites, planes, gliders and, yes, even rockets… model ones. Ok. Fireworks too. Guess that counts.
But true-blue (I mean green) UFO’s. From outer space? No. Nothing yet. Still waiting.
And yet currently, British Columbia is a hot bed of UFO sightings. Lots of people calling into Transport Canada (and the R.C.M.P. [The Canadian equivalent to the F.B.I.]) with reports of objects floating, darting, ducking, spinning, glowing, and generally flirting in the sky… or above the ground.
Yea. UFO’s apparently flirt with Cows… just prior to performing the vivisection… Or they are coy. Whatever works I guess.
Anyway. Sightings are up big time. But why?
I have a theory. Yea. You figured that didn’t you?
If we look at other times in the last 50 or 60 years when there were bursts of intense interest in UFO’s and correspondingly frequent sightings – Yes, there seems to be a connection there too. Interest and scrutiny yields results.
From my reading I have discovered periods of increased activity just after World War II, during the Korean war and during the most intense periods of the Cold War between 1962 and 1975. But why then? Why in those time periods?
Well. People feel generally powerless during periods of global unrest – and generally powerless during Alien abduction and when they undergo Alien facilitated probes in their naughty regions… experiences which appear to go hand in hand.
So as Israel threatens to Blaff Iran off the map if they don’t lay off distilling corn liquor and Iran rattles the saber at Israel’s all night raves. And while the U.S.A. utters waddle shaking martial harangues at any country with an oil supply – and (thanks to the TSA) intimidates every American citizen for daring to travel within their own country without 16 pieces of photo ID…
Well, we are starting to see things… in the sky… from all this stress.
(And)The way I see it, those lucky enough to see something totally other-Worldly… Well, they are probably hoping to catch a ride… somewhere else… Like Rigel 5 or Alpha Centauri. One can always hope I guess… that there is a Planet out there somewhere, populated with beautiful young people that wear nothing but linen, never age much beyond 21 or 50 years of age, and get restored whenever they get bored – and guns, violence, pestilence, envy, greed and malice are totally foreign to their species.
Gimme some of that. I promise to behave… and not bring anything Earthly with me…
Sigh. Dare to dream people.

Air travel rant #6 milk of human kindness - tossed in the trash · Sunday June 22, 2008 by colin newell
According to a CBC report this morning, approximately 20,000 pounds of stuff was confiscated at Vancouver International Airport in May 2008 – Yup. 10 tons of virtually unopened tooth-paste, hair gel, personal lubricant, ointments and unguents – put in a landfill – so you can fly safely… Or yea, and breast milk – gallons of it apparently.
Call me crazy – but wouldn’t it make more sense to collect this stuff to be recycled to a shelter, food bank or something. Except for the breast milk of course. I’d take a pass on that.
Actually Colin… (bad sign – talking to self) – In the U.S. you can actually buy confiscated swiss army knives for $10 a pound. link
I am not sure why I find this so funny. But I am smiling.
The TSA took 13 million items from travelers in 2006 alone.
13,000,001 if you include human dignity as an item.
But I digress.
Here in Canada, it just seems to tragically wasteful and foolish.
Readers: Please e-mail me if there is something positive coming from all this waste.
Air travel rant #6 enough is enough is enough is enough is enough · Friday June 20, 2008 by colin newell
The airport in Kelowna, B.C., will be the first in Canada to test a new type of passenger scanner that creates a three-dimensional image of people’s bodies.
This equipment has been in use in the U.S. for some time now.
Why are we adopting it? Well. Because the U.S. told us to.
The security guard operating the machine sees a simplified image on a computer screen that sees where ceramic weapons, plastic explosives, grenades, Uzi’s, pop rocks or other suspicious items might be concealed.
But in a separate, private room, another officer sees the full detailed black and white image of the person’s body; boobies, pee-pee’s, tushies, implants, enhancements, warts and all.
Say it with me folks: F*ck, F*ck, F*ck, F*ckity, F*CK!
Enough. Enough. Enough. Enough. Enough of this pointless bullsh*t security.
Since 9/11, there has been a total of 2 terror related fatalities in the Continental U.S. by Al Hoo-Hoo or terror wanna-be’s.
And taxpayers are on the hook for billions and billions of dollars spent on this electronic crap.
In the same time period, hundreds of people have died at the hands of angry bath-tubs… and nothing is being done about that!

Feet don`t fail me now · Tuesday June 17, 2008 by colin newell
A human foot was discovered partially submerged in the water near Westham Island in Ladner, B.C., Delta police said Monday.
It’s the fifth human foot police have found in the province in less than a year.
I am prepared to make a declaration about this…
If you want to find out who belongs to the missing feet – simply do a head count of gangland types in Vancouver…
Or a show of hands…
“Uhm – We get it Colin!”
Yea. I figured.
Living with the Health Mullahs of British Columbia - Part two · Sunday May 18, 2008 by colin newell
Ever see something in passing (in your daily travels) that makes you totally scratch your head?
You know – stuff that does not make sense. Like kick-boxing… or child beauty pageants… or golf.
Or A stupid law or practice that defies logic?
If you have… Well…
Please, please comment on this.
Like, it cannot be just me can it?
Examples? Drive-through Coffee houses… or Fast food emporiums.
We have a No Idling policy in our city… and it is pretty darn strict.
And yet we have drive through cafes, bank machines and doughnut houses.
I have sat at the B.C. Ferry terminal while some Eco-Pig idles his SUV while he waits the 20 minutes to get on the boat – and everywhere signs… stating no idling.
The craziest thing of all? We now have a law that forbids cigarette shops or stores that sell tobacco products… from actually displaying the products.
No one profits more from the sale of Tobacco products than our Federal and Provincial government – and yet the stores are forced to cover up.
The example photo above is from Good-fellas cigar shop.
I have never been a smoker but I am starting to sympathize with smokers more and more every day.
Another crazy thing is the new perimeter law for smokers – no smoking within 3 meters of any doors or windows of any business down town… which would put a smoker squarely in the middle of most busy roads.
It is retarded… and it is your B.C. Liberal Government at work.
