Fischerspooner are great - I was quite surprised to discover that they lipsync at their shows (which they freely admit to doing).

About 6 or 7 hours drive? I'm not certain though, I just guesstimated. At this stage we're planning on going to Fernie. The others wanted to go to Whistler but as it turns out we have a couple of friends who may be working at Banff at the same time, so we might stay there a couple of days as well. On a down note, one of my friends wants to bring her control freak boyfriend along. I don't want him to come because I personally can't stand him. The thing is, he hates skiing and I'm pretty sure the only reason he wants to come is because he's worried she'll hook up with someone else. At

Don't go to a chiro, see a physio!

I can't see the photo... ?

E, coke, etc...

I have two words for you people: VERONICA MARS!!!

Hehe. I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose, just to be embarrassing. I haven't been skiing with my parents in years but I do recall my father looking and acting like a total clown. Most notable was his complete disregard for safety - if he saw one of us kids on the slopes he would purposely crash into us and try and roll us down the hill. People would just stand there looking at us like we were insane. Ahh, good times.

Mother$#(*$#_@$!

Haha, that's awesome. The Chaser rules!!!

Yeah it's separate. I just looked up the address, it's 315-1, Kurihara, Imaichi-shi, Tochigi-ken.

Yup, Western Village theme park

Tell me about it, I work with about 20 of these self-proclaimed experts! It's the same story at Melbourne Cup - everyone turns into amateur bookies overnight... bloody annoying.

The funny thing is, hardly anyone I know gives a shit about soccer - that is, until Australia got into the World Cup. Now everyone's a soccer expert! I don't follow the soccer at all but I reckon Italy will win, purely because they have the hottest looking players.

Out of curiosity, do people do party drugs over there?

I'm seeing Pete Tong on NYE Also just bought tickets to see Broken Social Scene in February. I've only just gotten into their stuff but I've heard they're awesome live.

Hey, has anyone tried those Alcodol tablets? They're supposedly "hangover prevention" tablets. I've also heard that you can now get these tonic shots which you mix into your drinks that are also meant to keep you from feeling seedy the next day. I think the tonic is made up of electrolytes to keep you hydrated, etc. I wonder if it really works or whether it's just a scam?

That sounds awful! I get drunk way too easily - one glass of wine and I'm giggling like an idiot. This is quite embarrassing but also good in a way because I never actually manage to drink enough to be hungover the next day.

I am bitterly disappointed that I will be missing this soiree. Between the cheese snacks and the porn it sounds like it's going to be a great party.

Snobee, I go to a physio once a month for a consult and then a deep tissue rub (hurts like a bitch but I feel great for days after). Have tried acupuncture and found it to be a waste of time and money. In all honesty, I feel that my current condition is a result of being jerked around by physios, chiros and doctors. They all dispute eachother's diagnosis which makes it practically impossible for a person with an injury to get the right treatment. For years (when I was doing gymnastics as a kid) my stress fractures went untreated because my doctor chalked them up to 'growing pains'

Haha. Um, to be honest I've only ever seen them at Underwater World/Seaworld. They're scary looking and I wouldn't want to come face to face with one, but I don't fear them.

Exactly! Snakes and bugs I can handle, but spiders are ridiculously scary. :S

Gorgeous

I'm no doctor but I think it's fairly normal for men to have hair on their bodies Although I have to say, hairy backs are not cool.

Yeah! And if you ever ski naked you'll be that much more aerodynamic
