Vancouver Blog Finds: From Hair to Eternity with Pirates

*Susan Natalie looks at another possible upside to Anne Heche's shot in Vancouver and likely to be cancelled before December comedy Men In Trees. "Definitely a good opportunity for local hairy-guy actors in Vancouver to try and score walk-on parts here and there, that's for sure. But that was to be expected."

*Vanmega in a little ditty called "Springsteen Strudel" reviews the new toys from Mac that I don't really understand. "There are 2 elements from today's release which are real smart. The first is the cover browser functionality (pictured above). I was at Zulu browsing vinyl the other week, simply because the act of combing through the racks is an enjoyable experience (well... for music nerds with too much free time). I've done this and felt this way since I was brooding teen."

*As C3PO would say, "Thank the maker". Gus Greeper is back from her honeymoon and providing us what we dig about her. Shameless blogging of her in a bikini, her reactions on Steve Irwin, turtles peeing on her, and of course, her "classy travelers diarrhea".

*Darren Barefoot gives a nice little headbutt to the absoultely terrible idea of Man on the Street Interviews. "Why would I care what a UBC student thinks? I come to the media for information, analysis and educated opinion. I want to hear from newsmakers, eye witnesses and experts–not average Joes or Jills. If the average Joe is, in fact, an expert in the news story, then bring them into the studio and interview them properly."

*The dudes at Orland Kurtenblog debate what they are now calling The Kesler Affair. There's plenty of good stuff during the debate. Top three: 1. Mike says: "Of course you do, you're a douchebag too." 2. Jason says: "You are a commie." 3. Jason says: "You are an obese Marx blower."

*Dear lord. International Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming up (Sept 19). And Goldendgod is promoting a Vancouver event which promises the following: "Make yer own ship, parrot or wench to kidnap! Bring booty and swag! Remember, you are rogues! Privateers! Don’t dance the hempen jig, but plunder in the park, hornswaggle the landlubbers and win the day!" Hornswaggle? Really?
