The place had 15 thousand people...And they are in Toronto for 4 nights and now they just added a couple more at the end of the month. All the shows were sold out within seconds...
Leith...Rethink what you said now. I doubt that many people even know who you are Wink

Courtesy of my friend Rick in D.C. (complete with the commentary he sent me via e-mail).

In November 1970, a dead eight-ton sperm whale washedup on a beach in Oregon. The task of removing thelarge, rotting carcass was given to the department incharge of maintaining the highways within the state.Their solution was to stuff the whale with a half-ton of dynamite and blow it up. The result was largechunks of whale blubber falling from the sky, and spectators running for their lives. Oh yeah, it wasalso caught on tape by the local news. Thirty-seven years later, it is now on YouTube for our viewing pleasure.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0sNE9k8mZ1w

EDIT - this was a response from a mutual friend CCd on the e-mail. Its as funny as the video...

my favorite line was "because nobody wanted to cut it up." This is what happens when idiots are put in charge of public works... what did they expect when they assigned it to highway people (not that the highway people were idiots -- they just solve problems using the huge cock method)? the plan was to blow it up and let the seagulls take care of the rest? You know there was one guy at this meeting (who probably had a mustache) that was thinking to himself "this is my chance to blow some shit up, I should probably take a shower and put on my suit that I wore to my wedding (and haven't worn in tens years since) and wake up before noon so I could offer my two cents to a group of people that are in charge of whale removal." hereafter referred to as the whale action removal sub committee or WARSB

The Joe Kelly method (I go by joe kelly when I'm angry and accusatory): pick that shit up with a crane and dump it into the ocean. They have moved live whales in the past, right? The people at the aquarium don't stand at the edge of a tank and hold a whale snausage and try to bait the whale in the tank, quickly closing the doors and muttering, "gotcha bitch." How come no one put 5 cents into a pay phone and called up the Shedd Aquarium? The guy said that they wouldn't bury it because it wouldn't be buried for long... how is that possible? a) no one is going to want to dig up a whale b) if they do, good for them -- if they want to go through the tedious task of mounting a whale on a fireplace right in between their belching contest award and autographed picture of the owner of pabst blue ribbon, then by all means let them attempt that task. and film it. and put it on youtube.

Lol, I let the first one go man...but that second one was just bad Leith. I demand you try again! Third time is a charm!

On a high note, your last post was cheezy enough to be called "Bond-esque"!

"The demolitions team placed a load of dynamite inside the sperm whale. Then, they blew their load and sent sperm whale everywhere!"

"It took this reporter hours to get every last bit of sperm whale out of her hair."

"We have unconfirmed reports that the explosion of the sperm whale was premature, and that no one was quite ready for it to go off that soon."

It seems to me that the Highway Patrol should have charged tickets for the onlookers.

If only there was a humpback whale for our lonely sperm?

The pimp on the corner: "Wow, best money shot ever!"

hmm I have an idea on how we can advertise this game on here a bit. once we get all our stuff together with the video and a wiki we should put some money together somehow and sponsor a week here at uF. the person that does it should have an avatar that shows what we are about kinda. its shown on the top of the screen on every page on uF. whats better advertising than that?
