John is on location at Mission Raceway today and checking in every now and then. He just sent me this photo with the caption SO LOUD.

There are few sports that make remembering the “old days” as easy to do as drag racing, with its rich tradition and reverence for old cars, and this weekend is the chance for fans to relive the glory days when the Langley Loafers present the 16th Annual Re/Max B.C. Oldtime Drags at Mission Raceway Park. [Mission Raceway]

Careful on the website though, it starts talking to you after a bit. John also wanted to mention that Friday nights at the raceway are “Street Racing Nights”, meant to keep kids off streets and leave the dragging to the raceway.

Due to Alanah’s comments about cute animals and how horrible it would be if I blogged about them, I remember this commercial for Lotto Super 7. I went to YouTube and was lucky enough to find it, it makes me laugh.

I hate the mail. I hate walking down to get it. I hate how my landlord refuses to change his address and I have to sort his mail too. But most of all, I hate that my mailbox is always full of a bunch of useless flyers, considering I just huck them into the recycling bin as soon as I pull them out.

I’ve always wondered if there was something that I could do stop Canada Post from spamming my mailbox with flyers. It turns out, there is. All you need to do is place a small red sticker (about the size of a dime) near the front of the mailbox on the bottom. I tried this little trick the other day, not really sure if it was going to work or not. Not only did the mailbox lady not put anymore flyers in the next day, she weeded through everything in my mailbox and removed all the flyers currently in there.

So if you’re like me and simply put all those flyers in the recycling bin, go get a little red sticker and do one more small thing to help the environment.

Update: Looks like the CBC picked up this story about… oh.. 6 months later [CBC News] since a campaign has begun to raise awareness for the Red Dot.

Of course as people wake up from their drunken stupor, I mean… well-rested from a night of fun that involved no debauchery at all, more photos are appearing around the internet. Tony posted these ones recently, and I have to say they’re much better than some of my camera phone pics I posted earlier.

We actually did talk blogs a lot at pre-blogstock. We discussed Blogger vs WordPress, stats programs, Flickr, Facebook, and the bloggiest Canadian female of all, Raymi.

My #1 google searched post is about the potential new Vancouver Canucks jerseys [Miss604]. Well this week John was trolling the forums (wow those are REALLY interesting places btw) and found a supposed ‘leaked’ logo for our team.

Tossing even more fuel towards the flames, I thought I would chime in with the always interesting discussion about the new Canucks logo and jerseys that are going to be announced in the coming weeks. This I know based on what VP Chris Zimmerman said at the state of the franchise I attended with J.J.…

…It was a reader who emailed this into J.J., so no one can be sure on its authenticity. However, as mentioned in his post, these colors within the logo match the current color scheme on Canucks.com. Does that mean anything? No one really knows… [Audihertz]
