  • eh...i could build a better costume than that...except right now i'm busy building a tubgirl-themed chocolate milk fountain...
  • Our new sedimentation tank reduces fecal coliform levels by 45-55%... now say "Hidy Ho!"
  • Mr Floaty is returded!
  • Hidy Ho!
  • Couldn't get much from the link, but it did remind me of the time my alcoholic mom impulsively picked up me and three friends out of school to tour the local sewage plant. "Hi, we came to take a tour! I wanna know where it goes!" It was pretty instructive.
  • I did a Google to see if there was more info on Mr. Floaty, and nothing really came back. I thought it was an interesting form of protest (or getting your idea out) as well as silly as heck :) My parents took me on a tour of the local "steam power plant" (read: nuclear power plant) once. I learned a lot, too. But most of it was scary.
  • Here's a little more on Mr Floaty in case anyone is interested. (I hope this works, as it is my first try at posting something here)
  • Hmmm...wild. I actually know Mr. Floaty! They'll be holding a "Toilet Regatta" where boats with old toilets are raced around the Inner Harbour. I'm not sure of the exact date though. The sewage issue in Victoria is just stupid. We literally just dump our shit right into the ocean but somehow we have $30 million to spend on a brand new arena. Shameful.
