    I think he's the brother of the 'double rainbow guy'.

    It sounds like they both swallow fat gherkins too.

    Those things actually work pretty good. I have the original one, "Mr Sticky". It's the red one.

    I use it for everything, seriously. Even to do the carpet of the truck and on the cats. One thing that the above commercial didn't include is that sometimes just water doesn't do the job when cleaning it. Per Mr Sticky instructions you have to use dishwashing soap because handling it, your oils keep the silicone from being sticky.

    I do agree that the guys making these vids are a bit over the top (real or satire?)...


    but, you have got to admit...the big locomotive engines are an awesome example of mechanical engineering. and the old ones that still are in service (for show or otherwise) are extra cool.

    I agree.

    however, everyone shows their excitement in different ways, and for different things.

    been to a sporting event lately? some would say sports fans make these train guys seem tame.

    Used to be an account manager at a few different banks, and had a couple of clients have this happen. Auditor showed up at the door, and look around. Happens a lot with "cash" industries, like contractors. But apparently enough to not worry them, judging by my relatives toys and his meager reported income.

    Another client they gave him an estimated penalty of $30 000, based on his ginormous house. He was on disability. He just laughed, and pulled the $30k out of his account where he put his money from his pot proceeds.

    so...

    you are telling us that you worked as an account manager at several banks, and you knew of illegal deposit activity...and did nothing about it?

    With the drug guy, it was mostly rumours and pieced together from stuff he told me. But having seen his house and cars, something wasn't right. But given Canada's silly privacy act, I couldn't say anything without danger of losing my job and large penalties. When I was a teller, people would come in and cash their welfare cheques, wearing their latest fashion clothes, and we couldn't say boo. Had one guy start screaming at me for not cashing his cheques when he was wearing a brand new several hundred dollar leather jacket, with matching brand name shirt, pants, and leather shoes (I think it was Puma, but can't remember...it was quite some time ago). Meanwhile, I was wearing a hand me down dress shirt and tie. I can't remember what he said, but when I wanted to report him for fraud, I was told I'd lose my job for breaching the privacy act.

    My wife is a branch manager, and was telling me how if someone came in and said they were looking for someone, even acknowledging that person is known to you is acknowledging they have an account there, and under the privacy act is a chargeable offense. That was one of the many reasons I got out of banking. The under $20/hr salary as a senior account manager didn't entice me either.
