Man, don't hold your breath.
Sorry Serena. LOL I would be gladly to help you out or be one of those extra helpers if you know what I mean.

No worries, mate! Nice thread, Dean.
We've had many new members join since the last time anything like this was posted. It's always interesting to learn a bit more about our fellow members. I'm from Michigan in the United States--you know, the state shaped like a mitten.
The Great Lakes State, surrounded by the five Great Lakes. It's a beautiful state, especially further north and in the Upper Peninsula, where we have many National Forests, where I just love getting lost for hours and camping when possible.

I'm from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where Exit Wounds was filmed (and living now in the area where it was, in fact, filmed).
Toronto is the largest city in Canada, taking over this number 1 spot in the 70s when a mass exodus from Montreal, then Canada's largest city, occurred as a result of threats of separatism from then premier Rene Levesque. A lot of companies whose head offices had been in Montreal didn't like the sound of that, and they packed up and fled, as well.
Toronto Blue Jays (baseball) won the World Series - two years in a row! (But alas, not even a pennant since then, I don't think). Our hockey team (locked out by a strike this year) last won the Stanley Cup in 1967, but Toronto hockey fans are a rabidly loyal bunch, and even with our team never making the finals, the stands were always sold out (though after the lockout this year and all the whingeing by the players' association about how hard done by they'll be if they give in to salary caps, this may change).
Our basketball team, the Raptors, were foolishly named for the nasty beasties in the most popular movie in the year they became a franchise, namely, Jurassic Park. (Our Raptor is a very friendly looking purple one, possibly because of that other purple dinosaur that everyone wants to kill on sight....)
There are rude jokes about what the CN Tower and the Sky Dome (now renamed Rogers Centre, bleh), being side-by-side (and with Sky Dome opening up the way it does) represents....
We have a castle in the middle of the city. (Built around 1906, as a royal residence, but never used as such.)
We have been described as the most multi-cultural city in Canada (and possibly North America, though I'd have to check that).
However, Toronto is the ONLY city in Canada that does not have either the autonomy or the legal right to protect its historical buildings, and they are being demolished or incorporated into new construction to their detriment at a shocking rate.
Thus endeth the ten-cent tour of Toronto!
