So, did you pick a winner?

Looks like in my riding (Kenora-Rainy River in the hizay!) the NDP MPP (and Provincial Party Leader) Howard Hamptom was re-elected along nine other of his cohorts across the province in what looks a huge Liberal majority government.

.

Not only was it election, but it was also referendum day and looks like close 2/3's of the Ontarians who did vote (record low for voter turnout yesterday with 52.6% of eligible voters voting) voted against the Mixed Member Proportional governmental system in favour of the existing First Past the Post system. You can read a little about it here if you like, but what more do you need to know . . . not that it matters I guess I think most people just voted against it because it was different and think that our present system is the same as the one that the see on TV from the US.

.

But enough of the real news, did you know that it was today in 1981 that Andy Kaufman successfully defends his World Intergender Wrestling Champion title in Atlantic City, by defeating Playboy magazine's Miss September, Susan Smith, pinning her at the 18-minute mark.

.

And decidedly un-pron related, but no doubt the best news you'll read all day according to this article none other than Mr. Samwise Gamgee aka Sean Astin says that "Goonies 2" an absolute certainty. .

.

Hey gotta love IMDB - it just learned me that Mr. Astin will be starring as Twoflower in a BBC adaptation of none other than Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic . . . but the big question is who will play The Luggage? That's wicked, because I don't know about you, but I heart The Discworld.

If you're a fan of fantasy stories and British humour a la Hitchhiker's Guide (book of course not the movie, so much of the humour from the novels just couldn't be translated to the big screen) then you should definitely check out the Discworld books.

.

Well I should get going, gotta go up to Kingfisher Lake for the day, but before I go check out this sweet map of the Community from Google Maps . . . shit the Google Maps for my town aren't close that detailed.
