ginger beer and roaming insurance dealers

the other night erin shaw - pal, lawn order client. tv host and all-around great gal - asked me if i was interested in going with her to granville island brewery and trying out the new ginger beer they were handing out...and i can only assume bottling up and selling to an unsuspecting public...sure, i'll go. now, i dislike ginger in general. just for the record - though i do like ginger snaps and ginger ale...but that sushi ginger or ginger they,whoever they are, cook with, i'm not down with that. but i was willing to give it a go and since i find erin engaging/entertaining and willing to poke fun at those that would be around us, i was really in. we were thinking of heading to topanaga as well afterwards but i had to put a stop to those plans - that would be made up for later - as the hawks were going to eliminate the flyers and i wanted to see chris pronger's sad little face after it happened...which i did. so great.
the beer was beer...thrilling? nope. did i want to have a second glass? hell, i didn't finish my first...but they did have some sushi gratis and did get to see some interesting folks...ok...i'm lying...well, not entirely. i did see some interesting folks - including my next door neighbour who kept saying, "hey neighbour, hey neighbour...." and i did meet erin's co-workers who were good guys but then i noticed something...there were a lot of very strange looking folks there. guys who looked like barbabra streisand, a guy who looked like a duck, another guy who had pants on that the fabric had all 'pilled-up' right in the ass area so it looked like a bad over-used pillow, and joe leery was there too....who looked like a walking jaundice advertisement with blonde tips...it was awesome...i also found out, and this is to be filed under the good category, that erin is gonna be in a reality tv series shot here, that i will not reveal the name of unless i am given the go-ahead...erin may also be in a little project i'm working on - more on this as it develops....anyhow...we drank, ate some sushi and got the hell out of there. erin caught a bus home, i watched the flyers lose. it was a good night.
ok. so this may come across like an infomercial but i just want to make your life a little easier. i really do. a few years ago i met nicole. i think it may have been when i bought the element. nicole sells car insurance. but nicole is one of the insurance people who drives around and brings your new insurance papers to you - wherever you are. she keeps track of when it's due, if your car needs aircare, etc. and she'll meet you whenever and wherever. so if you're like me, it makes it so much easier. anyhow. all i'm saying is this, if you need insurance - and you will - give nicole a call. i endorse her. make sure you tell her garn sent you - and no, i get nothing for any of this...no kickback...just sayin'.
