What kind of a name is 'XXX'? Not that I'm complaining ...

Apparently, Vin Diesel got his big break when he was working as a bouncer at a night club (Not a surprise. That guy's a tank!) According to Maxim, or one of those other magazines, he was 'discovered' when he punched out Jean Claude van Damme's bodyguard. Just an interesting gem of what Hollywood looks for nowadays.

Speaking of gems, this was in the National Post, front page mind you, two days ago:

"The nation was braced for the piteous spectacle of a frail pontiff on his last legs, and collectively had mustered up the hideously cheerful sort of "There there, isn't he doing well?" pat on the head with which the elderly are so frequently greeted.

The nation was in for a bit of an up-yours."

-Christine Blatchford.

Now I'm not a religious person, and the pope has about as much symbolism for me as any other guy in a phallic hat, but any man that has enough pluck to make a national newpaper use the phrase 'up-yours' on the front page is cool with me.

I like this song. Might have a place in Black Angel at some point. Good for fire chains.
