Now that's cold!

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Canadian government, under fire because one of its ministers has been accused of giving preferential treatment to a Romanian stripper, said on Wednesday it was scrapping a program that handed out temporary work permits to foreign-born exotic dancers.

There goes my visa!

Mine too. *looks sadly down at his nipple tassels*

That said, I'm sure they'd make an exception for you if you could do that 'drinking coffee with your feet' thing... :-D

Years of yoga have left me quite limber but I spill the coffee every damn time.

Can you make your pastie swing in two directions at once? Can you make a video? Can you send it to me?

John Rickards said...

Pasties?

http://www.greatbritishkitchen.co.uk/images/cornishpasties.jpgYou, with your complicated terminology!

Regretably, my only video camera is my digicam, and that can only take about 15 seconds of clips. I will, however, attempt to capture my pasties in action and send you the evidence...

Jen Jordan said...

Ah! Now I know what they mean about Merry Christmas!

Don't cheat and just loop the tape playing backward and forward!

I can't believe you didn't know what pasties were... or are they something innocuous in the UK?

Jen Jordan said...

Damn the man! Such a liar and a tease. All seven deadly sins in one, really!

John Rickards said...

Face it, everyone loves my lying, teasing ass. :-D

Jen Jordan said...

Only if you can get those pasties going in two directions as once. Not before or until...

John Rickards said...

Behold!

My pasties swaying in all their glory!

Go pasties!... - be warned, it's a 14meg file.

I now wait for the adulation to roll in.

John Rickards said...

Hmm... it eats "/" in links.

Damn and Blast! The server won't cooperate. Unless... you're just making the whole damn thing up and all you've succeeded in doing is jumping up and down with just a slight swaying action...

John Rickards said...

Bugger, yeah, it won't work for me either.

I'll try putting a link to it on an html page, hold on...

John Rickards said...

Solved it. The link works now.

Apparently, the file extension is case sensitive. .MOV isn't the same as .mov. Weird. But now it's in lower case.

Note that it's a Quicktime file, so you'll need QT or RealPlayer to run it, at a guess. But it is there.

Just a shame you can't really make out the music, only the shuffling noise.

Jen Jordan said...

John, you really are just a tease!

Currently unavailable... uuuuuuuuuugh (insert Charlie Brown type noise here)

John Rickards said...

The link really is a good one. Just the whole domain is down at the mo. Server problems, something like that, no idea.

Keep trying.

Unless one of you can suggest somewhere I can post a 15 meg file for free. 'Cos I can't find anywhere that works. (Tried XDrive first, but they were having problems with their signup system.)
