"I have been to the Brink of Lunacy and emerged unscathed; I have scaled the Temple of the Appalling Ka and faced the heathen hordes; I have farted at a garden party and been posthumously decorated by the Queen (in a rather nice shade of lavender with some potted plants).

"A different kind of great..."

Thenao Komas



" Try to think of the most absurd, insane, crazy act you've ever seen - now double it and shout "Uruguay!" and you have Vancouver's Heartaches Razz Band.
