One of my fondest memories of going to watch the Canucks at the old Pacific Coluseum in Vancouver as a youngster was going to the bathroom and using 'the trough'. Instead of individual urinals, the bathrooms were fitted with a cool mosaic tile trough that stretched around the entire perimeter of the bathroom with a drain at one end. If you found yourself near the drain end, you could watch a veritable river of pee course past you carrying racing cigarette buts. It was an exciting introduction to Newtons third law of drinking: Every beer you drink must at some point exit your body as urine. This urinal-free system maximized the number of simultaneous users meaning shorter wait times for the bathroom. It seems fans in Winnipeg had the same thing and are lobbying for it's return. Long live the trough!

Hilarious Dan. Now if they could just invent something like that for women!

Dan as we near the end of 2011 we want you to know how proud we are of you. You have continued to amaze us with your incredible attitude and composure in dealing with your predicament. Your blog has kept us all up to date and your sense of humour has pulled us along with you. We can only hope that your determination(and perhaps some new medical discovery) will allow you to overcome your cancer.Thank you to Penny, her family, your and Penny's friends, Drs Buie and Lupichuck, all the medical staff and all the strangers who are giving you their support. Also thanks to our friends who are adding their support in one way or another from out here in BC.
Have a wonderful hot, happy holiday in Mexico and we'll see you in the New Year.
As you know Dan we are pulling for you all the way and here for you in whatever capacity you need us.
All our love
