Judd is known throughout the area for his driving antics. He's received more traffic tickets than all of us combined, most for some form of "tractor-pull" violation. Tractor-pulls are legal of course provided that both drivers are voluntary participants, but that's where Judd gets it wrong.

Last Tuesday he received his second citation this month for pulling a rusty Zamboni down main street.

Denise grew up in the small BC mining town of Vancouver, leaving only when it was devastated by heavy mist in 1982.

Vowing to drive off the wetness and restore her hometown to glory, Denise brought in thousands of large portable heaters.   The plan was a success, and the resulting warmth attracted streams of grandparents back to Vancouver where they created the now-famous colony of Grand-ville Island.

Ned worked for over 47 years as a "retro-journalist", with an uncanny ability to convey information using only primitive tools. He became famous for his 'old school' reporting style, but his career took a turn for the worse when competing reporters embraced air travel and arrived on-scene more quickly.

A desperate byline change from "Ned's News Hour" to "Ned will get you the news if you'll just wait a bit" didn't help, and ultimately he was forced to turn in his teletype machine and join Wondermill as a programmer.

We're glad he's with us, even if it means cleaning the white-out off his screen.

Roben's career began when delivering General Gau's Chicken to remote villages in Tuvalu.  Customers began asking for him by name because no matter how far he drove his cooked chicken always arrived hot.

Instead of using a box as the other drivers did, Roben placed the chicken directly onto the spinning rear wheel of his scooter.  Deliveries were slower due to the braking effect, but in a country where a good chicken is a rubbery chicken Roben became a star.

Four months later, Roben brought his "rubber chicken" to North America and the rest is history.

After watching a Tony Robbins infomercial, Ryan decided to pursue his childhood dream of becoming an "inspirational horticulturalist". When pursuing his PhD his primary research method involved the combination of self-help sayings with vegetables from his mother's garden.

After four years of tweaking he had a breakthrough. Along with countless batches of cheerful tomatoes, he had produced an insuppresible turnip. Ryan now tours the self-help lecture circuit singing crowd favourites such as "can't keep a veggie down" and "up with purple."
