“SETTING THE STAGE”
The exterior of a two-story building resting along Laurie Jack lane in BCIT is named Haida. The house runs between Willingdon Ave and a campus track field. The house has a typical campus dorm setting with true to life verve of independent anarchy, humiliation, heartbreak, loneliness, social intermingling, and academic charm. The house is mostly made of white stucco and grayish wood siding. The entrance has a faded brown stairwell and a lattice ornamented porch. This house contains 12 flats, upstairs and down. Upon entering the sound of music leads guests through the kitchen to a living room. A small turntable evokes the atmosphere and contains furnishings made of uncomfortable blue cushions for its occupants. This is the social room and it is decorated with the portraits of all house occupants on its walls. This “portrait room” expresses the spirit of the life which goes on here.

The Birth of Mario…..
Mario Brothers… No matter if you’re young or old these colorful Italian twins are still a household name. Even as I sit blogging this post my dorm mate (Rob Andrews, who at the tender age of 29) is taking some time out to play a quick game featuring this dynamic duo and make himself feel young again.
Yes, those cute and funky beats, born from the machine known as Nintendo are pumping out the living room speakers bringing a smile to Robs face and revitalize his joie de vivre. Yes, forget Don Thompson’s final and play on, play on Rob you only live once. It is your Birthday!

The Irish are known all over the world for their affection for drinking alcohol and for making some of the finest beers, stouts, ales, and whiskeys which are famous internationally.
I compiled a list of drinks for you to try this Wednesday that would make St. Patrick himself green with envy.
1. Guinness
In 1759 Arthur Guinness leased the St. James Gate Brewery and soon after began brewing the popular London “porter”. He and his family have never looked back hence, the porter or “stout” is synonymous with the family name now. No longer given away free to new mothers as a lukewarm restorative in Dublin hospitals but available on tap everywhere, Guinness is the quintessential Irish beer. And an acquired taste.
2. Alcopops
The bane of Irish society and immensely popular with the young crowd. Basically a concoction of water, sugar, food color, juice and strong alcohol. Available in many colors and guaranteed to hasten intoxication by masking the fairly high alcohol content. Also often guaranteeing a splitting headache the next morning. Better avoided unless you want a spot of seriously “trendy” Irish drinking.
3. Irish Coffe
e
Another traditional sipper, complete with a crown of whipped cream if desired. It is a perfect drink for casual St. Patrick’s Day parties or as an after dinner beverage following Irish Stew or Shepherd’s Pie.
Ingredients: 2 1/2 oz strong, hot coffee 1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey 1 tsp brown sugar 1 oz whipping cream (optional)
4. Poitin
BEWARE! Poitin is not to be gulped! If you are to drink it at all, you must sip! Poitin, illegal for centuries is the strongest alcoholic drink known to man, it would strip paint from walls as the saying goes. Ensure that it is safe, a bead batch will kill you! (I am not kidding!) Pour a tad into a saucer and light it, if the flame turns blue you’ll most likely be grand if it turns any other color, decline….Probably the best bet is to only use it for it’s more medicinal purpose of rubbing into joints to help with rheumatism.
5. Irish Car Bomb
A true classic, this list is incomplete without the infamous drink. Even though it’s not exactly one of the few cocktails enjoyed back in the homeland. Fill a shot glass with Irish creme and Jameson, drop it into the Guinness, and slam the drink down.
Ingredients: 3/4 pint Guinness Stout 1/2 shot Irish Creme 1/2 shot Jameson Irish whiskey
6. The Dancing Leprechaun
On St. Patrick’s Day anything Irish goes, especially Irish Whiskey mixtures. To make the leprechaun dance, combine all the listed ingredients in a shaker with ice, and then strain into a highball glass with ice cubes. Finally, add garnish with a twist of lemon.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey 3/4 oz Drambuie 3/4 oz lemon juice Ginger Ale Twist of Lemon peel
7. Irish Trash Can
The above drink is not to be confused with this one. Fill a Collins glass full of ice, then add all liquors and stir. Finally, add a full can of Red Bull on top (as pictured to the right). The Red Bull will float at first, then slowly go down. Watch as your drink slowly turns green.
Ingredients: 1/2 oz gin 1/2 oz light rum 1/2 oz vodka 1/2 oz peach schnapps 1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur 1/2 oz triple sec 1 can Red Bull® energy drink
8. Irish Eyes
If you’ve developed a crème de menthe habit from all the green-tinted pomp of this holiday, just add Irish whiskey, heavy cream, and ice to it for this creamy lowball that is similar to a White Russian. Great for the song “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Ingredients: 1 oz Irish whiskey 1/4 oz green crème de menthe 2 oz cream maraschino cherry

Emily, the little girl from scarborough
It all began with a hot-dog eating contest. Emily took first place, and moved on to the provincials, where she placed second. But the first-place contestant bowed out when his stomach ruptured, and Emily was on to the nationals. At internationals she lost out to a rail-thin Japanese girl.
Emily never one to back down from any eating contest went into hard-core training. She ate all the hot dogs in Burnaby, then in the Greater Vancouver area, and in due course she caused a province-wide famine in wiener goods.
She went on to introduce other foods in her glutinous diet. Macaroni, cakes, cookies, Buttered raisin toast with peanut butter, meat and vegetable casserole with added skim milk powder, anything she could cram in to her mouth. She grew and grew, expanding from a frail young Chinese girl, to the size of a veteran sumo wrestler. It was bizarre, but she thought it fantastic.
The day she started eating whole animals was probably her point of no return. She began small with a malnourished goat, but by years end she was consuming large buffalo and full-grown elephants.
At some point she was eating with out having to chew, but she didn’t ever notice. She again grew and grew tell her eating caught up with her and her body began to fail. She lost the use of her eyes, legs, and arms. Then like a giant slug began rummaging around local pastures eating any creature within reach.
A local farmer angry with lose in his herds captured her and sold her away to a traveling circus. She was bought to be presented to spectators as the world’s largest grub. She stayed with the circus never trying to escape for they began to feed her animals from acts that were not as popular as “the giant grub”. Eventually the food supply ran out and she was dumped in an abandon mine to die. Emily not wanting to die attempted over and over again to free her self from the mine, but without arms or legs it was impossible. So, she laid there for years and years. She began to lose all the pounds she had put on over the years and eventually was nearing her original form. She still could not use her extremities and so she knew she would lay face down for the rest of her days.
One day a prospector found her and turned her over to ask what had happened. She began from the beginning telling him the story of losing to the Japanese girl and how she ended up in the pit lying there like a deflated balloon. Fascinated by the story the prospector inquired to hear more and more tell he was satisfied.
When he asked her what she wanted to do next Emily looked up and said I want to go to Krispy Kreme.
