Chilli for the Chilliwack Maybe the Big Ten or just Ten for Tenaka Nimp or Nimpy for the Nimpkish Kahl and Kilt for the Kahloke and Kiltsa Bow and May for the Bowen and Mayne Queens Milay Mill or MB for the Mill Bay QPR For the Prince Rupert Powell R. Queen I probably don't even have to say that one. i'll call it that so if theres ever a Campbell R. Queen we know what were talking about. Maybe John should put nicknames for the Ferries on the Ferry Terminal

Star Wars...I heard people were camping outside the Colussus theater to get in there and see that; NERDS!  |

Those people are hilarious. Nerds are funny to watch. The only light they ever see is from their computer monitors. At least there's more room on the beach and on the ski hills because they're locked up in their basements, unless they're watching Star Wars at the movie theatre.

Yeah, my friend has gone to some midnight showings when popular movies like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings came out or maybe it was the first Star Wars movie. This weekend is gonna be busy for Star Wars fans at the movies. But then there is us ferry people who would probably rather be riding a ferry, lol! If we can get on! Anyone travelling on the ferries with their car better reserve or you might be stuck. Route 2 reservations I bet are all gone for tommorrow!
