Yesterday, I headed out to Richmond Center Mall with our favourite background extra, Leo Chiang for the Vancouver stop of the LG Canadian Texting Championships. This special event was put on for local media and a prize of $1000 was put up for grabs. The winner would get to donate it to a charity of their choice. Also competing was John Chow, Buzz Bishop from Virgin 953 and April Smith from Aha Media. Check out the video below for a taste of the excitement:
Our friend Buzz Bishop returned to win this year’s event with a time of 13:454. The fastest time in Canada was 5:67 so it’s like being the best of the worst. But then again, a win is a win and LG owes Buzz a 10 second car…or that check for $1000 to his charity which is Team Diabetes. Here are the official results from the Vancouver Stop…
As Leo said, he also came to challenge for a spot in the Kam Do Mixed Grill Challenge Hall of Fame. It is true, I am the only one of the Dot Com Pho Crew that has survived and conquered this meal not only once, but twice. Stay tuned for the video to find out whether or not Leo lives or dies.
Text messaging?! Why would I want to do that? Oh, To stay in touch! I just can’t imagine having a “Texting Chamionship!” There must be a whole Lot of people that haven’t got enough to do! Maybe a whole Generation.lol! If someone wants to reach me My cellular is turned on 24/7. I’ve got some Inlaws that are 84 + 87, And if my lady needs to be able to reach me, she can. My cell phone doesn’t have a camera and can’t be hooked to the Internet. I just upgraded to a Samsung “Knack” phone and I’m quite pleased with it! Only cost me $22.00… Yeah, I know, I’m a Dinosaur! But I can pay my bills! Cheers! Gabe PS When’s the last time you had your Cholestrol checked?! lol!
