The Twits?

Yeah, you know, The Twits, the humorous children's book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twits)

All joking aside, it can't be anymore offensive than 'The Biebs'

Hi Aaron,

welcome to NPAC and if you wanna learn how to shoot
without leaving your vehicle, look up Glenn Olson (an
old stills shooter from Wpg) who know shoots mostly
video in Nanaimo :D  Mind you, you'll have to wait a
week or so, cuz he's heading to Mx for a week ;)

Cheers,

Jack

If you  see Glenn , say hi , he will have many good stories , ask him about one of the great Wpg fire  pictures he shot by accident of  the Trappsit Monastery  , great guy , always  made the job fun. also he is the expert in the $100  photo car , he had this old  , brush painted 66 Acadian , with a vice grip instead of a gear shift , a milage  bonanza every month .
