I still have one of those posters somewhere in storage. I remember grabbing one at the time because I knew it wouldn't last long.

I lived in his riding when he ran in '94.

I remember the head of the Natural Law Party was asked, in debate, what would happen if they only were able to get 700 yogic fliers for budgetary reasons. He said it would create harmony, but only in the greater Ottawa region.

It's Maaaaaaaaaaa-gic!

Anty-dote?

In 'Conjuring' the Amazing Randi mourned the loss of Henning to the froot-loop movement. (Not quite his exact words but certainly his intent.) But I didn't know he was THIS bad!

Now if ya'll will excuse me I gotta go fly to the grocery store...

OMG - I was covering that election for a small station in BC and the Natural Law Party was comic relief beyond reason. I had TOTALLY forgot about them until now. Thanks so much for finding this! But just shoot me now, is 1992 already vintage?

Haven't watched the ad yet, but I was going to say, "the '90s is vintage now?"

It's weird that I don't think of 1992 as that long ago, though (even though I'm 31 now and was 13 at the time, so that's 18 years). Or sometimes even the '80s, for that matter.

also I just realised that kids who were born in 1992 are graduating/have graduated from highschool

what the hell, man, this does not seem possible

And driving and holding down jobs and buying cars- I have one of them and I still can't believe it!

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

You have a job and a car or you have a kid?

[laplor.livejournal.com]

I have a kid born in 1992 who has a job and car.

ALSO these are people for whom the USSR never existed and Germany was always one country.

(I think both those changes happened when I was in fifth grade. I know the fall of the Berlin Wall happened then, as I remember my fifth-grade teacher going to Germany--and we had to get used to not calling it East/West Germany anymore--and bringing back a piece of the Wall.)

Yep. My niece was born in 1992, and she just graduated. Damn I feel old now.

Now I know where The Kids In The Hall got all of their material.
