, you probably already know about the 7-11 stores across the US that have been temporarily converted to Kwik-E-Marts to promote the upcoming Simpsons movie. What you may not know is that we have one in the GVR, specifically in Coquitlam. This is particularly special when you consider that it is the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada, and one of only 12 in North America.

It is, however, highly topical as I stumbled upon it my RSS feeds not 45 minutes after Ben)
Work of art?
I present to you another example of the dire state of the human race. Considering all of the things going on in the world, this seems like a frivolous, almost immoral (as Mark put it) waste of money. What in the world is it? Read on: Bru [...]

Office Sound Bites
Some of you wouldn’t believe the things that come out of our mouths here at IBC, and I think it would be a good idea to start posting some of these random sound bites without the benefit of any sort of context. After all, if we don&# [...]
