Dear Readership,

We deeply appreciate the number of response we have received on the article “Lecture from non-Christian devalues message.” The Crown strives to represent the many views of the Redeemer student body, and we hold ourselves accountable to you. The document which describes this relationship is “The Constitution of The Crown.” In article three of the document, it reads:

Dear readers,

On behalf of The Crown, and particularly myself, I would like to apologize for the editing mistake that led to the phrase "b'jesus" to be printed in the article, "Family... are you adopted too?".  The phrase has been removed on thecrown.ca, and in the future, I will be more attentive to important details such as this.

-Jordan Burgsma, Editor in Chief

10. I have never been to jail. If I had been to jail, it would have been spelled “gaol”, because I lived in Goderich. Fun fact: Steven Truscott narrowly eluded a death sentence while spending time in the Goderich Gaol.

In just a few short weeks, we will be bidding “peace out” to the only decade most of us can fully remember. In that spirit, The Crown has decided to throw down our personal favorites. While websites and blogs the net over have been naming their ten bests from the 00’s, we have done something a little different. Our editorial staff has put together our best experiences from the past ten years; our encounters with films, books, and a host of other cultural phenomena that are mostly, but not entirely, from the 00’s.

5. Big Xtra

Working at McDonald’s was one of the worst experiences of my life, besides the free food. My worst weeks of acne and gut rot were peppered with delicious encounters with the Big Xtra, or as the Americans called it, the Big’n’Tasty. With an extra patty, double cheese, all the fix-uns, a tray of nuggets and a chocolate shake, I was wired for the rest of my shift.

10. I saw Rat Race three times in theatres. Don’t ask me why, because all I can say is that I wasn’t the hippest preteen in rural Ontario.

 

9. Watchmen was one of the most disappointing films, poorly reflecting all the super-powered hype. I read the graphic novel, so I was a bit more prepared, and I can tell you that it wasn’t that bad; I just wished that Veidt had looked like a little less of a small child.

Another decade has come and gone. I feel old. It is a little funny to think that, as the new millennium rolled in, I was ten years old. And what was I doing? I was reading. When the year 2000 rolled in, I was reading Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat to my one year old cousin. I will admit it, I am a literary geek. Looking back over the last ten years, there are certain books that have stood out. Here’s my list.

Preface
I'm a little behind the times, so pardon the advances that don't technically fit in the last decade.
