Ever gone for a quick visit to the John only to come out with your life completely changed? Most have been lucky to escape with only the harsh withdrawal of a hot curry from the night before. Oh to be so lucky.
Others like Mr AC (Arctic Commando) could only wish for such an instance, Mr AC tells his story.
"It was another day at the Arctic Base. I was cold but my belly was warm due to the beef vindaloo from the night before. I headed uncomfortably for the bathroom and all the other commandos thought I was crazy. They warned me about the south easterly wind and how it blows right through those toilet stalls. One quick change and my face will always be the same. Why would I be pulling absurd faces on the toilet? The boys are just having a lend of me. I laughed off their foolishness and quickly huddled toward the bogger.
The curry did a number on me and sweat poured from my brow, it was intense and so was the sudden change of the wind as it blew the stench around the room. Like that I knew it, they were right.
My face now told the story of eternal, intense and disgusted strain. It was a regretful season, until I took a look at myself and decided this face didn't mean strain, it showed determination. I didn't give up on life and I sought work as an actor. My first audition was for the movie Goldeneye. Apparently my perceived strain wasn't necessary in every scene and they thought they knew a project I could work on. Goldeneye 64 was this project. My looks were now appreciated and were used for the face of a cocky Arctic Commando, just like me! On set I met other like-faced freaks, it was a place for us all to have opportunities again. I even met my wife on the job who played Xenia. We now have a baby who looks just like us, a cute mixture of surprise and strain."
