This news release delay has my imagination working over time..

It has been my experience in the past that the better the news the longer the delay..TSX Must be sure that the release is accurate and honest...before they will release the news..

So the communications between the TSX and Kodiak goes something like this...

Kodiak office this morning...

Jeez...what is the hold up...

I know the news is fabulous but they should be letting it go on the open..at the latest..

BR-r-r-r-ring...(Fax coming in from the TSX...)

TSX::We will be on the phone to you in three minutes...Have someone there that can verify this News release..

KXL OFFice..

Hey Jack..is the boss around???

Just a minute ..he's in the Can...

Well tell him the TSX is calling in a few minutes and get the phone when it rings..

OK...

BR-r-r-r-ring!!!(Phone rings in KXL office..)

"Kodiak Exploration.."

Yes....I'm the CEO of KXL...

Yes...this NR is accurate....

I know this NR seems unbelievable but it is accurate....

Oh.....Is this why the delay on the NR....

OK...Get it out when you get ready...the sooner the better...

OK....

Ciao...

Jeez....

"Whats up boss???"

It's going to be a while...

They have never seen a nr this good...they are afraid that when they release the news that the volume will crash the TSX trading floor computer!!!

And they have to get 50 geeks in to work on the computer to handle the crash..just in case...and geeks are at a premium in Toronto...They have 2 CMS snow and all the geeks are staying home...

But they are working on it....

So folks..that is the reason for the delay this morning...

LONG KXL and loving it..

And dat's 'da t'roof...!!!
