Do I Look Fat in this City?

From in and around the internet....

"Shlepping down to Londull"

"Why am I (as a former London resident) not surprised that racist twit likes London? I’ll bet she’ll be burning a cross with the boys in Lucan afterwards…"

"London has enough problems with white supremacists as it is."

"It’s London, Ontario for God’s sakes. The first city in Canada to have a major “dead mall.”"

"Ah London, the whiteset [sic] place in Ontario. I wonder if she'll head up to Lucan to say hey to her Klan homies?"

"I don't mind London...there are worse places. But it suffers from its surroundings and the prominent and degenate [sic] clans that still run the place."

"Heh, well, we moved to London when I was 11 or so. Before that, it was good ol' working class Cambridge.
But yeah, there are things to dislike about it. The homophobic ex-mayor was one of them. The class divisions were also extremely prevalent, in that there really was a "wrong side of the tracks", and people, even kids, really cared about what side of those tracks you lived on."

"Someone please help me out and give me an example where London has produced something great. Sports examples are preferable but if those don't exist, then anything else will do. Just a warning, if Karen Baldwin winning Miss Universe or whatever it was is the best you can do, then don't bother posting."

"London has had a tough year by all accounts. First, it's claim to fame as the "Forest City" has been challenged and trumped by green places like Hamilton."


I had no idea that my city sucked so much. Thank goodness the assholes moved away and told us how bad it is here, otherwise I would have never noticed the crime, rudeness, and running effluent of this racist, backwards burg. Thanks internet! Now I know how bad my life is!

Happy Anniversary Honey

She walked down the aisle (well, across the patio) to the strains of ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me".


Once the deal was sealed with a kiss, we played "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family.




And our first dance, which didn't happen due to the cold, was supposed to be to the moving strains of John Prine's "In Spite of Ourselves". Which was Herb's idea.



It was a beautiful day, and it changed my life. But nine years and two children further down the road, this has become our theme song. And in this case, it wasn't her idea.
