In the spirit of aesthetic wonder, the following poll is presented. You
have two weeks to vote. You may cast a first choice and a second choice
vote.

Results will be posted in the new year.

What is the UGLIEST PLACE in Ontario? You may nominate a city, town,
village, shopping centre, suburb, park, industrial park, street, street
corner, etc. The ugliest place should be an entire vista. Please
indicate why your choices affront your senses.

Has to be Mississauga!
Though I have travelled (and lived) in many areas of Ont. including
some pretty desolate Northern towns, nothing compares to the
homogenized suburbia of clone houses and car addicted planning that is
Mississauga!

I'll second that nomination. I seem to recall a that when the tower was built,
someone suggested that it should be named 'the monument to bad government'.

That's so close it's
probably true. However...
the truely, really most
ugliest ones are:

-1. Bob Allisat's penis (3 of them!)

-2. Lim Mercer's throwing arm (duck!)

-3. Bruce Becker's e-shoes (Size 19)

-4. Val Dodge's Underwear (Zellers)

-5. Cakes' cooking (Madame Benoit Shame!)

-6. Doctress Neutopia's clitoris (k2esque)

-7. Doctor Joe Baptista's Hat (Ogilvy's)

-8. Mr. Clean Tom Evans' ciggies (stapled there)

-9. Jim Carroll's brain (three cells)

-10. Ken K. Kambell's brain (shares with J.C. # -9)

-11. I forget. Keep the ball rolling. Unless it's
really huge. Then keep the ball from rolling
on top of you. The definition of life. Or is
it something more, greater, smarter and so on?

"Please Bob - I beg you - we all do - find another hobby."
Well Mr. Pedersen, here's my list of new hobby possibilities...
drawn from the top nine hobbies of Mike Harris' era of common
sense...

9. Finding the personel manager and a security guard
standing over your desk, being fired on the spot
and escorted out the door never to return with
only a box full of personal junk, your last pay
check and nothing else to show for x years work.

8. Explaining why/how the above could happen to
yourself, your family and friends.

7. Experiencing the joy of unemployment insurance
expiring with not even one reply from all those
applications and resumes.

6. Watching your last penny drain out of your bank
account due to Service charges (making a billion
bucks in profits must be pretty expensive work, eh?)

5. Losing your house mortgage or getting an eviction
when you finally can't pay the rent.

4. Having a "Contents" Sale selling every last valuable
stick to make 125 bucks that won't even pay for gas
to move family and kids to the basement of Gradma
and Grandpa's house.

5. Finally finding a job at Macdonald's and discovering
you're violently allergic to tropical oils, Gnu meat
and polyester.

4. Finally dragging yourself (in sunglasses and a hat)
down to the welfare office only to discover your family
doesn't qualify because you live with Mom and Pop.

3. Having that last argument over being a loser and moving
the family out of the basement, driving to Vancouver to
live in the car you stole from Gramps.

2. Being rousted from the car in Stanley Park by the cops
and fleeing in the night from having the kids snatched by
social worker goons.

1. Making a cozy little cabin on crown lands in the mountains
somewhere with the semi-automatic machine gun you stole
right beside you because if ain't the loggers it's the
native people who want to shoot your grass eating, squirrel
hunting fucken haggard ass.

Ya, I know there's no number ten. There's also no sense
in old Mike's common sense so fuck off, okay. Call me
eccentric, call me anything... just don't call me a
consumer, stakeholder or user okay. Or I'll pretend your
an Ontario cabinet minister and turn cannibal. Yesterday
I saw big foot. Today I AM big foot. Tommorrow? Who Knows.

Ok, 5 was funny. The others were ok too. Please continue.
I'll be posting your EMail at work (a Hospital no less!) - of course,
with your proper accreditation. I trust I have your permission.

Thanks for the laughs (it's a damn shame some of them were serious
though !)
