    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Yeah, exactly. basic, you gave us more in one post than the national media pros have been able to scrape up over a day and a half since the DUI story broke, and several days since Rob went north. Thanks! Don't beat yourself up if some UTers say, Hey, you didn't put every possible dot together ...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Hopelessly optimistic, I know, but it would be awesome if the actual writer of this piece came out and said, After I saw the piece posted on the Sun web site, I realized that no amount of money would persuade me to sit at a desk up to my eyeballs in toxic bullshit typing out yet another English...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    From Reddit ... I'm mostly a please-take-the-tinfoil-off-your-head-and-attempt-to-be-rational sort of person, so at this point I'm alarmed that the above is somewhat persuasive to me. Really, I still think that the whole RoFo phenomenon is a perfect storm of a mutant personality, horrible...

    Fuck, the problems for this woman are worse than I guessed. I hope the media stays on the Ford story and gets all over the GreeneStone story, and backs off from a story about somebody who never aimed to get worldwide attention.

    Uh, so, regarding your edits, "supurb" was just bait so you could find some spelling/grammar pedants to block? :p

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    It's the nature of the story, too, I think. Compare and contrast ... (A) Among many other unbelievable events the same night, RoFo punches scuzzy criminal in the face, forgetting sack of McD's in hand. (B) DoFo throws gasoline on fire about group home, offends all decent people. (C)...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Just gross us all out with chilly purple hands a few more times and somebody will pay up, no doubt ... That whole Underwear FC thing was fantastic, but this poetry, in isolation ... ... is just so so striking. I'm dimly aware that there's already a "Little [some colour] Book of Rob Ford" in...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Haha, that is awesome. The old pic and the newish words fit so well together! (Not sure about the cold, dead hand holding the fries, though.) The amazing thing about the pic is the emotion on the face of the Hamburglar. It's like the McD's team foresaw the shit-rain to come, and designed a...

    That's closer to how I feel, but it wasn't my aim to make you comply with my emotions! Just say what you think, and pass on your experiences, as you have helpfully done quite often on this thread ...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Quick points: (1) Twitter person is not me--not surprising that in a Canadian city of 1.2 million, more than a few are freaked out by the Ford horror-show; (2) really good clip, but LMAO is far from my emotional reaction, which is mostly dismay about how much a clip from a 83-year-old movie has...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Thanks for that. I'm struck by how strident many opinions are, despite how much uncertainty there is about what has been happening in the neighbourhood of this house. What's clear, though, is that Doug Ford is utterly unfit to hold elected office, or to run a mayoral campaign. (As if we...

    Yeah, that part of the story is incredible too. I kinda wanted the I've never heard of Rob Ford thing to stand alone, at least for a moment.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Good point. If RoFo's there, or if he's not and this is the 10th time the manager has been asked about RoFo, I imagine it's tough to resist the urge to vent. But if you're running this sort of place, you should have your shit together.

    Pros would say: Yes, we're familiar with the major news stories about Rob Ford, and we wish him well with his recovery; but no, we'll not say anything about whether he or anybody else is a patient. Clowns would say: I've never heard of Rob Ford.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    From linked article (sorry for screenshot, site wouldn't allow copy-paste of text) ... WTF. "Manager" cannot comment on a man named Rob Ford, who he has not seen or does not exist.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I'm briefly turning off my snark and Ford-hate to remark as many others have already done on this thread: There's a lot of what you might call collateral education going on related to this story ...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    From linked story ... No doubt that's not the first time the word candid has been horribly abused, but, uh, I can't even. I'm sure we all agree, it's all about losing a few pounds and then being pretty happy, that's by far the biggest challenge. Edit: And feeling good about himself. Jeez...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Ha! Kind of a connoisseurish joke, but still great. I know that this makes me a horrible person, but I think the #1 reason I'd like to see Robbo charged with a major crime is that the defence lawyering would be literally fantastic. So happy to be able to use the word literally in a...
