Rob Ford's Toronto

[casita]

I had a really evil thought at TOTD yesterday: in the event that RoFo showed up, I was thinking of yelling out "Tickle Mayor Ford!". (Hey, better to tickle-bomb him than to throw eggs and tomatoes at him. And it's not inciting violence; only anarchic chaos.)

Funny thing is: given the nature of his celeb, they *would* tickle him, too.

Some people get turned on by tickling.

casita, with all the time you spend on twitter, surely you must also post there? can you reveal your twitter account so we can follow?

^ I don't have a Twitter account, Rudy. I just like to read it.

April 22 to be exact.... (Mikey July 18)

Ooops, thanks for the correction Greg Banks.

Meanwhile, on FaceBook, on the No Ford Nation page:

There is discussion on the Ward 2 delayed poll results showing Mikey Ford was in the lead on July 23. Among the comments is this post from a family insider of sorts who may just be trying to cause trouble:

Curious that he misspells Stirpe as Stripe.

I figure this is a plant - In their bizarre way of "thinking", Uncles could figure saying Mikey is gay could win them a sympathy vote from the gay community they've alienated. When he "comes out", (whether or not he is really gay), they suddenly embrace the concept of homosexuality - a "come to Jesus" moment, if you will.

He's not a plant, he's the brother of the man murdered by Mike's father. He's probably just dropping some stuff out there to see if it sticks to the Fords. He hates the Ford family for very obvious reasons and would do anything to cause them trouble.

A plant by the uncles?

I find that hard to believe. I agree with Pattycakes.

OK. I guess with all the "threats" against Fords and their cars, I got caught up in the possibility of a weird, constructed scenario. Shoulda checked on the FB guy. Hey, dog days.

He's commented on things before, but I can't remember when/where. Maybe someone with a better memory can help out.

Is there any reason to believe this is actually MK's brother and not a fake account?

He also deleted his twitter account at one point after making comments about the Fords.

That's what it was, thanks EagleEye, I think he's the real deal, no reason to create a fake account for him.

I doubt if voters will ever know anything about Mikey, other than his new name.

I agree. It's Dieter, and that's his FB name. I did some googling a while back. Not a fake account.
