Rob Ford's Toronto

[pud99]

"While many Torontonians continued to wonder where the mayor was, some claimed to have actually seen him in town on Tuesday. Two Tim Hortons employees and a local teenager told CBC News they saw Ford at a Tim Hortons in the Junction neighbourhood of Toronto's west end."

Well, if Jesus is going to go around appearing on toast, why not?

I'm not sure. She and a couple of Tim Hortons employees said he was there:

Wow. I challenge any sane person to read from beginning to end of that CBC story and not wonder at least a little about whether some kind of monstrous trolling operation is going on.

The quotes attributed to DMW and Mammo have been widely reported, but what the hell, both quotes are off-the-chart weird, Doug is weirder, and Rob would have something even weirder to say if only he could be found.

And not just Jesus:

ETA: Doug says that is just Andy Kaufman.

I mean, in theory it could have just been Slurpy.

Is that Mikey? If so there is a strong resemblance. But, he's 20 years younger. I wonder if anyone is using the Escalade these days?

Nah, slurpy was the local character Dixon kids said there were going to make fake Rob videos with.

Not to forget the BVM:

Not mentioned: Was pushing JFK in a wheelchair.

Ha, Twitter juxtaposition.

Can't be authentic. Not speaking gibberish on emergence from Tim's toilet.

Maybe the wrong Mary? Looks more like Mary Pickford.

 

[pud99]

Oh, come on. "Doug says that is just Andy Kaufman" ought to have receive hosannas for best cultural allusion of the day. I give up on you 'folks', for tonight anyway.

ETA: Sweet dreams, baby.*


*Can't you just hear Roy's voice?

You just outdid 80's Tug Ford!

Well played sir/madam!

And there goes pud99, illuminating the night sky with a streak of comic brilliance.

There was mention of a passport application on the dash of either Ford's chief of staff or nephew's car....I don't remember where that detail was printed or mentioned. The simplest explanation was Ford's passport had expired since the Kimmel trip and that his rehab escape occurred before Ford had all the proper documentation.

If Ford's passport expired, he would use a Simplified Renewal Passport Application (http://passport.gc.ca/info/ren.aspx?lang=eng), not pick up a fresh application from the post office. I picked up that application a few years ago -- but that's because my old CDN passport expired in the 1990s! So I was practically a new applicant.

We know Ford's was good in March of this year. As flaky as he is, I doubt he'd let it expire; the Fords like to travel to the U.S. a lot.

And if it was for Mikey, they would have to go to the passport office in person and pay the rush fee to get it approved in 24 hours. Standard application processing time is 10-20 business days.

I looooove the German term for "crack-smoking mayor": Crackburgemeester
