Hey John,
Believe it or not, Brian Mulroney SOLD Michael Eisner "the image" of the
Mountie. My copyright/trademark lawyer friends tell me that it's therefore
illegal for anybody BUT Disney (and, one assumes, the RCMP itself--oops, I
keep trying to avoid those acronyms! But it's almost impossible) to use the
funny hat, scarlet tunic and diarrhea bags.
Cheese soup?!?!?!?!?!?!? Yuck! But I fear that French Canada must take
responsibility for a particular crime against humanity known at
<poutine>.... Basically, take a bunch of french fries and cover them in a
mixture of bad gravy and melted cheese (more than likely "Velveeta"....)
After Celine Dion, it's the worst thing to come out of Quebec since news of
Montcalm's premature demise.
Cheers,
Paul
OSR--(OBLIQUE Salinger Reverence--at best) Bruce's post about Marcus
Aurelius sent me not to the Salinger canon, but to Barlett--which was
already off the shelf....
