pies AND ice cream, all in a little shack
ok, let’s start with the important stuff first:
as you may or may not recall, a couple of months ago i discovered a roadside pie stand in napanee:

apparently it wasn’t doing so well (shockingly), so they’ve expanded their operation:

it was actually open today, so i had to take the picture hurriedly. inexplicably, there was no lineup.
anyway, on a whim, i went to toronto last night and met up with robin and anne in an attempt to see joel plaskett play a solo set at hugh’s room. it turned out to be sold out, but i put our name on a waiting list which turned out to be a waste of time. apparently hugh’s room isn’t used to having a waiting list, ’cause they really weren’t sure how to handle the crowd outside. anyway, we ended up meeting up with mitch, nadia et al at cafe diplomatica for a few drinks, and had a good time. incidentally, on our way there, boy got on the same bus as us. robin wasn’t convinced it was him initially because he was wearing a boy cap. lame. anyway, yet another minor brush with fame for me.
oh, one last thing – something i asked last night: who would win a race between jesus, god, light and superman? discuss.
God. God is Jesus’s Dad and Jesus never pulled anything over on God but God did not exactly reciprocate. They, however, made up. God also made light and Superman. Gave them max speed and kryptonite respectively. God is in charge of all this sort of stuff.
July 26th, 2004 at 9:38 ami can accept that answer, although i think jesus is probably a bit more spry than god (in spite of the sandals). i think it’s a dead heat.
some people (who shall remain nameless) voted for light, if you can imagine.
July 26th, 2004 at 10:14 ami am going to stick with my original answer. the order in which they would cross the finish line is: god & jesus tied for first, light third and superman last. unless superman was trying to reverse the spin of the earth’s axis to bring lois lane back to life… in which case he may beat light.
July 26th, 2004 at 10:29 amI think that western civilization has got to come to terms with the possibility of a God Jesus tension and I am just thankful that this post was made available to express what we really all have known has been going on for about 1975 years.
