“Do you expect me to take Montmorency line south to the Berri-Uqam hub and then transfer over to the Angrignon West to McGill?” “No, Mr Tripler, I expect you to die.” ---

If **matt\_mcl** wanted you dead, you would be dead. Montreal is his city and his goons will do what he tells them to do. I once knew a guy who borrowed $50 Canadian from him and when he didn’t pay up, the guy found a Moose head in his bed. Actually, rumor has it that a government official in charge of the metro owed \*\*matt\_mcl \*\*some money and, well, too bad about that “accident” at the station the other day… ---

I think there’s more going on there than appears at first glance. I think there are vast forces moving behind the scenes, of which we know almost nothing. We were having a beautiful summer. Until the weather went weird and cold… just when **Tripler** arrived. Then after he left, we had intense heat and mugginess, as if to compensate; and now things are back to [del]superbly-beautiful[/del] normal. **Tripler** out-and-out _told_ me that he had once touched an active nuclear missile in its silo. _If he can admit something like that, what is he hiding??_ ---

[QUOTE=Tripler] They wouldn’t “arrest” a national strategic asset like myself. They’d be straight out to kill me . . .and this time they _failed_. I’ve already got my “Bond Girl” (aka ‘Sylvia Trench’, and she brought her own .357 to the relationship and knows where I keep my ‘room broom’), but let this be a lesson to the rest of you–hang out with me and danger and excitement await. All I lack is the secret hideout in the Bahamas. While James Bond has his martinis shaken, and not stirred, I have my Tim’s doubled, not stirred.

What I find most shocking is the way everyone is skirting carefully around the real cause of this failure of civic engineering, and that cause is… yes, it’s Gay Marriage. ---
