When my lawyer stops laughing, he'll call me. <br /><br />In the meantime, I feel the need to respond and defend my honor (note the American spelling used throughout). <br /><br />First, it is not true that I can actually think about nothing. In those moments when it seems like my mind is a vortex of nothingness, I am reciting lines from The Godfather (the book) to myself. <br /><br />Second, the photo of Bob and Doug McKenzie embedded in the blog unfairly suggests that I am a beer-drinking, donut-eating, touque-wearing, “eh”-saying buffoon. This is outrageous. I almost never use the word "eh" in my speech. I was taught the Queen's English, and speak accordingly. <br /><br />Third, you complain that I never finish my stories, but it is not my fault that my Camp Meningitis story (picture this: 40 guys from an all-boys high school travel to Europe for two weeks of debauchery end up being quarantined in the Frankfurt Airport gymnasium with meningitis and then flown home on a Canadian air force Hercules airplane). What was I saying? Oh yeah, someone who will remain nameless (Gabriella!) strayed me off topic when she started talking about how great the Sicilian accents were in The Godfather (the movie). I simply segued into another discussion and offered to finish the story I had started. Strangely, no one remembered (must have been the 20 bottles of wine that were consumed in rapid succession). <br /><br />I will, however, confirm that my wife is both hot and brilliant. The latter quality certainly comes from her time in the enriched program in grade 8 in Mount Forest, Ontario when she and 3 other students were sequestered in a supply closet and played Dungeons and Dragons for extra credit. In fact, my wife's brilliance was on display this weekend at our cottage when I was cooking up some hot dogs on the BBQ and complaining that I did not like the green kind of relish, preferring instead the yellow "hot dog" relish that comes in those stubby little jars. Mrs. Mount Forest Public School Enriched Graduate said "why don't you just mix mustard with the green relish and you'll get the kind of relish you like?". Incredibly, it worked.
