Father's Day Stuff

[mbarrick]

Yesterday I was in bustling downtown Ladner with Elaine. Since we will be in New York next week this was an early Father's Day thing for her dad. We met her parents at the Legion and I did something I've been meaning to do for years. I brought a copy of my father's discharge papers along with me and signed up. I am now an associate member of the Royal Canadian Legion.

What does this mean? I have signed to the effect that I am not a communist (sorry, Dave, guess you can't join), a fascist, or an anarchist. It means I stand for Canadian unity, Canadian sovereignty, and Canada's rôle as a peacekeeper. Most of all though, it means I can get $2.50 pints and play pool for 50¢ ;-).

That's not very communist of you... "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

Well, there is always that handy convenient counter-clause of: "Those that do not work shall not eat..."

With Nietzsche doing the commentary... ;-)

That last comment was mine - I somehow got logged in under my "conlang" journal by mistake.

To pass my boredom when it's REALLY slow at work, I've set out to construct my own language...
