Rob Ford, Toronto\u2019s embattled Mayor, is a fiscal conservative with small eyes and big hands. The red-faced, misunderstood rascal is almost always in trouble with the media, most recently for taking a couple of hours off of some council meetings to coach the Donnie Bosco Eagles, a high school football team here in Toronto. Because Rob has a big-heart, when the game ended early on account of the threat of a brawl, the Mayor was able to commandeer two city buses off their normal routes to come and pick up his boys so that they wouldn\u2019t have to wait nearly an hour for the arrival of their scheduled bus.<\/p>\n
He was just thinking of the kids.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n At any rate, as many of you know, Rob Ford and I went to Carleton University at the same time and were last call drinking buddies. Although we\u2019ve never had a sober conversation, we developed a strange but resilient friendship, one that sees us communicate to this day. Whenever one of us is drinking alone, we often go on-line to chat with one another, a sort of nostalgic slur back to the good old days.<\/p>\n Around 2:30 Monday morning, I got this message from Rob:<\/p>\n Rob: Hey fag!<\/p>\n Me: Slobber!<\/p>\n Rob: Just. Fucking. Love. Sunday.<\/p>\n Me: It\u2019s a holy day.<\/p>\n Rob: This grizzly worships at the church of FOOTBALL!!! PARTYYYY!!!<\/p>\n Me: What\u2019s your fav football movie?\u00a0 I think I like Against All Odds–Rachel Ward was hot!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Rob: She woulda made an awesome stripper. \u00a0But I think it\u2019s All The Right Moves that does it for me. Cruise has always been my man, and you get to see the mother from Back to the Future naked. Boner city!! Movie hit me right where it counts.<\/p>\n
