As many of you know, Rob Ford, former mayor of Toronto,\u00a0 <\/span>and I were enrolled at Carleton University in Ottawa at the same time back in the 80\u2019s and early 90’s.<\/p>\n We weren\u2019t best pals, but we spent an awful lot of time at the campus pub\u2014The Slick Rooster\u2014cutting classes and drinking, and I suppose we formed a bond, a bond that has surprisingly remained intact over the years. Recently, I got an email from Rob after he heard about my heart surgery:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n *********************************<\/p>\n Little Buddy:<\/p>\n Holy shit storm!!<\/p>\n I had no idea your ticker was F\u2019ed! You were always so skinny, you\u2019d think it would have hit a bigger, heavier, more powerful guy like me, but hell, it just goes to show that you never know what\u2019s going\u00a0 <\/span>to happen in this crazy world. Who knows, eh? I might still end up with Jennifer Aniston!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n If I did, I tell you, we would become a political force that could never be stopped.<\/p>\n Robiffer: A fucking juggernaut.<\/p>\n Who was it you were nuts for? Oh yeah, Demi Moore! You wanted her so bad!! You saw that movie Ghost 8 times!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Remember that pottery scene? That was boner city, man! \u00a0Demi Moore reminds me of a lady soccer player. It\u2019s the short hair, like she\u2019s a boy only with really hot boobs and a fine, fine ass.<\/p>\n Have you been watching the lady soccer? No, me neither! LOL!!<\/p>\n Hey, gotta change the tone here for a sec, get heavy.<\/p>\n As you know, I spent some time incarcerated in the hospital, too. Unbelievable that a guy as vital and straight-shooting as myself would get the Big C, but I did. Not stopping me, though. Gotta have a positive attitude, little buddy. Just charge through it like you were a big lineman ploughing through a bunch of nerds, or in your case, a nerd beating on smaller, weaker nerds. What\u2019s beneath a nerd on the totem pole of cool anyway? I mean, who do nerds bully? Do you just throw rocks at animals, or are there actually people\u00a0you can push around? Interested to know as I always try to relate to my constituents. Wanna speak their language, even if it is Nerdlish.<\/p>\n How were your nurses?<\/p>\n
