On the Road – Smoking Dipshits, Wicked Chickens, Mad Rabbits and More
June 1, 2025
Highlights and lowlights from yesterday’s excursion to and from Burlington:
1. Have you had “enuf?”
2. Waiting for the #12 GO bus at Fairview Mall was a DWAM™ who took her dipshit mask down so she could smoke, then promptly put it back on when she boarded the bus. Don’t worry about inhaling those toxic carcinogens, but make sure to guard yourself against an overhyped flu virus that I’d wager she’s “protected” from.
3. Boarding at Grimsby was a young punk wearing a black hoodie with the message, “HOW TO COOK MEAT.”
4. I think I’ll pass . . .
5. A lesson to misbehaving chickens. Act wickedly and you’ll end up on someone’s dinner table.
6. This is why they need weight restrictions out on the pier . . .
7. This collection of handsets is someone’s definition of “art” that Burlington taxpayers undoubtedly paid handsomely for . . .
8. The tea I ordered at Tamp Coffee was hot, but the reception from the woman behind the counter was ice cold. I certainly don’t expect or want to be groveled to, but I don’t think being friendly, particularly from a small, independent coffee shop, the kind I’ve been making an effort to patronize, is too much to ask.
9. Seated nearby was a snotty middle-aged woman showing off a collection of pictures to her friend. “I cried with joy seeing some of these things,” she said. “They’re called castles.” Stopping at one picture, she said, “It was built in the, like, 1400s,” before moving on. “That’s the frog’s head in Czechoslovakia . . . I took these for my Jewish friends . . . most Jewish families are, like, pharmacists or doctors.”
10. The mad rabbit was here . . .
11. I really stood out on the day as I was one of a distinct minority who didn’t have a dog with them.
12. There are a lot of cyclists in Burlington. No, they’re not using their bikes as a practical, alternate form of transportation, rather, with all their high-end gear and trophy bikes, they want to show off and look the part of trendy crusaders for environmental causes. No Canadian Tire or Walmart bikes for them.
13. Anyone who needs a sign to tell them to stay clear of hydro towers shouldn’t be left alone without adult supervision.
14. Don’t be a cellfish . . .
15. At Burlington GO, I was fortunate enough to catch the #12D, the newest derivative of the #12 route, back to St. Catharines. After leaving Burlington, the #12D only stops at Fairview Mall, Niagara College and Niagara Falls, which was a nice treat. Before taking off, the driver made sure to come upstairs to make an announcement to that effect. No doubt because they’ve had people wanting to get off earlier, despite the clear signage on the bus.
