Bravo GT!!!! I brings back lots of great memories and I live here!!!! I the Iron is soon going back to the scrap heaps of used and abused medical equipment and Dancing Queen should best be left to the vocal chords of Frida and Agnetha. I’ve also done my part to stop the spread of “We will rock you”— I see it as a public service to tell people about how crappy it is.

We’ll make more Blueberry Gunt when we’re back in NS this summer and we’ll drive a buck twenty to get to the airport to fly porter air.

It was a pleasure to host you and Nank!

Brilliant list. I can’t wait until I see someone next Tuesday! Bet I can say it at the office by Friday …

I find Maritimers aren’t as bent out of shape about it as Montrealers, Albertans and, worst of all, northern Ontarians. Don’t know why that is. I love Timiskaming.

A spirited call to arms, Jacy.

I’ve never understood why the ROC (rest of Canada) gets its head up its arse about TO.

And hearing about the death of Honest Ed today makes my heart grow even fonder, even though I trashed a Mirvish production a couple of posts back

I have been thinking about Toronto since you wrote this post, GT, and remembered how my inaugural post on RTK was a defence of the city I was born and raised in.

If you’re interested ….

Dancing Queen IS hard to sing. I tried once, and I’ll never do it again. (For other people’s sake.)

Are you kiddin’?
I love TO.
I could happily live in one of those treed ‘hoods close to the city centre.

As a born and bred Torontonian, this brought a wee tear to my eye. So nice to know some people visit here and then don’t go home and say how much they hated it.

Personally, my favourite thing about Toronto is the lovely, quiet, heavily treed neighbourhoods. I have lived in three very beautiful ones. They are the heart of the city.

Tagbagger, welcome back.
Yeah, things got a little rude in Toronto, I’m afraid.

Btw, Blueberry Gunt was actually a martini we named after the dessert.

But that probably doesn’t help the mental imagery, does it?
