I rarely get surprised by many things. If you told me that both Presidential candidates in the US were involved in the same club in Maryland that caters those who like rough sex with penguins, I’d shrug my shoulders.
If you showed me real, unedited video tape of President Jo Jo The Idiot Boy and Shotgun Dick Cheney deciding to go to war in Iraq just for oil, I’d be unimpressed. For that matter if you showed me Stephen Harper’s cardiogram as proof he has a heart, I’d yawn.
It isn’t that I’m jaded, but if you study enough history, long enough, you realize that it has all be done before and like idiots, we humans keep repeating ourselves.
However, of all the writing done on the blog and in the original incarnation of RoadDave The Website, stretching back to March 10, 2002, there has been one story that has had more references than any other.
It isn’t the keen observation of the Iraq War, or the rapier-like political commentary. It wasn’t the fake UN Chat Room posting, or the tour of the White House State Easter Egg Display.
No, gentle reader, it was Bars In Ottawa Pt I, specifically the part about Gerry Barber, the King of Bouncers. There have been more hits from searches about bars and bands in Ottawa, as well as the legend that is Gerry Barber, than any other story on the blog. Barely a week goes by that Bars in Ottawa Pt.I doesn’t generate a few hits.
Which leads me to a kind of stream of consciousness about Things Ottawa that have somehow surfaced over the months that I’ve written down as they bubbled up. I’ll post it in a week or so.
