Bill Clinton

I know it may not be of any importance... but as I was walking down Granville street this aft, traffic was backed up for blocks with what looked like the enitre VPD directing vehicles and people. I looked and saw Bill Clinton,greasing the palms..., literally , of a few Vancouver store owners. I thought his time had come and gone years ago. But you would not believe the security that this guy gets. I counted about 15 secret service guys. Four big Suburban vehicles and Vancouvers finest escorting him through the shops of Granville.

Our own Prime Minister would be lucky to get a couple of bank security guards and a Ford Taurus to escort him around.

I know not much of a thread...

Anyways have a great long weekend everyone.

By the way... any good games to watch this weekend?

British -- to mock, deride, poke fun (at). This vulgarism has been in widespread use since the late 1940s. The original idea evoked by the expression was that of deflating someone, recalling the description of a self-important blusterer as 'all piss and wind.'
