Hat my ass. It was a cake made to look like a hat. Typical weasel politician. GHEY.

Would've been funnier if he said he'd eat a cake and they brought him one made out of an old hat.
I got nothin.

He could have asked one of those edible underwear companies for a custom product, I would think...

Ghey indeed. Son of a biatch should've downed a sombrero.

"Yes, eat all our hats!"

as a Mao player, I just get a giggle when I read any news containing the phrase "during a point of order"...

2002-06-19 12:36:01 PM
er...not that that phrase ever appears in the above article...

"..... blah blah rose on a point of order..."
 
2002-06-19 12:37:45 PM
What a tool...
 
2002-06-19 12:39:57 PM
Shoulda made him eat THIS hat...
 
2002-06-19 12:42:04 PM
House Speaker Gary Carr chided Eves for using a prop in the legislature, which is not allowed, and then suggested the cake be brought to his office with a fork.

Gary Carr's a fat jerk.

I swear,... If I hear "Hilarity ensues" one more time.....
 
2002-06-19 12:44:12 PM
What, Starfailure, will hilarity ensue?

The person who submitted this link deserves a D- in reading comprehension.
 
2002-06-19 12:44:52 PM
Why not take a hat made of quality hemp fibres and eat that?
 
2002-06-19 12:45:21 PM
Grrrrr...
 
2002-06-19 12:52:51 PM
Hows about a hat made of Poop? Thats all that comes out of their mouths anyways

Monday's budget also initiated a hike in tobacco tax that will force smokers to pay an extra $9 a carton after the increase is essentially matched by Ottawa.

If I were a smoker, I'd be pissed!

I think the "hilarity ensues" part of the title should be erased. I did not find this even mildly humorous. Was he eating a hat? A cake? Who cares. Blame Canada.

Maybe he should be eating an asshat.

There's a tendency around here (in Ontario) to assume that our politics are at all crazy, unique and/or interesting. I suppose this comes of so many decades of provincial politics being downright boring.

Ontario has had a taste the last few years of American politics. I agree telling you American people about this will do nothing more than draw yawns, no matter how outraged people up here might be over bits of it. Pay us no mind. I'll do what I can to discourage my compatriots from bothering you with it.

Jph: That's what I was going to say. hehheheheh.
 
2002-06-19 01:37:10 PM
Much appreciated, Flying squirrel. If I thought that I could do the same for American politics...
<sarcasm>
But of course everyone wants to hear about US politicians, they are important! The world deserves to know! </sarcasm>

ALTO: obscure? yes. Funny? very.

"Hee hee hee, no one in history has ever done anything _this_ clever."
 
2002-06-19 01:44:00 PM
Cake. Pah. They should have served him hat soup, hat salad, filet of hat with a side of mashed hat, and hat a la mode for dessert. And he should have eaten it all with a smile.
 
2002-06-19 01:48:21 PM
Should've eaten an actual hat.
Serendipity: I don't get it.

Ernie Eves is a complete jackass and the Ontario government is a bunch of clueless morons.

And Flying Squirrel, Waterloo sucks the big one.
 
2002-06-19 01:55:06 PM
*shrug*, I like it.
 
2002-06-19 01:58:09 PM
"But I don't like hat."

"Well, you could have the hat, hat, hat, hat, hat, hat, hat, hat, hat, bacon, eggs, hat, sausage and hat. That one doesn't have THAT much hat in it!"
 
2002-06-19 02:00:48 PM
OK, maybe I was a little harsh on Waterloo. Kitchener sucks bag though. I'm moving to K-W in two months. Can you recommend any restaurants or strip bars?

BTW, the Mr.Sub on King Street is the friendliest Mr. Sub I've been too.

Restaurants? I'm pretty easy to please. Philthy McNasty's in the Westmount Plaza in Waterloo is probably my favourite "restaurant with taps" type place around here. This guy has a pretty good run-down. He's generally more harsh than I'd be, which probably makes him a better critic.

For strip bars, I can't say. The Dollhouse in Bidgeport (Bridge and Lancaster in Kitchener) defines seedy, so I suppose it's gotta be good.

And yeah, Kitchener sucks bag. :)
 
2002-06-19 02:24:34 PM
Thanks, that should help!!

Mmmmmmm....seedy...
 
2002-06-19 02:26:10 PM
Never been there at night, but damn... it's seedy enough in the day time...
 
2002-06-19 02:51:35 PM
Where the hell is the 'hilarity'? What the bleeding hell is wrong with fark these days?
 
2002-06-19 03:17:29 PM
Woohoo! A D-!

The "hilarity ensues" part was added by Drew/Jeff.

I think...
 
2002-06-19 04:39:13 PM
I like the way it's soooo funny to get an overnight tax hike like that (it's on tobacco and alcohol, so it's not just for the smokers) from a farker who wasn't even elected! Grrrrr...
 
2002-06-19 06:36:55 PM
Why the *wierd* tag? Never heard of eating your hat?
 
2002-06-26 05:55:34 PM
Well I'll be damned, I DID put "hilarity ensues"
