778.0. "Fritzroy of Bust" by KAOFS::M_COTE (Don't Tread on us, Bloco) Thu Dec 23 1993 12:29

    

    Many towns, city's and villages around our great continent have
    produced something which has made them renowned in some small way.
    Belleville Ontario, a small town in Southern Ontario, is known for it's 
    abundant fast food strip which divides the trip between
    Toronto and Montreal. [Probably where the line will be drawn if there
    is a civil war:-)]. It is also known for the Belleville Mcfarlans, [sic]
    a world champion hockey team and of course a Prime Minister. Southern
    California's USC has produced some of the nations outstanding running
    backs, and beach calendars. And the ville, Montreal bringing oven baked
    bagels, smoke meat and of course, elevator operators.

    	

    	This brings me to a small town north of the Nations Capital,
    Fritzroy Harbour. With winter upon us, all the small cities around
    our great country are ramping up of the wonderments of wonderments,
    the local Winter Carn NAvaals. With the Ontario high taxes, Socialismite 
    controlled government and lack of Indian contacts for cheap cigarettes,
    gloom has befallen the people.But the people of Fritzroy have been able
    to produce an almost endless supply of village idiots to the winter 
    carnival committees. It is not known how they do it. Has it something to
    do with the closeness of the Fritzroy family. I understand outsiders
    aren't welcome ya know.Not much of a gene pool to work from. Else it
    could be the water.
    	Having a representative from Fritzroy at your carnival, allows
    gratification for the visitors, knowing that life really aint that bad. 
    Kinda reverse of 'the grass is allways greener on the other side'.
    
    	This morning, I was driving to work, I noticed a Honda 650 motor
    superScooter driving into Ottawa. He had one of those big Plexiglas
    windshields, and a Canadian Tire snowblower plastic dome around the
    driver. On the back of the bike was a 'I [heart] Fritzroy' sticker.


    	Anyone know of this person?

778.1No compasion for the less fortunate (mentally that is)KAOFS::D_STREETVirtue is relative.Thu Dec 23 1993 12:485
    Typical capitalist view there Mike. The guy can't afford a snowmobile
    so you make fun of him. I bet you think it is a real hoot when the
    locals pile into government owned row boat and try to go water sking.

    Was there a trail of green plastic 2 litre home (witches)brew bottles 
    strewn behind the superScooter?  If so, I may be able to identify the 
    Fitzroyite.

The easy way to spot your local Fitzroy Harbourian is to look inside the upside
down vehicules parked along the side of Carp road.  

Merry Christmas,

778.4How's the broom performin'KUTIPS::LACAILLEHalf-filled bottles of inspirationThu Dec 23 1993 13:5117
	Attention, anyone in the Hull facility, if you were planning
	on hitting the stores for xmas shopping early, do so - NOW.

	I just noticed a slow moving convoy making its way up March road
	towards the 417. This motley assemblage was comprised of the
	aformentioned honda superscooter, a couple of 71' Elan snowmobiles,
	a bright red argo 8 wheeled ATV, a really pissed off youngster
	towing a crazy carpet, and some guy with a canoe attached
	to his head.

	I would have been more amused than worried had I not noticed the
	sticker on the superscooter had been changed, it now reads;

		"Hull and Bust"

	Charlie frum the 'arbur (not to be confused with Charlie frum kerp)

778.6KAOU59::ROBILLARDThu Dec 23 1993 17:3310
This latest update from the Fliproy Harbourites convoy ...Upon remembering that 
there was a shortcut to Hull the the convoy leading honda superscooter turned
the crew around and lead them back down March road to the shores of the mighty
Ottawa river. The waters seemed frozen enough and they proceeded to attempt the
crossing. Half way across the ice gave way and, and OHHH THE HUMAAANITYYYYY!!!!
The only thing to survive the tragedy was a canoe seen floating down the river
with a set of legs pointing straight up.
