…liveblogging the third Toronto mayoral debate.
Okay, so if you don’t live in Toronto you won’t care. But if you don’t live in Toronto, you don’t have to live with the prospect of Rob Ford becoming mayor. To make another Animal House reference: fat, drunk and stupid is no way to run a city.

You liveblogged a mayoral debate when you COULD have been at the Scott Pilgrim launch party? Dude.
And now I notice that by ‘last night’ you mean the 20th and not the 19th. So I’m kind of an idiot.
Job well done. Hysterical. Almost made up for how depressing it is knowing these are the top 5 candidates…
I love you, MGK. And even though I don’t live in Toronto anymore, the prospect of Ford becoming mayor depresses the hell out of me. Do people not remember Lastman?
It looks like a habitrail for the Bald White Guy With Funny Glasses And A Mishappened Head. And why do tourists still insist on leaving cups of coffee lying around like that for them? There are signs clearly advising them to not do that, ffs, do they not realise that politicians are a notorious vector for all sorts of diseases that could easily cross the species barrier to humans?
flounder is the guy with the bowtie right?
No, Flounder is the fat guy with the red tie.
No, Flounder is the fat guy with the red tie.
The one who looks like he just swallowed a child prostitute whole and is smugly proud of the feat? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen penises on BME sites that had less fucked up looking smiles on them than the one on that guy’s face. He didn’t look like that during the whole debate did he?
Is the bowtie guy just a random doctor who fan then?
Fred, he’s looked like that throughout his career. He’s also the frontrunner. Fear for us.
The bowtie guy was the debate moderator, I believe. No idea where he gets his sense of style, but you have to admit that it’s unique.
Enjoy this Flounder video from a couple of years ago: he throws a hissy fit because some journalist apparently called him a fat fuck.

For some reason, I’m put in mind of an old joke I heard about a while back. It tells the tale of a law professor who was teaching the art of litigation, and he claimed that you should lead with whatever aspect of your case was strongest.
“If the law is on your side, pound on the law! If the facts are on your side, pound on the facts!”
There was a pause, and one student raised her hand. “What if neither the facts nor the law are on your side?”
“Then pound away on the table!”
