So, the section of highway between Trenton and Toronto is named "Highway Of Heroes" in honour of our fallen troops in Afghanistan.
...and this little girl came home today.
That's fucked up.

Would you prefer they name it "Highway Of Bullet and Shrapnel Stoppers"?

Oh, it's a little tougher to do the ol' give and take when it's you taking the fire. Sorry, I didn't realize you were out of character. Don't you have a revolution to plan?

You do realise that these troops are gaining valuable battlefield experience in Afghanistan that will be put to good use during
Operation Flin Flon, right?
By any means necessary, Phibes. Now, be a man and
Mao Up*
* the cool new term we agitprop hipsters are using to express our socialist solidarity

well the 'solemn fat firemen saluting on top of truck' is hysterical, very rural. I should show up to one of those things and juggle firesticks.

Yeah, you do that, Phibes. You do that.

Yeah, you do that, Phibes. You do that.
If Canadian rednecks are even remotely like our breed down south, I too encourage that.

well they might intimidate you, BSmack - but then the liberal, sandal wearing, tree hugging, pc crowd isn't exactly known for courage and guile.
I fancy my chances against the overpass funeral bumpkin brigade. After about five minutes of artistic expression, I'd have those rubes signed up for the next episode of 'Canada Gotz Talent' and begging for my autograph.

Wait...
...aren't you the guy that celebrated Lenin's birthday a few years ago by sharing a lemon meringue pie and a great big bottle of No-Name brand cola in the park with his friends a few years back?
Now, I am
truly ashamed of my country.

Regimental War diary, 5th Cambridge Front- May 1/2005
Finally a parcel from home! Lemon meringue pie, cola and cigarettes!
I divided the pie amongst the poorer of our socialist parish - we ate the lot in twenty minutes. It's a question of getting as much down as you could before word got round.
Martyred got wind of it and entered our CP to find comrade's cheeks bulging.
'what are you eating', he said, his voice strained.
'weg eahting shome Phibe's pie' came a voice from the dark, sending a stream of crumbs into Martyred's face. Martyred scanned the room. 'Any left?', he said hopefully, but with dignity.
I held up the empty tin.
Martyred paused, clenching and unclenching his fists. 'Next time....'
he never concluded his statement and like an America in Viet Nam, he turned.. and left.

I stand humbled before you, Phibes.
You have proved your mettle, young hero of the Revolution.
