I've always wanted to be a villain on a children's tv show! :w00t:

Stephen Harper looked perturbed, usually he was able to hide his doubts behind a mask of political indifference, but today he could not.  "Gentlemen," he addressed Captain Canada and Barrister Boy, "Something terrible has happened.  Last night every history text book in Ontario was stolen and replaced with this," he placed a book upon the desk.  It was black and written on the cover was "The Paleologus-Ribbentrop Pact and the Founding of the Modern European State."

"Ye gods," exclaimed Barrister Boy as he thumbed through the book perusing page upon page of maps.  "It's alt-history."

"Poorly written alt history too," noted Captain Canada, reading over Barrister Boy's shoulder.



Tarring me with the mark of a Byzanteen! Disgraceful! It goes without saying Sir, that this means war.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You tell him, Tim.  Use your machine-gun arm.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'll make it up to you, Tim.  I'll ship you and Barrister Boy when I write my own poorly written fan fiction.

Timothy Ortega lolzed as he stared down on Barrister Boy tied to a chair.  Only he wasn't really tied, he was held in place with those iron things that hold people to chairs.  It was a big chair.  "Now I have you in my clutches."

"WTF?  Why did you kidnap me?" asked Barrister Boy.  He knew Captain Canada would rescue him, but he was still mad.  It was the middle of the Stanley Cup and Timothy Ortega didn't have a television.  Plus Tim was always doing shit like writing alternate history versions of hockey games.  Like when the Bruins won, even though they suck.  He'd prolly make Barrister Boy read those.

"Well," Tim blushed furiously, and the room became steamy, like a steam room.  "The truth is I've always had feelings for you.  Like that song by Nine Inch Nails that goes 'I Want to Fuck You like an Animal.'"

"Woah," said Barrister Boy, like Keanu Reeves on horse tranquilizers.  "That's my favorite Nine Inch Nails song too."  Barrister Boy felt he had a spiritual connection to Tim, even though he was a bad guy.  It was like they were soul mates, or something.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I'd like to belatedly say that I'm quite disturbed by this.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

That's putting it mildly...

Yeah.

For one, no mention of the Maple Leafs.  :(

To be fair I did say it was the Stanley Cup finals.  Even fan fiction must have some amount of believability.

They can't even make it to the finals in Timmay's alternate history.  :(

So, is this guy still on his hunger strike, or did the political opposition find this legislative technique too much to handle, and finally give in?   :huh:
