Pace on Earth

That's Amore

Ten years ago (holy crap!) the boys and I piled into North's car (The Fairy, he liked to call it) and headed for Montreal to watch Ben Harper play the Jazzfest. We hit Lennoxville for a night at Calhoun's bar The G. We woke up groggy and hit the road for Sin City. Calhoun hitched a ride with us so we were 6, packed tightly in The Fairy. We were hungover, hungry, cramped and somewhat giddy, as is often the case when driving with Normy. As we pulled into the city we headed for ground zero, Supersexe. At the corner of Rue St.Catherines and University Ave. we encountered bumper to bumper traffic and throngs of people on the sidewalks. As I scanned the crowd I noticed on particular character that was stumbling along trying to make love to a slab of pizza. I said "check this guy out" and the three jokers in the back seat looked to their right simultaneously and broke into smiles at this guy's stumbling state. At the same time he felt the eyes on him and stared back at us. Sensing that he was the butt of our joke he decided to go on the offensive and whiffed his pie at the car. His aim was true hitting the fairy smack in the half open back window. The car bore the brunt but some splatter made it inside and onto Barry's head. Barry, being from the 'Ville yelled back "What the f*ck was that?!" to which our man replied, with utter disdain and a pea soup thick french accent, "A slice of pizza!" Calhoun reached for he door but we pulled him back and drove off in hysterics. The story still makes me laugh.

So why the hell am I telling this story? Well, mostly because it makes me laugh, what else do you want? But also because of this:

You can watch a fuller version of the breakdown of the toss here. In the clip you can the two guys arguing after the pizza toss. I like to think that the victim turned around and yelled "What the f*ck was that?!" to which the drunken tosser replies, with utter disdain and a thick southie accent "A slice of pizza!". I love the how much the announcers love this stuff. Gold.

Pace out.
