4- A trip on the 802 – vol. II (my bus)

-

Full of the unexpected and above all of adventure, the 802, my occasional means of transport, is a curious bus route, especially because of its passengers. Women and men, young and old, rich and poor, beautiful (also beautiful, depending) and old (also old, depending) rub shoulders, rub shoulders, look at each other and above all comment on the behavior of others. passengers. The best performances are given between 4:00 pm and 5:30 pm. First, the passengers sweat all day and, if I were racist, I would say some and some, more than others. To believe that we don't have the same "nose"... too easy. Now the best places are in the center. It's like the arena of UFC...for those who don't know, it's about fights where everything is allowed except the blows in the "parts"...Free hand wrestling (to hold on to something), pankration (to get rid of the "gluers") and boxing (to get out through the door or the frame, it depends) are the usual means. But there are also funny moments. One day, when a young girl was gossiping to me about the gallantry of men...I had let her in before me...a lady of a certain age who entered by the front door, made her way in front of me. The driver pulled away a bit abruptly and the lady… probably 75… fell into my arms. For a bit of humor, I say to her, "Ah, ma'am...it's been so long!" … she answered me: "Hey me then"! Then she got off one stop further...lucky one!

10- Farewell Montrealers-Montrealers

-
I have already been in love with the city of Montreal both by the city and by its inhabitants. But that time is behind since Montrealers believed that he could seize the rest of Quebec to achieve their social project. Many times, Montrealers shouted from the rooftops that the rest of Quebec understood nothing of Quebec and that we had to be evangelized. Poor little me… I have 21 years of schooling and I don't understand… neither does my neighbor. We're going to have to sit down on the school benches to take “comprehension 101” courses. I heard from the spouse of a Montreal sculptor that the weapon of artists was art. Does this mean that the other pros will be able to furnish firearms or bladed weapons. It's disarmingly logical or perhaps a bit gypsy… well… well. Politics, sports, cinema, theatre, shows, television, and so on, have become the “comfortable places” of these pseudo-Montrealers. How can we believe these proselytes of the tabarnak, the stie or the kalice who, aft...

6- The Quebec Carnival… instigator of the Vuvuzela

-
In the early 1960s, we were all students partying on St-Jean Street in Quebec City during "THE" Carnival parade. We were huddled together on a sidewalk less than 5 feet...ahem...hey guys, watching the parade of "parade floats" and majorette "bodies"...it was really the bodies we were looking at. The perfect spectator's equipment consisted of 2 things… the cane with its energy drink… gin and orange juice… and, I give you a thousand, a vuvuzela… Quebecers and their carnivals are always 40 years ahead. .. But let's be honest, there aren't many spectators who remember this equipment, because the cane and the vuvuzela don't mix well. You'll try to get your cane screamed in your ears with a 130 decibel device when you've drunk your cane. The 5 minutes of soccer that I saw, including the advertisement on the vuvuzela, made me understand why the times of madness on the part of spectators and players. Surely they didn't take their "...
