Roundabouts mid-July, Rory, The Lame, The Rod (Lame's brother), Steve (Stankmonkey's brother), some guy named Jay Patel, and Stankmonkey himself drove up to Toronto, ON for GoonCon 2003, which is apparantly some sort of Something Awful gathering of posters. Although he didn't take any pictures at the actual event (too shy?), Stankmonkey did take some of the drive there, the drive back, and a few things that happened along the way. Here they are, with captions by him. [Editor: Dirt]
Day One - 7/18/2003 |
|
[Editor's note: I split these up by day so that there was SOME semblance of order. This is the first.]
 |
Art Van Furniture... Art Van is the stupidest name ever, so it makes for a good picture. |
 |
Random shot of Lame at a gas stop. Also notice Señor Smiles, my antenna ball. |
 |
The Canadian border was friendly. Rory got pulled into customs 'cause he looks like a drug dealer. |
 |
A shot of Toronto from within my car on the way there. |
 |
Toronto has TOWERS. WHEE! |
 |
More Toronto TOWERS!!!! |
 |
HAHAHA Scientology. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. |
 |
Ahh, Harold Clifford. An old guy who told us about life and bought us about 35 dollars' [Editor's note: Canadian, I assume.] worth of alcohol. He was a good guy, even though he was a little too friendly... [Ed: That's Stankmonkey on the left, and Rod on the right.] |
 |
More Harold. [Ed: And Jay.] |
|
|
Day Two - 7/19/2003 |
|
[Editor's note: I split these up by day so that there was SOME semblance of order. This is the second.]
 |
We were walkin' down the street by our hotel, and all of a sudden an Indian parade randomly BROKE OUT. I was like :-0. |
 |
Lots of weird offices. The Pain and Headache Clinic stands out. "Ohh, I got a headache." "Ok. Here's some... MORPHINE." |
 |
Patel took this pic of a nice-lookin' apartment. It's all artsy and stuff. |
 |
We were in the Marriott. At one point we believed that there were not 36 floors in that place. We are STUPID. |
 |
Oh, man. I would love to get away with being called a "Computer Doctor." |
 |
Tobacconists make SWEET cigars. |
 |
Random bar stop to pick up some Cream Ale. |
 |
Another pic of the random stop at a bar. Rod has a Moosehead. |
 |
The Beguiling, a really badassed comic book and art store. Lame bought, like, 170 dollars [Editor: Again, I assume Canadian] worth of graphic novels. |
 |
Had to try these things. They taste kinda like chips dipped in ketchup. Eat too many, though, and you want to projectile vomit while digging your stomach out with a spoon. |
 |
Toronto skyline, taken from within the city. |
 |
Where else can you eat at a crazy bamboo McDonald's? |
 |
The crazy Canadian currency. Notice that the 5 dollar bill has hockey players on it. I don't need to describe how badassed that is. |
 |
Taken from inside Wayne Gretzky's Restaurant. It was obviously a patio. [Ed: That's Rory and Steve in the photo.] It was nice outside. Hot waitresses. |
 |
Another shot from within the Restaurant. The Rod and I had some Amsterdamn beer. |
 |
More Gretzky stuff. |
|
|
Day Three - 7/20/2003 |
|
[Editor's note: I split these up by day so that there was SOME semblance of order. This is the third (and last).]
 |
Rod orders a Blue Lagoon. We told the waitress to make it extra girly. |
 |
I just had to get a picture of gay Rory sleeping. |
 |
[Editor's note: Stankmonkey neglected to caption this photo and the next, so The Lame bravely stepped in.] Arrgh! Blanket monster!!!1!one! |
 |
X-Men use left lane. |
 |
Random pic of me driving. I was told I look "calm and pleasant." [Editor's note: I was told he drives like a maniac.] |
 |
Jay Patel made a sign with the most used catchphrase of the day, "Boobies." I hold it up. |
 |
HAHA. 8 mile doesn't exist on the expressway. |
