This is not Really a Post

…Quebec and back again…

This entry will be very, very short and stunningly uninteresting (I know, they’re all like that…except for being short).

I have twice indicated that I was making half-length entries, and if there keeps going we’ll be facing the blog version of the Paradox of Infinite Divisibility. Instead, you’re stuck with the more conventional Paradox of Me Being Infinitely Tedious.

What I want to clear up is that my dreaded trip to Quebec has come and gone, and it turns out (Peoria be damned!), that I did not have a terrible time. Further, the residents of the previously maligned eastern Quebec were polite, genuinely pleasant, accommodating for my poor skills in French and in possession of the best breakfast I have had in years.

So, if we needed further confirmation that I’m a needlessly derisive jerk (we don’t) here it is.

However, as a result, I’d now like to get outlawed in China. I installed one of those “ClustrMaps” into the site, mostly to help them out since they apparently cannot afford all the letters in their name. In doing so, I discovered that persons living within the People’s Republic of China have viewed The Reasonable Ego.

Now, my “clustr” on the map doesn’t relay a ton of information about the specific location, but rather places a huge, red dot above the homes and businesses of thousands of people. By my best guess I got one hit from Taiwan, but this doesn’t really count and then another from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is of course the remnant of British Colonialism and retains greater freedoms.

However, it is plausible (if not probable) that one of those renegades from within the PRC proper may get through and catch Sinister Fever (the only cure is Scotch whiskey). If they do, I will offer them the following keywords for a search engine that is not Google since they are collaborators (ha!).

Here we go;
China.
Corrupt.
Tyrannical.
Overthrow.
Revolution.
Mao was a Stupid, Fat Hobbit (technically a sentence).
Insurrection.
Destroy.
Mayhem.
Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War! (again, pardon me for using a phrase).

In their place, we will establish a benign dictatorship in which two eggs, prosciutto, melon, a fresh baguette and an entire pot of really outstanding coffee only costs you $4.99.

Vive la revolution, avec le petit-dejeuner!!
