One of the more interesting local landmarks is a panhandler who has his practice set up on the Mackenzie King Bridge. I started noticing him ever since I came to this city, every time I walked up the bridge to the Rideau Centre. I’ve seen him in stills in the university newspaper, or in passing while taking the bus along the transitway. Ever since winter started though, he’s been wearing a very blue, very “Toronto Maple Leafs” toque. I wonder if someone gave it to him, or whether he procured it himself, using the change given to him by his fellow citizens and Sens fans.
It’s a dangerous thing to be wearing such a high profile hat in this city. Especially when one is so easy to find.
I fuggin hate that guy.
And yeah.. Same goes to the smart people who put up Leafs flags on their cars. As I said on my blog, sure.. if you LIKE having your car keyed. ;)
I think Ottawans are fanatical about it because the Leafs kick our ass every year.
