Film Quote of the Day (1 of 3): Monkey Business

Captain Corcoran: [describing the stowaways] One of them goes around with a black moustache. 
Groucho: So do I; if I had my choice, I'd go around with a little blonde. 
Captain Corcoran: I said, one goes around with a black moustache. 
Groucho: Well, you couldn't expect a moustache to go around by itself. Don't you think a moustache ever gets lonely, Captain? 
Chico: Hey, sure it gets-a lonely. Hey, when my grandfather's beard gets here, I'd like it to meet your moustache. 
Groucho: Well, I'll think it over; I'll talk it over with my moustache. Tell me, has your grandfather's beard got any money? 
Chico: Money? Why, he fell hair to a fortune.

My Email to Pan Am Representatives in Support of West Harbour

In case you haven't been following, there has been a great war raging in Hamilton over the site of a proposed Pan American Games stadium that would also be the future home of the Hamilton TiCats CFL team.  Anyone who has been following my twitter feed will know that I'm a supporter of the West Harbour location, a progressive site in the age of Peak Oil, environmental awareness, and urban reorganization.  The TiCats have argued for a site in the suburbs of Hamilton stating that their fans want a "driveway to driveway" experience and that they will lose money at the West Harbour site.  The point of this post is not to argue one way or another.  You can see the differing opinions at the following two websites:

• Our City, Our Future (West Harbour - City's preferred site)
• Go East Mountain (East Mountain - TiCats preferred site)

The folks over at Our City, Our Future have done a tremendous job of running a grass roots campaign for the West Harbour and have amassed over 3,400 supporters to date.  They have asked for supporters to begin emailing our elected representatives at the provincial and federal levels as well as the members of the Pan Am Host Committee.  My email to these representatives is after the jump...

Kaminski: You must be out of your fucking mind! 
[He tosses his grenade aside] 
Daskal: Now. Together. 
[Daskal pulls the grenade pin]
