Today I was walking up the street and witnessed some neighbours struggling to back their oversized SUV out of their driveway onto the tiny car-lined street on which we live. As I was grumbling my usual anti-SUV thoughts to myself I noticed their eco-friendly hybrid car was charging in their driveway.
I've noticed the monster and the hybrid sitting, like two strips of parallel bacon, side by each in the driveway before and it makes me wonder each time.
Well, I suppose they're trying to do their bit.
"two strips parallel bacon, side by each" - AWESOME! My dad says that all of the time.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what it's from? Something in the back of my brain thinks it's some sort of sketch about a French-Canadian speaking English.

Hiya,
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't know where that came from actually. It's just something I heard once (quite possibly on CBC) when I was young and it stuck with me. I tried looking it up online, but with no results. I did find a quite detailed description of how to prepare humans for human consumption and considered posting it, but I decided against it.
I don't mind your SUV because you live in the great white north and actually need one to drive over snowbanks and through storms and up and down the camp hill and other useful and rural things. It's the urban SUV drivers whereby people have nothing more than a few snotty, whinging children to cart around, and no obstacles other than 4 inch curbs and smaller cars to plow over that I have issue with.
