Nobody’s special in the front row at a comedy show. # the Canadian tribunal, and the dykes should grow a pair — of course I have no idea what the comedian said, so I reserve the right to retract.

Depending on what was said, I don’t know if I disagree with this. Well, I think a civil lawsuit would be the remedy... not fines by the government thought police.

M: Well, I was told outside that...
Q: Don’t give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
M: What?
Q: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
M: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I’m not going to just stand...!!
Q: OH, oh I’m sorry, but this is abuse.
M: Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
Q: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.
M: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
Q: Not at all.
M: Thank You.

“Earle’s lawyer Jim Miller had argued during the hearing that his client was entitled to freedom of artistic expression under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Earle had also claimed that the couple heckled him while he was on stage and that Pardy threw a drink in his face.

Pardy denied she was heckling him and said Earle pointed at them and told the audience they were sitting at the “dyke table.””

****

It’s nice that the offended couple wanted to rise above stereotypes such stereotypes as vindictive and quick-to-become-offended.

Luongo has been terrible the last two games. If Vancouver loses the series, it will be a mighty choke.

B.C. Human Rights Tribunal

Isn't a human rights tribunal an oxymoron, anyhow?
