Sometimes the road to hell is paved with poolboys and blood dimonds rather than good intentions.

Living in the wasteland of the free

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
And their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ's disciples
But they don't look like Jesus to me

Iris Dement had Robertson's kind pegged 20 years ago.

Canadian mace dude is a hero.

He took down a gunman in the House of Commons who'd already killed one person, running behind a column for cover, then diving across and shooting up at the gunman and killing him (with an assist to some RCMP dudes who started shooting once Vickers made his move). The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a mace.

Here he is a couple of year later taking down a protestor in Ireland

Pie à la mode wasn’t John Gieriet’s only invention. He received a United States patent for a railroad car ventilating apparatus on June 20, 1882. He also received a patent on October 30, 1899 for a type of fire escape

I know. I looked it up after. Just struck me as comically pretentious. Here we call that pie with icecream.
