A Brief History of the Great Canadian Moose Riders

The Moose Riders coat of arms.

We were surprised, in our recent trip to Ottawa--Canada's other capital--to see a parade of a serge-coated militia. Was it the famed Royal Canadian Mounted Police trotting down the main street on horses? No! These men (and they were all men, as far as this correspondent could discern) were riding that symbol of the Canadian wilderness--the moose.

Meese? But surely they can't be ridden?

We crouched behind a lamp-post and consulted our guide book. No mention was made within the first five pages, but there they were right in front of us, a squad of massive herbivores marching stately on their skinny legs, proudly displaying their massive horns. On their backs sat the Canadian militia in their best dress uniform swaying slightly with the rolling gait of the mooses: red serge coats (this being Canada and all, all formal jackets are red), bear-skin hats and single-shot muskets. The flags were gold and red, and bagpipers marched at the rear. It was a formidable sight!

Moose don't have hooves, so they moved quite quietly on the asphalt. And then, almost as soon as it began, it was over. The squad turned a corner and disappeared. The din of the bagpipes was drowned out by the barrage of polite car horns.

There Must Be Somewhere To Buy Used Panties

When you were jarred from your cozy, peaceful slumber this morning by the whining, annoying sounds of AM music from your girlfriend's $9 alarm clock radio, and noticed the worn red lace seams and stretched elastic waistband of your lover's recently-worn undergarment hanging from a corner of the four-poster bed, you were probably asking yourself: "where in the world would I buy be able to buy a seemingly comfortable pair of used panties...if I was so inclined?". One would think that with so many "retro" style boutiques and shops that sell collectible clothing items, that someone, somewhere...
