Braveheart was big. Happy Gilmore was big. Combine them, and make a movie where Mel Gibson has to play golf against evil Bob Barker to decide the fate of Scotland. Of course, if Mel Gibson's Braveheart II was about golf, then Liam Neeson's Rob Roy II would have to be about mini golf. But then you'd have to throw windmills and the Dutch into it and the whole enterprise would just get confusing.
Summer also means Edmonton turns into festival city.
There's the Works, the Fringe, Jazz City, the Leaky Tent Festival, Stand in Mudfest '96, and of course Noparkingarama. Sadly, Portapottyalooza had to lose two of its venues this year because of government cutbacks. Edmonton should combine its love of festivals with its other great summer pastime, road construction. We should have Obstructionfest. You pay someone some money to get a license, then you get to go stand in traffic and slow other people down.
