The Ford Bros. do latch on to a new favourite word or phrase every so often.
I've challenged myself to dig up a
Ford Maxim of the Month, so here goes:
2013
January: "They want to kill him. They want to politically kill him" (Doug)
February: "a great day for democracy" (Rob)
March: "pathological liars" (both)
April: "explain how politics works" (Rob)
May:
loooooong silence - something about a video? followed by "maggots" (Rob)
June: "I'm not getting into personnel issues" (Rob on 'Dave from Scarborough')
July: "Rob Ford is the taxpayer's lord" (
guest appearance)
August: "a couple drinks" at Taste of the Danforth (both)
September: "SOBs" (Doug)
October: "Subways, subways,
subways!" (a shrieking Rob fleeing reporters)
November: "outright war" (Rob)
tied with "I don't throw friends under the bus" (Rob)
December: "taking pictures of little kids" (both)
2014
January: "Grandstanding" (both)
tied with "unglued" (Doug)
To be continued, unfortunately...
Award yourself one point for each time you facepalmed while reading this list.
As a bonus, I would also like to share this little gem of a quote which I unearthed during my November 2013 research:
I don't think there is any comment I could pass upon that last one; it speaks for itself.
I'd love to hear more apt suggestions for any particular month! My research was not exhaustive and my memory is not perfect, although I find staying away from crack is a big help when trying to keep a clear head.
