Raised by a pair of pious Catholic Canuck mental-cases: both alcoholic, widowed at 19 after 6 months of marriage, 20 years hard time in 2nd marriage, raised 4 kids plus 1 stray, worked series of crap jobs (self-educated) Mostly satisfied and happy with life but not blind to the shitty side.
I am enthusiastically cynical, respectful and respectable, intolerant of phonies but fully capable of quality bullshit when the need arises. I also know how teargas smells.

Rotten enough?
