Don't bother.  Things are just as pathetic up here.

*grin*  When Supertramp toured a while ago (last summer? the year before? --
and yes, they did play some good stuff in the first part of the set, before
descending into Breakfast in America drivel) the Toronto gig was at Ontario
Place, an entertainment/restaurant/recreation complex on an island (there are
pedestrian bridges to it; it's not very far offshore).  As we were all leaving,
a big crowd bunched up waiting to cross the narrow bridge, a pub along the
route was blasting out Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You".  Hardly
obscure, but sublimely apropos.  A lot of the people in the crowd started
singing along.

I had little choice :-)

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
