That makes Canadians play Guilds!

I just posted this thread: http://www.letstalkguild.com/ltg/showthread.php?178024-Yet-another-Guild-Sighting about Carl Newman from the Canadian band New Pornograhers who plays Guilds. While searching for photos of him I ran across a freind of the band, Carey Mercer whom also plays a Guild.

I note with irony one of the more unintentionally controversial threads on LTG was titled "Something in the water in Toronto?" but did not involve Canadians and Guilds.

Whenever I hear that phrase now, I'm reminded of this classic episode of Star Trek:

Sulu_Fencing.jpg

The Naked Time, season 1 episode 4 :
"One of the Enterprise crewmen, Joe Tormolen, removes his glove while examining the space station, and is contaminated by a strange red liquid. When Lt. Tormolen and First Officer Spock return to the ship they are given a clean bill of health by Chief Medical Officer Dr. McCoy, but Tormolen notices a strange itch on his hands, and begins to act irrationally.....
As the affliction spreads, Sulu abandons his post on the bridge and begins acting like an 18th century sword-fighter," (A very happy swordfighter, D'Artagnan, in fact...) "running around the ship and challenging everyone to a duel.
McCoy manages to avoid the affliction and finds that the water on Psi 2000 has a complex chain of molecules, which, once in the bloodstream, affects people in a similar way to alcohol, depressing the centers of judgment and self-control."
Something in the water, indeed....similar to alcohol...in September of 1966... I guess that's how they got it past the censors of the era.
We now return to our regularly scheduled veer.

"The Laws Have Changed" and "Letter From An Occupant" by the New Pornographers are two of my favorite songs.
