M Yeah, thanks a lot for your rant, John from the John School Dropouts. I'm the guy that you kicked the TEETH out of at the Burger King. I'm glad to know who you are. I definitely WILL come to your show and it will be to serve you a SUBPOENA. [BLEEP!]

M Hey, who are the John School Dropouts anyway? Did you just mention your name so you'd get printed in the Mirror? Anyway, this is Dean from Psychotic Four. Dean from Psychotic Four. Goodbye. [BLEEP!]

F This is for the guy from the Sainte-Catherines who ranted about things not being underground enough. When you have to have spent at least 15 years in the same place and never made it elsewhere - when that's the only way you can be underground enough - well, that's when things become a boys' club and get really boring. And as for Pony Up! not having gone to all of the local shows since 1990, well, they were probably about 10 years old in 1990. Try to appreciate things that are coming out NOW and things that people like now. Sorry you never made it out of Montreal but some people are and you should appreciate it. [BLEEP!]

F I don't have a rant per se but I have a GUSH. I wanted to say that a while ago I went to the Kitka women's vocal ensemble concert at the Maison de la culture in Ahuntsic. I've actually been frequenting many Maison de la culture's over the past couple of months and I just wanted to praise the wonderful access we have to different artists, exhibits, different CULTURAL THINGS that go on in these culture houses around Montreal that have been funded by the government to give us such access to artists, musicians and performers - I just think it's great. So as much as I have my rants and laments from living in this province at many, many times, today is one of those days where I think this is a great place to live. It's great. [BLEEP!]

M Yeah, I'm a TEACHER at some pretty tough schools around Montreal. This year I ran into a problem - not really a problem, more of an issue - where some kids were dressing like PIMPS, talking like pimps, acting like pimps and I figured we needed to bring this to a halt. So I spoke with them about it, I had a great teaching lesson with them, a wonderful, fantastic lesson. Then I get home today and I'm watching The X that probably 95 per cent of the kids in my class are watching - they're in Grade 5 - and they're talking about pimps. They've got "pimp" across the screen! [BLEEP!]

M This is to all the bitches who won't date me because they don't see me DRIVING A CAR. Well, hello, bitches. Wake up and smell the fucking coffee! Look, I could afford a fucking car every fucking month - and your ex-boyfriends? What are they driving? Their cars are worth, like, 4,000 bucks. I can afford that every fucking month so fuck you! I don't wanna drive because 1) I don't fuckin' know how to drive, and 2) I'm not interested in fucking driving. Get that? It's not because I can't fucking afford it, you fucking bunch of losers!! This is to all you bitches who think I take the metro or a cab because I can't afford it. Fuck you all, motherfuckers! I don't need to brag to show you that I can afford it. [BLEEP!]

M This rant goes out to those student protesters at Montebello. Wake the fuck up. Think outside the box, damn it. What are you gonna change? It's about time the university started MAKING MONEY to pay for top professors who care about their students, for state of the art technology that is up to date in the business world, to improve your student experience at school. If you don't want heavy debt, when you - or, rather, if you - idiots graduate, then instead of wasting your time protesting, bury your nose in your books and be number one in your field and you'll see debt won't be a problem when you graduate. Change yourselves, you morons, and stop blaming your inadequacies on others. You get what you deserve in life. Quebec still has the cheapest tuition in North America - stop whining. [BLEEP!]

M It had to happen. So I'm at the Dollar Cinema and, you know, it's a buck to get in to watch a film - a buck. It's a dollar, okay? And some loser tries to sneak in. I mean, give me a break. And, of course, it's some little shit, around 16 years old. How the hell can you not know wrong from right at that age? It's a buck for nice entertainment. Why not pay what's being asked? Losers. [BLEEP!]

F What the hell is up with all the STUCK-UP LESBIANS in the Gay Village? Especially the ones at Drugstore. You can't even say hi to them without them looking at you like you're some kind of freak. Where are all the 20-something, cute, punked-out lesbians who just wanna have one-night stands, who wanna have some fun once in awhile? Where do you all hang out? [BLEEP!]
