So, Michael Moore and I drove to Canada to get more bang
for our buck -- and to see the Canadian premiere of his American Movie. That's
how it works in North American showbiz.
Anyway, back to
"Mike and Me."
Before the 911 movie. We went out for dinner.
And that started off with him once again demonstrating what a cheapskate
he is. Really!
As usual, Michael, lost in a Cannes Con Craze, insisted
on
exotic French & Quebecois cuisine, and on renting 5 limousines ("Because
I can!").
So he drags me to some famous Canadian bistro for
the intellectually superior and documentationally challenged, and then asks me
if I brought my VIZA card.
After I squeak out the words, "yes"
he smiles, picks up the menu, snaps his finger for the Garcon (who promptly arrives
and snaps to attention) and then orders us dinner.
We had the marinated
squid and octopus as appetizers, followed with the broiled oysters under buttered
crumbs…
And then Mickey turned on the culinary demands. He ordered
us the braised sauerkraut, the buttered rice, a caramel lined mold salad, hamburgers
in cream sauce, broiled mushroom caps, grilled sheep brains and orange sponge
cake. Plus lots of port and sherry!
Then he started yelling at the waiters
and made a clumsy pass at our hostess. After that, he gets into an argument with
me over which of is more nonpartisan, and then he goes and picks a fight with
the kid who's cleaning the toilets!
Man, it was embarrassing - again!
I took him outside and punched him in the face.
He suggested
pistols at dawn. I said, "What, Michael, are you crazy?"
He
said, "Oh yeah. Crazy like a freaking socialist millionaire. I could buy
and sell your sorry ass."
Then he threw up all over the Canadian
place and made give him a piggyback to the movie theatre.
Talk about your
long days.
