The Oakville Chainsaw Massacre. Almost.

During University of Guelph summer holidays, Gazza, JV and I used to wash windows in Oakville, Ontario. We'd get up at 5:30 and usually work through until 7 or 8 at night. Long hours, but $600+ a week was a fortune to a student, and we'd usually get to take the entire month of August off. Those two summers were hectic - there were good experiences and bad experiences on the job. We once washed a house made entirely out of glass which was pretty cool. But then there was the time we were scrubbing siding with TSP and paint chips began to flake off like confetti. They clogged a storm drain and then flooded a very nice lady's finished basement. That went over like a belch in church.

My point being, summer jobs in O-Town can be stressful - but never once did I consider mutilating a co-worker (alright, so maybe there was that one time Gary yelled at me after I shattered a toilet tank by dropping a window pane on it). Apparently times have changed. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Jesus Chainsaw Massacre DVD has now outsold Return of the King. Even the church is getting into torture and dismemberment. Gratuitous violence seems to be the order of the day, and in Oakville - it was yesterday.

Long story short (I have real work to do) crew of landscapers are working at a job site at Lakeshore and Navy Street near Sharkey's. Female landscaper makes comment to male landscaper who also happens to be doing treework with a loud, smoking Husqvarna. Male landscaper loses his sheehiznit and buries chainsaw in female landscaper's back. Read it for yourself here.

I also find it odd that Gazza submitted this story, and was recently photographed with the chainsaw man himself, Leatherface. And by odd I mean really disturbing.
