Favourite answers from past Post Parades
Brad Forward (above, Nov. 6, 2008):
What’s your favourite movie?
“That’s a tough one. (long pause) My favourite movie is actually Serendipity. My wife finds it pretty funny that it’s my favourite movie.”
Your parents must be happy how it turned out for you?
“Yeah, they’re pretty big supporters behind me, as well. I took my daughter to soccer the other day and she was just playing awesome and I said to my dad, ‘I can see how you feel sometimes. It just makes you feel so good when they’re doing so well.’ We’re pretty sentimental people. I get all choked up if they score a goal. I have to bite my tongue to stop from shedding a tear. My dad is that way, too.”
Who’s the funniest guy in the drivers’ room?
“Mark MacDonald is probably the funniest. Ever since I’ve been in Windsor Raceway it’s been the same thing. There’s been times we’ve come in and we’ve been looking for our shoes and we can’t find them anywhere. The only place you didn’t look was over your heads on the ceiling. They could be tied there, or glued there. There’s so many crazy things that he does.”
Nick Eaves (Jan. 14, 2010):
In university you were involved with Student Painters (which led to your job at WEG) do you do your own painting at home, or did that experience scar you for life?
“My wife would tell you just how inept I am when it comes to all house work, particularly painting!”
Do you supervise the painting projects at WEG?
“Some days I wish that is precisely what I did at WEG.”
Speaking of painting, is it true that in the murals in the Woodbine slot hall, some of the faces in the crowd are former high-level Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) executives?
“That is true. In fact, all of the faces are FORMER OLG executives.”
Jody Jamieson (June 21, 2007):
Hands down, the funniest movie ever made is.....
(laughs) “Dumb and Dumber.”
The Commish
Everyone gets the “If you were the Commissioner of all of harness racing...” question. Here’s the best responses.
Gord Brown (March 18, 2010):
“First of all I would fire myself, then I would kiss John Campbell’s ass and hire him. He is not only awesome, he is very intelligent.”
Angie Siller (Sept. 4, 2008):
“Establish and enforce a robust and uniform policy for medications across all jurisdictions.”
Kelly Spencer (Jan. 5, 2009):
“Commission a world-class research and development company to create a strategic plan that would provide the industry with a proactive roadmap to march forward.”
Handicapping Challenge
Post Parade subjects set the odds when asked the “chances the following will occur in the next 10 years”
You will win the Jug
Randy Waples (June 9, 2005) — “10-1. Even tougher to win than the NA Cup.”

Greg Grismore (Sept. 25, 2008) — “I’m going to be optimistic and say 20-1, all right 15-1.”
Gord Brown (March 18, 2010) — “99-1”
