'Rude' was patently impossible; Canadians were always polite.
Sam shook her head, now somewhat serious. "The Vancouver Cup Riot started with the Stanley Cup, but it's not right to call it garden-variety when it was the single messiest sports riot we have had. The damage done, for its duration...? Incredible. And about duration; the Maple Spring stuff---don't laugh, that's really what it came to be called---stemmed mostly from student protests, but had some activity from February to September. So I'd say they were both significant, and I'm lucky to have been at both." Lucky the way storm-chasers were lucky, when windshields cracked for the camera.
"Two friends so far." It wasn't exactly an argument, with the tone Sam took; more of an observation. "If you're not exactly good at the socializing thing, you're not half bad at it, either. But anyway, I have to ask; what work would you expect to involve a thirty-six hour stint? If it's Skynet in my apartment, I need to know. If not? I say eh, you can waive the rule if I'm asleep and so unavailable for asking. If you're ever ill through no fault of you own, then, too, the rule's suspended. It sucks being sick, everyone agrees."
