NON-WORKINGMONKEY IN CANADA, DAY 4: I Go To The Supermarket

Regular readers will be well aware of my obsession with fancies (fondant and otherwise). I can often be found, tiny little monkey hands pressed against shop windows, marvelling at the miracles performed by master bakers across the world; sometimes, in idle moments (of which I have many), I imagine myself turning those same little monkey hands to some fondant-manipulation of my own!

Well may you imagine my joy last night upon perusing the cake department of the supermarket nearest to the residence of a certain pathologist friend of mine - for what should I find but an entire menagerie of cake animals.























But stop - what is this? What are the white things, and why are the frogs? Have the cats contracted feline cake-rabies? What has happened to the white thing at the front? (And do we think, bearing in mind the current exchange rate, that $1.75 (Canadian) per rabid cake animal is a fair price?)

The white things are meeces. And the one in front looks very sad. Maybe because you did not spend $1.75 Canadian to rescue him.

Blame the frog! If it is a frog... I'm a little nervous about those green things now, and not entirely sure they are harmless amphibians. They look a lot like gape-mawed alien zombie slime monsters to me. The brown things however are obviously meant to represent common voters - you can tell by their smug self-satisfaction and the way they are pointedly ignoring the evidence of violence and corruption. You know, there's a sociological doctoral thesis lurking in that pastry tray...

The mice look like the brown lumpy thimgs (WTF are they meant to be?)jumped all over them. NO NON WORKING MONKEY! do not spend your $1.75 until someone makes more of an effort.

I think they are lab mice and something's gone very wrong with the experiment

It's the cold and rain that reduced them to this.

Is that a tiny footprint on the front of the first white mouse? He does look a little squished and his nose is misplaced.

Maybe the frogs are peacekeepers between the cats and the mice?

I almost forgot...it's fiddlehead season. Be sure to have some before you go. You can find then at the Atwater or Jean Talon market or even a few IGAs.
