Flower Mystery

Hmmm. Do I have a secret admirer? I spent much of the evening across the street at Casa de Pennell, where there was a post show party of sorts. Good times were had. When I finally ended up returning to the ranch, I find flowers on my porch:



So they were probably from my next door neighbour Brad's bush in his front yard. Still, they coudln't have just accidentally landed on my stairs. And I don't think Brad put them there; I'm not his type. So, I can only assume that someone likes me and decided that I should have some flowers. Seeing as how there was no note attached I can't possibly find out who left them there. I therefore ask that the person who left them there contact me at evil_robot_boy (at) hotmail.com. Your efforts will be rewarded; at the very least you will get a thank-you note and a bottle of "Thumbs Up" cola from the 220 Volt store. And at the most I will fall madly in love with you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Who knows.

Mystery Can at work

Today's mystery involves a suspicious tin sitting on my office-mate's desk. It's not some weird military secret, I know that much. It's about two inches high, and about six inches in diameter. It has a fancy lable, on which is written "Cou de Canard Farci."

Don't worry. I know enough French to know what that means. The mystery is not what's inside the can; what I don't understand is why in frink does my office-mate have a can of stuffed duck necks sitting on his desk??

Is it his lunch? He better not be eating his lunch at his desk is all I can say. Dear lord I don't want to know what canned duck necks smell like. Not when they're stuffed with more duck parts, pork, foie gras, eggs, poultry of an unspecified nature, and spices. Oh, and the ingredients list also assures us that the skin has been left on.

Is it something he brought in to show the other summer students? "Oh, aren't we Frenchmen so silly with our ridiculous foods that only other Frenchmen would eat!"

Is it a romantic and/or friendly gesture to my other office-mate? "We've spent all summer working together, enjoying our lunch breaks together. Please accept these miscellaneous animal byproducts as a symbol of my feelings towards you."

Or did my other office-mate buy it for him? "I know you have been missing your native country a lot lately, so here's something that will remind you that France ain't all perfume and wine. And if this don't fix your homesickness, I swear the next thing will be something involving sheep brains."



I think the only way of solving this is to ask them.
