GOT BANANAS?

Spotted in Central District, on the corner of Queen’s Road West and Wyndham earlier today:



The three young women in black behind the banana pile are responsible. I have no idea why. There were no signs, and they weren’t chanting anything. Protest? Art? Marketing stunt? Religious ritual? Andy Kaufman tribute?

Either way, when I passed the same corner three hours later, the women and the bananas were gone. So I’m going with Kaufman Tribute until I hear otherwise.

Unsolved fruit mysteries,

DEAD END SHRINE

Spotted on my way out of the back door of the Wellington Street branch of Pacific Coffee, shortly after the Sidewalk Banana Incident: a Guan Yu shrine at the end of an alley.



I am on a roll today, me.

FUN FACT: No application is required to film a movie in this alley.

Man on the street,

FOR MY NEXT TRICK, I’LL NEED A VOLUNTEER

The good news: many of you have a three-day weekend coming up.

The other news: it kicks off with Valentine’s Day. Whether that’s good or bad depends on whether you (1) recognize it as a legitimate holiday, and (2) have Someone Special to share it with.

If you fit (1) and (2) and love everything VD stands for, good for you. But please look away now.

Because for everyone else, it’s time for Team Def to bring balance to the Force with Beautiful Valentines For Ugly People, our annual critique of Valentine’s Day – in the form of an illegal music podcast full of songs that aren’t written by Dianne Warren. Because it’s tradition. And because it’s not fair to let bedsitter23  do all the work.

PRODUCTION NOTE: You don’t have to hate Valentine’s Day to enjoy this comp. But you do need a sense of humor. I genuinely dislike VD personally, for reasons I have already posted, but I try to keep these things entertaining too. I mean, it’s not like I’m holding teddy bears hostage or anything to get my point across.
