First a few questions.
- The Monopoly Man - Does he wear a Monocle or not?
- IS it the Berenstein or Berenstain Bears?
- Nelson Mandela or Mandala?
- Fruit of the Loom -- their logo - does it have a Cornucopia or not?
- Jif or Jiffy Peanut Butter?
Stumbled upon this probably wingdoodle video that blames it all on CERN.

Now, given that I remember most of this history just like everyone else - the Monopoly man has always had a Monocle, Berenstain Bears, the Cornucopia in Fruit of the Loom, and while I'm not buying this theory it doesn't necessarily need my approval...

And what's-her-name informs me about the members show at the Nelson Art Gallery.
All members eligible; they're using both galleries, works will remain up and for sale the entire 3 months of summer and time now for me to get off my ass, get cracking; 5 weeks isn't nearly enough time but it'll have to be enough, my jeep this summer depend on it....

This was, of course, up to every standard I've come to expect of him. The names of the Characters and Institutions - W.A.S.T.E., N.A.D.A, an existential crisis; Yoyodyne industries, Scurvham, Oedipus Maas, Wharfinger, Invarity; Gengis Cohen; Inigo Barfstable; Oedipus Maas; Dr. Hilarius (The Therapist), Watus, imaginary people in imaginary places trying to puzzle out the mystery of their lives...blurred lines between fantasy and reality.
Masterpiece, no further reviews are possible.

Now - this one punched well above what I thought it would, and I wished I'd watched it in theatres or at least on a big screen TV and LOUD.
It was a recommendation by a fellow cinephile neighbour - and I had a few recommendations for him as well, but before I asked about them I thought it polite to watch his recommendations.
This was excellent. And before I go on, there will be a few spoilers. So - read more only if you've seen it...
