Cheap. Ridiculous. Indigenous.

We read a news bit, which we can no longer find, about basketball player Stephon Marbury. He seems to have endorsed a pair of sneakers, which he wears on the court, and is selling them for a ridiculous price of $15 a pair. The idea is to show consumers how little it costs to make a quality pair of shoes. Aparantly there are crazy lines ups at the stores that sell them, and pairs are limited to two per customer. Crazyness! Because 15$ is cheap for ANYTHING. Except for bottled water.

Ok, so many discussions have been popping up about this band called Wolfmother. The consensus (amongst the... 3 people to whom we have spoken) is that Wolfmother is a ridiculous name, but the music itself is fantastic. The other day we considered purchasing the CD, but the cover art was also ridiculous. Soul got insulted so we left.

There's nothing really to say... Time has slowed to a sluggish pace as we sit at our little counter, waiting to be yelled at by tourists. Someone asked us today if we had any Inuit souvenirs - they seemed so disappointed when we said no, and they kept asking us as if we hadn't understood the first time. This constant request for native american products confounds us, really. Because would indigenous products REALLY remind one of Montreal? Is there some sort of indian essence that we have missed our entire lives? Does one arrive in Montreal, arms thrown open wide, exclaiming "Wow what a place! I really need a pair of moccasins to remind me of this fabulous city!"

On to bigger and better things, i.e., not facebook. ... Okay maybe facebook.
