Now THAT Is Relaxed

Does the sign in the background really say Tonkanese soup? Isn't that a type of dog?

Peter: 10th Feb 2006 - 16:40 GMT

i have a tonkinese cat... despite the fact that shes named "stella" and rests on a burberry scarf, she is not, in fact, a chav:

...and im sure she would make a terrible soup.

him musta got aholt o sum good ganja mate. n is dat a bird or a pony tail comin outta da back o his head?

Leon: 10th Feb 2006 - 18:05 GMT

You positive he wasn't dead?
In cases like this, always find a nice pointy stick to jab the subject with.

I'm pretty sure that's a pigeon petruding out of the back of his head.

Leon is right, it's a pigeon. He was snoring, so I assume he was alive.

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 10th Feb 2006 - 20:42 GMT

Duh! How could I forget Tonkinese is a cat? We had Siamese and Burmese cats growing up. Loud buggers. Very smart. I seem to remember seeing Stella with a lamp on her head.
Back to the original picture: If this were a Tarantino flick, there would be arterial spray everywhere.

Back to the food sign, anybody know what a Vietnamese sandwich is?

And the pigeon is clearer now

btw, before anyone asks, the location is Fort and Ste-Catherine in Montreal, just across the street from the CHOM-FM/MIX96 studios

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 10th Feb 2006 - 21:11 GMT

Look Peter! It totally is cat soup! Now I dread to think what's in a vietnamese sandwich.

Jono Cono: 11th Feb 2006 - 00:06 GMT

Vietnamese sandwiches are actually pretty good, simple and very cheap ($2). The basic sandwich is called "Banh Mi" classic French-Vietnamese sandwich, usually served or crusty or soft baguette. There's all kinds of course, including chicken, pork, certain ingredients include: fresh herbs, hot thai peppers, pickled vegetables, zesty dressings, cilantro.

Enough with the dumb comments, John. Don't forget, I have pics of YOU, too. So be careful.

Ummm, Editor...
Many thanks for cleaning up this page. But my response to some deleted posts is still here, which now makes it look as though I am giving shit to an innocent (and actually quite helpful) Jono Cono. Could you be so kind once again as too remove my post of Feb 20th, 02:42? And this one, too?

EvilGentleman: 8th May 2007 - 21:53 GMT

Editor, could you please remove my comments dated Feb 20, 2006? A friend of mine was being a pain in the ass and I was trying to stop him. His comment was deleted, but my response (and the subsequent deletion request) remain.

Here is where the picture was shot. The restaurant is long gone, replaced by the "Twins Pub". The bench was in front of the supermarket on the N side of the intersection.
