Métis Fear 313

The Elephant And The Bad Baby by Raymond Briggs. That baby was so bad.
The Elephant And The Bad Baby by Raymond Briggs
Métis Fear 313: whose definition of "bad" are we using here?  Are we imposing our values on this baby and elephant?  Take back the word.  Maybe they are just making mistakes so they can learn and we need to let them be?

Nanabush thinks this meeting is stupid



Nanabush thinks this meeting is stupid: MacBerger 2017
Was inspired during a recent meeting and left wondering what Nanabush would think of all the point spinning.  Would he hate it or be really good at it?



New species alert

We found this mooseicorn wandering in one of our local parks.  Having to adapt to market pressures, the moose community has decided to rebrand appeal to young children.  The moose marketing board worked with the moose community to selectively breed for the addition of the new horn and is hoping to expand the range of colours available over the next year.  "Moose have gotten the reputation of being boring.  The younger generation just isn't interested in them anymore." explained marketing chairman B. Moose.  Business plans shared by the marketing board suggest that the mooseicorn will be working with key social media influencers and rap personalities to build and expand the moose plus brand.  They hope that the mooseicon will be able to translate their initial success into global marketing deals that will benefit all moose, even the boring brown ones.

White collar squirrell

This picture raises two questions for me 1. What would coffee do to a squirrel? 2. How has squirrel adapted from life of gathering nuts and running through the trees to paperwork and office towers?  Be kind to your cube mates - they might be squirrels in disguise.
