Glorious and Free!
The Science Editor (SE) has determined that condition that rendered Monz lunchless the last several days is a result of a deficiency in a rare but vital enzyme found in abundance in Canada. And since Monz won't go to Canada, we at MYL will bring Canada to Monz, and his loyal readers, with Canadian Mondays!
Today's kahnayleeaydeeah is the story of the Canadian flag. In 1964 the prime minister (Lester B. Pearson) proposed a flag with three red maple leaves set in the middle of a white canvas, blue vertical bars at each end. The most striking feature was the lack of any Union Jacks. The design was unpopular and ridiculed as "Pearson's Pennant," but the Conservative Party couldn't leave well enough alone. In order to ensure that the current, Union-Jacked flag would stay, they proposed the single red maple leaf/red and white design, thinking it would be rejected. The Liberal Party immediately accepted and though the Conservatives tried to back out, it was too late!It's never too late for a lunch rebound, as Monz feasts on a
Gardenburger(tm) portobella mushroom veggie pattie on 12 grain bread, and an apple and then a flax bread twist from Starbucks. We're guessing untoasted.
