DISH ABOUT THIS FISH

I need you to leave in comments which side of the fish you like better. Rainbow or spots. No wishy-washies please. Decide and post your opinion. It's very important. It's a competition and I am everything when it comes to being competitive. I won't reveal which side is mine, but the other side is Axel's and there are redeeming sides to both.

Axel and I were taking a slow jaunt in Yunxian when we decided to embark on a painting challenge in the middle of the Yunxian square. Southern girl vs. Yankee boy, we've pitted ourselves against each other in this artless battle of the sexes. This fish is the product of that love/hate relationship and the love child whose fate lies in the balance as we need people to decide who. is. better. Good luck, Axel. You're going down.

Candy EVIL

Candy cigarettes. It makes sense why they don't exist in America anymore. We don't want our children thinking that cancer sticks are fun, delightful, delicious or positive in anyway. Good thing where I live, those laws don't exist and hilarity can ensue for adults like me.

Imagine my shock and surprise when I saw a case of these selling at my corner store. I did the only thing that I could think of, and bought 4 packs. FOR SCIENCE. The packaging is thinner than regular cigarettes but is pretty affordable at .50 kuai. = 12 cents? I don't know. The packaging hopes to confuse children and lead them eventually to these classy brands:

The cigarette boxes I found online and I find that the Kent/Kemt boxes are EERILY ALIKE. But boxes aside, what do the insides look like and will children be led astray when they put their candy ciggies in their mouths and will it feel like a real one?

The comparison:

To my relief and yours, I'm sure, the side by side comparison should be pretty simple. (The one on the very right is the REAL ONE) Also, on the box, it states that the candy is gum, BUT it's NOT. It's smartie cigarettes. I know because that space where the real cigarette now lives, used to be a candy cig that I ate. I put the real cigarette there. I don't anyone to think that this is how KEMT hopes children make the transition..... although in a way, it would be kind of evil genius of them. And, the little S in the corner of the KEMT Smoke Candy means that it's been quality inspected so you know that this isn't poison. Yes. Poison for your young mind maybe but literally, no.

Kitties. Watermelons. AHHHH

I've watched this super cute video on YouTube three times. This means I'm sharing it with you because I think it's EAOIH:SOFHS:ODGIH:OH cute! This kitten looks evil and brilliant wearing down the watermelon like a boss!

(Be a) Santa in Shaojie

I'm not 100% positive that my students understand who Santa Claus is but they think he's really cute and they completed their homework assignment by making Santa active! As you can see in the top right, Santa is outdoors by the water, jumping rope. On the left, he's conferencing with Frosty; on the bottom, he's having a shoot out.

I think it's probably good to present Santa has a fat man who looks cute and hangs out around Christmas time, as opposed to a man who gives presents that their wishes desire. Let's be realistic.. :(  BUT If you want to make the fantastic true - please donate to tfchina.org - and email me!
