Taking over the world, one mall at a time

The Duck has been somewhat absent from her blog of late, and with good reason. She has been working hard on her latest henious plot to take over the world, which saw her travel all the way to Fargo, North Dakota (and/or Minnesota) in the innocent guise of a folk dancer for the purpose of making some daring raids on unsuspecting American SuperStores - which, like the restaurant portions, all seem to be proportionately sized for the Friendly Giant. Or very large trolls.

These stores all seem to have been named by the same giant übercorporation, as these names all seem to begin in a synonym for "ridiculously large" (Mega, Super, Big, and so on) and end in a random noun also signifying "ridiculously large" (Walmart, Target, K-Mart). Furthermore, these large beige rectangles, the Kraft Dinner of architecture, all manage to look suspiciously identical to each other, both outside and in. They swarm together - or, conversely, hunt in packs - these terrifying examples of When Bricks go Bad. They stick out like sore thumbs on the lushly flooded prairie. And on the prairie, sore thumbs stick out a loooong way.

These SuperStores have not only taken over countless helpless American cities, they are also heading north to Canada. In the several months since she was last at home, so many of them have sprung up in Blue Duck's city that she had trouble recognizing some of the outlying suburbs. These SuperStores are clearly Not Good, EH? Which is why Blue Duck was seen frequenting them last weekend - it always pays to know one's enemy, eh? And all those dangerous sugar-weapons which the American Junk Food Cartel cruelly withholds from the Canadian candy market..

Her undercover work was of course not Blue Duck's only purpose in Fargo. But as she is going to have her teeth removed tomorrow morning she must stop eating until 2 pm tomorrow once she goes to bed - so she is heading off for a snack now. More to come soon of Blue Duck's Excellent Adventures, as well as the Movie Shoot Saga, how to do a Hungarian Wedding Dance, and her progress on the Project From Heck....
