Say cheese everyone!
I'd like to introduce you to my good friend the laughing cow. We have a lot in common, but she tends to betray her national origins a bit too much, being a little bit two-dimensional and obsessed with geometry. Just imagine opening her up to find sixteen identically-sized pieces of cheese inside, each cut at an angle of...let me see...22.5 degrees.
I love her self-referential earrings--in fact I'm thinking of getting a pair done myself. Note that there's not just a single mise en abyme (picture inside a picture) but two in each frame, so every time you look into an earring the number of images doubles. This just goes to show that cows knew about computers long before humans did.
The only thing that worries me is that she's gone on a diet since we last caught up--please, Laughing Cow, I don't want to see you doing down the dreaded légère (light) path please. Remember that your country has laws proudly displaying the fat content of every cheese.
Watch out, or next we'll be hearing about low-fat frozen hamburgers.
