Our case today is that of the skinny fox, the urban street-wandering critter that looks like it was pulled through a knothole backwards. What fur remains is matted and askew and where fur once was is but a red rash of infected skin. It has caught the attention of many residents of Orillia, especially when it tottered into Couchiching Beach Park.

Prine never gets caught shouting and banging on the high keys about this. His sense of the super­natural derives more from the ev­eryday wonderment that causes people to invent phrases such as “I felt like I’d been pulled through a knothole backwards” rather than the literature of surrealism (chủ nghĩa siêu thực) or Biblical frescoes (bích họa).

“I lost my first Casper mattress in my divorce and for no real reason other than my ex wife kept the house. I needed to furnish my new place and instead of buying another Casper, I bought a traditional spring coil mattress at half the price. What a mistake and one I will never make again. I should have just slept on the floor in a sleeping bag and saved the extra I needed to buy my second Casper. Now, all is well with the world because in addition to the new mattress, I got 4 pillows, mattress protector, comforter, and 5 sets of sheets that are all Casper products. I’m back to sleeping soundly through the night and wake up not feeling like I was pulled through a knothole backwards.” –Ronald
