What does this 54,000 note, cats doing drugs, internet sensation have to do with Minneapolis you ask? Everything. I saw this tonight, and knew I had seen these cats before. A few years ago I bought four Victorian Era trade cards on eBay advertising a drugstore in downtown Minneapolis. I scanned them and put them on my flickr account which I have pretty much forgotten about…until now. Here are the original images… http://www.flickr.com/photos/12279886@N06/3105034619/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/12279886@N06/3105034551/ All you do then is flip the images horizontally, adjust the color, crop out ear/whisker/bow hairs and you have…an exact match. Do I think these images came from me originally? Maybe. Do I advocate drug use among cats? No, that’s why the animal shelters are so full. I guess the moral of the story is that the internet is a small world after all. And it all starts in Minneapolis.
