Items Available For Purchase, Possibly As Gifts

As I believe I have mentioned in this space a few times before, I have a store on Zazzle, where various items are for sale with designs I produced from pre-1923* sheet music covers. If you bought one of them, I would get some money, which would be pretty cool.

This is the one that started it all, because I wanted a poster of this design and couldn't find one. I bought the sheet music on Ebay and had it scanned at a place in Berkeley that usually does much more artistic stuff, and then cleaned it up a bit in GIMP.** I think it turned out okay:

Then I learned how to do about three more things in GIMP and pulled out just the bear, and put it on a shirt:

The Eh Files

Quebec Police Investigate Massive Maple Syrup Theft

Some questions:

At what point in your criminal career does it seem like a good idea to steal maple syrup? 

Are there specialists in this?

Will one of them appear in Ocean's 18.3.1, played by Dana Carvey?

How do you fence it?

"Hey, so I know a guy who knows a guy who can hook us up with some of the good stuff, man. I'm talking like, primo Montreal grade A amber, you got me? This stuff is sweet."

Should law enforcement be taking a close look at this group?

Or how about these hardened criminals?

"Strategic maple syrup reserves?"

What kind of strategy involves maple syrup?

Should Buffalo be worried? 

Bonus conspiracy theory:

I recently learned that FEMA maintains a "Waffle House Index" as a way of judging the severity of a storm's effects on an area by what they're serving, based on that chain's top-notch disaster-response strategy. ("If you get there and the Waffle House is closed?" FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate has said. "That's really bad. That's where you go to work.") But I ask you, what does a company known for getting back on track no matter what the circumstances do when their supply chain is disrupted? Might a stockpile of unattended syrup be too tempting a target? What's a little light larceny when compared with the needs of a desperate, waffle-loving public?
