I decided to pop into Northmart after work to pick up some supplies for cupcakes for the bake sale on Friday and who do I see....Polar Man! Polar Man is an Iqaluit based super hero. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. He has an outfit, a secret identity and, the last time I was here, a side kick...a pet rat. The second I saw him memories of the summer of 2004 came flooding back. My friend Steph and I saw him one day walking down the street, so we turned the infamous Tracker around and stalked, I mean followed, him up the street to Fantasy Palace. We wanted a photo, but were unable to get one. And, that is the story of my short lived career as a member of the paparazzi. To read more about him visit this site: http://www.superheroeslives.com/reallife/polarman_(2003).htm
He even went as a Polar Man action figure for Halloween. I saw a picture of the costume and it was AMAZING! Some of the guys at either Northmart or Ventures decorated this big box for him to wear. If I can find a picture of it I'll put it up. I love how quirky this town can be!
FYI:
My six items at the Northmart came to $23.99.....
Lantic Sugar (2 kg) - $6.75
Betty Crocker Whipped Frosting - $3.99
Duncan Hines Cake Mix - $3.95
Oranges (2) - $2.31
Veggie Spinach Nuggets - $6.99
I decided to pass on the diet coke because a 12 pack was $13.99. I know!

I had two diet cokes last night, they were very refreshing, they were nice and cold and let me tell you they hit the spot.
What is with the spinach nugget things? Are you a vegetarian now?
For a small fee I will import you diet coke, I know people who know people.
that actually is not too bad a price for icing and cake mix. I agree with the nugets....yuck.
