Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

From their kids? So not ever going there.

From their husbands/partners, I'd assume.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know if my dad's just a shitty husband, but when we were growing up, mother's day was just something for kids to gift for. Nah, not a dad thing, because father's day was just for us to buy gifts for too.

Basically, oonu weird.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

From their kids? So not ever going there.

Oh yeah, no.

So basically, something that we are running out of and is increasingly rare is just POURING INTO THE OCEAN and POISONING IT.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Tomato-basil tower. So gorgeous!

Yep, if the new estimate is right, in 52 days it will equal the Valdez in quantity. There's a good chance it will take months to stop unless the well stops on its own.

Now, you know I had to read the comments after reading that and I am ASTOUNDED at people.

Beautiful! But kind of cruel of them to post it when tomatoes worth eating are still a good 3-4 months away.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Tomato-basil tower. So gorgeous!

Mmmmm. I would add good mozzarella, though, b/c I love caprese.

And it only took 4 comments for it to start. Amazing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good luck, Theo! You're due.

Emmett's got an after school project that involves roaming around in the big hill near his house and filming a trailer to an imaginary movie. It's a school project and has something to do with Sierra Leone. I imagine they're going for some combo of Blair Witch and Blood Diamonds.

I'm hoping he doesn't get into the poison oak.

Speaking of school projects, my college friend John just sent me a youtube link to a film school project he shot as a music video, starring me and our friends. It's all very 1983, though good considering this was shot on film before easy digital effects and editing. I had completely forgotten we'd done it and barely recognized myself.
