Summary: September 15, 2015 - Sammy & Ben welcome in studio guest, medium Miss Olivia DuPont, however a miscommunication of her talents brings up some painful memories that both Ben & Deputy Troy wish to forget.
[podcast intro music]
Sammy
[agitated] I’m not gonna debate you ma’am, I’m just trying to say that gravity really isn’t something that’s up for discussion, sheesh.
Ben
[amused] Don’t take it personally. Mrs. Bodenheimer told me in third grade that she didn’t believe in air.
Sammy
…conditioning?
Ben
Oh, no! Air. In general. She thought oxygen was a satanic fairy tale concocted by God-hating scientists.
Sammy
[disbelieving] Yet she was in charge of educating you and hundreds of other youngsters.
Ben
College diploma goes a long way in a little town, buddy.
Sammy
Alright, well up next we’ve got a pretty interesting visitor coming in studio with us.
Ben
Hopefully so!
Sammy
O— you don’t know her?
Ben
I do not, but she sent us a ton of emails during the electrolocaust and said she was a big fan.
Sammy
All of them say she has a special talent she’d like to share with us and the listeners
Ben
Absolutely, and she’ll be coming up after a word from our sponsors.
[dramatic eerie music]
Announcer
On the season premier of the nation’s number one paranormal investigation show: Mission Apparition. [theatrical crash] Dan and the team find themselves in a sticky situation. [static]
Dan
[echoing] They had to shut this place down after all the accidents. This is Tanner’s Taffy factory and it’s been abandoned since 1991. [static]
Announcer
…or has it?
Dan
There’s, uh— God there’s a lot of EVP activity around [walkie talkie sound] Larry, Larry I’d think you better go.
[theatrical crash]
Dan
[walkie click] [hushed] Larry? Larry! [walkie click] Larry go!
Larry
[creepy, ascending, violin-screech sound effects] [through walkie] I see the lights, man, I see it
Dan
Larry move your ass!
Announcer
It’s another can’t-miss episode from the show that doesn’t miss a thing when it comes to the extraordinary: Mission Apparition
[News music]
NEWS ANCHOR
Season premier, tonight at 9pm on King Falls Channel 13.
[KFAM theme]
Ben
That is- ridiculous.
Sammy
We’re live, Ben.
Ben
I know! It doesn’t change the fact that “Mission Apparition” sucks as much as the channel that shows it.
Sammy
It sounded pretty interesting to me.
Ben
Dan and Larry from that show? wouldn’t know what to do in a haunted situation to save their lives. Stupid meters and light particles, [“stupid voice” imitation] “oh hey I know! let’s shoot some night vision so everything looks pretty scary and suspect!” Idiots.
Sammy
You don’t have to get hot about it.
Ben
Oh, I’m just fine, Sammy. I’m simply saying, Mission Apparition is a dumb show Made by dummies For dummies.
Sammy
Ladies and gentlemen, please be sure to direct all your hateful tweets to @kingfallsam and we’ll make sure Ben answers each and every one.
Ben
Get at me twitter! #bringit
Sammy
*laughs* On a different note, we have a guest in studio with us tonight. She is a self-professed medium—
Olivia
[slight South African accent] Miss Olivia DuPont. Heh, see I knew it was coming.
Sammy
[laughing] You’re good Miss DuPont. So Ben tells me you emailed us in hopes of coming on the show?
Olivia
I was very eager to come visit my favourite late-night AM talk show and maybe help some people with some closure along the way.
Ben
Thanks Miss DuPont, we are happy to have you.
Olivia
Oh, please call me Golden Owl. *Who-whoo who-whoo!*
Sammy
Ummm…
Olivia
*Laughs* What a hoot and riot, you should have seen your face Sammy. Please, call me Olivia.
Ben
Ha. S- soo… um, you aren’t from King Falls, is that correct?
Olivia
That is, I live a few towns over. Up in Big Pine. That’s where my shop is as well.
Ben
I love Big Pine! I- I used to go camping there as a kid! It’s beautiful and so laid-back.
Sammy
Laid-back? I didn’t know it got slower then King Falls!
Ben
You’ll have to excuse Shotgun Sammy here, he’s a Big City guy.
Sammy
Anyway, so how did you find out that you had this talent, Olivia? That you were a medium.
Olivia
Oh, from a very young age. My parents were veterinarians and we lived in an apartment above their office, so I used to hear- so many lost souls. Day in and day out.
Ben
Lost souls? Wh-why were these people hanging out at the vets?
Olivia
[confused] People?
Sammy
I’m sorry, Olivia. Maybe we’ve got our wires crossed here. We were under the impression that you were a psychic.
Olivia
[firmly] Medium. Psychics are low life charlatans.
Sammy
I’m sorry, a medium.
Olivia
A medium is someone whose 6th sense is so in tune, so aware, that a bridge is made to the other side, in which we can communicate with our loved ones.
Ben
Uh, but- but again why were the souls of people hanging out at your parents’ vet office?
Olivia
*scoffs* What does this have to do with people, Ben?
Sammy
Okay, this bridge that you’ve-you’ve built to the other side. Is it not for people?
Olivia
[laughing] Heaven’s no!
Ben
I’m lost.
Olivia
Well I’m- one of a kind, I get human interference from- time to time, you know [long-suffering] a mother looking to reconnect with her kids, a brother that died in the war. Ugh. I ignore that. This is about our deceased loved ones. The furry kind, or feathered! or what-have-you.
Ben
Wait. You talk to dead pets?
Olivia
Harsh, but not incorrect Ben.
Ben
[growing slightly frantic]Oh, no, see I-I-I booked you so we could talk about your gift and take some calls from the listeners, but—
Olivia
We can take calls Ben.
Sammy
So, to be clear, you have contact with human spirits and you just toss them to the wayside to talk to Fido.
Olivia
*laughs* Anyone can talk to deceased humans, Sammy, especially here in King Falls. This place is beaming with activity- even the two of you could do it if you tried. But nobody talks to our long-lost pets.
Ben
I’m sorry, this isn’t what we were looking for Miss DuPont.
Olivia
Golden Owl. Hoh, excuse me boys *loud sigh* this one is coming on strong! MMMOOooo MMMrrrr… Moo. *loud sigh* Sorry boys,[solemnly] that was- that was a rough one. Cassie the Cow was crying out. She lived in one of those factory farms and she- *deep breath* was using me to tell the world about her last days in the Cowschwitz[sic].
Sammy
Okay folks, we’re sorry. Just give us a minute or two so we can uh… So we can get this—
Olivia
I seeee… a dog? forgive me- AAAOOOoo AWAWWOOooo ARAwwo *growls*
Ben
[Irritated] Okay, I think we’ve heard enough.
Olivia
Wolfington?
Ben
This is insane.
Sammy
[seriously] Wait. What color is the dog?
Olivia
Black— oh a little-bit of brown. He looks like— a lap dog perhaps? Uhh…
Sammy
A terrier!
Olivia
Oh, of course, I can see it nowww. He’s just wagging his tail, so happy, chasing his ball- Oh! Ooh, he’s mounting your Teddy Ruxpin bear[1].
Sammy
That’s him! Oh my gosh!
Ben
[incredulous] Wolfington the terrier? Come oonnn.
Sammy
That’s my dog, Ben! He ran away when I was in grade school.
Olivia
Woof! RUFF! Ruff-ruff-rUFF! Oh. He wants you to know that he’s fine Sammy, Wolfington had a good life. He isn’t mad that you only ever shared your veggies at the dinner table.
Sammy
[entreating] Heh, it’s all I could do little buddy! my mom was always watchin’!
Ben
Sammy?
Sammy
Uh, *clears throat* I mean, y-you know that’s- that’s good, that’s real good Olivia. Uh, thank you.
Ben
What is going on here?! Snap out if it, Sammy, this is obviously a con. Facebook info- or something.
Olivia
I seee— [whispered] what is it? Is it a bird?
Ben
[mocking]Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
Olivia
Is it a tiny… monkey? No— no no, dig deeper. Marsupial!
Ben
You aren’t buying this, right?
Olivia
I feeel a- a naame… Serendipity?
Ben
[shocked] What the Hell?
Sammy
Ben, you alright over there?
Ben
I’m- fine. Um. Go on, Golden Owl?
Olivia
Is it a… sugar glider!
Ben
It is! Serendipity the sugar glider! Oh man.
Sammy
You can’t be serious, Ben. Your parents bought you an exotic animal and the best name you can come up with is “Serendipity”?
Ben
[defensive] It came already named, man, and No, for the record? we found it. There was a travelling zoo that came through the Falls. And the day after, my friends and I found a box, down at the fairgrounds, and inside? there was little Serendipity, looking back up at us.
Olivia
He said he’s sorry that he couldn’t stay. He wishes he did, that mean man with the badge- well, [softly] and you know how that goes.
Sammy
Uh, how what goes? What happened?
Ben
[upset] I don’t want to talk about it.
Olivia
He forgives you Ben.
Ben
[forcefully] Golden Owl I said I’m done! Let’s Take some callers.
Sammy
Ben, I’m sorry, but this seems like—
Ben
[distressed] Why don’t you pry your fingers- into the open wound- of my heart, and dig it all out, Sammy? Sweet Jack in the Box Jesus.
Sammy
… You’re right, I-I’m sorry Ben. Well, King Falls you’ve heard Serendipity’s story, now let’s hear yours. 424-279-3858. We are live with pet medium, Olivia DuPont a—
Ben
Did he live a good life? Olivia? W-was he happy, like Sammy’s puppy?
Olivia
Do you not know?
Ben
Know what?
Sammy
I’m so confused here.
Olivia
Serendipity was a bit of an outlaw. Sugar Gliders are illegal to posses in the tri-state region because of the ’72 Sugar Flu outbreak.
Sammy
Seriously, okay guys, I just pulled up Sugar Gliders on the googs, adorable!
Ben
They were still illegal. My mom tried calling the travelling zoo but to no avail. And it wasn’t like I didn’t want to keep Serendipity, I loved the little guy but, one of my backstabbing “friends” from school said something to Bodenheimer … I-I don’t want to talk about this.
Sammy
They took him away?
Ben
Mrs. Bodenheimer did. She took him to the office, and I never saw him again. She said she was going to make sure he got back to the zoo, di-di-did he, Golden Owl?
Olivia
MMEEEEOOOOOWWW MEOOOWWW *hisses* Sorry, a calico is summoning me.
Ben
Cut the crap! What’s this about the man with the badge?
Olivia
[nervously] O- of course I’ve just heard this second-hand. Ben— I mean who’s to say exactly- what happened? It- you know, it’s from a different perspective then we can understand.
Ben
What happened?
Olivia
Serendipity- bit the man with the badge on the drive and- was tossed out the window. Into the river. Then- eventually down the falls. *chitters and hisses*
Ben
That son of a bitch, w-wha-who’s name was on that badge?
Olivia
It’s murky. Hard to grasp. Serendipity is jumping from nether tree to nether tree- Oh! Oh! I think I have it. [straining] G. U. N. Oh, I can’t see- D?
Ben
[angrily] I knnnew it.
Olivia
Take it with a grain of salt Ben- I mean, it’s just one version, from [laughingly] a marsupial no less.
Ben
He was an awesome. possum. I-I gotta step outside for a minute [chair squeak].
Sammy
While Ben takes a little break, let’s take a few callers.[door closing] Give us a call King Falls. Let’s talk about your dearly departed, uh, pets.
Olivia
I’m ready.
Sammy
Line 4, you’re live with Sammy and Miss Olivia DuPont.
Troy
Gosh darn it, Sammy, I’m really sorry to hear about Ben’s little buddy.
Sammy
I’m sure he’ll appreciate the kind words Troy, I’ll be sure to pass them on buddy .
[police radio can be heard faintly in bg]
Troy
[solemn] I’ve got a confession to make that I ain’t proud of. I… I was the reason for the demise of little Serendipity. Such a sweet little fella. I just didn’t know he get taken away, y’know? For good.
Sammy
Wait. You’re the reason Serendipity was taken away?
Troy
Ah hells bells Sammy, I was the one that rolled over on Ben but— I didn’t mean for the little furry guy to get taken away! It was just a real kerfuffle on this end.
Sammy
This explains so much.
Troy
Me and Ben was best buddies coming up, Sammy. I didn’t want to tell on him, but little Serendipity got frisky one day at lunch and sh[bleep] on one of the teacher’s Mexican pizza. Tough ol’ Bodenheimer cornered me ‘cause she thought he was mine. Ben ain’t never gonna forgive me and that’s deserved.
[door closing]
Sammy
That’s all in the past Troy. I’m sure- someday –
Ben
Sorry about that guys. Some-someday what?
Sammy
Oh, uh- y-you know- we-we’re just taking calls from listeners right now Ben. On the line we’ve got- Troy.
Troy
[mournful] Hey Ben. Man I was listening to the program tonight, when I heard Miss DuPont pontificatin’ about the dead animals and su—
Ben
[Hastily] Now’s not the time Troy, especially from you!
Troy
I’m hurtin’ something awful about Serendipity, buddy. How many times do I have to apologize to make it right?
Ben
Loose Lips Sink Ships, Troy, the ship of friendship. Have fun on the SS Backstabber. [click, dial tone] Line 1, you’re live on King Falls AM. Prepare your tissues.
Ron
Boys, I won’t keep you long. This question is for, Golden Owl? is that right?
Olivia
Yes.
Ron
Before my question ma’am, you might want to work on that name. It might just be me, but it sounds like a sophisticated lemon party for birds.Not that I’m against that sort of thing. Sh[bleep] even last night—
Sammy
Ron Begley, ladies and gents.
Ron
Alright I get it, enough foreplay. Brass tacks Miss Owl, how does it work if you didn’t particularly own the pet, but you saw it as a kid, grew up near it, fed it, maybe had a puff the magic dragon relationship with it.
Ben
He wants to know if you can tap into your unending source of pain and find Kingsie’s parents. Maybe tell us how they were, harpooned by Japanese tourists in front of Kingsie as a baby and made into sashimi.
Olivia
Mr. Begley I’m not sure if that’s really in my wheelhouse, but perhaps if you introduce me to this Kingsie you’re referencing?
Ron
Well hell yeah! How can I get a hold of you to make an appointment?
Sammy
All of Miss DuPont’s information is on our website Ron, or you can check it out on twitter at—
Ron
Yeah yeah, @, ampersand, hashtag, underscore, exclamation mark dot dot dot King Falls dot net. Shut your sweet little trap Sammy! I got it! I’ll be in touch soon Golden Owl. [mildly exasperated] But seriously, work on that name
[click, dial tone]
Ben
Other than, re-breaking everyone’s hearts, Olivia— what do you get out of this?
Olivia
I’m sorry for the troublesome story, Ben. Not all of them -hardly any of them- end so badly.
Ben
So I’m just the lucky one.
Sammy
Ben—
Ben
I’m so glad to hear that not everyone’s pet got thrown out of a moving car and into Peace river and down the falls by Sheriff damn Gunderson. That’s the silver lining, right?
Olivia
If it’s true.
Ben
[skeptical] You get a lot of lying cats and dogs in your line of work, Olivia?
Olivia
[awkwardly] Not— to my knowledge.
Ben
He did it.
Sammy
Okay, let’s not go making accusations it could have been any number of deputies, maybe even from a different county, I mean who can say?
Ben
[insistent] It was Gunderson, I just know it. He literally damn near spelled it out! Ask him to spell out the rest, Olivia.
Olivia
He saysss, *sigh* Golden Owl, your business license is up for renewal, so don’t rock the boat?
Ben
BULL!
Sammy
*clears throat* Olivia, we’re gonna take another phone call here in a minute. Perhaps, uh, before that you could give us a light-hearted example of a run in with someone’s, uh, expired creature.
Olivia
Well, there was this one encounter with Bruce the Stingray.
Sammy
[incredulously] A stingray. Now, what’s a dead stingray got to talk about?
Olivia
Well, Steve Irwin[2] for one.

6 Feel-Good Legends From 2015 That Had Horrible Completes
As far as times start, 2015 was a combination of both ass and projectiles. Between terrorist attacks, a cartoonish primary season, and just plain old-time sucking, we had only a few morsels of delight to tide us over, like that one Twitter account that rates dogs. So, it pains us to inform you that everything of those silly and life-affirming Internet legends that disconcerted from civilization’s inexorable marching into the void were just the E. coli frost on 2015 ‘s cake of turds.
# 6. Pizza Rat Is Definitely Dead Now
Back in September, we were all briefly spellbound by the inspirational tale of a rat trying to make it in the big city. This little guy was filmed dragging a slice of pizza down into a subway admission, which was probably the New Yorkiest thing ever caught on tape since the last occasion person went footage of Larry David snacking a hot dog.
The role where he dedicates up at the very end is more Knicks thing ever .
The world took a couple dates off to laugh and smile at what came to be known as Pizza Rat( which is also a rejected refer for Chuck E. Cheese ), and we all knew we would have tell him on the train with us if we ensure him. Regrettably, rats are especially hard to follow up with, so nobody certainly knows what became of the hungry and highly practical rodent.
The Aftermath:
Unfortunately, we have a pretty good project: Pizza Rat was maybe killed, and then another 10 rats took his neighbourhood. New York is so knee-deep in rats right now that New Yorkers have given their metropoli bird-dogs to labour killing them in organized rat hunts.
Westminster endorse by epoch, Splinter killer by night .
And, keep in mind — they just New Yorkers. They wear all-black ensembles and wheeze grit every time they leave their tiny closet apartments. For New Yorkers to get worked up enough about vermin to become 24,000 rat-related disorders to a specific rat-related hotline, you know the problem is bad. One maiden detected a settlement of roughly 200 rats in her neighbourhood common, announcing it “the Burning Man of rats, ” a name previously held by Burning Man.
Right now it’s ambiguous if there are actually more rats, or if the rats are coming out in more action thanks to an increase in garbage left open over 2015 ‘s winter. Mayor Bill de Blasio has added an additional$ 3 million to the city’s budget only to take care of them, which is a quite marvelous summarize. As of right now, it’s still not clear how much of that each rat will be receiving to migrate.
Considering how it’s now two Pizza Rats for every pizza, likely not much .
So as adorable as Pizza Rat was, the pizza either leaved it more fuel to peck on the skin of a sleeping homeless New Yorker, or it was hunted down by a terrier. Either lane, developments in the situation is less Ratatouille and more Plagues Of Egypt -y.
# 5. The “Clock Boy” Story Only Fueled More Racism
Back in September, most of the society was appalled by the arrest of Ahmed Mohamed, a 14 -year-old Texas student who returned a homemade clock to school to picture to one of his schoolteachers. One of the schoolteachers accepted it was a missile, based on such technological details as Ahmed’s name and skin color and called the police to have him arrested.
“His clock would have punched 9:11 twice a period. What more testify do you need? ”
The event provoked national resentment and an outburst of support for Ahmed, leading to offers for him to consider science at prestigious universities and become R& B vocalist Ne-Yo’s protege. Overall, this incident showed that maybe most of this country is on the right-hand side of this intolerance circumstance after all, right?
The Aftermath:
At least, until the majority of members of the person stopped attaches great importance. After that, happens got pretty terrible.
It turns out that it’s not just one institution — often of Irving, Texas, is astoundingly fucking racist, and Mayor Beth Van Duyne may be the worst of all of them. She’s convinced that Muslims are trying to enforce Sharia law in the United States, a sentiment said that he shared a number of other shitheads in the country. So, naturally, when the bulletin about Mohamed divulged, she decided that doubling down was a better programme than rationalizing, which led to the town being sued by Mohamed’s category to the song of $15 million, which won’t facilitate Irving’s rat problem at all.
That’s what happens when you elect rebuffed ventures from the Ann Coulter Cloning Factory .
Meanwhile, the other racists of Irving built sure the town understood how hazardous and violent Muslims are by complaining outside the neighbourhood mosque with their handguns, because that’ll establish ’em.
“See !? If they are innocent, why are they all nervous and shaky whenever we stop by? ”
Within a few epoches of all the assist generated for Ahmed, he was accused of planning the whole thought to garner sympathy by some, including renowned scientist and patron saint of conclude Richard Dawkins. Add the barrage of death threats on top of that, and it’s no amaze that the Mohamed family spoke “fuck it” and moved to Qatar instead. Apparently, they appear safer hanging out with a wanted battle criminal than dealing with America’s Islamophobes.
# 4. Those Felines Being Intimidated By Cucumbers Are Victims Of Animal Abuse
Recently, people have discovered that “cat-o-nine-tails” are dramatically startled by cucumbers, which are famed for represent one of the least startling nutrients on the planet. So parties with lots of free time have found themselves residence cucumbers behind their cats while they’re eating, then waiting for the “cat-o-nine-tail” to observe and altogether freak out.
It takes a special breed of asshole to be disillusioned when they don’t give their baby a heart attack .
It’s good family-friendly recreation, and laugh always stimulates “the worlds” a better place. It’s not like we’re leaving the cats with long-lasting mental detriment from a cucumber or any other apparently leading question, right?
The Aftermath:
Yeah, it goes without saying that “youre supposed to” shouldn’t be accentuating your pets out for your own amusement. Cats aren’t running away from cucumbers because they dislike salads; it’s because when you’re an animal who didn’t learn about veggies in institution, a cucumber looks like a fucking snake . And when a feline assures a snake, it does what any of us would do — a triple Axel quadruple kickflip to indy, followed by running away as fast as possible.
No “cat-o-nine-tail” wants to go from eating Fancy Feast to becoming one .
What realise it worse, nonetheless, is when people do the cucumber stunt while the “cat-o-nine-tail” is ingesting. A feline generally accompanies their meat dish locality as the ultimate safe and relaxing infinite, so when you suggest that it’s actually a snake den, they start feeling less safe in their own home. Nobody’s ever happy when a phony gunman shows up to scare the piss out of everyone at a fast food eatery, so don’t do the same occasion to your “cat-o-nine-tails”, you maniacs.
As far as times go, 2015 was a combination of both ass and balls. Between terrorist attacks, a cartoonish primary season, and just plain old-fashioned sucking, we had only a few morsels of joy to tide us over, like that one Twitter account that rates hounds. So, it stings us to inform you that all of those silly and life-affirming Internet stories that distracted from civilization’s inexorable advance into the void were just the E. coli frosting on 2015 ‘s cake of turds.

Westminster champion by daytime, Splinter killer by night .
And, keep in mind — these are New Yorkers. They wear all-black ensembles and exhale grit each time they leave their tiny closet apartments. For New Yorkers to get worked up enough about vermin to represent 24,000 rat-related grumbles to a specific rat-related hotline, you know the problem is bad. One lady detected a colony of roughly 200 rats in her local common, announcing it “the Burning Man of rats, ” a title previously held by Burning Man.

Back in September, most of the nation was appalled by the arrest of Ahmed Mohamed, a 14 -year-old Texas student who returned a homemade clock to academy to depict to one of his teachers. One of the coaches expected it was a rocket, based on such technological details as Ahmed’s name and skin color and called the police to have him arrested.
“His clock would have reached 9:11 twice a day. What more indication do you need? ”
The event triggered national outrage and an spate of support for Ahmed, leading to offers for him to investigate science at prestigious universities and become R& B singer Ne-Yo’s protege. Overall, this incident showed that maybe most of this country is on the right side of this intolerance situation after all, right?
The Aftermath:
At least, until most of the commonwealth stopped attaches great importance. After that, circumstances got pretty terrible.
It turns out that it’s not only one institution — much of Irving, Texas, is astoundingly fucking racist, and Mayor Beth Van Duyne may be the most difficult of all of them. She’s remain convinced that Muslims are trying to enforce Sharia law in the United States, a feeling shared by a number of other shitheads in the two countries. So, naturally, when the word about Mohamed cracked, she decided that doubling down was a better programme than apologizing, which led to the town being sued by Mohamed’s category to the carol of $15 million, which won’t assistant Irving’s rat question at all.
That’s what happens when you elect repudiated experiments from the Ann Coulter Cloning Factory .
Meanwhile, the other racists of Irving manufactured sure the cities understood how hazardous and murderou Muslims are by protesting outside the local mosque with their grease-guns, because that’ll demo ’em.
“See !? If they are innocent, why are they all nervous and shaky whenever we stop by? ”
Within a few days of all the supporter generated for Ahmed, he was accused of planning the whole circumstance to garner sympathy by some, including renowned scientist and patron saint of intellect Richard Dawkins. Add the barrage of death threats on top of that, and it’s no astound that the Mohamed family announced “fuck it” and moved to Qatar instead.

Recently, parties have discovered that felines are dramatically startled by cucumbers, which are famous for represent one of the least panicking foods on the planet. So parties with lots of free time have found themselves targeting cucumbers behind their cats while they’re eating, then waiting for the cat to discover and altogether freak out.
It takes a special reproduction of asshole to be disappointed when they don’t give their pet a heart attack .
It’s good family-friendly recreation, and laugh ever shapes the world a better place. It’s not like we’re leaving the “cat-o-nine-tails” with persistent mental shattering from a cucumber or any other plainly leading question, right?
The Aftermath:
Yeah, it goes without saying that “youre supposed to” shouldn’t be emphasizing your domesticateds out for your own amusement. Cats aren’t running away from cucumbers because they detest salads; it’s because when you’re live animals who didn’t informed about veggies in institution, a cucumber looks like a fucking serpent .
