You mean, like he accidentally spills a jar of honey all over himself at a picnic, and a nearby anthill swarms him, and his pet armadillo, in a deparate attempt to save him (while also scarfing up lunch _and_ dessert) accidentally gets its tongue wrapped around its owner’s throat and strangles him? Something like that? ---

Dear Death, the Destroyer of Worlds, I like cats, but I’m allergic to them, just like you. My SO’s cat just won’t stay off of the couch. It’s very annoying. Do you have any suggestions as to how to remedy this problem? Also, I heard on NPR that gray is the new black. Will you be changing cloaks, or is this just a flash in the pan? ---

Dearest DtDoW, Please be advised that **EddyTeddyFreddy** is circulating butt jokes about you. I think it is rude and entirely uncalled for as I hope I’ve made abundantly clear. Also please know that I do not for a second believe that “the tides change when you moon someone.” I suspect he may try to portray me (ME! Can you believe it?) as the originator of the foul rumors afoot about your anatomy “problem” and I do not intend to stand still for it. So, I’m moving. I no longer live anywhere near “Inland Northwest US” But I hear Exurbia is beautiful this time of year.
