Quoting:
Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on
Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the
restaurant, but Alice doesn’t live in the restaurant, she lives in the
church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and
Fasha the dog. And livin’ in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin’ all that room,
seein’ as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn’t
have to take out their garbage for a long time.

Oy. I’m going to be absolutely terrible at this. It’s going to be all DQs all the time. :slight_smile:

I am neither Nero Wolfe nor Neptune, and 1 DQ to you.

And three to you, because I’ve got absolutely nothing.

That is 8 or 9 DQs, and I should stick to the guessing side of this. :smack:
