Small Change Got Rained On By His Own .38

Wellwellwellwell…it seems as tho Clan Cross will indeed be having an Xmas gathering of sorts. Got an Xmas card from Rosie (my sister) that included a note saying “Turkey dinner at 4:00 pm on Xmas Day. Be there”. And so we shall because: (A) Grace and I are up for a dinner that we don’t have to fix (B) When Rosie says “Be there”, well, you’d better fuckin’ be there.

Once again my 24 hour a day idea factory has spewed forth something I must share with you. Actually, TWO things. Could be ideas for TOON (or OTE) games…could be ideas for literary parodies. Hell, I dunno…I just have the ideas…

1: “Lemony Basset’s A Series of Unfortunate Dogs”, which chronicles the terribly troubled lives of the Bowowdelaire Pups (Violent, Krass and Stinky) starting with “The Awful Afghan” and continued in…”The Beastly Beagle”…”The Cursed Cocker”…”The Deadly Dalmation…you get the idea.

2: “The League of Extrordinary Animals”…I’m thinking Lassie…Rin Tin Tin…Trigger…Cheetah the Chimp…Babe the Pig…etc, etc, etc

Can we tell that Uncle Doc was in a canine/wildlife kinda mindset?
