Bad Machinery by John Allison for October 11, 2022

Sarah went and stole the dad joke. Colin is left with nothing to say.

Have had peppers on the grill at barbecues, can confirm.

Come on, Colin, carrying on a conversation with Lottie isn’t difficult. All you need is ears; she’ll handle the rest.

Also maybe don’t try to replace her father.

Open with, “Hey, hear about the grisly murder?” Never fails.

Let’s hope Julian don’t put Pepper on the barbecue thinking he’s just another hot dog.

Appears the bag of Briquettes hasn’t even been opened. Going to be some cold burgers. Unless! they finished off a partial bag first. Real life comics here folks.

Poor guy, he really is trying, but like most people, he’s finding maintaining a conversation with Lottie is…adventurous. But don’t worry, it just takes practice, a bit of patience, and the occasional “smiling and nodding” whenever Lottie goes especially…off-topic.

Poor Colin. No one else is drinking his milk stout, and his girlfriend is hitting on a younger man.

I think Pepper is more of a meat loaf. Do they have those in Britain?

Hockey City?
