Transcript:
Lucy: So what's the verdict? Are you still grounded? Danae: Well... Yes and no. All I have to do is clean up the piles of trash, laundry and dirty dishes in my room, then I'm free! Lucy: Whoa... Hold on there. You told me those are load-bearing pillars. Danae: Yeah, well... ToMAYto, ToMAHto. Now hold the trash bag while I shovel.

Why does Danae hold big shovel? I think she uses it to scrape the manures off and dump in the trash bag.

I think all that junk is Danae’s. Lucy has to much class to make a mess in the house.

That floor looks like mine when I was a kid. Only I didn’t call it trash, I called it toys.

Danae was looking for adventure - she just may find it in one of those piles of junk…
Sad Kitty over 14 years ago
is this sudden urge of Joe’s for Danae to join the civilized world part of the influence of Victoria? Might this be the begining of the end for Danae’s “adventures”?
Trebor39 over 14 years ago
Danae wants an adventure. Cleaning her room provides it.

Maybe Danae can get one of Lio’s robots to help out…

If only a convenient black hole would open up in her room to suck up everything that is smaller than her bed.

Al Edison is rumored to have said “All you need to invent is lots of imagination, and a Big Pile of Junk!”
I’ve got the junk, now when can I get the imagination?

“Tomato” derives from an Aztec word “tomatl,” which does have an “ah” sound. The correct pronunciation is, indeed, “tuh-mah-toh.”
dongregg over 14 years ago
Hey, smizzlybob. Right about tuh-mah-toh – had English not experienced the Great Vowel Shift beginning in the 1400s. A-words got to remain “ah” on the Continent but became “ay” in England. I’ve never made peace with it, but it is what it is.
