Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 02, 2021

whatever you say, Petey

Yes, Petey! It’s up to you to figure out the code word to awaken the Alien Robot. Don’t be corny & say something like “Shazzam”!

Whoever gets even some of my stuff is going to be a happy camper.

I used to work at the dump, I know what happens to family heirlooms.

What happened to the car?!

Peteys’ right, ya know. They could all come alive one night, like the eyesores in that Simpsons’ Halloween ep…

What; you don’t have an attic in that house?

Some heirlooms end up in the dump, others end up in the produce aisle for $too much a pound.

I was given a number of family heirlooms that sit on my display shelf now but will go straight to goodwill the minute the giver is gone

Alice was smart to duck out when she did and take refuge in Big Brother Petey’s safe bedroom.

Chances are that the Otterloops’ hall closet shelf, if it’s anything like mine, is not nealy big enough for all the “family heirloom” eyesores….

I inherited some beautiful old china that I’m afraid to use. If I were a great cook, though, I’d give dinner parties and show it off. Somebody include me on your guest list and I’ll let you use my dishes!

Craigslist … not even worth eBaying
