One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for January 25, 2023

There are more humane ways of killing a lobster than boiling it (“graudally” or otherwise).

Wait till he gets spell-check!

Do they teach kids to spell anymore?

At least he did try to spell those big words. Give him some credit dad.

Lobsters have green blood. I wonder if they’re originally Vulcan.

Giving the dictionary the old raspberry, huh, Joe?

grew up in RI, and they used to stock up on lobsters during the summer, and store them in their outhouses during the winter, which cleaned out the outhouse depository, and gave them fresh lobsters all winter to eat

He wrote a report and a -thesoris- -thusserus- book of -sinonums- -sinnenims- other words.

Hmmmm ,Ilove fish but I may never eat lobster

The main takeaway from this is that (apparently) Joe and Ruthie’s last name is Lombard. TIL.

OK, when Dad’s relatives visit, Ruthie talks about “the Italians are coming”, and we just met Nick’s sister; having been married to one (with a bar-owner aunt) for nigh well on to 4 decades, I can assure you that the Italians are Nick’s side.

So shouldn’t the name on the report be Joe D. Lombardi?

Creative…
