There’s a kid’s book called That Pesky Toaster. The toaster ran around on four legs, and got chased by an old lady with a broom. When she caught it, and put in a slice of bread, it didn’t give her toast, it gave her a black hole. The pictures are pretty weird, and the entire story reads like a fever dream. I still can’t understand how it ever got published, but I love this odd little book!
Pretzels from the mouth, jelly from the sandwich, juice from the box(s), banana from the peel ~ & even Rose’s hair is being straightened! “These are a few of my favorite things!”
Rose, you needn’t have worried… there will be enough electromagnetic radiation (radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, etc) given off in the neighborhood of the the black hole that the cafeteria will be fired before it gets sucked into the black hole. I suspect that friction of mass approaching the black hole will cause a plasma, so bring plenty of marshmallows to toast.

It’s just black coffee …which would be bizzare for a kid to drink.

Look how Spud is losing his mini pretzels. And Seagull’s little feet again. ♥

Best to play it safe. Could be Surströmming.

Unusually beautiful, even from the beautiful mind of Mr. Henry.
Stuff always makes me think of other stuff. In this case, levitating artist and cats and other stuff in “Dali Atomicus.”

Nah. A drop of Black Hole would be too heavy to carry.

I thought Rose was smarter than that.

Based on Wallace’s last remark, the claims have to be based on yet another true story told by Dad when he delivered the thermos.
Killraven Premium Member about 1 year ago
We’ve witnessed Wallace’s Dad’s meal prepping “abilities”. Rose is right to be wary.

I think Mr. Henry just wanted to draw a black hole…and it’s terrific!!

Maybe it’s Black Whole-Milk? Made with super bitter dark chocolate

It might not be true, it is probably not true, but if it is true the consequences would be so overwhelming it is best not to risk it.

Is that Black Hole portable like the Acme Portable Hole? It does not have to be potable, just portable.

It is more likely to contain sasquatch milk.
