Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for November 04, 2024

I know. I just wanted to mesa round.

“I still think he’s a pr**k!”

Always be prepared for muggers.

Mitch can be so prickly at times.

Why does he keep waving at us? Do we know him?

Cacti? An oblique reference to “I, Claudius”? “I, Cactus” would need some fleshing out. Sounds boring as it stands. Maybe less desert? Hey, it’s 3:30 a.m. so I’m not responsible.

No, he’s giving you the branch

No, but he wants to stick it to me.

You could be a thorn in his side!

You sure about that? I know I’m giving him the finger.

Maybe you’re right – go smack him

I was actually thinking of Cacti for my little dirt corner, a perfect plant here in Arizona although I will probably over water it.

He’s just needling you.

Between “cacti” and “Mitch” he decided to Atacama.

He’s giving you the branch.

What do you expect? Everyone around here is a bunch of pr1cks.

either that, or all of you are giving each other the bird!

sigh…

Well, Mitch does seem a little prickly.
