Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 11, 2012
Transcript:
Mom: Alice! Where have you been? Alice: In Dill's backyard. Mom: I don't want you to go in Dill's backyard anymore, do you understand? Alice: Why? My mom says your backyard is a combination junkyard, missile proving ground and Superfund site. Dill: Tell her it's also the world's largest private pet cemetery!

Of course it counts for something — that’s one of the reasons it’s a Superfund site!

THus far, I don’t think I’ve met any of Dill’s pets. Only animal, I think, is Mr. Danders. Maybe we need a few more animals?

@x_TechYou all seem like amiable people. Could x_Tech or someone please tell me how you make the person’s screen name (or whatever you call it) turn all blue when you want to address him/her? I asked me in-the-know relative how, and she said it just does it. When I pressed more, she said, “I DON”T KNOW!!" (as per).

Note to self: Never go into Cul de Sac in case of apocalypse, as Dill’s backyard will blow up and/or intoxicate his neighborhood and anything within a mile radius.

I don’t know, but in my childhood, Mom’s “I don’t want you to…” would only fuel an obsession for doing exactly that..

Given the reputations of Dill’s brothers, the pets probably belonged to the. And, that’s probably why DILL doesn’t have any.
