The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for April 12, 2023

Got any brains they’ll be moving before sun-up

“He who criticizes others behind their backs also criticizes you behind your back.”

Let’s see here…Joy’s tee changed, Jerry’s tee changed… Marlene’s tee changed… a bone went flying by the window….the vase of flowers blew up…. something happened by the VCR… miss anything….?

Social graces, or lack thereof.

Are we seeing this through some glasses. Looks like everyone lost about 100 lbs.

Too late. They’re already in their car and headed out of town as fast a they can go. Leaving their house and all their possessions. They’re contaminated. Leaving their children. It’s too late for them. They’ll make new ones. For years, they’ll shudder that they might have stayed and become assimilated. The horror. The horror.

They didn’t stay long. There isn’t anywhere to sit.

…somebody should have thrown in “Turn on, tune in, drop out” just fer funsies……….

What is wrong with saying goodbye

The least they could do is wait for them to shut the door!

No, no, this is Crustwood. The “social graces” are for “catching on to”, but simply “catching.” Y’know, like the flu. Stomach flu. Really BAD stomach flu.

it’s easy to understand why they wanted to leave early…
