Originally posted by KewpieThere may be much more to it than you or I realize, Kew. For example, one of Gertie's bosom buddies at the Nunnery told a friend of hers named Agnes, who told me, that Mikey's girlfriend (who lives in a big house on the other side of town) thinks she's having a baby. Typical of a responsible biological father, Mikey rushes out to Wal-Mart to buy childhood stuff and got all upset at the register that binkys wern't on sale, even whole boxfulls. He protested. Baby Stuff Department Supervisor trots over. With her best fake smile on she looks the poor little guy right in the eye and says, "Sir, those are NOT credit cards. They're baseball cards and, by the way, your breath stinks of cheap bubbly gum. Mikey drove home on his lavendad bicycle (with the very rusted training wheels) empty handed. Guess he was up all night trying to explain the situation to his barely pregnant elementary school classmate mate. Nobody in the neighborhood has a clue as to what really happened.
I quite liked sock-puppets, who often come up with interesting conflict situations, but rooms full of imaginary people? Nah.
