THIS IS A NICE PLACE.
It is. Of niceness. Yes.
YOU KNOW. . . WHY DO YOU GET SO NERVOUS WHEN YOU TALK TO ME?
BECAUSE YOU KEEP STARING INTO MY EYES LIKE YOU CAN SEE STRAIGHT INTO ME AND THAT WORRIES ME BECAUSE IT'S NOT A NICE PLACE IN THERE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
PLEASE TAKE YOUR NAPKIN OFF MY HEAD.

THANKS FOR MEETING ME HERE, CHRISTMAS TREE GIRL.

HEY, GOAT. YOU WRITING YOUR BLOG?
GO AWAY, RAT.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE BLOGS... I REALLY DO. YOU KNOW WHY?
GO AWAY, RAT.
BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THEIR FRUSTRATED CREATOR WITH THE DELUSIONAL OUTLET OF BEING A PUBLISHED AUTHOR. SORT OF LIKE HOW THE PRISON WARDEN LETS THE PSYCHOTIC INMATE SCRIBBLE "POETRY" ON THE CELL WALL SO HE DOESN'T BEAT HIS BUNKMATE WITH A TOILET SEAT.
PERHAPS YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE ANALOGY.

WHERE YOU GOING, MY LITTLE BRAIN?
CLUB BRAIN. IT'S A BIG RESORT. REAL POPULAR WITH BRAINS.
ARE THERE MORE OF YOU ESCAPED BRAINS RUNNING AROUND?
YES. WE TEND TO ESCAPE DURING PROLONGED PERIODS OF TELEVISION VIEWING... MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN NOTICE WE'RE GONE.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE FLED LIKE THAT?
IF YOU MUST KNOW, THIRTY-FOUR PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE ARE WALKING AROUND WITHOUT A BRAIN.

Danny Donkey loved Thanksgiving.
Danny Donkey loved his family.
But Danny Donkey did not love to see his family at Thanksgiving.
So every Thanksgiving, Danny grabbed half the turkey and locked himself in the bathroom.
Until it was time for the awkward toast...
To my family, to whom I want to be close, but in reality cannot tolerate.
I need to use the bathroom, Danny Donkey.
Go away, Uncle Bob.
When Thanksgiving was over, many believed his self-imposed physical separation from his family had a consequence.
He loved them more.
Uncle Bob could also be a problem.
YOU CALL THIS A CHILDREN'S THANKSGIVING TABLE?
CHAPTER TWO: THE DAY UNCLE BOB'S BLADDER WENT BOMB.
POOR UNCLE BOB.
