It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

Merry Christmas,(or happy whatever) to Aaron and all Endtowners. Hope your holidays are joyful, sane and peaceful.

Holly’s a tough taskmaster. She’ll do a good job on Linda or else. I’d hate to be Linda if she doesn’t shape up.

@Veteran and all other post military friends…
I have a friend who’s in from out of town. This friend likes to sample unknown cuisine. While at the grocery store Cream Chipped Beef was discovered. I know nothing about it other than it was known as “Sh!# on a shingle” by military people. If you have any words of wisdom regarding this “delicacy”, I’d appreciate them.
Thanks!

Wonder if they serve Creamed Chipped Beef on the graveyard shift…probably Creamed Chipped Beans ;-)

“Can’t take a joke.” snort. Mean/nasty is not a joke. Causing food in such an environment to be wasted is not a joke.

Captain Flash isn’t there now, so it might be a fair trial…

That “Pweeze” panel of Holly giving the puppy eyes would make a good t-shirt

Surfstuff,
Basically it would be a poor mans version of biscuits and gravy except over toast. I don’t know how thick it would be from the jar and heated up. I would keep the salt, pepper and tabasco sauce handy. And something else to serve with it, just in case.
Good luck. :-)

OH… Aaron, take a look at pibgorn today.; I wonder if he got any dough for that one??? Love you.
Blessed Be

Thanks mr_sherman, biscuits were requested, and I think they will do better than toast. I’ll call it “Yankee Biscuits and Gravy” I learned about that wonderful dish when I lived in Alabama. Wish I’d learned to make the sausage/milk gravy properly.

i remembering eating this back when i was a kid. my mom served it on toast (the “shingle”) and, actually, it wasn’t too bad. it was filling, nourishing and cheap.

What do they do to Ex-Toppers?
Linda will likely find out
Her fights were nearly show-stoppers
And shortly her secret will out
Holly’s not into pedantics
Philosophy’s not where she’s at
Pragmatic’s best for Linda’s antics
And acting to head off a spat

An Endtown Holiday Wish
We’ve seen holiday bits on display
Showing up at the Endtown Café
May good wishes and vibes
Visit each of your tribes
And I’ll use this occasion to say:
Merry Christmas to all who observe
Even any or no faith will serve
For enjoying Yuletide
Is just what you decide
May you get everything you deserve
And of other faiths and celebrations
May they please those in rapt contemplations
Of the times of the past
May your bright future last
And be ready with fast demonstrations
There were challenges during the year
But so far, we have made it to here
May I say in this letter
Let next year be better!
May it bring peace and joy without fear
And for fellow-folk-fans of Endtown
May good fortune for each here abound
May I say without censure
That on this adventure
The next year will likely astound!
