Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 02, 2017

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”

That’s a chunk of whale meat if I ever saw one.

Good riddance to Mr. R.

It looks like a two-headed babel fish and a dancing gnome having sex in a bowl of petunias.

Is the gnome also an Adams reference? The only “nomes” I can think of belong to the equally late, equally great, equally British Terry Pratchett.

This reminds me of the joke where the psychiatrist is reviewing the results of the “ink blot test” with his patient. “Mr. Jones, your answers were a naked lady, a naked man, a man and woman making love, a naked man and woman running through the forest. I’m afraid you are obsessed with sex.”

Mr Jones: “I’m obsessed with sex? You’re the one showing the dirty pictures.”

Is that spot on Broadway?

I was thinking it looked like one of those used car inflatable tube men. Could have been because I’d just read today’s “Reality Check.”

Looks like a small squashed shoggoth. A shoggie.
