If Pinky Were a Jew, He Wouldn't Push His Luck with an Angry Old Testament God Like This (Come to Think of It, Jesus is Probably Weeping, Too)

Sorry, Gotta Run...
...I see smoke coming from behind the tool shed and Miss Love has been uncharacteristically quiet for the last half hour.
Repressed Childhood Memory
The previous post reminded Pinky of a traumatic event from his childhood:
One summer my parents enrolled me in a science camp. The first day they brought in a box of live chickens. We were going to cook them and reconstruct their skeletons. We were told to bring bread and mayonaisse for the next day. Thankfully the chickens we already dead when we got to class, but we had to boil them and carefully pick the meat off (and set it aside for lunch). My chicken partner and I made a little cape for our chicken skeleton. We agreed to trade off keeping it. It went home with him for the first visit. I never saw Super Chicken again.

Pinky's Miraculous Birth

Eighth Wonder of the World: Or a New Twist on Jack and the Beanstalk
Last night, Pinky had a fitful sleep. He woke up around 3 AM and coughed and coughed. Just when he thought he was going to cough up a lung, a black slimy lump came up his throat. He lifted it out with his dainty band-aided fingertips and examined it. It looked like a tiny dark avocado and was glistening with a coating coal black ectoplasm. Pinky threw it out of the window in disgust. Around 10AM when Pinky got up to make Miss Love's morning coffee, he noticed the bedroom was dark, even for a rainy day. He glanced out the window and saw an ominous black shape. In the exact spot where he had flung his slippery black wad, a bizarre black bush had grown as high as the rooftop. The bush was both hairy and scaly and like nothing Pinky had ever seen before. By the time the coffee finished brewing, it had grown at least another 6 feet. Pinky has a lot to do today, but he vows to climb the bush tonight when he gets home.
Pestilence \PES-tuh-lunss\ noun 1 : a contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating; especially : bubonic plague *2 : something that is destructive or pernicious
Example sentence: The rampant Pinky Diabloism of the modern age is as horrible a pestilence as the ancient plague.
Did you know? In the 14th century, the bubonic and pneumonic plagues ravaged Europe, casting the population into terror and leaving a death toll in the millions. It is easy to see why people of that grim period began using "pestilence," a derivative of "pestis," the Latin word for "plague," to refer to the horrifying diseases wracking the land. Plague and death became common literary themes of the era, and Geoffrey Chaucer used "pestilence" to vivid effect in "The Pardoner's Tale": "Ther cam a privee theef men clepeth Deeth, / That in this contree al the peple sleeth, / And with his spere he smoot his herte atwo, / And wente his wey withouten wordes mo. / He hath a thousand slayn this pestilence."

Little Known Family History of the Diablo Family

Pinky Tries His Hand at Watercolor
Medusa and Perseus: the Untold Story
Of course, you know that Perseus slew Medusa, but did you know there was a poodle in the mix? Medusa had a giant pink poodle as her side-kick. Anyone that looked Medusa's poodle in the eye broke out in hives, shingles, and acne for the rest of his life. Since Perseus was on steroids (see image), he already had bad acne. The poodle lapped up a bit of Medusa's blood and became Perseus' lifelong companion.

Diablo Family History
Miss Love Says, "Pinky is Too Stressed!"
Pinky responded by thinking of how he could streamline important activities to make more time for himself. He realized he spent many hours a day looking at things, so he invented a looking machine to do the work for him. (He calls it his looky-stick.) Pinky is now as relaxed as a eunuch in a hen house.
