Poor, Poor Nadine

Nadine has lost yet another job. This time she was fired from the local fireworks stand for shooting off roman candles into the line of customers and shouting, "Here comes the apocalypse.

Look on the Left

Here is a shot inside of Granny D's cabinet. Pinky made the feathered object on the left over 35 years ago. He gathered cedar wax wing feathers and stuck them into wet clay then pressed some of Granny D's jewelry around the edges to create a lovely pattern. Since this objet d'art couldn't be fired, Pinky coated it in several layers of clear fingernail polish. If Granny D kept this all these years, imagine what else she has saved.

Happy Birthday, Nadine

Even though Pinky and Nadine are not on speaking terms this week (a story much to long to explain in Pinky's concise and to-the-point blog), he gave her a birthday present. The problem was that the diet pills were such a pretty color, and Pinky was worried that he had bad breath ( he was on his way to work for J. Brightenbetter for the afternoon). Needless to say, they did not help his breath--in fact he gagged as he chewed the first four. By the time he got to Nadine's apartment, there were only eight left. He left a note saying that she could put mouse turds in the empty cells and sell them as holy relics in her mini-mall booth she has to rent in order to make some spending money. (Pinky doesn't judge, he just describes.)

In 1959, Zillah Laney purchased a Pentax camera with a time delay and started taking a photo every 30 minutes. By 1972 she had amassed 54,973 photographs of herself standing against her bedroom wall.

Nadine Entertains in Her New Home

Here is Nadine dressed like a geisha with her giant peanut and large head shaped urn (she killed the fern). She waited until Pinky was gone, then invited Miss Love over for creamed peas and margaritas. When Miss Love was as full as a tick and drunk as a skunk, she spilled the beans about Pinky.
