See? I told you Eleanor was just funning with them.
Well, at least we know what they’re all thinkiing. And it’s so nice of Eleanor to plan for everything. Oh, she’s planned, all right. That I guarantee. It’s up to everyone else to either play along, or try to stop it. If they can even see it coming.
Anyway, The Word For the Week is “jobberknot, -nut (Or hyphenated.) A tall, clumsy fellow.
Similar to jobberknowl, -nol(l), -nole. A fool’s head;a fool; coll. late C. 16-20 ob. ? ex. job(b)ard, a simpleton. Courtesy of Eric Partridge’s “A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (8th Edition).” A book well worth having, I can tell you.
Obviously Eleanor is referring to Larry, since she would never insult dear Stephanie.
Next week: Another member of the team shows up, coffee is poured, hugs are hugged, and there may be dancing. Stay tuned!
And Hi BabyKay!
Hehe, yeah. I totally knew she wasn’t REALLLY gonna feed Edison to a vampire. It’s like I said on the last page. “Nothing to worry about.” Yup, I knew.
You are, as always, 100% right, my friend. Yep. Uh-huh. It’s always a good idea to believe whatever Eleanor says.
Of course she’s not going to feed Edison to a vampire! She’s going to feed Edison’s BRAINS to a vampire.
Wait, isn’t that zombies?
Fun fact: the whole “Zombies Eat Brains” thing started with the 1985 zombie classic “Return of the Living Dead.”
It’s a must-see.
“Beware the Jabberknot, my son!”
“The jaws that flap, the claws that trip!”
Is Eleanor relying on vampiritic immunity to mortal ills, or is that just her little ruse to dissuade the overly curious?
An inquiring mind wants to know. ^^
You mean the “Experimental Laboratories” or “Warning! (and what might be the word “Contagious”)” labels on the fridge? Possibly.
Or maybe it was just the easiest place to get a cooler full of hemoglobin.
Or it appealed to her sense of humour.
Remember how long I’ve been reading your partially lettered signs. I don’t think that there’s much doubt about the final (that we can see) word on the cooler. ^^
