TRIFFID FAKERY
If you see something as gaudy as this, resist the urge to lean down for a closer look. Should you do so, I fear for your face. For you see, lurking under that happy facade of floral fakery is Brutal Slime, the face-eating triffid, a plant shunned with very good reason by all other triffidia.
BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – CHARLOTTE BRONTE
Loon: So, the Lords of the 4th Dimension have seen fit to deliver another olden days ghost I’ve never even heard of. I’ll do my best to ask 3 good questions. I see by your outfit, Charlotte Bronte, that you aren’t a cowboy. Just a little joke. Seriously though, am I right in assuming that you never wrestled professionally?
Charlotte Bronte’s ghost: Only with my conscience, sir.
Loon: Let me write that down. Only…with…your…conscience. Now, another question. If you could be any kind of tree, what tree would you be?
Charlotte Bronte’s ghost: A stalwart oak.
Loon: A…stalwart…oak. Very good. Now we’re getting somewhere. Finally, if you had to choose between running barefoot across an icy glade or dancing barefoot down a substantial length of hot coals, which would you choose?
