kiss today goodbye- I am already jaded
- glut of slug eggs
- Life’s too short for uncomfortable underwear.
- you get the so-called “munchies.”

“Maybe we should explain it to him,” Myndilynn said. “There is a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time, and we can kiss today goodbye. If he understands, maybe he’ll get on board with the plan.”
John shook his head. “I have known this asshole so long that I am already jaded about the possibility of ever getting him to cooperate. We just need to do things the old-fashioned way. Good thing you have that glut of slug eggs. That really is good timing.”
“Hang on,” I said, but Tatiana’s laughter cut me off.
“I like the old-fashioned way!” she crowed. “The persuasion is so elemental. Universal. Visceral. Life’s too short for uncomfortable underwear. And that, oohhh ho ho, that is really uncomfortable.”
“Let’s go back,” I said. “Myndilynn’s suggestion seemed like a good idea.”
Now it was Mingus’s turn to laugh, his wooden head lolling back and jaw swinging loosely. He composed himself, all the cords that controlled his facial movements coming taut again as he fixed me uncannily with his glass eyes. “Those eggs might also come in handy if you get the so-called ‘munchies.’” His puppet gaze wandered knowingly to John, Myndilynn, and Tatiana, and soon they were all chortling and trying to avoid eye contact with me.
