Mad Quickies: Forgotten Surrealists, Tattooed Women Prevail, Space Whisky, Meditative Coloring and More!
Good day, all! When Dr. Ray shared this bit of information with us with us: Leather gets a new perfume, new guy Jim proceeded to pen this gem:
“Hello researchers? This is BondageCo, where we’re fit to be tied!”
“…Yes? Is this about that thing we ordered?”
“No! You signed up for “The neighbours will never suspect” shipping, so it will arrive in 5-8 days in a plain, brown package. This is about the scented leather. Mmm…Just say that. Scented leather.”
“O-okay. Is there a scent you’re looking for?”
“Glad you asked! We put up a poll on our Facebook, and we have a list. There’s the usual romantic ones, roses and lavender, blood or copper for the vampire fiction crowd…”
“Mhmm, let me get a pen.”
“Strawberries, blueberries, apple pie, pecan pie, gluten-free pecan pie, watermelon, celery, turnips…”
“Turnips?”
“If you have to ask, you don’t want to know. Those were just our runners up, though.”
“Oh. Umm, what was the top choice?”
“Pine-scented air freshener.”
That said… Onward!
