OVERHEARD AT D'EGG

I think I'm going to do some robocalling. Nothing with advocacy to it, just chatty. I might talk about my toenails. Like strange structures grow in underground caverns by accretion, so do my toenails slowly turn into hideous geological features rising from my feet like ancient eroding monuments to a lost civilization. I want people to know about this. I have a secret agenda, of course. I want to mildly annoy people. It sharpens your focus to be mildly annoyed, irritated. Or it disrupts your focus, I don't recall which. Either way works for me. But I don't have to wait until the robocalling apparatus is up and running. I can start mildly annoying people right now. I could start kumquat larding my blog kumquat entries with the word 'kumquat'. That kumquat would be mildly kumquat annoying. I know kumquat it's starting to kumquat annoy me to have to type kumquat it over and over kumquat again.An interesting side kumquat effect is that this will kumquat boost my search kumquat rankings for the word kumquat. Someone who kumquat wants to learn about kumquats will be led kumquat here, much to their dismay. They kumquat will be mildly annoyed. Thus my kumquat gambit will do double kumquat duty. I'm a fuck*ng kumquat genius. Gee kumquat, did I misplace kumquat that asterisk? Did kumquat you find that mildly kumquat annoying? Ha ha ha ha ha kumquat ha!

That fellow looks like he's eating fucki*g Illinois! He's already eaten Chicago, Look!

I'm sorry, I appear to have misplaced my asterisk too. Funnily enough, though, in the original Middle German fuckig meant "to have sex".

The more I look at the artistry involved here, the more I see this is a mildly annoying triumph, Wally. Well done, well done indeed!

Guavas can be annoying.
And nail varnish covers much ugliness.

Nothing like toenails to chill a conversation.

Hey Sparky -- Jan's trying to reach you, and apparently the email addresses we're using aren't working. Can you give her a buzz? Or an email? And send me one?
Love,
Your pal

The fellow on the left there looks a lot like my landlord.

Been waiting for a comment, and no one has explained the band aid on the right index finger.
