Leaves, westgrand!!

[westgrandboulevard]

My girlfriend Martita constantly mutters dark warnings about tea leaves.

She swears they are completely unhygienic....

[moe]

Til they're thrown in boiling water.

[arr&bee]

HEY WEST,GRADY HAS A NEW ICED TEA COMING SOON WITH TEA FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POND IN BACK OF THE WASTE PLANT DOWN IN THE BOWELS OF DA HOOD,NOW GRADY TOLD ME THAT HIS TEAM OF SIMPLETONS-OPPS ERR-AHEM-HEHE,SCIENTIST ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BRINGING THESE RARE BLEMISHED-OPPS-ERR-AHEM-HEHE,RARE BLENDS TO HIS CUSTOMERS,AND HE WANTS YOU AND MOE TO BE AMOUNG THE FIRST TO SAMPLE THIS RUPTURED-OPPS-ERR-AHEM-HEHE,RARE AND RESERVED NEVER BEFORE BRAND OF TEA...[it can only be served cold-don't ask]SO YOU AND MOE AS ALWAYS HAVE A STANDING INVITE FOR TEA WITH GRADY...[run]!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Moe, Martita's problem with tea leaves comes after the tea has been drunk. All self-inflicted. She blocks her pipes with them, and has experienced problems with water backing up, the like of which I'd rather not think about.

As for Grady, it sounds just as insanitary...and that's before the tea has even been drunk.

There must be dysentery in every single drop....

[arr&bee]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa...it helps to be drunk before eating at grady's.

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes indeed, it helps to have drunk Listerine, before eating at Grady's....

[arr&bee]

Hey west,i talked the[weener brothers]into drawing up a new contract for your esteemed client and our favorite[superstar],and it reads...to whom it may consume,this agreement between and betwixed and bewildered herein it is stated that for the forseen and formentioned time such as it stands we the before mentioned weener brothers agree to produce and profit from all said films and commercials made forthwith and forthinline whichever comes first starring the superstar who knows who she is so we won't mention her by name but as stated we will finance for a small percentage as in 99/100 percentile or floor tiles if used of all said profits as we see fit or unfit we claim it anyhow so we enter into this good faith contract of the first part second part third part and all partings here and in the future as we are honest and duly duluted sponsers of good pictures at our disposal and to be disposed of if they don't work out,yours truly..etcertera,etcertera decimal points comma comma...that's all folks-the weener brothers incorporated-exclamations point..just sign on the dotted line and let's get to work.............................................. .................................................! !

Well Arr&bee, if Miss Daisy is a big fan of Ms Moe [[Superstar), then she will be just one of around 9 million cows in the USA alone.

I'm not sure this is really our idea of where Ms Moe's talents should be pitched...but Ms Moe does indeed have experience of being 'down on the farm'. [[and that certainly worked for Jane Russell, in 'The Outlaw').

As for the Weener Brothers contract...to make sense of all those words, I need to stand well back. And when I do, I can't read it.....
