Evens are Odds: February 2018

To the Letter

Teddy:

*receives text and notices typo*

*immediately drops everything to begin application before Allison can get home and correct herself*....

Quintessence

"Tree: (trē) n. [Ang. trēow] A mechanism for converting AIR to WOOD using SOLAR POWER..."

Just add water!..

...And don't let it get too cold, or the solar panels will all break down and fall off, and then it's a whole thing, and a couple months lead time to get new ones installed...

Circumlocution

"It's that time of year again, where you have to be a bit careful about saying precisely what time of year it is because the NFL is know to be *particular* about it's trademarks..." *Allison & Teddy carrying beer, pizza, chips, & "Sports, Go Sports" paraphernalia* "Suffice it to say, we at EVENS are ODDS invite you to join us for OUR coverage of 'THE BIG GAME' ..." ~ *Live coverage of a Bison minding it's own business*

"SPORTS, GO SPORTS!"

CPP Potential Edition

"LATER:" TEDDY *going through the scrap cut-off pile in his shop*: "Hmmm... A lot of these pieces are still a decent size: Maybe I should save them in case I ever need to do some blocking or something..." "*Literally went through this same pile last time blocking was required & couldn't find any pieces big enough to use...*" ~ "Sigh! Guess I'll just BUY some actual firewood..." ~ TEDDY *stopping chopping a load of firewood to examine the logs*: "Hmmm. Now that I'm seeing these, you know what they'd be REALLY cool for..." ~ "WOOD CHIPS IT IS!" ~ TEDDY *examining a handful of wood pellets*: "Hmmm... I wonder what it'd be like if I tried making a custom form and pressing my own particle board..." "...."

*Teddy dejectedly re-installs the gas fireplace insert* ~ "Wow, it must be amazing to have a brain where you can just look at firewood and see that!.."

"Hmmm" has to be one of the most dangerous things a crafts person can say...
