I didn’t know there were any peanuts in the house to begin with.

<japanese> Barbi-san, Rocky says she’ll have burgers ready with extra wedge fries for Mother in a few more minutes, so you can head straight back to the hospital from here. Did you find anything?
Barbi
[phone] <japanese> No sign of struggle. But they didn’t take anything with them. Not even phones or wallets.
Carly
<japanese> I called those Dispatch people. They couldn’t tell me anything, even over a secure line, except that they believe everyone is safe. Including the cats. Agent Smith is flying over to tell us what he can.

<japanese> And they had absolutely no idea why the floor is covered in peanut shells.

Someone spread the word the door was open and the cats were out.
Gina would have filled her people in before she left for the Orion ship.
Did Akane have to bribe the little devil to take that bath?
Poor Ron, having to explain to a room full of women at least half of which are fully capable of twisting him into a pretzel that most of their family is out past Earth’s moon on a spaceship populated by an Imperial offshoot of humanity along with Ace’s daughter and Luna’s twin sister.
My first thought on reading “peanut shells” was “Why is the Librarian there?” I forgot about the squirrel.
That was peanut shells, not bananas.
[just has to chuckle over this one] Gotta love it when even the Author’s mystified by the content some times. X1
Sometimes you feel like a nut . . ..
hmmm, did the squirrel have friends and family that came with him who had a nutty party after everyone “Left”?
What do you mean there’s no sign of struggle? Clearly the peanuts lost a struggle.
Just how long was Akane waiting with her new fur-friend before Ace took her out to dinner? o_O
As all galactic hitchikers know: one needs protein and salt to ameliorate the after-effects of the matter transference beam. Hence: peanuts!
Do the Orions provide towels?
While I am fairly certain many Orions have read “Hitchhiker’s Guide” and would produce a towel-like linen (ship suit stuff) on request (with a huge grin), I strongly suspect that the common cotton/cotton blend/terrycloth towel we are accustomed to would be prohibited, just like Jaz’s clothes were when she asked why she was re-dressed in white. Flammability and the tendency to produce lint are contra-indicated for closed environments. I expect full-body sized “hand” dryers.
I always thought there were a lot of nuts in this house.
Fun fact: This is crazy. Maybe even a bit nutty. But peanuts aren’t… well, nuts. Legumes. Hmm… maybe they should name the squirrel Gummie?
That is a fun fact – but Planters, Emerald, and Blue Diamond continue to add them to cans and foil pouches of “mixed nuts,” usually as the main ingredient, unless you by the “deluxe” mix. I’m not allergic or anything, but my diet tries to restrict me to almonds or walnuts (lightly or un-salted). Like way to many items, I tell my diet to pack sand, and eat them anyway. I’d love to add “in moderation,” but I don’t want to lie.
I especially like the Virginia Gourmet Peanuts, bigger and crunchier than most. I wonder if the squirrel has a preference?
Wait, what is this place and who are these people? ;-P
It hasn’t been that long 😛
The new “tenant” brought housewarming gifts!
