It’s a very musical Petroleum ‘Pothetical day. And not just because I have a ticket to Avenue Q tonight.
Last week I asked: “What song were Amanda Lynn and Joseph duetting in their harmonica/mandolin jam session?”
And there are some fine responses; I encourage you to check them out here. But sadly, only one can take its place in the Box of Triumph, and that response is:
“A horrifying harmonica-mandolin arrangement of The Prodigy’s ‘Smack My Bitch Up.’ “
Congratulations to Paul1963. Enjoy your reign, which allows you to knight other commenters and require them to bow in your presence.
Of course, Petroleum ‘Potheticals march on perpetually, so this reign can only last a week, because there’s always a new ‘Pothetical right around the corner. So the new one? It’s a two-parter.
“Who’s going to win Chef Meowrice’s contest, and how will they achieve their victory?”
I want to know what the denizens of Gasoline Alley will do to be able to hawk cat food. And I think you all do too. So answer in comments and you may win.
I think I already gave my answer in your last post. Rufus and Kitty will win. They’ll win by buying wagons full of the cat food – which of course Kitty won’t eat because she’s got good taste and it don’t taste good. Or they’ll win because they live in a junk yard and people in Gasoline Alley don’t do even the most basic recycling things like taking the labels off their cans.

I think this may herald the return of Sturdivant Kleeb. The Pye boys, having utterly failed to make any inroads into the cutthroat world of white slavery, will just let Sturdivant go, and he will somehow make it to his parents’ home. There, he will pitch a fit because they left him with those horrible poor people. In order to pacify him, Fawther Kleeb will have the workers at his peanut-shelling factory start unwrapping cat food cans, a la Veruca Salt and her father. After all, what’s a few thousand man-hours to a man who’s already gifted two airlines and a railroad to his worthless son?
