I’ve never seen anything like this. I don’t remember writing anyone about “soggy mitt.” Inspiring though to think about a soggy mitt. This could be a whole adventure series - CAPTAIN SOGGYMITT AND BOB clean cars by day and fight evil supervillians by night.

Maybe their first mission was to destroy the man who says “neat” 30+ times a day - seems like an evil person.

I guess Soggymitt’s power could be an incredibly powerful wet slap - a very close range superpower. Bob could make up for that though and shoot easy cheese from his thumbs. So much cheese that it entirely covers the evil villian and he can’t move, then soggymitt comes in for the finishing moves.

What a duo! “Never say ‘neat’ again Mr. Neato!”

Is there such a thing!?!?!

Completely separate issue, those are the two hardest words for me to spell.

Here is what an oliver pitter and stuffer machine looks like. I have been curious about this for years and I just got right down to the very bottom of it today.

olive pitter

it’s not a very big image but you get the idea. That thing works over time and you know it - think of all the pitted olives consumed in a day.

I wonder what happens when one of the pits gets stuck? Does it shoot olives everywhere like a baseball pitching machine?

Has anyone been to an olive pitting and stuffing factory? I kinda thought it was all hand done, that probably dies with the 50s.

I also thought that if you stretched all your intestines out they would reach the moon. I think I was told that when I was like 6 years old and I believed all the way up until I was 21. How could this happened?

I didn’t learn the order of the months until I was in 5th grade. Seriously, how do these things happen. How can people not know their left from their right still?

We need more books probably.
