What a Hairy Party Tweet I was reading about the Whig Party and how they were formed partly from refugees from the Anti-Masonic Party. That seems like an oddly specific party, especially now that I’m so used to political parties being so general they stand for little to nothing.
Tongue Lashing Tweet I really had seen a story about doctor’s rebuilding a guy’s tongue somehow. It was very impressive.
Define Peripatetic Tweet I can’t remember where this one came from. I’m guessing I read the word in a book, but I cannot now remember what book.

Sometimes, by regs, we have to take them off the service, then they die shortly thereafter, leading someone to comment, “I guess she was appropriate.”
A Christmas Story Tweet Since the greatest movie ever made was released in 1947, it must be kind of depressing for everyone making movies since then to know they’re only hope is “2nd best”.
Bananaesque Tweet Based on an actual bag of “banana chips” purchased at a local health food store. I ate them because, well, I’m a snacker, but they had almost no flavor and weren’t exactly crunchy.
Lab Drawing for Life Tweet Someone once asked me to do a lab draw, then they remembered that I’m the chaplain.
Initial Assessment Tweet I think of this every time I have to do an “initial assessment” of a patient at work. I mean, it should take like 2 seconds, right?
House on the Back Syndrome Tweet The other characters in the strip talk about their houses and yards. It’s been understood from the beginning that Tuttle just has his shell (inside of which are a big screen TV, a Blue-Ray player, and several other amenities that he says all fit in there due to “quantum reality”).
