Rock Hart, space dick, liked his dames the way he liked liquor. As ignitable as liquid nitrogen. And he saw the smoke rise under the door before she walked into the cockpit. Definitely not a gun in his pocket. But this was no dame. His ex. He’d missed his last check. #TwtStory

A review in Haute Cuisine said not to miss Les Transformiste’s popular desert, La Verge Volcano. Tom and Tina couldn’t resist. A waiter served the tall round chocolate desert and lit the candle. The filling burst all over them. Tina said, “What does this remind me of?” #TwtStory

Jan booked their 25th anniversary dinner at Chez Penser, where diners ate in darkness. When Carl was served, nothing was on the plate.
“You’re supposed to imagine it,” Jan said.
“But it’s $300 an entree!”
“Relish the experience, dear. We’ll never forget this meal.” #TwtStory

Jim complained that the Chez Trop Cher dinner special was an asparagus stalk with cherry tomato. “Monsieur,” the waiter said, “The asparagus is grass fed, gluten free, and extra vegan.” Satisfied, Jim ate his meal. But he was still hungry and it tasted like asparagus. #TwtStory

Pat and Brenda ordered the ground peas and legumes at the upscale vegan restaurant. When the waiter served their plates, Pat said, “I can’t eat these. Peanut allergies.”
The waiter assured Pat the peanuts were allergen free. If only he’d known what “allergen” meant. #TwtStory

Alexander and Blythe waited two years for the booking at Organique Chique. When the server plated the escargot, Blythe shouted, “These snails are alive!”
One crawled off the plate. “How do you expect us to eat them?”
“The same way diners eat all our food. Humanely.” #TwtStory

It was a world without weed. No dealers, no stores, no supply whatever. Ace and Indica squeezed each other’s hand. “What will we do?” they proclaimed in desperation. Geezer Bob lit his pipe. “Stoners. So clueless. Leave Texas and move to Colorado where it’s legal.” #TwtStory

Mary Jane swallowed a gummy before reporting to her parents. They led her to the living room. Parents never deliver good news.
“You earned a full ride scholarship to Harvard!”
Horrors. She couldn’t use college to justify hitting them up for cash. How could she buy weed? #TwtStory

Baker rushed the pizza from the door to his coffee table. Serious munchies. Like runs munchies. He opened the lid. The pizza teemed with mushrooms—crawling, expanding. They attacked him. His roomie confessed they’d laced his weed with X. He asked them to pass the pipe. #TwtStory

Herb and Alice had just brought home four ounces of Purple Urkle and another two of Diesel when the police turned onto their street, sirens and lights blazing. They flushed it all in six seconds only to realize the cops wanted the Nazi next door. Fucking lawbreakers. #TwtStory

Blaze had just finished his third bowl of Toad Venom when the Zombie principal appeared in his living room. Fiendish. Relentless. Like Bloody Mary he followed Blaze everywhere. Only one thing saved Blaze: when he came down he discovered it was a Ferris Bueller marathon. #TwtStory
