It was quite a good flick, a foreign jobby. BOB liked those foreign jobbies.<\/p>\n<p>On the fourth day, BOB made a garden.\u00a0 There were tomatoes, and carrots, and snow peas, and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On the fifth day, BOB made a bigger garden!\u00a0 He filled it with a lot of animals and plants, and then he grabbed a fuzzy beast by the tail and pissed down upon it.\u00a0 Thus the fuzzy beast was formed into what will hereafter be referred to as \u2018Man\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>BOB spoke to his new creation, \u201cYou are Man!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you sure?\u201d asked Man.\u00a0 It was meant to be a joke, really.\u00a0 Man knew what he was because he had an uncontrollable urge to go pick up some crazy chicks.\u00a0 Either that or go get some cheeseburgers and catch that action flick at the cinema.\u00a0 You know, the foreign jobby?\u00a0 That heist flick?\u00a0 The one with\u2026and the gun\u2026well, you know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d BOB asked, \u201cI&#8230;of course I\u2019m sure!\u00a0 What kind of question is that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So Man knelt before BOB.\u00a0 (Yeah&#8230;crazy chicks&#8230;cool&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s better,\u201d BOB murmured.\u00a0 He put on a pair of spiffy, purple-reflective sunglasses and said. \u201cOkay, I&#8217;ll quiz ya on this later: Holy number is 808; holy color is purple; holy eyewear is purple-reflective sunglasses.\u00a0 Women play a key part in your existence, yet long term contact must be avoided.\u00a0 You are sort-of, indirectly, my son&#8230; A type of under-developed, inbred slime produced on the back steps with the chambermaid.\u00a0 But a son nonetheless.\u201d BOB looked about the garden.\u00a0 \u201cLike all children I love, but fear to be publicly associated with, I&#8217;m going to leave you on this newly formed planet.\u00a0 This garden is your new home.\u00a0 A paradise unmatched in all the cosmos.\u201d BOB paused, thought better of his comment, and added, \u201cWell\u2026this part of the cosmos.\u00a0 Be happy and be free.\u00a0 Be thou sure that thou dost not eat of the Sacred Tree of Eternal Hemorrhaging.\u00a0 And thus, I shall take my leave.\u201d BOB was about to make a dramatic exit when he remembered something. \u201cOh!\u00a0 I nearly forgot.\u00a0 Your task &#8211; as Man! &#8211; is to name every single plant and animal in this garden by morning.\u00a0 Good night!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo crazy chicks?\u201d Man asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo crazy chicks.\u201d BOB replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood night.\u201d BOB repeated, a little tersely.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, BOB left.<\/p>\n<p>Man shrugged.\u00a0 He stood and glanced at the Sacred Tree &#8211; it looked fruity!\u00a0 But Man was horny, so he wandered off into the garden and tried sex with all the animals therein.\u00a0 A day later (BOB having forgotten the whole quiz in the morning thing), Man tended to various bruises and gashes.\u00a0 Once physically able, Man went to work on naming everything.\u00a0 He started with coffee because the whole morning thing? That was a bit too much.\u00a0 He made a quick note to talk with BOB about this, and then he composed a list of what he found in the garden\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>Next time on \u201cThe Boble\u201d \u2013 Women, Menstruation, and Falling From Grace<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[115,150],"class_list":["post-236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boblehub-20","tag-boble","tag-old-testicle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1032,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236\/revisions\/1032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
