The piranhas then performed some sort of weird Martha Graham interpretive dance, which was way over Manatee's head, being strictly a literal thinker. He responded with a pirhouette

Suuwweet ending IceSquad, and cool that the good Detective made it to the end. I feel some affinity with him now, I am wearing a cast on my folding hand. I wonder what became of the Manatese Flacon?

Obviously, the piranhas bottled the left over squid ink in the Manatese Flacon. When they get asked what it is they answer, "the stuff that dreams are made of".

If you lose a son, it's possible to get another; there's only one Manatese Flacon.

So that is why you bought that van with the sign that says FREE CANDY.
LordVacuity Aug 23 2017 @ 17:31
To show off your Manatese Flacon.

The free candy is simply a bowl of leftover Sonic peppermint candies that they only get after admiring the Mantanese Flacon.

Slim, I always wondered if Flacon was a typo, and you know how folders love a good typo!

No, it was intentional, but I do love a good typo to work with (like many a folder).

This was wonderfully pulpy.

That was just wonderful from the beginning to end!
