Part 1 Part 2 Part 4 Part 5

tomieandsquirrelToday’s episode. Let’s do the numbers.

The number of times something is described as:

“Great!” : 11

“Exciting!” : 5

“Interesting!” : 4

“Amazing!” : 2

“Fascinating!” : 1

“Fun!” : 1

“Pretty neat!” : 1

It strikes me that all of this verbiage is just Tomie’s way of saying, “Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line, and you will be entertained by our next available program.”
