Hello! Odd to see you! :)
You’ll get a healthy dose of mannequins in this edition of Oddballs! What constitutes a “healthy dose”? Around two tablespoons. Any more and you run the risk of constipation. Mannequins don’t digest well.

Did you know this???
Jessica met with someone at work who told her that he grew up on a farm and harvested pinto beans. He said that pinto beans are green beans (snap peas) that have dried out and they beat sacks of them like a piñata to get the beans out. What???
I never knew where pinto beans came from, I simply ate them refried in a burrito and that was that. I feel like I’m living in some weird bizarro dimension; not knowing this until now. Is this information correct? Did you know this or is it false?
Here’s a video that somewhat explains it:
Gank this meme!
We were shopping in a Target a while back and I saw these mannequins. Mannequins have always intrigued me. They have to avoid the uncanny valley to be effective - they can’t look too much like a real human or they would creep people out.
On a personal note, Bash and I were wandering through Target while Jessica was doing something at customer service, and, in jest, I walked up to a random mannequin and shushed it. Bash got the joke and went to all the mannequins in the store and shushed them.
