Around the Block, Episode 3: The Block Street Farmer's Market

Today is The Block Street Farmer's Market. It's an amazing scene, seeing everyone flock to grab up the fresh fruits, veggies, meats, and the best shiitake sauce for pig's liver casserole for miles around. Sally Schell is selling has her famous Poodle and Mutt colognes and scents, almost selling out immediately

Along the street, musicians strum and sing while performers recite poetry and do card tricks. And everyone is happy to see that Sam, the Happy Chocolatier, has returned with his famous milk chocolate bars made with real chocolate and not the fake chocolate that caused hair loss and erratic behavior. One poor customer became so crazed after eating one of the non-chocolate bars that he kissed every lamppost in sight.

And in the midst of it all, the girls are gaga over master chef and baker Julia Children's cupcakes with rum, vodka, and Bailey's cream cheese icing. Julia just started working at Fritz's Bakery and Travel Agency. Their motto "No knead to plan. We'll whip it up." Julie says that she's been so busy that she doesn't know whether she's going or coming and she tells them a tall-tale of showing Fritz her soft peaks and getting to see his stiff peaks.





Still gagaing over Julie's baked goods, the girls aren't really listening to her half-baked story about peaking and Joan becomes bored. So she wonders off to Captain Skip's crab and cod stand.  They claim to have the freshest fish. And it's true. Blocksville is only a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico.  But today, Joan isn't wanting crabs.  Instead, she has her eye on something better -- the Captain's son, Sting Ray and his multitude of tattoos.





In fact, Sting Ray says, in his Jersey accent, that the next time he goes out on his boat, he's going to catch her a knobbed porgy.  So flattered that he would give her a knobbed porgy and being overcome by the cod and crab stench, Joan passes out, landing right on the fish.  Kathy and Catwoman (a.k.a. Jackie) run over to help her.  Sting Ray helps out by giving her mouth to mouth.  All's well that ends with mouth to mouth...  At least for Joan.






Meanwhile, at the end of the street, cave woman Fredrika explains to her cave man husband, Wilber, that the new jogging suit did not suit him. She told him that she prefers his mammoth skin suit instead and insists that he return the jogging suit at once. Wilber simply grunts and goes back into the store
