The Case of
The One-Legged Lady

It was a bright and windy morning. The tall guy and I were out on our usual morning walk. All of a sudden, I spotted something:

It was a dame's leg. And from the looks of things, she had legs up to her hips. HAD being the operative word.

No shoes, no stockings, no body. She must have left in a hurry to leave THIS behind. From the proportions of this leg, she must have been like 18 feet tall with a size zero foot. She shouldn't be hard to spot! So we hit the gritty streets, looking for clues.

MMMMMM, gritty street. With butter! (It's a Southern thing!)

And wash it all down with some fresh spring water - or in this case, warm water fountain water. But then I noticed one small tiny red drop on the sidewalk. The kind of tiny red drop that could have come from a dame with only one leg running away from something chasing her at midnight on a night with no moon. Could this be a clue?

TO BE CONTINUED...

AND now for a VERY IMPORTANT NOTE from the Tall Guy:

- Toilet
- This Old House Magazine
- Picture of a waterfall in Vermont
Please note there is NOTHING crocheted. Thank you.

And now with more extra added information from the tall guy:
The first two commenters have asked if there is anything fuzzy in the bathroom since you can't see the whole thing. Trust me, there's nothing fuzzy in here. If there are any guys in your house, you know why! :)

  2. Jack, Try adding some drated cheese and a couple shots of Tabasco on those gritty streets...it will help 'em go down easier.

    TG,
    The waterfall picture is a nice touch in the bathroom...kinda sets the mood!
    Are you cropping out the fuzzy toilet seat and matching rug?

  6. Oh my stars Jack and TG....looks like you received way too many comments about the crocheted covers. You two men are being forced to defend your manliness!!! HA!! Mom says she is going back to read the comments left yesterday.

    That dame's leg belongs in NC. I do believe it is the missing Barbie leg that disappeared from our house many years ago. We do so love our grits too with cheddar cheese and butter.
    Thanks for the Monday smiles.
    Madi and Mom

  8. Very funny! BTW, I know what happened to the lady whose leg you found. She's in a box in my closet. Her friend, named Ken, is in the same predicament. Only his hands have been chewed off and his one good leg is missing a foot. They both met their fate in the jaws of a vengeful poodle who never got to go on road trips with his family. Moral of this story: never leave kids alpne in a car and never leave small maniquins in harms way!

  11. Re the crocheted items: the TG doth protest too much...

    Good luck solving the one legged lady mystery on the gritty streets... but be careful out there!

  12. So curious about the leg you found Jack!! How bizarre! And, then the mystery of where the squirrly crochet toilet paper items may live...if not in the bathroom. :)

  14. Jack, that leg was quite a scary find. I wonder if the squirrels had something to do with it.

  15. It's time to get your thinking cap Jack. Just think, the other leg is still on the loose!

  16. Hello there Jack!
    Probably that leg it's of a spider! Some times they lose a leg because they fight withe each others. Maybe it's a bird's leg. I met a sparrow who lose a leg when a car trample him. I will help you to discover more.

  17. Hi Jack, or should we call you "Dashiell Hammett" sleuthing down the missing lady?!

    Raider loves to hunt squirrel too! While we were in the middle of moving last week, one stupid squirrel came down the tree and barked at him!
    Raider gave him a piece of his mind!

    Thanks, new home is feeling like home now, all of the boxes are gone! AHHH!

  23. Oh Jack...
    First of all - great detective work on the woman with the missing leg.
    Second - if the crocheted goodies are NOT in the TG's bathroom....where did he hide them...sounds like you have MORE detecting to do!

  25. I wonder how you lose a single Barbie leg? I mean, they don't just FALL off. Some kid was MIGHTY angry..

    P.S. I'm not really falling for the bathroom story. For all we know, your dolls are sitting in there on a shelf, out of view.

  26. The great Barbie caper...good luck on solving this one Jack! P.S. the TG has a respectable man bathroom. We'll let him off the hook this time.
