Hygiene

Hygiene
Wendy has been sent home from school with a parasite growing out of her head. This rhythmic display of family dysfunction proves the old adage: the trouble with normal is that it always gets worse.

Volcanic In Origin

Synopsis:
Brothers and sisters, before we begin our meditation on Gregory Hischaks theatrical accomplishment, let us draw our context (as Hischak may have) from scripture: specifically, from Genesis 2: 26 and 3:19. and God said, Let man . . . have dominion. . .over all the earth. . . and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. . . We have been battling over naming rights ever since.
