He decided to 'canvass' the perverts to see if they would be interested in buying a painting of a 'donkey'.At the thought of that they threw him out of the Pinto and told him they were 'terrified' of donkeys. He walked along the 'trail' until he was approached by a child who 'trick' or treated him. Plush
Tower
Monkey
Washed
Tumble
Meanwhile, our friend Joe was hallucinating and thought about the "plush" "monkey" on the "tower", oh wait, that was the classic King Kong poster. Joe seems to have "washed" out entirely, after "tumbling" out of the car when the Sasquatch wreaked his havoc.Psoriasis
Peas
Possum

Chilly
Chile
Cherry
Cheroot
Because of the goosebumps on Joe's torso, the D.I.D. knew he was "chilly". He was lucky enough to have been in "Chile" last year and learned how to make "Chili" from a native woman.

Joe was following a tweet by 'Dingbat' and let his chili burn. He was 'desperate' to eat so he threw a 'doorknob' at a 'Dingo' and killed it 'dead'.Helicopter
Holly
Hacky Sack

That dingo was "history", so Joe buried it under the "holly" that some "hipster" had arranged into a "hacky sack" arena, but it also doubled as a "helicopter" landing zone on occasion.Euro
Epitome
Envy
Escalator
Energize
As Joe was burying the dingo, he discovered a "Euro" valuable coin which now "energized" his zest for living. He would be the "envy" of the town after showing his "epitome" coin to the townsfolk. Joe tooked the "escalator" to the convention center where a coin convention was taking place.worth
worthless
leap

Since it was 'leap'year, Joe was sure the coin was 'worth' more than face value. He walked to the 'end' the convention center where he found a coin dealer.

Harried
Hinky
Hullabaloo
Halo
Joe saw a "hairy" man walking quickly through the convention. He was walking a bit "hinky" and was "harried" to get out of the center. Joe thought he saw a "halo" around the woman next to him. He thought he saw them before somewhere, maybe it was on that 60's TV show "Hullabaloo".vacant
vaccinated
vacillating

jury

jordan almonds
jeepers
He heard the elevator 'jingle' and hurried to eat his 'jordan almonds' before the door opened. He left the building and got into his old 'jalopy' heading for the courthouse. "Jeepers", he said outloud when he saw the 'jury' walk into the hallway. Bigfoot
Bologna
Blasted
Boss

Chick
Cartel
Cannon
Carousel
The "Cartel" used a "carousel" "cannon" to blast the Beluga out of the water. A "cheap" "chick" bologna would have worked just as well. Open
Oscar
Oceanographer
Octave
Olive
Bigfoot and Joe hired "Oscar" the "oceanographer" to motor out into the "open" seas to plink "olives" at the boss' drug-running boat, which made the boss' voice go up an "octave" at least when one of the dirty olives landed in his dirty martini.Dingy

sea
sunburn

Corrupt
Cookie
Curb
Cinch
Joe felt he was in a "catatonic" state. He ate a "cookie" earlier and it felt like a "curb" was blocking his way. Was the cookie "corrupt"? It was a "cinch" that something was happening to him. Stupendous
Rudder
Questioning
Pride
Operetta

Sorghum
Serrated
Sippy cup
Single
He remembered the "sordid" affair he had with the weird girl next door. Her idea of fun was cutting sweet "sorghum" with a "serrated" knife, cooking it down and making molasses. She made a concoction with the molasses and drank it from a "sippy cup". No wonder she is still "single". Novice
Marshall
Lotus
Kindly
Juvenile
Joe called her "Lotus", and "kindly" indicated she was a "novice" rather than some other crude term, since she was clearly a "juvenile". Still, he really wanted to sail with her to the "Marshall" Islands, danged drugs!Filbert
Fog
Feature
Frog
Fantastic
Lotus' best FEATURE were her eyes which could see through FOG. She wasn't a great cook, so they ate FROG legs and FILBERT nuts for dinner. The voyage through the Islands was FANTASTIC.SANDBAR

LAUGHING
Joe and Lotus dodged around the "sandbar" and rounded the "spit", while an "eagle" soared through the "wind" above, "laughing" at their drug-induced haze.Jackal
Jekyll
Jerk
Jazz hands
Jet Blue
Joe had a Dr. "Jekyll" side to him. Maybe it was the "jet blue" haze he was in or maybe it was something else. Lotus started doing the "jerk" with a passing "jackal"and Joe decided "jazz hands" was the dance for him. Itemize
Hunk
G-Force
Frontier
Extra
Joe, being the "hunk" that he is, grabbed Lotus and spun her around with enough "extra" "g-force" to cause a sonic boom, heard across the whole "frontier". All the while they spun, he was continuing to "itemize" his costs for this magnificent mind "trip".Cerebral
Corpuscle
Cat eyes
Curly
Coercion
A very "cerebral" Joe was giving much thought to what a "corpuscle" was. He was thinking so hard his straight hair became "curly" and he thought he saw "cat eyes" in the dark. "Coercion" always worked to get someone else to find out the answers he wanted. Doodle
Demand
Dunk

plaster
plastic
burn
money
As Joe was getting ready to "plaster" walls, he thought about planting "plastic" "flowers" for a low maintenance landscaping/gardening experience, particularly since he didn't have a lot of "money" to "burn", although planting the dead bodies might be fertilizer for real flowers.Groceries
Giraffes
Gorgeous
Gangly
Gentle
As a "gentle" breeze blew through the housing complex, Joe noticed "gangly" "giraffes" eyeing his plastic flowers. They looked so real and "gorgeous". After working all day building houses, he decided he needed "groceries". hands
blood
roots
thing
trap
He arrived at the grocery store only to find that he had dirty "hands". He needed to find a washroom but they had a "trap" in front of the door. He asked the manager what was that "thing" eating "roots" and "blood" sausage was. Alloy
Never
Prada
Zonk
Kidney
Remember Lotus, she of the "Prada" shoes with the "alloy" heels, who "never" slept, so it was hard to "zonk" her out to put her in the ice bath and remove her "kidney"?Sippy cup
Sordid
Sasquatch
Stingy
Steal
The "stingy" "Sasquatch" went to the convience store to "steal" a drink. Sasquatch grabbed the "sordid" cashier by the neck. George, the cashier, handed him a "sippy cup" and a Red Bull promising Sasquatch that he would help him get away.Toast
Truth
Talker
Toile
Tape
Our friend Joe is still on a high, and seeing the escaping Sasquatch, Joe decided to offer a "toast", "talker" that he is. Between the "tape" and the "toile" in the alphabetized convenience store, Joe offered up his version of the "truth" in the theft.Alien
Abet
Aver
Assess
Agile
Joe "averred" that Sasquatch was innocent.Joe knew the"alien" was "agile" and easily was able to "assess" the store's security system. Unknowingly the Sasquatch "abetted" the alien by walking into the store at that precise moment.
Umbrose
Unmatched
Utter
Understand
Ultimate
Tucked into an "umbrose" corner of the store, our friendly Sasquatch noticed that he had on "unmatched" hairy socks and thought to "utter" his favorite "ultimate" expletive under his breath that he thought no one but another S'quatch would "understand".Canny
Corndog
Cite
Citadel
Curry
He could smell the "corndog" in the warming oven and thought it would taste great with some "curry" on it. He "cited" evidence that proved that this was the way it was eaten at the "Citadel". Sasquatch was a very "canny" storyteller. Cubbyhole
Backlash
Downgrade
Earwig
Witchcraft
Joe feared a "backlash" for speaking up, so he scrunched into a "cubbyhole" with Lotus, remember her? Lotus was toying with an "earwig" that she had come across and was trying to "downgrade" her reputation for dabbling in "witchcraft" to Joe.Lemons
Limerick
Lance
Lorry
Lick
Lotus wanted to "lick" sour "lemons", while Joe read a "limerick". They both talked about jumping on the next passing "lorry" to get away from the old ugly Sasquatch. They found a "lance" for protection.BROKEN
FOOT

Poor S'quatch has "broken" a "foot" and wondered if he should "squirt" "iodine" on it before he searched for a set of "wheels" to get away.Dim
