Summer of Doors Meets...

Today you get to write your own Red Radish story.
Wow, you really have to click on this one to see the implements of Insalataville warfare more clearly.
My server has been down all day. Odd how isolating that is...and also strangely off-putting. I need a life.

The doors look great! Well, I didn't get up in time to go anywhere at 11 this morning... just been loafing around and reading. I just don't see any reason to really "get up"... not yet, anyway. Besides, it's too hot!

...but where's your version of the events in relation to the doors?

Okay, okay: Radish forked the door, thinking Pearil was behind it (but it was actually Garlic!). Garlic cleavered the door thinking Pearil was on the other side (but it was Radish!)

Radish and Garlic both slide a step-ladder over to their respective sides of the door, climb up, and peek through the keyhole (is there a keyhole?) at the SAME TIME, and of course, Radish notices the eye shadow at once. They open the door and start to get into an argument when Garlic spies Pearil, who has been watching the entire scene unfold by peeking around the kitchen corner!

Radish and Garlic run after him, and narrowly escape the goo string that splats on the door!
Pearil is rounding the corner, heading out the garage door and slams it just in time to catch the fork Radish fired at him. Radish suddenly trips over the cat box scoop (assuming that you have one of those) and Garlic stops to assist, but Radish shouts, "Don't worry about me! GET HIM!" for Pearil is swiftly getting away.

In desperation, Garlic grabs one of his miniature flaming tuning forks and hurls it at the back door. Pearil just barely escapes, but has time to peek through the window and see a defeated Garlic (out of breath and out of ammo) retreating back to help Radish, in whom she is sorely disappointed.

Hmm. I think perhaps I (we?) have a little too much time on my hands... time to put down the book and wander downstairs.

1) Pearil inadvertently happens upon Radish and Garlic's lair and sneaks inside. But alas! they are home having taget practice! Pearil narrowly misse3s being forded as he slams the dark orange door against Radish's onslaught!
2) But now he must escape Garlic, who was on the other side of the door. Yet another narrow miss as the cleaver is buried in the door instead of in Pearil!
3) Pearil has a defense of his own called Goo Glue! He hurls a handful at Radish and Garlic who cleverly use the red door as a shield.
4) Pearil does not wait around to see how his aim was foiled but dashes through a second, windowless, red door, slamming it shut just as another fork is buried in the wood (thank goodness for solid core doors!).
5) Radish and Garlic are foiled again as Pearil continues his dash for freedom and safely eludes his nemises just as Radish switches to the dreaded Fire Fork and accidentally sets his own lair afire!
In the next panel, Pearil will watch from the safety of the pine tree as the fire department (should they be string beans? snow peas? kumquats? red chili peppers?)arrives and prevents all but the gray door from burning (and it needed to be replaced anyway)!

I noticed all of these stories have the word "hurl" in them. Good word, I guess. By the way, WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR PICTURE!??? well maybe you thought a change of scenery would be nice. Change is okay. But the shirt lies. time to do the dishes........

Okay, here is my story.... again.

The chase is on! Radish and Garlic have planned an attack to stop the meddlesome Pearil. Pearil is now running and running, trying to find a way to get the upper hand in this fight. Aha! A handy summer cottage will do the trick! Pearil slides through the door as Radish and Garlic come barreling after. He runs across the hall and just barely flees into the parlor before Radish's fork pierces the wood where he was only 5 seconds before. Now in the parlor., Pearil hears Garlic opening the door, and he runs through the orange door into the kitchen. Garlic throws her cleaver with accuracy and now only misses Pearil by a hair. She is forced to wait on the pursuit because of Radish, who is having trouble getting his fork out of the door. This gives Pearil time, and as Garlic and Radish enter, he hurls Goo-Goo Ball after Goo-Goo Ball, two hitting their marks, the others splattering over the doors and walls. Pearil slams the door behind him and races off, leaving his enemies too wipe Goo out of their eyes. Radish, succeeding this, flings his Fork at the door in hope of stabbing Pearil on his gettaway. But he is way too late. Garlic tries to gently lead Radish away, but RAdish shoots out a fire fork in one last burst os frustration. When the two villians turn their backs, Pearil peeks out at them, while the fire is gently flaming, just like Radish.

Here is my story:
Radish and Garlic are at home having aiming practice when Garlic spies Pearil sneaking towards their weapon stash. Radish flicks a fork aiming for Pearil but he ducks into the kithen and and escapes leaving Radish annoyed because he has wasted a precious fork. Now to Garlic who snuk up from the other side. She heaved her cleaver at Pearil, who saw her aim and jumped away right before the cleaver whistled past him and dug into the door.Pearil makes a wild dash for the Living Room! Radish hurls a potato bomb ,aiming for the cat door [in the bottom right corner] but misses and it explodes against the door!!!
Pearil was now heading for the outside escape.Radish wipes the potato of his hands and grabs a handful of fire forks motioning for Garlic to follw suit. Most of the fire forks miss and burn up the grass but one which catches on the door and burns THAT up. By the time the fire veggies get there every thing is burned up,Radish and garlic are bickering:IT WAS YOUR FAULT ,ALL YOUR FAULT!! MY FAULT?!YOU WERE THE ONE WHO.....
and Pearil is annoyed that he didnt get a single fork or cleaver.

I enjoyed them all very much. Very "radishy" and a lot of creative fun.
