Today’s episode finds the Rooty Boys trying to decipher what in the world happened to Josh’s lawn. Why was there a giant dead circle in the middle of the backyard? Was it aliens? A sinkhole precursor? A very small herbicide spill?

The first clue came in the form of a notorious criminal and known source of toxic gas that can kill just about anything:

He was the boys’ main suspect until he pointed out that his ‘exhaust port’ was pointed towards the shop and therefore could have had nothing to do with the dead lawn. The fact that his breath could knock out a draft horse was considered, but enough doubt had been introduced that the Rooty Boys decided to continue their search. A search which quickly uncovered more evidence:

This looked to be a sure bet as to the real culprit. After all, who could dispute that the cats are nothing but trouble and this one was sitting right in the middle of the ‘blast zone’. However, Oboe immediately claimed that he had just recently sat down there to rest after a prolonged butterfly chasing session. While “it was like this when I got here” is often anything but true, Jack quickly backed up his claim by saying “Hi, Kiggyhihhg”. That was good enough for the Rooty Boys. Jack’s word is bond, as we all know.

It seemed that Josh would be doomed to never know the true source of his crappy looking lawn. But just as things looked their bleakest a new clue arrived via some sort of CSI/DNA/FBI/QWERTY thing that this storyteller didn’t have time to think up a name or reasonable explanation for:

Case closed. North, stay off my damn lawn! “Yeah, North” says Griffen as he takes a wizz right in the middle of the dead spot, “Stop killing the lawn with your dog…..er….baby pee.”

Good times around here.
