Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mikeās sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed itās been a couple years since weāve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update Iāll ever share.
RAW sirloin? tasty!
Mmm, sirloin, right, totally what that is. Although maybe that is what it is, who knows?
Maybe it’s an icepack. Like how in old movies and shows they put a steak on the eye instead of ice
That’s actually what I was thinking too. Aspirin with a steak doesn’t make much sense otherwise.
Hence the aspirin. Okay, that makes sense.
Especially since flank tends to be cheaper than sirloin, IIRC.
I dunno, a guy with a butler can’t afford an icepack with real ice in it? Plus, this is False Positive we’re talking about here…maybe the…DUN DUN DUN the aspirin is actually made of STEAK
Bahahahaaah! I like the way you’re thinking.
Not sure that’s a butler though – the tone is too familiar, they’re carrying a silver(?) tray without gloves, and do I see nail-varnish? A maid, possibly, but I’m guessing wife.
I’m also guessing Werewolf š
Ice used to be quite expensive, as it was a large block that actually had to be delivered, and then kept in a special cold place. The theory was also that the meat would draw out the water build-up in a black eye, and it would contour to the face better than an ice pack might.
Perhaps it isn’t asperine, but something for his unusual cravings for very rare steak
I’m thinking werewolf too, but this strip goes for the unpredictable, and werewolves are cliche. Oh well, I guess I’m in for a surprise on Monday.
Oh, it matters.
