The Cuckoonut Shrimp Fairy

Kids have it made! Not only do they get a long summer break to sleep in, drink Slurpees and hurt their bottoms on the Slip n’ Slide, but they also have the Tooth Fairy! What a sweet deal: Lose a tooth, stick it under your pillow and wait for the Tooth Fairy to come in the middle of the night to exchange that unsavory tooth for cash and prizes!

What a jip for adults considering how much more adults have to lose, like keys, wallets, jewelry, mobile phones, jobs, bets, etc. It’s enough to drive a person cuckoo! Wouldn’t it be great if there was a Tooth Fairy for adults, but instead of teeth she would help with all of the other things adults lose?

While pondering this very question, Betty encounters the mysterious Cuckoonut Shrimp Fairy, who claims to be a fairy for adults. And although the Cuckoonut Shrimp Fairy has a wand, a high-pitched voice and a skimpy outfit like most fairies, it’s questionable whether she has any magical powers. Check out The Cuckoonut Shrimp Fairy to find out for yourself.

The Faquitos are excellent… Your Big Dance BBQ Pizza is to die for… Nice shots on the hoop girl, and the pizza is most delectable. Thanks Jerry!
