Episode 137

Co-ed Jessica is manning the voter registration desk and desperately trying to get personal information from tight-lipped zombies.  Name, address, and district escape them, but Jessica's brains don't.  She is eaten.

Rajiv pleads with the unusually young Princess Lakshmi to understand: he doesn't want to be a child molester.  She wants him as a man, and he wants her to have an early bedtime.  A threatened spanking nearly brings their desires together, but Rajiv wins out when a customer enters, forcing Lakshmi into the basement again.  Magnus Adversson orders a rhubarb pie with youth-inducing Rajiv spit.  As a suddenly younger Magnus, Rajiv has him sign a contract for youth-spit research in Geneva, and Lakshmi reminds Rajiv she would also like a reverse formula so she can get back to normal.

Angelica returns to her mistress after having been kidnapped and nearly killed by the Uber Minion.  Establishing herself as Uber Minion, Angelica asks for new instructions, and Mistress says, "Let the town of Solomon's River be on the shores of Lake Superior!"  Angelica figures moving the lake will be easier than moving the town and she begins drafting plans.

Reporter Anabelle Anderson of WWSR brings breaking news: a voter registration volunteer had the stop of her head chewed off.  A "down-home" eye witness reports what she saw in a way that she hopes will get her an autotuned song for her fifteen minutes of fame.

In their backwoods cabin, Bartholomew begs Cletus to help him find the lost girl they lost again.  Cletus strains to think though his hunger, but maintains he sees the girl in a bush.  Sally runs through their weak grasps.

Meanwhile, at the police station, Deputy George interviews a woman reporting she was inappropriately touched on the head and hand.  She describes the perp: very pale, dark hair that came down in a point, pointy sideburns, like Spock, but regular ears, perhaps pointy teeth... She screams as Lieutenant Bustybottoms enters.  The Lieutenant has a similar smell: cologne and feet.  Bustybottoms admits he likes to smoke Indian cigarettes and they figure the perp must, too.  The woman says the man "disappeared in a twinkle of light" and demands he be brought down the station...so he can touch her again!
  • Is co-ed Jessica fully digested, or will she return as a zombie?  Will that help her communicate better with the zombie population?
  • How fast can Magnus' scientists recreate the youth-spit, and can they make it reversible?
  • What will Bartholomew and Cletus do when and if they ever recapture Sally?
  • Can Deputy George catch the touchy-feely criminal?

Episode 136

Rajiv tries to comfort a very young Princess Lakshmi in the coffee shop's basement.  Rajiv has a "wait and see" philosophy, and suggests pretending Lakshmi is a niece from out of town.  She wants her man's love, but it's simply too creepy for him.

Meanwhile, a new plot line develops in a scrapbooking store when Steven, a former gymnast gone to seed, returns to visit his ex-partner.  He left her to follow a Star Trek convention.  He swears he only came to the shop for paper, stirs up memories from the past.  The fact that Steven has touched a girl impresses his road trip partner and fellow Trekkie.  They stay civil, and he gives him the 10" command gold paper, despite...the child!  Their last stint in Cirque du Soleil produced Steven Jr., who is very angry at his absent father; however Steven reveals her deception: he is sterile!  Who could the father be?  Judge Graft enters, cutting their argument short, and she gives her former lover the paper on the house.  Apparently the judge and Steven know each other...  Once Steven leaves, the scrapbook store owner hints to Judge Graft that she may need a sample of his DNA for testing.

Jessica, the university student, seems to be stalking Judge Graft as she manages to corner him at the scrapbooking store.  She pins him down to get his approval for her zombie voting rights idea and he offers a three-fifths compromise.  His not wanting to count the zombies as full people disturbs the equality-minded Jessica, but the judge assures her that "no lawyer in the county would represent them."

At a bus stop, a zombie waits impatiently.  The enterprising Jessica tries to register the zombie to vote.  Other zombies shuffle in, groaning.  A bus finally arrives and the zombies, not sure about their polling places, get on...sitting in the front...
  • Will Rajiv's super youth spit wear off, or will Princess Lakshmi have to grow up naturally?  Or, will she remain a young child forever?  What will the couple do about their "relations"?
  • If Trekkie Steven is not the father of Steven Jr., who is?  Could it be Judge Graft?
  • How will the judge's three-fifths compromise go over with Solomon's River's zombie population?
  • Can zombies freely sit in the front of the bus?
  • Will Jessica's push to get zombies registered to vote work, or will she have her brains eaten?

Episode 135

A representative from mayoral candidate Jere Koff's office is visiting Judge Graft with a briefcase full of money she assures the judge has nothing at all to do with cover-ups of the past or favors in the future.  The judge promises to take the...briefcase...under advisement.  The representative hopes even certain forwarded "junk pictures" could be kept hush-hush, too, and she promises not to mention Mrs. Koff, who is under the judge's desk, to Jere.

Rajiv is reunited with Princess Lakshmi, who is too afraid of her own powers to move.  Even taking a step can crush cement, and it's getting worse.  Rajiv wants to put her in his basement, but, besides hating the basement, she is afraid she'd knock down the whole store.  If only she could go back to the way she was...  Rajiv realized he holds the key in his spit!  Using his reverse-aging superpower spit, he scraks on her to "turn back the clock" and she no longer has overwhelming strength.  After his explanation, she begs to be spit on some more.  Unfortunately, Rajiv's superpower is also gaining strength, and she reverse-ages to a teenager, then to a child.  His power, which had only been temporary, may also be gaining longevity...  Rajiv takes the hand of child Lakshmi to bring her to his basement.  She cries for help, which now looks all kinds of wrong.

Detective Smegly laments not having a police precinct secretary (the previous secretary had a chip implanted in her brain from H.A.L. and has not returned.)  A call comes in regarding a possible kidnapping, and Detective Smegly promises to send someone over.  Jessica, a poly sci major at a local university, looks for directions to Jere Koff's office so she can work as a volunteer for a school project.  The office is just down the hall.

Co-ed Jessica finds Jere Koff's office manned only by Spanish-speaking Juan.  Jessica's project idea is to help register zombies, but she may have seen too much: Jere employs illegal immigrants.  Jere's representative returns just in time to remove Jessica from the area and try to clean up the mess.
  • Will Jere Koff's campaign have any money to spend on bumper stickers after they spent so much on bribes and cover-ups?
  • Will the Koff campaign be able to use go-getter Jessica's "get out the zombie vote" project, or does she already know too much?
  • Is Lakshmi saved from her super strength only to be doomed to live as a child?
  • Is Rajiv now, technically, a pedophile?

Episode 134

Cletus and Bartholemew, finally home, are arguing about who gets to eat lasagna and who Mom likes best (it's Bartholemew). Bartholemew tries to make Cletus believe that Mom is home (which she isn't), but in the meantime Cletus eats the last two pieces of lasagna. In retaliation, Bartholemew sends his brother out alone into the woods to find Sally.

Meanwhile, in another part of the woods, McShane is also wandering about looking for Sally.

Meanwhile meanwhile, in another other part of the woods, Sally and Tommy manage to find each other. Sally, who was tied up by a wolfman, is untied by Tommy as she fills him in on her latest adventures. To prevent getting separated again, they tie themselves together, but cannot decide which direction to go. Sally worries that this is how she got pregnant in the first place, and we are reminded that she believes Dr. Scarlet killed her baby and they, in turn, were going to kill the doctor in retribution. Before they leave the woods, Sally presses her very cold fingers against him, and they go off to get him checked for a baby, just in case.

Jerry Koff, now running for Mayor, is recruiting for his campaign. He plans to target the zombie community, enticing them with the slogan, "#BRAINS!!!"

McShane tries to wander off in the same direction Tommy and Sally went.

The Nurses' Association has called a meeting with the CDC to address the outbreaks of multiple dangerous, deadly, and highly contagious diseases in Solomon's River.  Expert Dr. Phlogiston and her colleague, also called Nurse and both freshly back from the Congo, meet with Nurse who recaps for them the Nurse-nudist-neo-Nazi-NARCanon-a-nado which spread a skin disease, as well as the zombie infestation and, possibly, the Zika virus.  Dr. Phlogiston and her personal Nurse are a bit horrified at both the magnitude of disease as well as the number of old, ugly nudists they might have to see.  Nurse sets up an appointment with them to meet with Dr. Scarlett.  Dr. Scarlett, however, has a history with Dr. Phlogiston.

Just in case Dr. Phlogiston and her Nurse don't make it to the Jam for Episode 136, they have their meeting right away at the local Starbucks.  It has been 20 years, but their unfinished business rears its ugly head.  Dr. Scarlett eyes Dr. Phlogiston's Nurse and we learn their history may have been professional, or it may have involved jealousy over a woman.  The drinks fly hot and fast into faces and the barista calls the police to report a rumble.  Detective Smegly enters to break it up.  The doctors think maybe they were in error and they don't actually know each other.  They order new drinks.  Satisfied the fighting is done, the detective leaves.  Dr. Phlogiston manages to insult Dr. Scarlett, who then orders a venti to fling and the fighting renews!


  • Will either Bartholomew or McShane manage to find Tommy and Sally?
  • Will Tommy and Sally find their way to Dr. Scarlett, and if so, will they really kill him?
  • Who is running against Jere Koff, and do they have a chance now that he's going after the zombie vote? #brains
  • What is the history between Dr. Phlogiston and Dr. Scarlett?  Can they work together to help Solomon's River?

Episode 133

Rajiv is in a pickle: does wait for the upset Princess Lakshmi in case she returns, or does he go to Magnus Adversson's mansion to work on plans for his "Scrak of Youth"?  Before he can decide, Lakshmi calls from the last payphone in all of Solomon's River to tell him that her super strength is getting out of control.  She can say no more, however, because she accidentally crushes the receiver.  Rajiv leaves to find her.

Jeremy, the 8th grader with the premature and indestructible beard, meets Loser Myrtle's father when he arrives to pick her up for the school dance (followed by a rented hotel room.)  Her father says both a dance and a hotel is too much; Jeremy may only choose one, so he chooses the hotel.  Bad kids from the school egg Myrtle as she leaves with Jeremy, but the couple is not deterred, and Myrtle vows vengeance.

Meanwhile, in the zombie-infested recording studio, opera star Rinatta Frinatta arrives to record her arias.  Miss Frinatta tries to work with a zombie pianist and zombie recording engineer, but they turn her beautiful aria into an operatic rendition of "Brains!"  Rinatta Frinatta leaves to complain to her manager.

In Solomon's River's General Hospital, Dr. Scarlett tries to get his new nurse to find his old nurse, Nurse.  Describing Nurse's most distinctive attribute, the new nurse promises to report him to HR, but is promptly fired when a new, new nurse arrives.  Rinatta Frinatta hurries in, worried about possible contagions from the horrible workers at the recording studio.  The quiet hospital suddenly bustling, Princess Lakshmi enters, complaining about the unwanted superpower side effects of Brendeesha Scarf's Zombie Inoculation.  Intrigued, Rinatta sneaks away.  Dr. Scarlett scoffs at the idea of zombies, just before zombies enter.  Lakshmi shows off her powers by crushing some zombies.  Dr. Scarlett debates the limits of the Hippocratic Oath.

In Brendisha Scarf's laboratory, they worry about tracking all their missing subjects.  Rinatta Frintatta, wanting to preserve her voice, arrives for a zombie inoculation.  Three hours later, Rinatta finds out about the side effects first hand.  She opens her mouth, and her voice is not only operatic, but very, VERY loud, breaking glass, plastic, and metal!

Episode 132

Rajiv is sick of being tested for superpowers and is glad when Magnus Adversson wanders into the coffee shop.  Princess Lakshmi becomes upset when she cannot control her zombie-inoculation-induced super-strength, and runs out, crying over a ruined fork.  Magnus orders his regular rhubarb pie and Doctor Pibb, but after sipping the Doctor Pibb, into which Rajiv has back-washed, is surprised by a change: he is younger!  They deduce that Rajiv has rejuvenating spit!  Unfortunately, the effect doesn't last long, and Rajiv needs to spit on Magnus repeatedly.  While young, however, Magnus Adversson realizes there is money to be made here, and he hatches a plan to harvest Rajiv spit to find the secret to the Rajiv Scrak Fountain of Youth!  They plan to meet up at Magnus' mansion.

Later, in a recording studio, music producer Marcus is doing the final recording of pop star Shasta's zombie apocalypse song, "Brains!"  It's a wrap, but zombies, perhaps attracted by the new smash single, infiltrate and infect the assistant producer who in turn chases Marcus and Shasta out of the studio.

Bartholomew and Cletus are sincerely lost in the woods, nearly drown out by howling wolves.  McShane wanders by, calling Tommy and Sally.  Unfortunately for McShane, the brothers are very hungry, and they have rope.  They tie up McShane and take him home for food.  If they can find home, that is...

Meanwhile, in the middle school where even the teachers pick on Loser Myrtle, Myrtle is accosted by the snobby girls who pretend to like her and promise to help her do her hair, makeup and dress for the school dance.  As the snobby girls mock and lie to Myrtle, hunky Jeremy (of the unshavable beard) walks by.  Snobby Sara uses her deep voice to say hello, but Jeremy only stops to ask if Myrtle will go to the dance with him!
  • What plans does Magnus have for Rajiv's rejuvenating spit?
  • How will Princess Lakshmi deal with her super strength?
  • Will Shasta's "Brains!" pop single be a hit?  Does the song really affect zombies?
  • How will McShane taste to Bartholomew and Cletus?
  • Did Jeremy seriously ask Loser Myrtle to the dance, or is he in on some snobby plot?

Episode 131

Rajiv keeps testing Lakshmi's sudden super strength, and Lakshmi keeps testing Rajiv to find his super power.  It's not mind reading.  It's not flying.  It's not hovering.  It's not immunity to pain.  Lakshmi uses her super strength to pick him up and run him back to Rajiv's Coffee House so he may meditate on the possibilities.

Bartholomew and Cletus argue as brothers do who are hungry, stuck in the forest, and tied together.  Bartholomew knocks the treesagna out of Cletus' hands and they argue about saving the girl or not.  Cletus stands firm about going home.  Bartholomew relents, as his brother is much bigger, and they head home, hoping the girl (who is Sally) will either find her own way, or at least distract the wolves plaguing this part of the forest.

Meanwhile, in a hallway outside the fifth grade classroom a frock of girls gossips about Jeremy with the Beard!  One thinks it's gross, but the more developed girl thinks it's hot.  Jeremy himself walks by and says, "What's up, Sara?" causing Sara to lose it like a fangirl.  She's positive Jeremy will now ask her to the Fifth Grade Dinner Dance--as long as Loser Myrtle isn't there.  Nobody likes her and Sara teases a plan for a prank to her scheming friends.

Friendly neighborhood barber Bobby McMasterfaster is a little lonely in his shop, hoping business will pick up soon when the bell rings optimistically.  Unfortunately, it's not a customer; it's a Born-Again Christian asking if he's found his personal Savior in Jesus Christ.  A blade flashes, the blood flows, and the Born-Again confesses with her dying breath she didn't really believe.  Bobby laughs and laughs...


  • Will meditation help Rajiv find his zombie-inoculation-induced superpower?
  • Will Bartholomew and Cletus find their way home in the wolf-infested woods?
  • What has become of Sally?
  • Will Jeremy ask Sara to the Dinner Dance?
  • What is the prank Sara wants to pull on Loser Myrtle?

Episode 130

Bobby McMasterfaster, new to the bustling Solomon's River and still happy-go-lucky and full of hope, looks to rent a storefront for his new barber shop.  Landlord Sean and his harpy wife agree to rent to him because they need the money.

Elsewhere, the Princess Evaleene is holding an audience for her supplicants who are ready to do her bidding.  After dancing and meditation, Princess Evaleene glows and springs extra arms!  The devotees praise her and ask instructions.  An unusually deep voice emanates from the Princess, "You must bring me the child!"  Which child?  "Tuesday's child!"  They promise to do her bidding as she flies off, mysteriously.

At Mason Brothers Moving Company, Franny Mason's employee, Tripp, has gotten word that his mother may have been packed away in one of the boxes from the former bar, The Dead Canary.  They leave to check, but do not know they are too late, because...

...in a truck headed far, far from Solomon's River, a woman with a thick foreign accent awakes to find herself in a box.  The woman, Tripp's mother and minion Angelica, doesn't know that her rival, Uber Minion, is the driver!  After he leaves to pee at a rest stop, she digs out her emergency box cutter.  Angelica just manages to roll open and closed the truck's rear door when Uber Minion returns from the bathroom.  As he drives away with her gripping the back of the truck, she swears she will get him when next he has to pee.

Young, giggly Lindsey Makesweaty has trouble learning how to sweep, but patient barber Bobby McMasterfaster hires her anyway.  A mother enters with her extremely bearded twelve year old son.  She wants it off, immediately; however, the youngster's beard is tougher to remove than is anticipated.  Lindsey tries using the broom, but only manages to knock the poor, hairy kid unconscious.  Three hours of clipping, razoring, and depilating have proven futile.  The mother jumps to the conclusion that it must be anabolic steroids, but she doesn't know that the previous day, her as-yet beardless boy went to Brendeesha Scarf's laboratory, wanting to become the Coolest Kid in School.  Unethically, she gives him the anti-zombie (pro-superhero) potion.

Meanwhile, in the Solomon's River fifth grade girl's bathroom, a nameless snob and  Allison, the coolest girl in the whole school who also has boobs, shun Stinky Marsha, discuss fifth grade boys, and wish those same boys were older.  A geeky kid asks to use the bathroom, as he's not feeling well.

Princess Lakshmi has discovered her powers are increasing and she shows Rajiv by lifting a VW bus.  She posits that the anti-zombie-ism potion they took may also have given Rajiv super strength.  He tries to lift the Volkswagen, but his power is definitely not strength.
  • Will Bobby McMasterfaster's barber shop hold up under the hope-drain that is Solomon's River?
  • Who is "Tuesday's child" and what does Princess Evaleene want with him or her?
  • Where is Uber Minion taking Angelica, and will she be able to take him down?

Episode 129

Zombie Professional Brendeesha Scarf's secretary alerts her boss to the increasing appointment cancellations due to the outbreak of zombie-ism.  Even Brendeesha's "livestock" of healthy humans had been infiltrated by a zombie, and now lie mostly dead, having feasted on each other.

Rajiv and Princess Lakshmi arrive for their appointment and, between their bickering, request an inoculation against zombie-ism.  Brendeesha ushers the couple into a cage, closes the door, and returns with two vials of liquid.  While Rajiv and Lakshmi debate the trustworthiness of the Zombie Professional, they hear the distinct groans of a zombie...behind them.  They drink!  Yeech: licorice.  Not a fan of being locked up, Princess Lakshmi grabs the bars of the cage and finds that she has the strength to bend apart the metal!  They run away.

Ms Scarf and her secretary discuss the increased haste in the anti-zombie-ism formula's testing process, having skipped over several important safety steps.  Checking on their latest subjects, they find the cage bent and empty.  Assuming the potion worked, and worried about an open zombie cage, Ms Scarf and her secretary take the potion, too.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the woods, Bartholomew and Cletus are tied together (for safety), hungry, and still haven't found Sally.  Frightened by a disembodied cackling, they are more frightened when the Old Man of the Woods appears!  Bartholomew explains their situation, Cletus complains of hunger.  The Old Man of the Woods works his magic on the nearest tree, which provides Cletus' favorite food: lasagna.  It's good!

The men try hard to remember Sally's name, but only get as close as "Sah-rah-lah-ha".  The Old Man calls for quiet, and speaks to the tree roots to find out who is in the forest: a bear, pooping; campers, having a fight; wandering naked nurses and Neonazis, and finally, a girl!  She is not alone... She is going to be in much trouble as she is with... The Wolfman!  Bartholomew and Cletus are worried for the girl and the Old Man says the trees will show them the way to find her.  The Old Man of the Woods disappears!

Indeed, the trees appear to point, but they are also gassy, laughing, and uninformative.  The men want to give up until they hear Sally's faint cry of, "Help me!"  Cletus would prefer to go home and eat his treesagna, but Bartholomew believes they CAN be heroes and drives them onward.
  • What has Brendeesha Scarf's anti-zombie formula actually done to Princess Lakshmi?
  • What could it have done to Rajiv?
  • Does it actually inoculate against zombie-ism?
  • Will Bartholomew and Cletus become heroes and save Sally?

Episode 128


Bartholomew and Cletus grow worried, as Sally has been gone over an hour and has not yet returned with their possum. They argue regarding the wisdom of sending someone who had been lost in the woods for two days out into the woods once again. It also comes out that Mom liked Cletus better, mainly because he looks better in a skirt. Cletus is hungry, so they go out looking for her. 
 

Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the woods, Sally wanders aimlessly, looking for Tommy and possums. She finds tracks which are bigger than her hand. She follows, ignoring the wolf howling, until she comes across a stranger who admits to having eaten the possum she was following. He invites her back to his place and she, of course, goes with him.


Elsewhere in the woods, Cletus demands to know why Bartholomew always leads, since he always gets them lost. After some back and forth, they apologize to each other. Cletus decides they have to go talk to the Old Man of the Woods. Ignoring the Old Man of the Forest who happens to be passing by, they follow the Old Man of the Woods trail in their quest to find the Old Man of the Woods.


Somewhere else, an old couple is fighting when the neighbor bangs on their wall, yelling for them to be quiet. Fred's wife Elizabeth tells him to talk with his neighbor, who refuses to come down (he has "the gout"), but instead sends down his older brother, Pedro, who is a retired luchador. Fred threatens to whoop his ass, but when Pedro arrives, they have a nice little chat about how cranky Pedro's younger brother is. His brother goads him to "Give 'em what for!" but Pedro says he'd rather just sit there and watch, which Fred and Elizabeth take him up on, inviting him into the bedroom.


Rajiv and Lakshmi have finally made their way out of the caverns, having eluded the zombies, at least for the moment. The Princess suggests, since they are the only two who know about the zombie infestation, that they call in a zombie professional. There is a knock on the door; it is the famous zombie professional, Brendita Scarf! Brendita agrees to save Solomon's River!


Later, at Brendita Scarf's place, Brendita's secretary is trying to tell a frantic man that her boss has no time free in her schedule to see him. He needs to tell her that there are zombies everywhere! The secretary tries to send him back outside, but he says he'll do anything rather than go back out there. She asks him to "step into this cage with these other gentlemen," and promises to get back to him later on. There he is informed by another man that they are to be used as "bait" by the zombie hunter. While there may be free Twinkies, he is still upset and wants to plan to escape, but gets little help from his fellow captives, one who actually volunteered. Suddenly, one of the men in the cage reveals himself to be a zombie, and chaos ensues!


  • Will Bartholomew and Cletus find Sally?
  • Will Sally be safe with this new stranger?
  • Will Pedro be content to sit and watch?
  • Can Brendita Scarf solve the zombie crisis?

Episode 127

Angelica presents Big Momma with spell ingredients gathered from Uber Minion, only one eyelash short; however, Big Momma says she doesn't need the lash to still get rid of everyone who is against her!  Uber Minion enters, wisely slathered in Crisco (an effective spell repellent), to take out Big Momma once and for all.  Big Momma sends Angelica to wake Big Poppa, who has been in a spell-induced coma since 1976 when he annoyed his wife.  Big Poppa proceeds to slap the Uber Minion around before taking him off to spoon.  Angelica picks up the spell ingredients which have fallen to the floor.  Big Momma is confident, but Angelica suspects the creeblies and dust bunnies from the floor may cause trouble with the spell-casting.

The Lynching Party had cookies and eggnog, but never got around to the lynching.  Only a few party-goers remain, and while Greta would still like to lynch, Frieda is nervous because one of Big Momma's cats had been lurking outside her window.  They compromise by sending Bertrandina, new to their group, to bring Big Momma a peace offering of leftover Christmas lynching cookies.

Meanwhile, shirtless hillbillies Bartholomew and Cletus attempt to use the lost Sally as their personal servant, not understanding the limits of her intelligence.  Directed to skin and boil a dead possum, when she touches it, the animal springs back to life and escapes.  Bartholomew and Cletus send her out to the woods to bring it back.  Sally finds a slow loris, but no possum.

Sergeant Smegley mans the police department desk phone, taking a noise complaint from a residence near Rajiv's Coffee Shop.  Policeman Joe Bob brings the Sergeant doughnuts but is, tragically, sent out to investigate.

Unbeknownst to Joe Bob, Lakshmi and Rajiv made it from the caverns back to the coffee shop, closing the trap door behind them.  As they began to set up for business, they heard a thumping sound from the basement ran for it as zombies pushed through the trap door.  It is at that moment policeman Joe Bob enters, trying to interview the patrons who turn out to be zombies.  The newly nibbled and zombie-fied policeman is after jelly doughnuts, and he assaults a public drunk to get some.

  • Will Big Poppa acclimate to the new century?
  • Will Big Momma's spell go as planned...or not?
