Courtesy of a friend, a big black woman with an eyepatch: "Uh, 911, hello? I have an issue. There's a giant black lady outside my house. She is fighting a giant monster made of vegetable soup. She's completely naked except for an eyepatch, and is swinging around a giant emery board. Also-- ...hello? Hello?! Goddammit, every fucking time."
