Martha Stewart begins her prison sentence, but she has a plan.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Making a candelabra out of a smuggled pack of cigarettes and using a can of sterno from the cafeteria and origami-wadded toilet paper, she creates an icosaflamethrower and blows her way to freedom.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
But Martha Stewart failed to consider that she was being incarcerated in West Virginia.

After walking for hours, the escaped Martha Stweart finally comes upon civilization.
|
|
|
 | |  |
| o/`Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dum-doing... | |

 |
 | |  |
| Is that an out-of-tune banjo I hear? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Those strings are shot, but we can use them to hoist your instrument to the ceiling, where it will make a tasteful chandelier. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| And then we'll attach this spittoon to it, and poke some holes into the fingerboard, so it will mist down the incoming saliva. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Cool. I always wanted a drooling banjo. | |

Attracted to a country home by a smell resembling home-baked bread, the escaped Martha Stewart dares to knock on the door.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| I couldn't help but notice the smell coming from here of bread baking, with a squashy glaze. Is that some local bread? I must have the recipe. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| You must be mistaken, miss. The only kind of bread we have here is in-bread! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| But that tangy smell, I'd know it anywhere. Pumpkin! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Well, yes, I do it regularly, but I don' reckon you'd call the smell tangy. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Well, lookie what we have here. Ain't you got purty little lips? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Thank you, they're colored with lipstick pigmented from two parts beef gravy, one part potpourri, four parts goat blood, and one part Kool-Ade. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Well, little lady, I want you squeal like ... wait a minute, potpourri? Beef gravy? You're Martha Stewart, aren'tcha? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Then squeal like a papier mache porcine centerpiece, decorated with pink-dyed pencil shavings, and with the eyes made from bing cherries ... | |
 | |  |

Finding that she had more in common with this place, Martha Stewart eschewed Westport in favor of West Virginia.
|
|
|
 | |  |
| I ain't seen one of those before. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| You're telling me. A three-story doghouse made from gravel and sunflower seeds. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
No one ever suspected a thing.
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! It's a perfect miniature rendition of Mad King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Come on guys, we still need to look for our escapee, though I reckon she's already hightailed it back to Connecticut. | |
