Thanksgiving With A Surly Scientist

Don’t you hate it when, with the best of intentions, you invite a reserved physicist into your home for Thanksgiving dinner,

and when you are passing the gravy, you accidentally spill some on him,

and he gets furious,

then turns green,

and starts growing into a gigantic irradiated mutant humanoid monster with incredible strength and size who cannot control his rage,

then suddenly, he stands up and rips the roof off your house and leaps through the gaping hole and runs away.

And then it rains.

More stuff to hate:
