    That’s Best’s pubic hair tumbling by. If you’re female resist the urge to follow it.

      Are you sure it’s not one of your old toupees?

        You mean William Shatner’s toupee. Patrick Stewart never wore one.

          I think Patrick Stewart would disagree with you: http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120111003560/memoryalpha/en/images/0/0c/Jean-Luc_Picard%2C_2350s.jpg

        Toupee or not toupee that is the question.

      I’d have thought Bestie’s pubes would have been more like the Golden Fleece of mythology.

        But…but…Best wasn’t a blonde, was he? He couldn’t have the Golden Fleece if he wasn’t blonde, could he? Or do you think he dyed only the drapes, but not the carpet?

          If he sat naked in gold bearing streams often enough, he just might’ve collected gold flakes in his “carpet”, the same way they used to do with submerged fleece.

    I hope we see more of Tumbleweed in the future. A personality like that is bound to go far.

    I realize not much wind is required to tumble tumbleweeds, but that letter is not moving at all. Is the question simply too weighty? Or perhaps Tumbleweed is self-propelled?

      The detail was not readily apparent. I was distracted by how lacking Mr. Best’s stage presence was in the latest update.

      Poignant tumbleweeds are propelled by the universe itself, when necessary.

        Its a metaphor, for Best’s skill in axeplay and womanizing.

      The afterlife in which Best landed is, in fact, contained within that letter. It’s the Huge Douche afterlife realm, so it’s very crowded, making the letter very heavy.

      It’s self-propelled. After all, it’s clearly Payet’s alt. I mean, have you ever seen them in the same strip together before? Now you know why.

      Bandit is getting better at disguises, but I don’t think she’s considered how little wind there’ll be in the bank vault.

    Mr. T Campbell and Mr. Phil Kahn, You both knew that question would be a major spoiler, and yet you went ahead and teased us this way.
    ….
    all i have to say is well done all of you! this was a witty, brillient, and i dare say 10/10 grade troll work for those who are still fans of payet. the only question i have that was not addressed here is, “Who opened the letter?”

      And why isn’t the letter moving when there is so much wind there that a tumbleweed is blowing by? I am with you… as remarkable as this may seem, this update just raises even more questions!

        good point! ….. wait a second. i sense a whole staged set up here. the view won’t pan out more. but the letter isn’t moving in the wind. then maybe some one is aiming a high powered focused fan just to move the tumbleweed yet not mess with the letter? i say this could be a great coast to coast AM degree of a cover up of the staged death of payet.

            So, you defied convention by rejecting one or the other & took both at the same time.

      What? Hell no! Look at Tumbleweed! She’s strong! Dedicated! She’s not letting anything stop her, even being indoors away from wind! She’s propelling herself by pure will!

      You go Tumbleweed! Don’t you let nothing stop you!

    Y’know… this morning while I was walking to work I saw the words “WE HAVE PAYET” scrawled in the dirt on the back of a white van parked by the side of the road.

    I was tempted to photograph it… but to be quite honest, it was cold as a mermaid’s nipples out there and I didn’t have a coat on.
