I thought he used the shell corporations to traffic in turtle meat and cracked conch.
…sorry about that.
But yeah, horsemeat is tough to find down here if you don’t know one of the local Santeras. But even they have too much pride to eat it with Velveeta. I can’t say the same for Feelies fans.

Pluto had a good early run, was listed as one of the Solar System’s top 10 Planetary Prospects back in the 30′s, but then when they looked at it’s numbers closely they realized that it wasn’t all that much better than all the other various large rocks out in the Kuiper League, and now it’s pretty much considered a AAAA Minor Planet.

Of course, you know, Mickey really had a hankering for dogmeat since he was having trouble finding reliable horsemeat purveyors once he moved to the Sunshine State and secretly started buying up property under a variety of shell corporations.

Yeah, but what you don't know is that Lowell couldn't housebreak Pluto, stuck him in the back of his pickup truck, drove him out to the local Bide-a-Wee and abandoned him. Fifteen minutes before he was supposed to be euthanized, Mickey, who was actually looking for a pet albino Burmese python, singled him out and took him home. And that's the way it really happened.

Lowell did more than that--he predicted Pluto, based on gravitational fields. Christine's Lavin's song Planet X has the story: http://www.christinelavin.com/index.php?page=songs&display=233&category=Shining_My_Flashlight_on_the_Moon
