you'd think his driveway car-building/restoration project would be a hearse, or a caddy, but you'd be wrong. it'd be a decommissioned yellow checker taxi from nyc from 50 years ago

this thread isn't entirely about his own home per sé, but also homes away from home. every overnight diner in a 30mi radius modified their straw dispensers to have cigarettes, coffee costs a nickel, and you can always get a ride from a noble ghost trucker. his concerts don't sell beer but they do have cigarette vending machines.

tom waits put on trial for murdering the moon, causing it to crash in Kentucky. He made the Right friends in jail and was let out early on one condition: he find and "take care of" Saturday night and bring back its heart as proof.

he has a room of refrigerators with crayon scrawlings of vultures and dead trees, each labeled "tom wates age 5". the opposite wall has a bunch of ticks marking his height, with one line at the top being super fucking dark

- Huey, you get the dishes. Lewey, vacuum. Dewey, run to the store and buy the least expensive biscuits you can find...

- But Unca Tommy, why the hurry?

- Because your dear old Grandunca Scrooge is visiting. And this time we're gonna find out where the old geezer's buried all that money before he loses his mind.
